Some farmers-and they are good
ones, too-advise turning the straw
stack into d hog house. They fence
the stack into the pen and let the hogs
do the rest. This sounds like a slouchy
plan, but it is not so bad after all, says
Kimball's Dairy Farmer The hog will
keep his sleeping place clean if he has
half chance, and by this method he
works the straw up into fine quality
of fertilizer You can assist him in the
good work by setting up posts or rails
in the form Of an inverted V and stack
ing the straw on this Such a plan fur
nishes an open door and good place
for the hog to start building his winter

PERKINS SERVED TINE

Rev. George Perkins, the Negro Ar

ored Baptist Church, an Ex-convict
Chief Of Police Nicholson Runs
Down Record.
Thru the efforts of Chief Of Police
w. E. Nicholson, and to the satisfac--
ton of himself and Warden Marquis
Barr, of the Anamosa penitentiary, he
has proven that Rev. George Perkins,
the negro now in Jail, served term in
the state penitentiary.
Perkins is the negro who was ar
rested late last winter and indicted for
soliciting money for the negro Baptist
church The indictment was declared
invalid because of flaws found in the
method of drawing and empaneling
the grand jury.
Perkins is now in Jail awaiting the
action of the August grand jury.
Photographs and measurements of
Perkins We're sent to AnamoSa, and
photographs taken of him while he
was imprisoned there, with additional
measurements, We're returned. Warden
Barr says Perkins is the same man
who, under the name of George Harris,
served a term of three years for OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses in
woodbury. county. He entered the
prison Sept. 80, 1903 He claimed then
his home was in Edwardsville, Kas.
He also made the claim thai he was a
preacher and appeared very religious.
