Gruesome Find.

An extraordinary story comes from
Shanghai (China) Of a find by some
railway men at Hardin. A box car adj
dressed to Colonel Bulikoff, who is the
Russian representative at Hailar, was
opened and found to contain apparent
Iy bags of -four and firewood. Under
meath these were found eight caskets,
each one duly labeled, six bearing the
of grand dukes and duchesses
and the other two the name of a priest
and a valet of n of the grand dukes.
To make sure there was no ruse, one
casket was opened and a body re,
vealed. In addition to the names of
the dead there was also written who
had killed them and where. The ques-
ton is being asked who had forward
ed these bodies aid for what reason.
and where they were ultimately des-
tined to be sent. In these days when
railwaymen expect to find hidden away
gold, Jewels and other precious met
ais, to be confronted with caskets CON
tanning murdered persons is indeed a
gruesome and unwelcome find.

Women's Rights In China.

A paternal government in the prov
ince Of Hupeh, China, is e~ndeavoring
by official action to bring the ONE
to order and reason, in the matter of
clothes. "Women and girls are not
permitted TO extraordinary
clothes" runs the official order which
the police have been instructed TO ell
force. 1.-The women's dresses, which
were generally adopted by the Chinese
gentle sex previous TO the first revolu-
ton in 1911. are better suited TO young
women because they are not too short
or too narrow. and they should he
used again" The official order gives
further particulars of the abuses which
1t alleges have taken place by which,
in the matter of clothes, ii is not pos
sible to distinguish the Chinese women
of respectable and good families from
those who are not" But the signiti-
canoe of this solicitude on the part Of
the military governor of Hupeh is
found in the part of the order which
states that the Importance of bearing
and clothes is to be recognized, sin
view of the fact that women are play
ing an important part in modern poll
tics In western countries, and there is
sufficient reason to believe that this
awakening of the gentle sex will soon
be extended to the far East"

SAVES THE LITTLE PIGS
Modern Weather-Tieht Home for

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building work on the farm, for
the readers Of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects

Hog raiserS everywhere are rapidly
recognizing the modern, weather-tight
]hoghouSe as a most profitable invest
ment. Where the SOws are properly
housed they respond with two litterS
of pigs a year instead of one the pigs
are marketable at the time when
prices are highest, and a greater per-
centage Of each litter is brought to
maturity.
The advantage of having the sows
farrOw in the late winter are well
known TO every hog raiser. But TO
have the pigs come along while the
weather is yet cold is Improbable I'M

Herewith is illustrated such a hog
house. 1t is a frame building set on
a concrete foundation and has a ce-
ment floor. This building is "a feet
wide and A. feet long and has pens
for ten sOws and their pigs.
The peculiar shape Of the roof
makes possible "A warm sunny interior.
The house is set so that it extends
east and west and faces the south.
This position gives the windows the
benefits Of the late winter sun, light
entering the lower windows falling on
one row of pens and on the other from
the windows in the roof. The multi
plicity of windows also permits good
ventilation, which is another necessity
in a hoghOuSe. The young pigs are

Useful Carabao.

HAVE ANIMALS SIXTH SENSE7
Beasts Knew That the Great
Wa Was Over.

Frightened by the noises of battle
the wild beasts of East, Central and
West Central Africa went scurrying
north and south, travelling sometimes
hundreds of miles in their fright and
taking refuge in localities entirely new
to them.
But just as the ruins of northern
France have drawn human beings back
to them-men and women who dwelt
there before the German occupation,
home has claimed the wild animals
and most of them are now back In
their native haunts.
How did the wild beast know that
the wal was over?
The elephant, gorilla, giraffe, ante
lOpe, buffalo, ~rhinoceros. lion. leopard
and porcupine are certainly all per-
fectly aware of the fact!
Human beings have their various
of sending news. chief among
these the newspapers, the post and
the telegraph. .
Whatever the method of COmmunica-
ton, the wild animals certainly got
the news quickly.
Peace was no sooner accomplished
than the African natives began TO see
the hOmeward migration of whole
companies of wild beasts through their
territories, animals never familiar
I'm these particular communities and
obviously passing through.
-Four years previously they had
come crashing through the under
brush, bound in an opposite direction.
They were in great haste then and pos
sessed of fear; and pachydermS and
carnivOra travelled together, the age
old war of the jungle forgotten in a
common plight.
Birds may become accustomed TO
the sound of firing, but wild animals
loathe 1t. Fear of strange noises Is
instructive with them. Animals bora
in captivity invariably show this In
stinctive dread. And 1t is q we'll
known fact in geological parks that
apes can be controlled instantly by
the display Of a musket, even when
as far as Is known they have never
seen one spit fire.

