"WHAT'S THE MATTER?"

A Hunsrcusltqiiry lata tiis Qaari!oai Fa!t F.Ldicga cf the Paiiai, Dllverd to the Indians Democratic Edl. torial Association Recently Convcuctl t Lake SXaxlnkackee. The following lines were written by C1. J. IJ. ilajnaid, of the Sentinel, for the sale entertainment of the editor of Indiana at their late semi-annual gathering .t Lake Maxinkuckee. They were not originally intended for publication and only appeif row in answer to requests received froja prominent Democrats in Indiana and elsewhere that the unpretentious etfjrt should be reproduced in this paper: Mr. President: I read the program And ask mjse'l, la there a msn, From Maxniknckee to Yuba Dam, "Who can catch on, how ere Intense His thought, the real meaning Of this teeming Interrogation? Which may include Indiana or all creation. Mr. President: "What's the matter? I reply: So far as can be seen by the naked eje From the solid eaith to the cerulean sky. Things are lovely. The godaess of wheat and curn, ?e, cats and barley and Karden track. Se'er since the day that she was bom Has Ifidiaaa had better lack. There's food and raiment and work for all ; cruse nist3 for man's dejection ; Ho let os tben roll on the ball For victory at the next election. JIr. President : What's the mattei ? I swear by the old law-giver, Moses, That 1 can't make a diagnosis From the center to the border To find out wbat is oat ot order. What's the matter with what? I ask; When ehall I be?in the task Of telling this Association "What's the matter with the nation? Mr. President: What's the matter? Weie I & pitcher and you a bitter. Or were I a tailor and you a hatter? Don't you see. A 'twixt tweedledum ard tweadledee, We conld arrive at the conclusion, That to organize conf uaion, Y'ould help along oar trade or tame And gite U3 about a pvand of fame. Or, Ilr. Presid nt : Were yoa a Committee of Oüe Hundred, YTith old Bill Henderson for head tr tail. How easy to believe somebody'd blundered And oLght to go forthwith to jail! In that case ttiere would be a clatter And, ifl shculd,a8kyou, what's tha rx alter, You'd doubtless say, there's crucifixion For some one, regardless of j arisiiction. Mr. Fret ident: "What's the matter? Ah, let me tee! Are tome less harpythan they ought to te Eecause the office-bearing tree. Didn't produce sutfic eat fru;t To go round? Fate's stern decree Baa made many a man sad and mate, And he has thought old Fate a brute. It was ever thus. It mast be so As long as tides shall ebb and How. For while there are more pegs than holes, Some pegs will have to Wiit fcr chances, And though the fact may fret our ton's, The fact somewhat the fun enhac js. ilr. President: In looking over Euch documents as I have at hand, I can't fiad what's the matter with G rover, If I were to be Ainaterdarned. Perhaps he's made some mistakes, Perhaps ccald travelled at greater speed, Perbaps should have used finer toothed rakes, In clearing out the rascally breed Of Republican employes. Hare it so, if you pliaw, But remember while the clouds weep rain. If It were not Graver, 'twould ba Jas. G. BlaiDe. Yes, Jas. G, Blaise, he took the stump, To be elected president, But alas for him, the bad muswnr.'p Didnt emulate Maine when it went for Kent, Aad Jas. G. Blaise has a right to complain. Arid ask himself again and again, What's the matter with the g. o. p., "When Grover ii president instead of me?' Mr. President: "What's the matter? What's the matter with what? Again I ask, what's the matter with who? Is there any scheme or plot Werth kicking up any hullabaloo? Here are Democrats, with brain and pen. And a big campaign is now in sigh.. What's the matter? I ask agiin, ' Are tiny cot ready for the fight? "United we stand," is ancient lore, "Divided we fall," is just as old. Go view the wreck upon the siore The reason why, need not be toll Faction is failure, we know it well. Faction sounds the funeral knell Of any party united westaud. Democrats may rule this land, If harmony, with a big H prevails; Then favorirg winds will fill the sails Of our proud old ship: she'll make the port, And Democrats will bold the fort. Mr. President: Wbat'a the matter with the battle Mags, The old Confederate tattered re, For which nobody cares and nobody brags? They float no more o'er land or sea; They'll float no more when battles rage; They are just as dead as dead can be; They'll only live on history's pa? When Tattle and Falrchild and all their clan Won't be worth a tinker's dam. The veterans in gray and the veterans in blue. Forging each other as brave men do, Meet each otherwhere once they Tied In capturipg flags, and where thousands Allied. Around one flag they rally now, 2?or care they what becomes o others To the stars and stripes