several years he has been driving ar old
frame of d horse The animal was not
very fast, but he was faithful. One day
not long ago the old milkman was sud
denly stricken with paralysis while max
ing his round, or just as he had com
pleted it. At any rate he was in his
wagon and was so violently afflicted that
he could not move. could not do any
thing for himsmelf-
The horse seemed to understand the
situation, SO he pulled the wagon home
with his master in it. I did not know
about this until several days after it
happened. I missed my milkman for
several days and did not understand
why it was. I thought probably the old
fellow was sick or that something had
strange mi1kman stopped in front of my
house. He came in and asked if the old
man-calling his name-had been deliv-
ering milk at my place told him that
he had and inquired what was the mat
ter with the old fellow. Then he told me
the old dairyman had been stricken with
paralysis and was in a desperate condi-
ton.

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock
raiser you know your stock

protected from the rigors of
winter by expensive shelter.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
in tellectual 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 never failing safeguard.
DIR. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who
used the Peruna was suffering from
Iaryngiis and loss of voice. TIE result
of the treatment was most safiSfac-
tory. She found great relief, and
after further use of the medicine we
hope TO be able to say she is entirely
cured. "-Sisfers of Charity.
The young girl was under the care OF
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good
results as the above letter testifics.

longer, with only one row Of pens
and these on the south side, with
feeding alleys on the north. Sun
shine is as essential to the healthy
growth OF hogs as 1t is to the
growth of corn, and no effort should be
spared to provide plenty of it. A wide
house standing east and west may be
lighted by having the north side OF the
roof three or four feet higher at the
ridge than the south side, and windows
built in between. This plan insures some
sunlight in each pen. At least one loot
Of trough room should be allowed for
each hog. If the house is divided into
ten pens, each 10x14 feet, with four foot
alley through the center 1t Will accom-
modate the full number while fatten-
ing. Twelve or Is brood sows will be
required to raise 100 pigs, and the ten
pens will be none too many during the
tarrowing season.
If ear corn is used largely in fatten-
ing, labor will be saved by removing
the slides between the pens, using three
or four on one side for feeding floor,
and the other side for sleeping quar-
ters. If this suggestion is adopted q
passage two feet. wide should be pro-
vided across the end Of the feeding al
ley. Reserve pens are thus kept for
store hogs and brood sows, and the full
amount of trough room can be used.
The construction of the house will de-
pend largely on the amount OF money
that can be put into the building. A
cement floor and cement troughs are
advisable. The floor should slope to
the outside for free drainage and
should always be kept well bedded dur
ing cold weather. Drop siding over 2x4
studding makes a suitable building It
is assumed that the corn crib can be
built close by, which is better than to
make it a part of the building, as the
steam from the animals is likely to in
jure the flavor of the grain. One pen
may be inclosed entirely, to use as a
feed room where mill feed is kept, and
1t will often be useful for a narrowing
pen for early pigs. The posts should be
eight feet high and floored to provide
storage for bedding above the sleeping
pens.

also, if means will permit, access being
made to them through sliding door
from each pen. A good sized window
should be put in for each pen also, and
movable partitions or at least sliding
doors between the pens for convenience
in changing stock from one pen to an
other. Numerous conveniences can be
added to suit circumstances but as 81

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
is MADE.

A recent seizure of lot OF Cheap"
baking powders by the authorities or
neighboring city has exposed the
character Of the low priced brands OF
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analyzed. The official
report of the analysis showed the stuff
to be "alum powders" composed chiefly
of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dan
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap" baking powders.
They are all found, when analyZed, to
contain large percentages of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added varf-
Gus sorts Of filling matter sometimes
both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream Of tartar bak-
ing powders, are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful.

DISTEMPER IN CATTLE.
II Taken EARLY, the Disease Can BE
Checked Readily and n Cure
Effected.

The first symptom of cattle distem-
per usually noticed is swelling of tho
throat. especially the throat glands.
1t is more common with young ami
mails than older ones, but may attack
cattle at any age. The swelling comes
suddenly, often within "a hours, and
is generally severe. 1t is preceded by
discharges from the eyes and nose,
accompanied with some fever The
swelling gradually increases in size
until an abscess containing a thick yell
low pus forms. Often two or three
of these assesses form about the
throat, on the side of the head, or
along on the jaw. The distemper ap-
pears to be somewhat contagious, but
not especially so. If taken early, cat
tie distemper may be relieved ordi-
narily by rubbing the parts thorough
ly two or three times daily with lini-
ment made with equal parts of tur-
pentine, kerosene oil and alcoholic
tincture of camphor This rubbing
should be kept up faithfully until the
swelling is entirely scattered. II,
however, the swelling progresses too
far, and assesses form, they should
be opened with a lancet, and the open
ing we'll washed out twice day with
soap suds, made of CASTLE soap and
warm water. Let it partially dry, and
then apply freely a solution of blue
vitriol of the strength Of a tablespoon
full of vitriol dissolved in half pint
of water. Continue this process until
a cure is entirely effected.-T. E. Rich

PLAN FOR HOG HOUSE.
Advice to n Farmer who Wants ts
Build IA Structure to ACCOM-
MEDIATE 100 Animals.

1t is difficult to plan a hog house
where little is known of the conditions
governing. 1t is assumed that it is the
purpose of the builder to grow and fat
ten 100 hogs per year. or in other
words that he is likely to have 100 hogs
to shelter at one time that will average
200 pounds each. This being the correct
assumption. it would hardly do to plan
a building less than 32X50 feet. on the
ground. The building should stand
north and south, if the lay of the land
and other buildings will permit, so as
TO get sunshine into each pen at some
time during the day.
If the building cannot be so placed
1t will be best to make it narrower and
