When the surroundings become in
sanitary, the cot can easily be moved
to clean place.
Probably the greatest disadvantage
In the cot is the large amount of
work required to tend the stock. This
is matter Of no small Importance.
There are usually no windows, so
there is no sunshine or light when the
roof door is closed. There is, how
ever, no reason why windows and ven
tilation should not be provided The
open roof which is commonly used
places the pigs in more danger of be
ing chilled by cold winds and sudden
storms when the attendant is away.
Unless the cot is unusually well built,
1t is somewhat more difficult to keep
warm in very cold weather than the
large house.
The main advantage in the large
house lies in the convenience with
which the stock can be tended and
the short time required to see all the
animals It is somewhat more easy
to keep warm, and is more easily heat
ed if artificial heat is required. Dur
ing cold days the pigs can get the sun
shine. if there is any, without any ex-
posure whatever.
The variety Of individual hog houses
is greater, if anything, than that of
large houses, but they are readily
separable into two general classes
the A-shaped cot, and the various cots
with perpendicular Sides. A.
shaped cot is quite satisfactory when
well built and provided with window
and yentilating door, but generally
these are lacking. Nearly all of the
cots with perpendicular sides have
doors in the roof or in the south side
to be opened in sunny weather. 1t is
easier to care for soWs in these houses
than in the A-shaped cots. All cots
should be built on skids.
One of the Illustrations shows an A
shaped cot All the walls are double,
being sheathed, papered, and then Gov
erred with flooring. The doors are
also double These cots cost about $40
each Less substantial cots of the
same shape may be built for much less
money.
Another Of the Illustrations shows a
type of cot in use in. southeastern
Iowa. The whole south roof is on
hinges and can be laid over on the
north side. The front wall is a loose
panel, which can be quickly removed
The floor is also removable There
are no projections on the ends. in or,

gether in winter. They are moved by

vent the hogs from roofing. Electric

isfactory This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs. almost free from
rats, and, If properly bedded, warm
and dry. It is. however, more difRcult
to keep free from dust than some 9TH
er floors. Many concrete floors are
used, but they are cold, liable to be
wet, and are hard on the hogs feet.
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors Concrete floors are,
however, very satisfactory when COW
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side, as shown in
the illustration The wood portion OF
this floor consists of Q by a inch tim
bers laid about one-fourth> inch apart
to allow drainage.
Board floors are expensive, short
lived. cold If up of the ground, and
make the worst kind OF rat laarbors.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor in which the
owner said the rats had gotten over
half the pigs Several men report
that rats may be kept out BY packing
sand or cinders to the top Of the joists
before laying the floor, but these ma
terials are often too expensive to be
used for this purpose
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to IL inches above, So that
young pigs can not crawl through, and
so sows in the adjoining pens can not
get hold of them and pull them
through A SOW will often pull a new
ly born pig through under partition
and eat it, when. IL the pig was In
the pen with her, 1t would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or IL inches
1t is better to have the partitions open
enough SO the hogs can see out, other
wise at every sound the sows will be
up on the partitions to see what us
going on.
Pig rails or guardrails should be
placed on the inside Of the pen, from
6 to 10 inches from the floor, accord
ing to the size of the SOW, and should
stand out or inches to prevent the
SOW from MASKING the pigs against
the wall.
It will be found convenient to have
the alley gates removable by lifting
out. It is sometimes helpful, also, to
have part or all of the partition fences
removable. All partitions should be
80 to SO inches high
Six by 5 feet is generally found to
be a very satisfactory size for pens,
but if feeding is to be done inside. the
pens will need to be longer in order
to give room to feed and water with
out getting the bed befouled. Very
large soWs, such as are sometimes
kept by breeders. may need more
room, but the producer of pork will
not need a larger pen Small sows
do not need this much room, and 1t

The g change Of life is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and juniors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
inyigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
It has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.-John d.
Archbold, president of the Standard Oil
Company. of New Jersey, was recalled
today by the senatorial committee in
vestigating campaign contributions, and
the probe was again taken up as to the
political activities of the oil trust.
A. H. Plant, of Alabama, president
of the Southern railway, was called

Plant declared he knew of mo con-

This refuted the sworn assertion OF
Senator Dixon that the Southern rail
way had largely backed the Under

After Mr. Archbold had been called
to the stand, Senator Pomerene APP

ATLANTA AVE. GETS
CITY WATER MAIN
DESPITE PROTEST

When the property owners on At
lanta avenue, a street on which there
are but few houses, petitioned the wa
ter board yesterday afternoon for a
main, Mayor VIM admonished the
board that the city should not spend
it's money in laying pipe on vacant
streets when many thickly settled
streets still were without water con-
nections.
1t was called to the attention of the
board that Atlanta avenue has sewers,
curbing and sidewalks. These were
built on the assessment plan. The bond
ordinance also provides that water
mains shall be laid in the street, so
the board ordered the main laid.
On the petition of the officers at
Fort Mcpherson, the board promised
to try to provide city water for the
fort.