they gladly bow, And yeterans of the blue and gray are brothers. " - Mr. President: What'i the matter with soldier pensioners? Where's an opening for dissensions? And why question the intentions Of the President? What be meant? y" What intent Influenced him wben he sent Certain bills away without his consent? Coming down to facts, Pelatlnz to private, acta, " . J Cleveland's record .will stand th3 test. And from Grant to Arthnr 'tis the best, , Ever made. Hit reccj-1 gWwi . Notwithstanding his vetoes. -With friendship for the men who fought, "Who of country and duty only Ihpught Jn Cleveland such men have a friend, Who'll stick to them to the end CI hla-administration, Ja rpite of threats cf defamation;

afr.rmldput: What's the matter with Robertson, The Beoublican son of a gun, Who thought that hs weighed a ton, ALd could play the devil with The Senate and A. G. Smith When he sought to take his sewt As President ot tte Senate, E'oiger throwed him fnlly twenty feet Ana in If ss than half a minute Robertson saw that his bread and meat Didn't lie n that direction, And he beat A safe retreat From A. G. Smith's jurisdiction What's the matter with Robertson is easy to see And the tame Is true of the G. O. P. Mr. President: What's the matter? forsooth. We are admonished to tell the truth, And fearing an avenging rod, To tell the whole truth, S3 help us God. Do you remember what a flatter, In talking about iDsane asylum batter, Was created? The Foulk committee looked into a tab. And saw one maggot now comes the rub Thy bad the basis of trath for a lie, And the devil likes that sort of a thing, And the Foulk committee Bald wa'll multiply Maggots enough to make all hell ring. With our talents for lying, one maat shell be As the leaves of the forest, or drops of the 68 And the lie shall fly all over the state Tb&t every day the insane people ate Millonsot maggots. And the lie did go From Lake Michigan to the OhioIt bnrtthe Democratic party some Bat didn't elect Ben Harrison. Mr. President: What's the matter We have often been told

Tfcat words fitly epjkea Ate like apples of silver in pictures of gold A precious token That a man's head Is levelThat he's not in league with bad men nor the devil, And surely when we are talking to friends When every heart beats hfch for sucsew, When friendship with fealty in harcuoay bleue's, Then words fitly spoken always po3sess A power and a charm That give power to oar faith and strength to tte arm, What then, mav I ask, should ba our words (Like apples of silver and pictures of gold) To flah 'long the lines like Highland chief swords When our bright battle banner to the bretz is unfurled. "United we wiu" This shibboleth shout, As certain as rivers flow to the sea, Snail put the It-publican party to rout And win for our party a grand victory. Mr. President: What's the matter With the New York Hau .' Aid what's the matter with Brick Pomeroy'b Uoon? Don'ithty 6ay tbe work's beun That forever Wittes Clevtland s doom? In the majesty of their might They knock Grover higher than Gilroy's kite. 8:111. Frsnkie and Grover At red top are in clover, And remember, moreover, That the tame happy conditions, Tbe ssme blessed fruitions, Are true of the people From ocean to ocean. Thus I thir.k it s plain Trat there's a wlde-spresdicg notion t Ttat Grover will be nominated , And elected again. Mr. President: What's the matter? Do j ou know Wbat it is to breakfast, dine and sup on crow ? Did you ever eat ciow fried. Boiled, baked, Btewed or raw? if 8, don't joa wish yod'd died Before ycur political stomach asked the question Why you forced crow upon it for digestion? Well, do you ask me what's the matter with crow? I swear by all the dishes, From chicken fiiens to the beet of fishes, That I don't know. But had I such gushers as Kokomo. I'd bet 40.000,000 cubic feet of gas If son ebody isn't careful 'twill come te to pass, That a number of editors we know Will be required to dine and lunch on crow. Mr. President: What's the matter? In our every-day life, Where each has his share of labor and strife, May I tay a word for sweetheart and wife? For the homes of our loves, Where words are as gentle as the cooing of doves? Ah! I catch the response Thankee! And fcr the nonce Will play the role of the Yankee And ask for three cheers For Grover and Frsnkie For to me it appears That whatever we Bay of vetoing bills Or cf other political ills, That Grover did well, Whether for love or for pelf, When he added a better half to himself. ON THE WING. Rrgcrs City, Mich., boasts of an egg w'.ih a tail. Abcui one thousand good, large watermelons make a carload. The Michigan peach crop is commencing to ripen. It will be large. Lake Weir, Fla., is credited with having the largest