apparatus by which the pigs are given
good washing before they are
slaughtered. 1t should also prove
equally as useful at other times. The
construction and operation of the dip
ping tank, as it is called, will be plain
ly evident by a glance at the accom-
panying illustration. Resting on the
ground is the water tank, which is
connected to an inclined inlet and OUT
let. On the incline of the outlet are
tiny stairs to assist the pig in ascend
ing. In preparation for his annual"
the pig is forced down the incline into
the water, and if his common sense
does not direct him on to the incline
he is prodded from behind with bar.
In fact, in time this device may be-
come very fashionable with pigs, and
it would not be surprising to hear Of
them taking their daily "dip" here
after.

HAWK DROVE cows home.

has herd of about 35 COWS, which
are turned out to Craze daily in pas
ture some distance from the farm
house, and it has been the duty of the
farmers son, a lad of 16, to go after
the cattle each night, and drive them
home to be MIXED. Some time ago
the boy found a hawks nest, took the
young ones home, and raised one as
pet. Since then the hawk has always
accompanied the boy. One day re-
Gently, the boy hurt his foot, and was
unable to go after the cows. The farm
er had no one else to send; but at the
usual time the cows came trooping in,
not one was missing, and flying along
in the rear of the herd was the pet
hawk. Next evening the hawk again
started out after the cows, but this
time he was watched. First the bird
drove all the cows together by assail-
ing each straggler separately. Then
the entire drove was started towards
home. If COW loitered the hawk
flew after her, pecked at her back,
and beat her with his wings. When
all the cows were in motion the hawk
pecched himself on the horn of the
rear one, and calmly watched the
progress of his charges.

The fact is, chronic catarrh Is a dis.

thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. Itmay be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma.

is the remedy. This doctor has tried to

BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
thatthis remedy can supplied direct
