An excellent method of constructing a hog scaling and hanging outfit is, first, put up three poles 18 feet long, making a derrick similar to one some times used for stacking hay. To do the scalding use a pair of tackle blocks, setting a barrel or scalding vat under the center of the poles and doing the lifting with the tackle. A platform for scraping is of course nec essary. The next step is to set up a revolv ing or turning pole with two cross arms, as shown in the cut. The cross arms should be mortised in, and held firmly in place by bolts, the bottom Keg Dressing Device, of the pole should have an iron pin driven into it, and a hole bored in the crosspiece at the bottom, into which the pin fits, to hold the pole in place as it is turned. A bole is also bored in the upright pole high enough to in sert a stick of hardwood or iron bar to turn the pole so that the arms above swing under the derrick and out again as the hogs are dressed and hung thereon. -The dressed carcass is 'lowered onto one of tle arms from the derrick, the tackle removed, and the hog swung around out of the way. In this way four hogs "are killed, the last one can be left hanging cn the tackle. Selecting Breeding Ewes. See to it that the ewes for breed ing purposes are not thin and emaci ated, for "if one has passed through the feeding season and is in this con ditign there must be something wrong with her. Make sure that there are no broken mouthed or aged ones in your flock; neither should the ewe be too fat. A good frame is essential for the producing of healthy progeny. The open market is the best place to se lect your stock, unless some neighbor can accommodate you with a surplus from his flock. The beginner should never select his ewes without lftlving along a competent judge of sheep who will advise with him as to selections. Sheep Good Property Now. . . Our sheepmen seem -to be feeling good almost everywhere. Good prices for wool, a strong demand for finish ed mutton and away up figures for feeders, along with the present high tariff duties agreed to for some year3 to come, all tend to give stability and promise to a business that is all too apt to be affected by little thing3. Sheepmen can confidently go ahead cow, laying a good foundation to their tmsiness, confident that they cannot make a mistake in putting good money into good rams and good feed and care into the whole flock. The outlook is certainly the best ill around that it has been for years. Horse Sense. A temper under control is an in valuable asset to the stockman. Feeding heavy at night doesn't wake up for a light feed in the morn ing. Feed regularly. Many good horses are ruined by be ing brought in too hot and allowed to stand in a strong draught. The colt which is handled right and carefully trained will never have to be broken, in the sense that word is so often used. Whenever possible clean the horse outside the stables so that the same dirt and germs cannot get on them again. ' Disposing of Old Horses. - It is a much-mooted question as to. what should be done with the old horses. The veriest horse crank alive would hardly advocate keeping all of them, but in the nSme of ordinary, every-day humanity don't keep the faithful friends until past their useful ness, and then let them go for a song to some huckster: Feed for Growing Hogs. Growing pigs require different feed from fattening hogs, though nearly as much of it. A pig should have food that stimulates growth, bone, flesh and muscle forming foods richer In protein than in fats. Milk, shorts, peas, oats and-clover with a slight allowance of corn make a good pig or shoat ration. ! Wisconsin's greatest hog man tells of carrying 60 hogs through the sea son on 10 acres of good clover without grain. They gained little Tn weight but considerable in frame and would have done better witha little grain. Afraid to Stay Alone. . Cherry Valley, Ark.

The tool bores a round hole, while at the" same ti-Tie it cuts ont the corners with a cutfr, which is fed into the hole without turning. Obviously, such a tool will not work in metals, and yet square holes have a wide use in machinery for keys, wrenches, hand 'wheels, etc. The present method of making square holes in metals is either , to punch them iu or cast them, or to drill a round hole and then work it up into the right form with a slotter or shap er. A tool for boring square holes in rretals as easily and almost as quick- Detail cf the New Tool and Diagram Showing Its Operation. ' t iy as a round hole can be bored has recently been devised by Carl Philgus, a German inventor. As described in the Scientific American, the body of the drill has the form, in cross sec tion, of a spherical triangle. The tri; angle is made up of equal arcs, each struck from the intersection of the other two arc3 as a centre. Such a triangle will alawys touch the four side3 of a circumscribed square; and as the triangle is turned, the corners of the triangle will move in a rec tangular path, following the sides of the square.

The editor of the Burlington Junc tion Post goes on record as follows: "At this writing we have no desire to leave this vale-of tears and hurl ourselves upon Abraham's bosom, but if we should desire to do so, , we wouldn'trlean up against a loaded gun and then pull the trigger, as many do. Neither would we eat a solid meal of rough-cn-rats, blow out the gas, drink concentrated lye, sil down in the lap of a buzsaw, smoke cigarettes, or call a Kentuckian a liar or a pcor judge of whiskey. W e would simply get out an edition of our paper in which we would strive to the best of our ability to print the plain, square-toed truth as we understand it, and then calmly await the end." WOMAN'S STOMACH It Causes Much Misery if not Kept in Condition. ' t Many women who would not I oler-" ate anything but a scrupulously clean kitchen continue day in and, day out to suffer from an unclean stomach, where food ferments, 'turns sour and becomes pptrid. It is just as easy for a woman to keep her stomach clean, as to keep her kitchen clean; in fact it is much easier, and doe3 not require hours of toil. - One or two Mi o-na stomach lab lets after each meal will in a short time thoroughly clean and renovate the most distressed stomach. They will do more; they will put strength and energy into -the wa'ls of the stomach, and cause the juices of di gestion to flow freely, so that all food will promptly digest. Women; keep your stomach clean and free from fermenting food,-and you will find that other ailments such as nausea, biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, constipation 2nd palpitation of the heart will disappear. E. T. Whitehead Company and. druggists everywhere sell Mi-o-na stomach tablets for only 50 cents a large box. They are guaranteed to cure - indigestion or any stomach trouble, or money back.