lemon grove in the world. Jemes Preston, ninety-two years old, is still working in a mine in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. He has his third wife, and is the father of an even three dozen children. A fight between a hen and a rabbit has been among tbe events of the week at Bay City. After two rounds tbe fowl failed to come to tbe scratch, and the fight was pronounced won by a hare. In 1S87 T. M. Borland, of Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, p'.arted one grain of Australian wheat obtained at the Centennial Exposition. The product from it this year amounts to sixty bushels. Flint, Mich., young ladies are reviving the baby stare, which means to taki a square, open-eyed look at everything, men included. The News of that place advises the girl's mothers to revive the oldfashioned baby spank. A lady who was resorting at Petoskey, Mich., put phosphorus on her bunion tbe other sight and retired. In the uight the Jiusband "spied tbe slowing thing, aud sizing it np for a fire-fly banged it with tha bootjack. She never speaks to htm now without pnnchln bim with the cratch which she has since been obliged to wear. Mrs. S. A Crane, of St. Joseph, Mo., sat In her window lc the fourth story of her house tbe other night in order to get a breath ot fresh air. She dropped asleep and fell cut of tha window, and when picked up from the ground, seventy feet below was found to have sustained no more serious injury than the breaking of her toes. A citizen of Cincinnati thought that he had a sure fortune in a kitten which had five heads, five tails, ten fore legs, and five hied legs. He also thought that it ought to have about forty five lives and was good for many years, but after a brief career of fifteen days the little monstrosity died, the result of too much handling by the 'curious. ... Six Scotch bailies came to present an ad dress of congratulation to Victoria. They

ssked what they had to do on entering the Queen's presence, and were told they should kids hands. Thereupon Bailie No. 1, as he solemnly stalked past the throne, raised his hand to hij mouth ana blew Her Majesty a kiss. The remaining five followed suit, till the queen had a fit of the heartiest laughter she has enjoyed for a long time. In Algeria there to a small stream which the chemistry of nature has converted xnto true ink. It is formed by the union of two rivulets, one of which is very strongly Impregnated with iron, while the o'.her, meanderitg through a peat marsh, imbibes eallic acid, another ingredient in tha for

mation ot ink. Letters and other manascript matters are satisfactorily written with this singular natural compound of iron and gtllic acid. The priest of Canlcattl, a large town fn the province of Girgenti, Sicily, recently caused to appear beside him ia the palpit a young man whose face was blackel. whose head was furnished with two lag horns, and who ha I a long tall from tue end of which crackers went oil". The priest informed the flock that this was ths devil, and a great panic ensued. Women an 1 children piesent at this unseemly comedy were injund in the crush. Fatrlck Prince, an old colored man, who for eighteen years past blacked boots at the Kbbitt House, Washington, died on Monday from the effects of the heat. Daring the war he served noMy as a soldier, and fought m nearly all of the leallng battles. He had scars all over him, which he looked upon with great pride. A few days ago one of the clerks gave him a week's wages in advance, and told the old man to go to his old home m Frederick county, Maryiani, and visit tbe scenes of his early childhood. A resident of Rocton, 111., was driving to the creamery the other day when his team became frightened aud ran away. The horses were rather high-strung animals, and were only arrested after they had got tired and had covered eight or ten miles. When the owner came up to the placa where the runaways had been stopped he was surprised to find that the cream in the wagon had been converted into a prims qaality of butttr that only needed salting and the finishing touches to make itrjady for the table or market. Speaking of the death of his uncle, William Gibson, who was one .of Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad," a Philadelphia man says: "Uncie said be did not like Mark very well; that he was coar-e and would ßwear. Wtea uy uncle and wife were gettiDg a photograph taken by an ancieat pyramid, Mark took iL on himself to hire a dirty band cf Bsdouin Araos to wlk in oa the background of the picture. Uacle got rngry, and drove Mark and then away. He said be hal often siace regretted tha. he did not leave them th.re, as it would have been a very natural fitting to that kind of a picture." .

