IN the districts about Milford
there is a belief and a knowledge,
ifthe facts could be gotten in shape
for court of justice, that money
was used in liberal quantities to
get the result which followed the
elections of last November. The
fact is plain to those who know
anything about the districts, that
the workers were well informed as

CONVENIENT HOG COTS
Animal Must Have Ample Protec-
tion From Rain and Cold.
Corn and Other Feeds Make Them
Grow, But Dampness Takes Off
Weight Almost as Fast as Put
On-House Simple Affair.

It is a great mistake and poor bust-
ness management to raise hogs, feed
them high priced corn and then al
low them to be in the rain and cold
Some farmers think that because a
hog is hog it can get along with
any kind of shelter or with no shell
ter at ALL The corn and other feeds
you give may make them grow, but
dampness will take off weight almost
as fast as it is put on. With only a
small amount Of money spent for
lumber and roofing for building COM
Portable houses, sows, pigs and ma
ture hogs will bring in larger profits
in the hog business. Hogs of all
kinds like cool shade, and cool places
for wallowing and sleeping during the
warmer months.
The efficient hog house Is simple
affair, and can be built by anyone
with only a small cash outlay. 1t
need not be more than four feet high
in the rear and slightly more in the
front to allow slope for the roof. The
sides should be short. The lumber
for them will not cost much, but it
should be of good material to keep out
rains and winds. Probably the best
roof for hog houses is that Of heavy
felt. This is to be laid on tight fitting
or matched boards. Galvanized iron
also makes a good roof, and is to be
commended for the movable houses.
When iron of any kind is used for the
roof it should be laid on solid boards,
as iron is very hot in summer when
the sun shines, and is cold in winter.
Since a hog house need not be too
large the farmer who keeps several
sows and is growing a large number
of pigs each year should have half
dozen or more of these houses on the
farm and in convenient places. Some
farmers have all their hog houses
near the barn and other buildings
but do not think this is a good pfac
tice. Hogs of different ages and sizes
will not do we'll in one herd. says a
writer in an exchange They should
be separated into small herds, accord
ing to their ages and conditions. Sows
and growing pigs should not be al
lowed to be on the same lot with fat
tening hogs. The excessive corn diet
is not good for their growth and pro
duction, and with large fattening hogs
the smaller ones will be crowded and
injured Too many hogs in one per
are more apt to contract disease thar
when they are put into several lots
| and smaller punches.
When the farm is divided into small
| fields and each field is fenced hos
| tight it will pay to have at least one
hog house In each field, so that it car
be pastured with hogs at some time
each year, thus saving and turning tt
! good account all the waste forage.

CONTROL OF -coRN-EAR WORM
Insect Eats It's Way Along Within
Husk, Devouring Young and Ten
der Kernels and Silk.
nv w o.KANEl

(By w. c. O'KANE.)
One of the encouraging things that
turn up occasionally in the eternal
warfare against insect pests is the fact
that some remedy or other that is
recommended is also an ordinary fea-
ture of good farm practice. 1t Is that
way with fall blowing. Several trou-
blesome insects of field and garden
happen to be in such location in the
late fall that we can reach them by
stirring the soil. One or two Of them
can be fought in almost no other way.
The pest that hits the mark most
closely is the corn ear worm. When
infesting corn It eats its way along
within the husk devouring the young
and tender kernels and silk. As Ii
works its way down into the ground
the worm fills the hole behind 1t with
soil. But once at depth Of three OF
four inches it turns and makes short
open gallery, part way to the surface

ChangeabIe Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DR.. Hartman. of Columbus, Ohio,
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes, it is the climate. not the germs.
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present. to be sure,
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, q changeable
climate, is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms I'm
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east. subjecting millions of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands OF
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well of
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia.
or chronic catarrh, or, bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality. this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some of us must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself.
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
If the children, indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
II the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
a cold, few doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system 1t keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather OF
winter.

KEEP AWAY SQUASH ENEMIES
Kerosene Emulsion VIII Drive Bugs

Can Be Hand-kiIled.

To keep bugs away from the young
plants, cover the hills not infested
with wire netting, burying al edges
under the soil, else they viii get un-

The squash is subject to flee beetles
and yellow-and-b lack-striped bugs and
these do not like clean cultivation.
So burn all, rubbish after getting off

Better plant more seed than are
