Winter Cara of Pics.

It is essential that fall narrowed pigs
should have dry and reasonably warm
sleeping quarters. Young pigs cannot
survive the winter If housed in damp
and poorly ventilated buildings. EX
pensive buildings are not necessary
but Il little attention to ventilation and
supply of dry straw will return a
good dividend Exclude drafts from
the sleeping pen. Large quantities of
bedding are not required, but it should
be changed at least once week. In
snowy weather it may be necessary to
change the bedding each day, since
the pigs will carry a considerable guam
tity of snow into their sleeping apart
ments See that their beds are free
from dust. Perhaps the best means of
allaying dust is to sprinkle the sleep
ing quarters about twice each. month
with crude oil. This will aid greatly
in destroying external parasites. 1t is
desirable to have the sleeping quarters
at Il considerable distance from the
feeding place, thus compelling the pigs
to take the exercise which is so essen
tial to their development and health

A process has recently been invented
In France to produce glass tlowerpots
at very lew cost, The pots are like or

shape. They are said to be more sub
stantial and have proved to resist the
pressure OF ice or frozen earth better.
Being handsome In appearance they
are fine for potted plants. doing away

plants can easily be slipped out. and
they are therefore excellent for pot
ting plants with many roots. The
thickness of the glass, with the conse-
Quent lack of porosity. is also said to
be an advantage. for the air remains
sweet longer in Il glass pot than In an
ordinary pot and there is less danger
or drying out, While the initial cost OF
glass pots is somewhat higher they are
really cheaper in the end because more

During the winter months sheep
should be well protected from storms

does not greatly affect the body tenn

but in case the fleece becomes soaked

A Word to Parents.

The Democrat finds the following
article in the columns of The Catholic
Sentinel of Chippewa Falls;
The girls that go down street at
night and stay there until 10 o'clock
and after pacing the streets chatting
and laughing loudly, and watching out
for beaux and such-what kind of
mothers and fathers have they, any
way? Certainly very thoughtless or
cowardly ones. That is the verdict of
the people who see these careless girls
flirting about the public streets and
running into all sorts of dangers and
designs. Parents had better think
about these things before it is ever
lastingly too late
Have they any idea that this gadding
at night might result in their girl
capturing lover and finally getting
married? What blind hope is that,
and how bleared with risk! Such a
match would soon go to ruin or into
the divorce courts, or possibly the
hospital. This neglect of parents is
one of the dangers to the country, and
in some way the country ought to get
rid of it. Of all the enemies a child
has, thoughtless parent is the most
dangerous.-Ohio State Journal.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warning
to Every Man and Woman.

IhlS Offer Should be a Warning
to Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative
to a famous millionaires offer of
million dollars for new stomach.
This great multi millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric juices, or
by lack of tone in the walls of the
stomach. The result is that the stomach
loses its power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain
elements-to help to restore to the
gastric juices their digestive power,
and to aid in making the stomach
strong and we'll.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are most dependable remedy
for disordered stomachs, indigestion,
and dyspepsia,
We want you to try them and will
return your money if you are not more
than satisfied with the result.
Three sizes, % cents, so cents, and
$100. Remember, you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in this community
only at our store-The Rexall Store.

Veterinary Office Burned

The Chronicle, Jan. 49, The Dodge
vile fire department was called out
Sunday afternoon to extinguish fire
in the veterinary Office of DR.. Chas.
Schmitt on North Main street.
When the fire fighters arrived, the
interior of the building, which is a
small structure, was a mass of flames.
On account of the water mains the
department was without water and had
to resort to bucket brigade from
cisterns and wells. After hard fighting
for few minutes the fire was placed
under control, but not until the interior
had been Quilted and the furniture and
drugs destroyed,
The loss was about $3.50 which was
partially covered by insurance.