A queer s'ory is toM in CTinec'lou with the rec:nt death cf Mrs. Pjtter, of near Marlette, Mich., and the subsequent dicovery of her ra mains. The o'd Itdy livd with ber son six miles from Marlette, and wandered from home about, three months ago. Large numbers of men scoured the wco'-'s for eeveral days in search of her, but without avail, and it was decided a few days ago, as a last resort, to try what a clairvoyant could do. The result haa furnished a theme of conversation for that part of tbe country that will last for sometime Mrs. George Smith, a clairvoyant of St. Clair, was applied to. The lady etated that the lost woman's body would be found in the woods three-fourths of a mile from home; described the locality exactly and the condition of the woods leaiing to it; that the lost woman had torn off her clothing; that her nude body would bs found by a lone log; that it lay on its right Bide that before they reached it they would fiad her sbawl, and farther on a shoe, and that they would find her stockings on a pole near by. The way described led through a cat-tail swamp so dense as to be amost Impassable. The shawl, the shoe, the stockings, and the body were found exactly as she said thy would be, and the body lay on the rigbt side. The Oldest Man On Karth. I Laredo (Tex.) Letter to the St. Louis GiobeCemocrat. James James, a negro, und citizen of the United States, who resides at Santa Kosa, Mexico, is prooably the oldest man on earth. He was born nar Dorchester, S. C, in 1752, and while an infant was removed to Medway River, Ga., in the same year that Franklin brought down electricity from the thunder-clouds. In 1772 there wes quite an immigration into South Carolina, and his master, James James (fro it whom he takes his name), moved nar Charleston, S. C, in company with a na-n-ber of his neighbors. Oa Jane 4, 1770. when twenty-four yars ot az, a large British fleet, under Sir Peter Parker, arrived off Charleston. The clttzn3 had erected a palmetto-wood fort on Sullivan's Island, with twentysix guns, manned- by five hundred troop?, under Colonel Moultrie, and on June 25 tbe British made au atteck by land and water, and were compelled to withdraw after a ten hours' conflict. It was ?nring this fight that Sargeant Jasper distinguished himself by replacing tbe flag, which bai been sh"t away upon tbe bastion, on a new staff His master, James James, manned one of the gnus in this fight, and Jim, tne subject of this sketch, and four other slaves were employed around the fort as general laborers. Jim followed his ms!r throughout tbe war atd was with Gan. MoaHrie at Port Royal, 8. C, February 3, 1777, when Moultrie defeated the combined British forces of Prevost and Campbell. His master was surrendered by General Lincoln at Charleston, S. C, on February 12, 17S0, to tbe British forces, and this ends Jim's military career. He remembers the rejoicing in 1702 throughout the country in cons qaenceof Washington's election to the Presidency, he then being forty years of age. In this year his first master died, age about sixty years. Jim then became property of the Maree Henry" (Henry James) owning large estates aud about thirty slaves near Charleston. On account of having raised "Mane Henry," Jim was a special favorite with his master, and was allowed to do as t chose. His second master, Henry, died in 1815, about fifty-five years of age, and Jim, now sixty-three years of age, became the property of James James, Henry's se ond son. In 1833 the railroad from Charleston to Savannah was completed, then the longest railroad in the world, and Jim, with his mister, took a trip over the road, and was shown special favors on account of his age, sew eighty-one. James James wis ten years ot . age at his : father's death, and when he became of age Inherited large estates, slave, etc, among whom were "old Uncle Jim" and his family. James James lived in South Carolina until 1855, when be moved'to Taxas with all his slaves. James desired that all his slaves should be free at his death, and in 1853 moved into Mexico, so 'hat they could be free before his death. James returned to the United States and died in Texas, and in 18C5. after there were no longer slaves in the United States, Uncle Jlm i children and grand-

