The old style of rail creep beneath a straw stack, so long as it is closed on three sides, affords a fine bed for breeding sows or even growing pigs, On some of the most extensive hog breeding establishments the only shelter given .the sows in winter is an old barn or shed, lined up to keep the draughts out, and having a constantly open door which affords free and un- limited access to the open air. The feeding is done in the open, which com- pels the herd to take a good amount of of daily exercise, upon which good health so muoh depends.

PnBLISR RANDPROPRISTOA URSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1909. E WINTER HOUSING OF SW INE. t is at this season of the year that housing of swine becomes a more or difficult problem. This is more titularly true in regard to the hone - of sows due to farrow in the spring. is chiefly on the housing that the or of spring litters depends. The ;.sed edition of the Bulletin No. 10 of Live Stook Branoh, Ottawa, treats question in a very practical manner. says:- "Muoh of the success of hog -raising nds upon suitable housing. Snit - e housing, does not, however, de - and expensively built houses and pens signed so as to provide summer tem- rature during the winter season. In ambitious desire to treat swine with o consideration for their comfort ogressive hog raisers have, during the t few years, practically wasted large me of money in building elaborate arm houses for their herds. Having intend their stook of all ages and nditions in these structures for one r two seasons the mistake they had de became apparent by reason 1 the fact that the swine instead showing greater vigor, exhibit• signs of ill -health in the form of ughing, lameness, sourfxness of skin d other evidences of lack of thrift. he chief difficulty from these close ousel is dne to the lack of exercise ken by the swine kept in them. After ising from their comfortable beds to o their food, which is usually pro- ided regularly, near at hand and in 'datable condition, the pigs fill them - elves and again return to their resting laces. This mode of living followed or weeks and months at a season of ear when outdoor life is nninvitiag, gen should the pen door be left open, attended with indigestion, c °net i a• on and ether forms of slugginess, caus- ing weak littera, lack of a good milk Cow in dams, stunted weanlings and slow gains in older hogs, Exercise to tie essential for swine of all ages if hog siting is to be made a success, and it is in not providing this that the warm pen ;used for both sleeping and feeding fails. ;For young litters coming in cold weath- er a warm pen is necessary, and rather oloae quarters are also conducive to the ,moat profitable gains during the hog's nal fattening period, but at no other International Newspaper Bible Study Course. Salient Points in the Lesson for Sunday, Jan. 24, Given in a Series of Questions by Rev. Dr. Linsvott, (Registered in accordance with the:Copyright Act.) THE LAME MAN HEALED. -Acts iii: 1.26. Golden Text. -His name, through faith in his name, bath made this man :strong, whom ye see and know. Aots iii:16. Verse 1. -Are two devout persons butter than one for worship? Is it any help in the Christian lite, for eaoh Christian to have a very inti- mate spiritual friend? Verse 2 -Was it any fault of this man that he was lame? Did God think any the less of him for being lame? Is any sickness neoessarily sinful? What proportion of our ailments are a result either of our sin, or our culpable ignorance? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.) To what olass of persons do the poor generally go for help? Verse 3. -Which is the better, to beg or to starve? Was this a legitimate way for this man to make his living? Should the state maintain all persons who are born with infirmities, which make it impossible for them to main- tain themselves? • Are our laws righteous beggiog? Verse 4. -If you want to impart spiritual benefit, oan you do it more effeotually by looking theperson straight in the eyes? Verse 5. -Does effectual teaching or helping others, depend as much upon the person taught, or needing help, as upon the teaoher or helper? Verse 6, -Was it an advantage, or a disadvantage, that Peter and John had no money to give? Was it an advantage, or disadvantage to the lame man that Peter and John WORK THAT WEAKENS Booth's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work in Wingham. or bodily infirmity had no money? Would a ohnroh do better work if it did not give money to the poor, but in- stead gave them the things they needed most? Need the lack of money, or ability, ever prevent any man, from doing the work in Life which God has appointed him to do? If we invoke the name of Jesus, in the work to which we are appointed, what effeot will it have upon the socom- pliahment of our work? Verse 7. -By what power was this lame man healed? What reason is there for the belief, that the power oY God generally works in conjunction with human ef- fort? Verse 8 -Would it be wise, or not, if we made more_.outward demonstra- tion, in returning God thanks for the wonders of his love? Is there any meritinoutward en- thusiaam if we have inward loyalty to God? Verse 9. -If we were to outwardly demonstrate more, would the work of God go on faster? Verse 10.11. -What is the greatest influence in advancing Christ's King- dom? Verse 12. -Is it a sign of faith, or of unbelief, when we "marvel" at the ful- fillment of any of God's promises? Verses 13.16. -Which was the guilt- ier, Pilate or the chief of the Jews, for the murder of Jesus? Verse 17. -If a man does a wrong thing through ignorance, when he could have known better, is he as guilty as if he knew better? Verses 18.26. -What is our only rea- sonable hope of salvation? Lesson for Sunday, Jan. 31st, 1909. -The Trial of Peter and John. Acts iv:1.31. Many Wingham people work every day in some strained unnatural position, bending oonstantly over a desk, riding on jolting wagons or oars, bending over heavy house work, lilting, reaohing, pulling, all these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Booth's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put 's strength in bad backs. Wingham cures prove it. Mr. Wm. Dore, of Shuter St„ Wing - ham, Ont., says: "I had suffered with attacks of lumbago across my back for many years. It would come on me after taking oold or being in the damp to any extent, settling in the small of my back the region of the kidneys and extend- ing into my aides I would be u nadble to stoop over or lift anything could scarcely straighten myself up. The urine would beoomc highly c.aored and would contain an ::mount of sand like sediment highly colored and odor- ous. I had been using different reme- dies for years but had not found the de- sired results until on advice of our dsng- gist Mr. McKibben I used Booth's Sidney Pills. They quickly relieved me, my back strengthened and the dull, heavy pains had soon gone, the urine cleared to its natural color. am stronger and better in every way and could not hesitate to recommend Booth's Kidney Pills."