Prayed for Cure

Mr.. Herbert NJ. Gessner writes from bis
home in Berlin, N. H.:
i had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. | tried everything for
relief but 1t came back worse than ever.
Last fall | got awfully bad; could only eat

something to cure me. One day | read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me a box at the drug store as | was going
to work at 4 p. m. | took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was

and the sunlight. The heat from the
sows, however, is moist and unless
ventilation Is provided the house will
be damp and chill.
The interior arrangement Of this
hoghouse is shown by the accompany
ing floor plan. Through the center of
the building run a feeding alley. with
the pens on either side. Doors at both
ends permit free access 10 the build
ing. either for taking feed to the hogs
or for removing litter. Each pen is
6 feet 6 inches wide and s feet g
inches deep. The cement floor is COW
cred by a board floor. slightly raised
from the concrete. for a distance
of five feet from each wall. This
board floor. covered with bedding pro-
vides a dry place for the mother and
pigs. Despite the general impression
that hogs are filthy animals, they are
not and will keep the board floor clean
and dry.
In the plan shown, the pens along
the south side of the building are con-
nected with outdoor runs. making the
house disable in summer as well as
winter. The doors of the pens are so
placed as TO provide direct runs TO
each Of the yards.
This sort Of modern hoghouse will
enable hog owners 10 double the num-
Der Of pigs usually raised. and will
make o raising more profitable. The
cost of the building is low. but the in
crease in receipts from the drove are
great.
While il may be a little early TO be
gin now to construct farm buildings
that will not be needed until next
winter. IL Is a wise plan under present
conditions 10 make arrangements for
any contemplated building as far In
advance Of construction as possible.
Contractors everywhere are busy and
material dealers must place their Or.

de-s with manufacturers several
months in advance. This h~oghouse
can be built in the late fall or early
winter, SO long as the concrete floor is
laid before frost comes. The balance
of the building is of lumber and can
be erected at any time.
Nothing raised on the farm is more
profitable than hogs. These animals
bring high prices, the demand on
stantly is growing and with prop,S
housing and care a maximum number
of young pigs a be brought To ma
turity. Health is the prime essential
that makes Tor profitable hog raising
and to be healthy, hogs must be kept
in clean and sanitary quarters.
A hoghouse with a cement floor is
easy TO clean. Where water under
pressure is available the cement floors
can be washed and the litter that is
not gathered up lay the fork carried
out. Sunshine helps a great deal in
preventing diseases, the suns rays be
ing 4 germ killer. The double row of
windows admits sunshine To every
part of the %hoghouse illustrated.
Modern farm buildings of all kinds
are helping TO solve the labOr-shortage
problem that c%Onfronts farmers every
where. Modern buildings, equipped
with modern, labor-saving devices for
doing the work necessary to give the
live stock proper attention make the
work easier and quicker, thus saving
a great deal Of labor.
Hog raiserS will find it is a good in
vestment to build a modern hoghouse
this summer.

Buy Private
Brand Roofing

When you buy an unknown private
brand of roofing you give the dealer, if
he is INSCRIPTIONS, a chance to double
cross you.
In the first place, how do you know
what quality of roofing you are buying?
He may say that it is frst-grade, be-
cause even an expert annot tell the
grade by just looking at it. Our third
grade roofing looks as good as any.
The chances are that you will get a me-
dunn or poor grade of roofing and pay
a first-grade price for it. At least, an
INSCRIPTIONS dealer with an unknown
private brand of roofing can wolS that
on you if he wants to.

Don't Pay a Long Profit

In the second place, how much profit is
the dealer taking on your transaction?
There is nothing to stop his taking a
good, long one if you'll buy. That's
why some dealers would rather sell pri-
vate brands than Certain-teed.
ANY responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed if he plays the game squarely. He
gets a fair profit, but he cannot stretch
it because so many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect
from Certain-teed. 1t is highest quail
ity, guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, &C
cording to weight, and completely
shelters your property. That's a real buy.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain
teed for you quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He
gets it when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell
you at a fair price.