children returned to the United States Five years ago, at the age of one hundred and thirty, Jim could do light chores, but subsisted mostly by contributions from the citizens; but for the past two years, not being able to walk, he remains for the most part in his little jacal, his wants being supplied by generous neighbors. The rheumatism in his legs prevents him from walk

ing, but yet he has sufficient strength in his arms to draz himself a short distance fifty yards or more and redily took a po3itlon cu the outside of his cabin to enable the Globe Democrat correspondent to make his photograph. MARRIED AT MIDNIGHT. Aa Uncommon Sight oa the Platform ofi Follmaa Sleeper. The unco ü vent lonai, if not romantic, wedding which took place on the Northern Tacific train at Rithdrnm Saaday evening w 8 a ''picnic" for tbe pasenpfrs. Mr. W. H. Broome, from New York, who came out to superintend the pyrotechnic display in Portland on the Fourth, was a rasseoeer, and cave fall de tails cf the weddine. The bride is Mrs. A. A. Mitchell of Minneapolis, aged about thirty-five. The groom is Mr. B. F. Back, a well to-do grocer of Spokane Falls, where he has lived about a year. He is about fifty veais old. They made each other's acquaintance several years ago in MaduoD, Wis. Each moved to Minne apolis. About the middle of this month Mrs. Mitchell secured a divorce from her husband, and on Thursday of list weak started West to meet her new husband, takirg passage in tbe Pullman Bleeoer Dickson, under command of Condictor George Carter. There were six through lady passengers and a dozen or more gaat le rnen, among them Mr. tr. t,. Rice, s a pen atecdent of the Pullman Car Company at Et. Paul. 'the train waa due at Rathdram about 2 p. m., but did not arrive until miiaig at. Mr. Buck intended to be married on the train in Washington Territory. ia3t after the train had croosed the Idaho lin. and tad taken the Rev. Mr. Bebe, of Spokane Fall., along to perform the ceremony. While he was wailing at Kathdram for tbe relayed train he decided to be married in Idaho, atd fortunately found a justice of the teace. Under the laws of Idaho no license is necessary. Tbe train stops for water at Ratudrum. Mr. Buck hurried into tbe car, found the bride waiting daspite the late hour, led her to the rear plat form of the Pullman, and there they were married, lhe couple stood at each side ot the door, the equire in front of them, and the two ofhcidl witnesses, Paul F. iloaei and Ned Rice, iust inside the car. Near ttem stood a Scotch missionary, en route to Alaska. The justice, a good-natured little man, tilled hi h baton the back of his head, took out a lead pencil, and sort ot marking time with it as a conductor does with a baton, began: Please join t ands." Addressing groom: "Do yon take this woman to be your law ful wife?" Groom: I Jo. Adressins cride: "Do you take this man to be your lawful huand Bride: I do. Addressing both: "Then u?ior tbe authority conferred oa me ry tbe lerrltory ot Idaho, 1 pronouace you husband aud wife, aud what God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Then, fearirg tbe train would start off with him, he stepped off the car to the station platform, aud called out in the darkness to jJr. luck: "ill sign these papers and send them down on to-morrow's train. Tbe groom called him back and hande l him a coin. Tbe to aire looked at in, re turned thanks, and exclaimed, "I'll set it up Hoe for the boys on this." The Scotch missionary wes almost dumb with astonishment. Recovering his speech he said to Mr. Rice: "Mon, Is this legal? Da they do things laak that in this kcontrv?" Mr. Rice assured him that this celemony was strictly legal, and that it took no more time to bang and bury a man in Idaho. Mr. Rice weot to his wife's berth, awoke her, whispering so it could be heard to the further end of the car: "Been a weddin'; weddin' on the train." Mrs. Rice, half awake, half asleep, turned over, tryiDg to collect her scattered senses, muttering.: "Eh? what? wedding? who?" Then in a jerky, exasperating way which a person wide awake could scarcely under stand, ha told about the episode which bad just occurred