Plan of a Structure That Is COnven-
ientIy Arranged and Reasonably
Easy to Ventilate.

The piggery illustrated herewith is
90 by 30 feet with eight-foot posts and
has a one-quarter pitch roof. The four
pens are arranged along the south side
of the building and each pen is pro-
vided with door 2Ha feet square. In
order to secure a maximum amount of
air and sunshine, a window three feet
square is placed in each pen, four feet

the width of the pen and four feet long
should be placed under the trough and
furnish place for feeding. The ground
plan shows the arrangement of pens,
troughs, doors, alley. feed bins, etc.

fourth meridian, also purchased quar-
ter section of Canadian Pacific railway
land. L have been farming more or less
nearly all my life and l am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent.
cheaper here than where 1 came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about $4,000. The yield of my
grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels
per acre. This year Gs9s) yield of
wheat per acre 371s bushels, oats so
bushels, barley 35 and potatoes 400 per
acre. 1 consider this is a much better
country for man than where 1 came
from, provided he is industrious. You
get free homestead here and Canadian
Pacific railway lands are cheap and the
terms easy. / have now made my
seventh paymenton the land purchased
by me and am much pleased with my
purchase, as the land has already much
more than paid for itself. School law

"A large number of our town

Wednesday.
John Wanamaker believes in
advertising, and no doubt his great
success as a merchant is due to his
liberal patronage to the newspapers.
He has made contract with one of
Philadelphia's leading daily papers
for an entire page for one year, for
which he will pay 10000. If any
of our advertisers are contemplating
having Il whole page in the News
item reserved for their use, we will
gladly furnish them space for a trifie
less than Wanamaker pays.
We do not know what this world
would come to if the people would

That is the only fault Chairman
Scouten can find against the Repub-
lcan candidates, and on this score
is heaping no end Of abuse ubon
them. There il not the slightest
doubt but that Scouten is worth
more (inantially) than all three of
the candidates he is bowling about.
Why then all this abuse
In a campaign where men are to
be elected to offices of great impor-
tance, the question as to what a man
is worth if he comes honestly by it
is not to be considered an issue,
and we repeat our quotation in the
Herald, that poor fund is collected
for the purpose of those who are de-
pendant ON the public, and that
competent, reliable men, men who
! have made Il success of their own
business, are the people to be prefer
ed for officers. This is no reflection
that poor man is not entitled to an
Office, if competent. We simply
say IT is NO ISSUE.
The NEWS ITEM stated last week
that it was authorized to deny the
charges made against County Com.
S. S. Rogers by the Herald, who
now looks upon our statement with
discredit and throws more mud up
ON the good characters of both Mr..
Rogers and Mr.. Baumunk. 1t was
Mr.. Rogers himself that told the
editor he never made the statement
charged against him by the Herdtd.
And we consider that sufficient.
