The siding is pine laid on in ship lap
In the interior are two wooden par,
titions dividing the floor space into
three parts for convenience in feed
ing and rearing pigs of different ages
At the frcnt portion of the interior
is a four-foot wide gangway from

above the trough are suspended two
gates from the joists overhead. These
are arranged so as to swing forward

of latch and are swung inward, thus
placing the trough in the entry SO
that 1t may be cleaned out and the
food placed in It without loss of tenn

get in place by a vertically acting

THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear.
Tier Than In the United States.


For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side OF the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do. IL may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note OF warning. or II may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
Clared Itself. But whatever the reason.
their Thanksgiving day is past. II may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
we're pushing themselves so hard and
SO fast that the Canadians we're
ashamed TO postpone the event They
have had reasons. and good ones, too,
tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded IN
abundance. and here. by the way. IL Ia
not uninteresting to the friends OF

made their home In Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously In the

wan and Alberta. have the greatest
reason of any OF the provinces TO ex.
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results In the
line OF production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others In
so far as the total Increase in the coun.
try's wealth is concerned There is no
question that Providence was espe.
cially generous. The weather condi-
tons were perfect. and during the
ripening and harvesting period. there
was nothing to interfere. And now II

careful farming will do. II will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels OF wheat from
seven million acres. and II will pro-
duce splendid lot OF oats. yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost OF
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
THE whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message OF gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton OF the source from which the
blessings have flown. and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit OF
thankfulness for the privilege OF living
In so fruitful land. The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con
template with satisfaction the COM
forts OF the present Thanksgiving

Fertility Of swamp Iand.

Swamp lands have often proved un.
favorable for agriculture. even when
we'll drained and fertilized. From the
Investigations into the subject in the
extensive swamps of the United
States A. Dachnowski concludes that
the loss OF fertility is due, at least in
part, 10 the presence In bog water
OF substances poisonous to plants.
They seem TO be produced by imper-
feet oxidation and decomposition OF
proteins and related bodies and Il is
possible that in respiration bog plants
may diner from others. After the
land has been exposed to the air for
time the fertility is restored by OK
idation OF the harmful products.

MRS. ANN GRIDLEY RESIGNS.
Mother of Dewey's Captain Quit:
Federal Service at Age of 81.

Washington, July,t7.-Mrs. Ann f.
Gridley, mother of Capt. Charles "
Gridey, OF Manila fame, who has been
clerk at $500 per annum in the
general land office for many years, has
presented her resignation. Her con-
tinued illness, which prevents her from
performing her duties as clerk, is the
reason for her actiOnaia.t-
Mrs. Gridey was appointed to 4
place in the patent office, from the
State of Michigan, in 1880. Subse-
qucntly she was transferred to the
land office, where she remained until
through illness and advancing years,
she was obliged to discontinue her
work. -
She will be SO years old next Decem-
Der, and up to the day she gave up her
work she was active in body and IN
mind, and declined to accept aid in her
daily duties. She has been, and is, a
most remarkable woman, asking and
accepting nothing because she gave to
her country the man who commanded
Admiral Dewey's flagship at the battle
of Manila.
Mrs. Gridley has a record, however
which goes far back of the Spanish
American war, for she gave all she had
to give to her country in the dark days
of the Civil war. She had only two
children, both boys, and both We're
enlisted in that war, one serving in the
army and the other in the navy Lucius
E. Gridley bears wounds received in
battle. He lives in this city, is clerk
in the Treasury Department, and his
mother makes her home with him.
Capt Charles V. Gridley saw active
service in the navy during the Civil
war, and was in the battle of Mobile
Bay. His service in the Spanish
American war is a part of history.
During the last year of the Civil war
Mrs. Gridley was volunteer nurse in
the Union army, and rendered notable
service During her service as a nurse
she was at the front most of the time,
being on the field at City Point and
other of the great battles. She gave
not only her two sons. but herself,
when there was the greatest need for
loyal men and women.