on the platform. To is waa heard by Mrs. A. and her sister, Mrs. S , two California ladies who occupied the sec tion opposite Mis. Rice's. Finally Mra. Rice, thoroughly nervous and excite! at the manner of her husband's recital of the story, asked appealingly: "Now, Ned, do sit down; sit down quiet ly and calmly, and tell It all over and tell it slowly." He did so, the two California ladies with heads stack oat through the portier shoeing a'tenttyj listene-s. In a few minutes all the ladies in the car had made themselves presentable. Tue bride and groom, who had been chatting with some gentlemen in the smoking-room, now came into tbe car ana received conrratulations at all hands. Mrs. Buck apol ogized to the ladies, saying she expected to be married at 2 in tbe afternoon, and if tte train had not been late all of them could have witnessed the ceremony. Then she threw off her duster and, standing up, as sea : "How do you like my dress? I've bid it on rince 5 o'clock this morning." It was a rich brown silk with a profusion of white Isce about the.neck and sleeves. She wore fawn-colored kid gloves. The books which the bride read on the trip out were "Tan gled Ltee," "Under a Shadow," -Wooed and Married" and "Lost and Won." Portlend Oregonlan.

mUtd him down to see if tiers was any more reading matter on de uader side." Th Hjc aod tfl House. PTS Correpondetce Countiy Gentleman. A toed hoe-house or houses if many hogs are reared on the farra -can net well be dispensed with on any farm. I have built six for my own use since I hrst began farming, and think that in the latter-built ores 1 have combined convenience and economy, and will tell you what kind of a hop-hous j I like and would build. The Hrst hoz-bouses I built were made 12 feet wide, but I have now had four that were 8 feet wide, and I lied this width ample to accommodate as many hogs as can eat at the trough, and so I recommend a house of this width. It is sometimes desirable to move a house a short distance, and so I usually make them xlG feet, and find that three men can roll one of them from 50 to 100 feet in a few hours if it is thought bst to change the location. A house 8ilG feet will accommodate from twelve to fifteen store ho?s through the winter, and is large enough to fatten ten large hogs ic. Taebill of lumber for a house cf this size, built as I direct, is as follows : FeetTwo sills. 6 by 6 in aud R ft long. 4s Five joists, 2 by 10 in and 10 it long ..J3l Hoor aad UniDg 210 tourcotuer posis, 4 by 4 lu 21 laics and tail ties 50 Nine raltcis, 2 by 4 in and 9 It lOLg 54 Siding, inch boards ..'"16 Sheathing .U0 Total s mount of lumber required 953 Th!s, at $1.75 per 100 feet, will cost $1; 73, to which add 1,000 shingles at $3 75, and $1 for nails and hinges, and it brings the total cost of material for the house to f 21 4S. The farmer, if he will follow my directions, need not employ a carpenter t3 build such a house, and two hands can complete one in two days or less. Atter the lounCatiou is ready which may bekcatt posts set well in tha sroaad, bowlde s, cr ma?onry if preferred place your short sills across the ends and level them, and then set tbe door joists on the tills, so that lhe two outside ones will come exactly to the end3 of the sills. Bridge tbe joist in the center, and then lay the floor. A floor of inch lumber, laid doable, is much better than one of twoinch planks, and will cost less, for the lining can be laid with cracks three or four inches wide. After the floor is laid, cut your posts feet high for the rear and for the front. Saw them perfectly squaie at both ends; tet them up at the coiners, and fasten them down by what toe carpenters call "tee-nailing;" thi n spike a 2x4 .studding to the tops, front and rear. Fora plate, put up jour two end rafters, setdr them exactly Hash with the sills, so thai the weathboarding will Ix.1 nailed to tbe sill at tbe botto.n and the rafter at the top. You will need one run of nail-ties, which can be sbip-lappsd to the posts, and wben these are up ytu are ready to cover the building. Use siding 14 feet long for covering it, and it will cut one lergth for the front and one for the rear. The roof of this house Biopes but one way, and