-I . suffered for years with my

DEVICE 'FOR DRESSING HOGS.
Frame is. Made Similar to That Used
in Derrick for Hay.
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. Mrs. Carrie
Moore, of this place,, says, "I was
afraid to stay by myself, I had head
ache nearly all the time; my , heart
would palpitate, and. my vitality
was very low. When I would lie
down at night 1 had no hope of living
until day. I tried Cardui, and5 now
I feel better than I have for 5 years.
I cannot praise Cardui- enough for
what it did." Are you a woman?

Scotland Teck women know how
the aches and pains that come when
the kidneys fail make li.e a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headache, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell of sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills are for these disorders.
Here's proof of their merit in- a
Scotland Neck woman's words:
Mrs. T. F. Gray, E. Main Street,
Scotland Neck, N. C, says: "My
experience with Doan's Kidney Pills
has convinced me that they are a
remedy of merit. My back and
head ached severely and I had dizzy
spells and other symptoms of kidney
complaint. Finally I procured a
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from
E. T. Whitehead Company's drug
store and it did not take them long
to correct rriy trouble."

A "Sit" that "Bores Square' Holes. '
Bits for boring square holes have
been on' the market for years, but
they are adapted for use only in cut
tiE? into wood. 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 "Law's Delay.
"I understand that you called on the

questioned I,awycr Fuller, now Chief
Justice.
"Yes," answered the witness.
"What did he say?" next demanded
Fniler.
The attorney for the defense jump
ed to his feet and. objected that the
conversation could not be admitted la
the evidence. A half-hour's argument
followed, and the judges retired to
their private room to consider the
point.
An hour later the judges filed into
the court room and announced that
Mr. Fuller might put his question.
"Well, what did the plaintiff say,
Mr. Barnes?"
"He weren't at home, sir," came the
answer without a tremor. Success

Hew An Etiiicr Would Do It.
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

trouble, or money back. They stop
