AN IDEAL HOGHOUSE.
This Is what Its Desi Ener Calls the
Little Structure Here Described
by Himself.

A ground plan of my hog house, built
in 1894, is shown in the cut. 1t is an
ideal one. The chimney is directly
behind the ventilator. 1t is half way
down the roof. l prefer my hogs all
in one house. Here ! can feed so to 60
of all ages in Is or 90 minutes. Their
feed is put in dry, one bag to barrel;
then the barrel is filed with boiling
water from a faucet in the cooker.
Water is heated in the afternoon,
turned in the barrel with feed after
chores are done, and left over night
with cover on. The next day it is STIR

CONVINCING Proof.

Case No. 41,206.-Capt. Alfred G.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: "I had a weak back
ever since l was boy, and about six
years ago the cause developed into
rather bad case of kidney complaint.
1t was not a little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
/ tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
1 can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
''In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
81 took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
tiCn, and which my friends and ac-
quaintances advised. l consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.

a pronounced case of kidney com
plant that l often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention l wanted to try them,
just as had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright
Co.'S drug store for box. Relief fol-
lowed. | knew after a dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, l continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
LET me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, l would
willingly pay one months wages for
box of them if l could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and l will

THINGS BETTER LEFT UNSAID.
AwknrdIy ns to Give IL Wrong
ImpreaEiOn.

Und@r the caption, "The Art of Putting
Things" an English author has given some
very amusing examples of saying things in a
queer way. One of the most unfortunate
recorded attempts to escape from a conver-
sational difficulty was made by an East end
curate, who cultivated the friendship of
mechanics.
One day carpenter came to him and
said: Il have brought my boys likeness,
as you said you'd like to have it"
How good of you to remember!" said
the CT e, What capital likeness! How
is h
=" by, sir, don't you remember said
the carpenter. He dead"
"Oh, yes, Of course | know that, replied
the curate. 81 mean how's the man that
took the photograph"
a story is told oI young laborer who, on
his way to his days work, called at the
registrars office to register his fathers
death. When the Official asked the date of
the event, the son replied
"He Amt dead yet, but he'll be dead be-
fore night, so | thought it would save me
another journey ii you would put it down
now"
"Oh, but that won't do at ALL" said the
registrar. Perhaps your father will live
till tomorrow"
Wei, don't know, sir; the doctor says
as he won't; and he knows what he has
given him.

would have to work two hours or more
to feed them all, carrying feed to each
pen and removing snowdrifts or ice
from the troughs before feeding The
stable is cleaned twice or three times
a week except when feeding corn
heavily, when it is cleaned every day
on account of the corncobs. The hogs
in winter are always in the house, GO
ing back to their pen when let out.
In my hog house ! have lost but two
pigs by thumps since 1897. The tank
on cooker can be removed and made
a regular stove, and when it is cold,
u good hot fire is made from chunks
of knotty wood, which cannot be
worked up for the kitchen stove. If
the little doors are made six by eight
inches the little pigs will come out and
run back and forth in the alleys, as in
summer. In the cooking room | have
a shallow trough two inches deep, ten
inches wide, four to six feet long. In
this is put some cooked whole wheat
and cracked corn made up for the pigs.
In one end is a cross cleat about 12
inches from the end of the trough In
this end some dry earth is put for the
pigs to dig and exercise in; earth
from the fall plowing of sod is best.
This will have to be put in more than
once, as they will have it dug out sew
eral times a day. After their exer-
else, when it begins to get cool, they
will crawl under the cooker and lie
around the side of it sound asleep.
] have my pigs farrowed in winter,
about February; January is too early,
as the pigs are too large and want
more room. | plan to have as many
farrow at one time as possible; then
there is less trouble in dividing them
for feeding in pens, and an early pig
can be shipped for breeding much
earlier than a late one. | use feed
cooker; capacity, so gallons, which is
small enough.
My hog house is 40 feet in diameter,
sides ten feet long and six feet six
inches high to ceiling. The rafters
from each corner run to the center.
and those between are spiked on to the
main raftcr. There is a ventilator l6
inches square in center, SLATED on
four sides to keep rain and snow out
and to let out steam, etc, which may
gather a large trapdoor is directly
over the cooker. 1t is opened when
water is taken from the tank and all
steam goes out direct. After the
water handling is done the trapdoor
is closed up and all heat is kept in.
This door is three by six feet. !would

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from Il Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
Dr. S. b. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the PernHa was suffering from Laryngi-
fS, and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
TO be able to say she is entirely cured. -

the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna

DR.. Hartman, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons in the United
States, was the first man to formulate
Peruna. 1t was through his genius and
perseverance that it was introduced to
the medical profession of this country.

Nearly 500 passengers who were