it is best to have t ie front or hjgh part of the roof toward either the west or the south. If the roof is made to prcject a little and finished with a light cornice, it will present quite a good appearance. Make a good trough aud fasten it securely. I have never found anything better than a good V-trongh ; the front of it should be of two-inch lumber, but the back part, which comes against the side of the buildin p. may be ote inch. It is next to impos sible to keep nogs clean and the hou33 free from bfld odors if they are confined to a single floor; but by making an outside pen with a board floor, from twelve to eighteen inches lower than the feeding floor, and keepicg it always supplied with an absorbent. I Lave no difficulty in keeping my hcg-lousesfrom beconiir.g malodorous. So I alwajs raise the floor of the main house, and then lay a ilocr of nearly ths same size, either at the rear or one end ot the house. As this floor need not be laid double, it will take but 128 reet of lumber to make it, and it can rest on any cheap old scantllrgs throws fiat online ground for mudsills. Inclose it with a substantial fence, made without cracks, and furnish the Jiogj tcrne old straw or corn fodder as often ae they require it, and they will enjoy work; ing it over and will shred it up and make pood manure of it sooner than any other fltock. The bogs will sometimes keep the niaia house clean themselves, bat if they do not it is easy to clean it out and throw it into the outside pen. This outside pen should be so located that a wagon can be driven or backed up to it easily to clean it out, as if will need to be emptied frequently, tnd it it is placed at the end of tbe bouse instead of tne rear, you should use sills sixteen feet long and joists eight feet, so as to have the floor boards run lengthwise of the house, as it will be much easier to clean it out as the manure can be scraped lengthwise of tbe boards than if the shovel mast run across them. Every hog-house of this size should be provided with a moveable partition, so that it can be divided into two parts wben dasired, as an apartment eight feet square is large enough for a sow to farrow in. Two short posts, two by four inches, can be set up, front and rear, and just far enough apart so that an inch board can be dropped between tbem, and three boards, a foot wide will make the partition. To prevent hegs from lifting them out, bore a half le-ch hole just above tbe top board in odo of tbe posts, at each end, and put in a stout pin. If it is desired to rave room for corn above, use longer posts, say twelve leet for the front and nine for the rear, and use two by six lumber for nail ties and two by eight joist, cross wise of the building, to suppoit the upper floor. This will give rocro, at a very small expense, to stare abr ut one hundred bushels of corn above the hogs. If but one bog-boae is built it should be located adjoining the barnyard, so that the hefs csn be let out at pleasure to work over the manure, as hogs in the barnyard, at the proper lime, are of great advantage to the manure, but it is not safe to keep them there with horses and cattle, aa they are in danger of being crippled. I prefer to harg doors for a hog house, with the hinges at the top, so that in opening them you turn them np out of the way of the hogs, es ii swung around like a common door, tbe hogs will run against them and often break the binges. Perhaps some of my readers will think such a bog-house too cheap, and build of too light material, but please remember that in a small building like this every board is a brace, and there Is no need for beavy timber. My oldest honse has been built twenty years, and I have removed the floor once at an expense of about $2, ard the from seems as substantial as when first built. I have seen heg bouses mads of beavy timber and everything mortised and put together as stroag as wonld be needed for bam 100 t r, and the frame of su b a building alone cost ceirly as much as my hog house complete. By building two of tbess houses facing each other, eight to ten feet apart, and roofing and inclosing tbe apace between tbem, a large and convenient feed room can be made at a very small ex pense.
