Every
Heart Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood
out of the heart, and sends it
coursing through the veins to
the rctnotest part of the body.
This is the amount required by
nature to tlourish and sustain
your body. Every ounce Less
than this means a shortage in
natures supply of building-up
material. A weak heart cannot
meet this demand, and conse-
quently you suffer. If your
heart skips a beat, or Autters,
palpitates, pains you, or you
have shortness Of breath, you
may be sure that the heart is
working irnperfectly.

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action Of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles Of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

DURABLE HOG YARD FENCE.
Method of Construction of One Out
of Woven Wire.

The question of cheap, durable and
serviceable fencing for the small
wards adjacent to the piggery is an
important problem, says R. S. Shaw
of Michigan, in Prairie Farmer Dur
ing the past, lumber in various forms
has been converted into fences OF diff
ferent styles for this purpose, but now
its scarcity and high price render it's
use almost prOhibitive.
A tight board fence probably makes
the most perfect one for turning hogs.
We have attempted to make suit
able substitute, in large part, for the
lumber except in the case of the di-
visions between the boar pens. The
fences forming our small pens are

constructed of woven wire with 2x6
inch material at bottom and top. The
plan is shown in the accompanying
sketch. Cedar posts are placed in this
case, a little less than eight feet apart.
(They should not be more than this
distance for pen fences.) The posts
were notched out at the bottom and
top one inch deep and the width OF
the 2x6. Thus the 2X6'S when firmly
spiked in place, instead of being
flush, projected an inch out from the
surface of the post.
The 26-inch woven wire was placed
on the posts with top and bottom
wires just touching the 2x6's. The
woven wire was not stapled to the
end posts but each strand brought
around the post and wrapped on it
self. The wire fencing was also
stapled to the intermediate cedar post
and the top and bottom wires to the
2x6's, against which they rested.
The woven wire used was special
hog fence with seven lateral wires,
top and bottom wires No. 9 and in
termediate No. 12 There are 20 No.
IL cross wires to the rod. The woven
wire and 2x6 make the fence 38 inches
high. This has furnished a cheap
renee and after three seasons use we
are perfectly satisfied with it. But
one repair has been made and that at
a point where a flaw occurred in the
wire. The openings of these pens
consist of doors which slide up and
down in grooves at the sides, dropping
into slots at the bottom to prevent
pigs from opening them.

Lower Animals in Sickness.

Man might often take from the low
er animals lesson as to the care of
himself when i'll. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little; lie
quiet in dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When a dog loses
his appetite he knows where to find
dog grass, which acts as a purgative
and emetic. Sheep and COWS, when
Ill, seek certain herbs Any animal
suffering frcm chronic rheumatism
keeps as far as possible from the
sun. If chimpanzee be wounded he
has been seen to stop the bleeding by
plaster of chewed-up leaves and
grass.

The police faced a puzzler this
morning. Patrolman Pike brought

George Atkinson, a farmer from
Oroville, Wash.
1--WE been shot through the
head" said the farmer to Sergeant
McPhee.
"Lemme see," said the sergeant.
1t turned out that Atkinson had
not been shot, but he had lump
on his head as large as a mans
fist and blood was flowing down
his shirt from the wound.
He kept insisting that he had
been held up, shot and robbed of
$40. He is now being held at the
Jail awaiting developments.
Patrolman Pike stopped Atkin-
son on the street, but could get no
information from him so he placed
him under arrest.
Bystanders said they had seen
the injured man under the Mon
roe street bridge where he was
stretched out at full length as If

PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-
Egypt's plague of locusts is called
to mind by the sudden descent of
thousands of fleas upon the Quaker
City.
A few weeks ago a warning was
issued by the department of agri-
culture calling attention to the
presence of numbers of these pests
in the outlying sections of the
state, but little attention was paid
to it. as nobody anticipated con-
centrated attack on the metropolis.
AS a consequence the invaders met
with no opposition, and however
much the city of brotherly love
may have been maligned for
quietude in the past, none can deny
that 1t is now up to scratch. Not
only in the Stun districts, but in
Chestnut street as well, Philadel-
phians are writing under the as
saults of the pests.
