readily transferred from one pen to an
other. The pens are also equipped
with removable partitions so that the
size Of the various pens can be
changed readily. The small pen doors
that lead out into the yard can be
closed so as to be almost alright. The
house can thus be kept warm in very
cold weather. The warmth of the
hogs will keep the temperature almost
uniform all the time. Ventilation is
taken care of by the two small venti-
lators placed on the roof, one at each

riers are both handled on one track
that runs down between the two rows

work in one alley, which simplihes
the handling of the work to a large
extent.
The fences that divide up the out
side pens are placed two inches above
the concrete, so that the cleaning can
be taken care Of The yard can be
,placed on slight slope and the ma

scraped toward the low corner. A pit
can be dug for the manure spreader
at this corner so that the loading will
be easy or itfcan be driven up to the
corner and filled in the usual way.
Hogs should be kept out of doors
as much as possible, SO that the hog

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment: channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician Of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce, of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for

Special feeding devices have to be
developed for hogs. They are not like
other farm animals, as the well-bred
hogs do not have long necks or noses
and cannot reach for their feed the
way horses and cattle do. A special
device is used in between the stalls In
order to make hay available for feed
ing. This is hay rack with hinged
sides. When the side is pushed in the
supply of hay is cut off and when
the slide falls back to its original po-
sition the nay once more falls down
within reach. This arrangement pre-
vents the hogs from scattering the
hay around the way they generally do.

you will see that their noses nearly

VEINS Can BE REDUCED

IF you or any relative or friend Is
worried because of varicose veins, or
punches, the best advice that anyone
in this world can give Is to get pre-

two ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (ful
strength) and apply night and morning
to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon
smaller and the treatment should be
continued until the veins are of normal
SIZE So penetrating and powerful is

Place cards, toasts, etc.
What plates to use for each course.
What other plates, dishes, etc, for
the food.
How the food should be dressed.
What tablecloth, napkins, center
piece, etc.
Have everything handy.
When to clean silver and get things
ready.
The instructions to the maid.
Odds and ends to be DONE