Beautiful teeth are a souroe of exquis- ite delight to beholders, to say nothing of what they mean cosmetically to their possessors ; and, most important of all, what they mean from the view point of health, for a set of healthy teeth are like it watch -dog guarding the portals of the body, whereas poorly kept teeth are like the broken-down fences, leaking roofs and weed -grown gardens, indicative of shiftlessness and sloth. We cannot be- gin too early In life to care for the teeth, and mothers are singularly negligent in watching the condition of their children in this particular. 'Many believe it =- necessary to give any attention to the temporary or milk -teeth; as a matter of fact these teeth aid the growth and de- velopment of the second or permanent ones, which absorb the milk -teeth as they push their way forward. Children should be taught, as aeon as they have any understanding whatever, that the toilet of the mouth is an essen- tial part of the daily regime and be pro- vided with their own set of dental pre- parations, including a baby tooth -brush of camel's hair. If left to themselves, children will "go at" the cleansing pro- em too vehemently, and so bruise the delicate tissues of the mouth.

The other woman, who wears any old thing to the breakfast table, is also making a mistake, for that is the time when the men of the household ought to see a woman at her beat, and not eapeoially rely on her appearance in the evening, when the soft and charitable light of gas will hide many defects. Lard is Now rrc•ferrcd by Many For- eign f:rin.rts. Italian and French experts have et lute days become convinced that lard as en egg preservative is to be highly commended. Dr. Campanini, an Italian agricultural authority, after reviewing the various known means of preserv- ing eggs -by salt water, limewater, silicate of potash, vaseline and cold storage- described his lard experi- ments, which showed better results than all others. His theory is that to preserve eggs some system must be adopted that will absolutely prevent the exchange between the :.ir outside and the inside of the egg, for it is this continual exchange that causes putre- faction. Dr. Campanini selected per- fectly fresh eggs and covered them with- lard so as effectually to stop up all the pores. The shells were thus rendered impermeable, and the ex- change of air was prevented, the ob- struction of the pores not permitting; the evaporation of the water. The whites and yellows of the eggs retained their colors perfeetly,'and the taste was not modified in the slightest degree. When properly caked with lard, not too thickly, the eggs are put in baskets or boxes on a bed of tow or fine odorless shavings and so arranged that there will be no point of contact between them; otherwise a mold will develop and putrefaction result. The packing room should be perfectly dry, the question of temperature not being important. 13y this process Dr. Cam- panini kept a quantity of eggs for a whole year through a very hot summer and a very cold winter, and they were perfectly preserved. Some authorities take exception to the smearing of eggs with fat or lard. Limewater, on the other hand, is strongly advocated by, Canadian poultry experts. TP KENNEDY, M. D., M.O.P.

Dnffus, who lives in Robertson Street, Fort William, while on his engine near West- ford happened with a nasty accident. The water gauge of the locomotive burst and scalded the whole of the left side of his face and head terribly. "It so happened," said. Duffles to our repreaentatiye, "that I had a box of Zam•Bnk in my pocket, which I used for a sore on my lip, and when I had reoovered from the first shook of the accident, I produced the balm and had it applied freely to the aoalded parts. At the time I applied it I was suffering acute agony, but within a wonderfully short time Zam-Bak gave me ease. I was able to continue my journey, and upon reaching home I .obtained .. •re Zam•Bak and continued th= ment. It acted wonderfully well . nd in a few days had the wonnd n' sly healing.

There is something different and superior about Zam-Bak. Time and again workers in all branches of trade have proved its vast superiority over the advertised ointments and salves of the day. No doubt the fact that Zam-Bak 1s made entirely from herbal essences and extracts, while ordinary ointments contain more or less animal fats and oils, goes a long way to explain Zam- Buk's superiority. However this may be, the fact remains that in four contin- ents to whioh it has been introduced within ten years it has become the leading household balm! For barns, opts, scalds, bruises, ec- zema, piles, ulcers, ring -worm, itch, salt -rheum, bad leg, featering sores, chapped places, cold.sores, frost -bites, and all skin injuries and diseased, Zam- Bnk is beyond doubt a most marvellous cure.

Pekin ducks are great layers, but are of no account as mothers; consequent- ly, if they cease laying and remain on the nest, shut them up, feed them well for a few days, and when they are turned loose they will soon begin to lay, again. As they will do this the season through from early March till late in November in warm latitudes with only a little rest in midsummer, a large flock can be raised from a very few to begin with. If one does not care for eggs later than the summer months the ducks may be picked, the feathers be- ing a source of considerable profit, whether kept for one's own use or sol, but the ducks must not be picked dur- ing period the e riod ess s are wanted. While ducks will usually commence to lay in February, it is not advisa- ble to begin hatching too soon. Damp- ness is more fatal to young ducks than anything else, and early in the spring It requires considerably more work to look after them than later on, after the weather becomes more settled. For the reason that they make better mothers and bear the necessary confinement better than ducks it is best to hatch the first brood under hens. Fear keeps them confined until the ducks are well fledged. There need be but little, if any, loss, and 'after the ducklings get well started to feathering they aro quite hardy and can be turned out to look out for themselves.
