CONVENIENT HOGHOUSE.

Some Idea* Which Will Be Uwfnl t» Breeders of Hon.

To raise good hogs and make pork making, profitable it is essential that tb* buildings and appliances be well >aiw ranged and kept in good order. No mod hole with a few rails.around it and boom boards over one corner will serve thtt purpose. The building for a HmftstiF number of hogs should be 86 by 12, with a passageway 4 feet wide along out side, and it should be divided into ribs apartments, each 6 by 8, which commmiir

cat c with one another by means of ■Hflh^p doors, and with the outside by either hanging doors or doors opening out ward. The partitions should be solid and about 3 feet high. A plan of such a building ia shown at Fig. 1. .., -^ For a larger number of hogs tod bi likling may be enlarged proportionally, and if desirable a corncrib may be built vlong the front to facilitate feeding. The entire building should be raised off the ground about 2J^ feet and bridges' should lead to the running ground is the rear. There is nothing more annoying ia hog raising than the usual rush and scramble for the monopolization of the trough, by which means the weaker animals are always crowded back, and the runt always remains a runt. Fig. 2 shows a very good < contrivance for preventing this, insuring "eqSST rights" to all, and as the owner of such a pen remarked, "It is an excellent dt»

vice for teaching a hog good manners.* It is a solidly made swing door, reaching^ across the front of each division. Tho upper crosspiece to which th&boards an: nailed is a scantling cut round at the) ends so as to work freely in a 2-inck > hole. This door, when unconfined, savings directly over the center of -#• trough. The trough, A, Fig. §, is mad* of \\i by 10-inch hard wood material , and is fitted closely between the stauch ions which support the roof, while rest* iug on the end board is a somewhat ' £"--meular shaped board, B, which serve* aiid closes an opening-«Slj!^3^~J*ou£« wise be made by drawing the BwttffWtt?-. forward. • The swing door, Fig. 2, is supported, at one end by a solid block, A, firmly nailed to the upright, while at the other end the block is in two sections, the lower part only being made solid,, the upper part being fastened to the stanchion by means of a coaca screw, Shis part is mademoYable Andoantepnshn ed aside as fat Fig. 2. In taa> center of th« swinging door to a strong wooden, bolt, B, who** constrnctionjnay.. be readily seen from the design. This to made to work neatly but easily, and is shot into a corresponding hole in either side of the trough, thus retaining the door in the desired position. An iron handle to attached by means of which the bolt lit worked, while at the same time it serres to draw the door backward or forward* The door is pushed back and bolted, leaving the trough dear as at O, Fig, ft When in this position the slops may be> poured in from the passageway without even the slightest annoyance from the hogs inside. It is then drawn-forward as at D and the greedy animals take possession. . • ■ ■' ■'< 1 The fact that the entire building should be raised off the ground will ad mit of an elevated platform, Kg. 4»

placed at one end of the honae. # should be substantially mad« and have a gate, A, at one side. .The gate \mn i* hook and when not in uM is folded Wft and fastened to a staple in the "Walt - : To remove hqg« from the penolOM IM, gate and back th« wagon with it* tew end squarely against the end of Ja* platform. The movable Mock, B, Fig . 2, is then pushed aside and the.awinging door is then easily removed. ose hoff may then, without tne least difficulty. be driven along the passage and directly into the wagon with not on^tenth th» vexation of loading from an open penv— James M. Sbull in Rural New Yorker. ■

Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, tnank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; it was bo bad at times that it quite exhausted me.
