VentilatOrs for Stacks and MOws.

1t will be OF little advantage to make
hole or two near the middle OF a stack
or hay NOW, unless it is open at the
bottom for the influx of fresh air, and
open at the top also for the etfiux of
foul air. When ventilator is made in
stack, there should be an air passage
from the outside of the stack to the bot
tom of the ventilator. Then at the top
Of the stack wooden tube-round or
square, having hole two or three inch
es in diameter through it-should be
set IN the hay when the stack is being
topped off. Two or three inch holes,
or a square hole in the floor of a NOV,
should be made at the bottom of each
ventilator. BY this means current of
cool air will be kept III motion until
there is no more warm or impure air to
be carried out of the NOV or stack.
The most convenient way to make a
ventilator in hay NOW is to prepare a
square box about five or six feet long,
and sixteen or eighteen inches square,
of thin boards, and place it where tlue
is to be made in stack or NOW, and
draw it up as the stack is built. When
within five or six feet of the top, re-
move the box or have wooden tube
ready to set over the top OF the hue.
In NOW the top of the ventilators
should be left open. The tube may be
kept from dropping into the flue by
mailing piece of board on one side of
it near the bottom. Then pile hay
around it until it will stand alone. By
this means an efficient ventilator will
be formed. 1t Is an excellent practice
TO put ventilators into long stacks and
long mows about every ten feet. In a
square or round stack, not more than
twenty feet in diameter, two fiues would
be sufficient. A fiue in stack that is
covered over with hay at the top will
not pay for the trouble of making. But
if there is no more than two.inch hole
open at the top, several barrels of foul
air will escape per minute through it..
BY thus letting cool air into the middle
OF a NOW or stack, hay that would 9TH
erwise "mow bum" will be kept cool
and will save we'll A barrel is some
times employed for making a ventilat-
ing flue. The barrel must be drawn up
few inches at once as the hay is stored
around it.

The BaZeilles Massacre.

1t may be remembered that during
the Franco.German war, considerable
feeling was expressed in reference to
the alleged unjustifable cruelties exer-
cised by the troops of the First Bavarian
Army corps and the Eight Prussian
Infantry Division, upon the inhabitants
of the French village Of Bazeilles. 1t
was asserted, that on September lst,
1870, the German troops had set fire to
the village in order to punish the in.
habitants for taking part of the defence,
and that out of two thousand persons
only three hundred had escaped. 1t
was asserted that the women and chill
dren had taken refuge IN the cellars
and had been burned alive, and that
the Barvarians had driven whole fami-
lies back into the flames, and had shot
women found trying to escape. General
Won Der Taun, the communicating chief
of the Bavarian army, has recently writ
ten letter. stating that since the con-
clusion of peace he has obtained infor-
nation from the French authorities, and
particularly from the Mayor of Bazellies,
in reference to the particulars of the
fight, and that upon their testimony he
is justified in asserting that the above
report is positively untrue. According
to the French official accounts. 1t APP
pears that thirty was the total
number of killed, wounded and mis-
sing inhabitants of Bazelles. These in
cluded two bedridden women, three
men and three children, who were
burned and sufiocated, besides one
woman and thirty men killed and
woun ded during the two days fight of
August 3lst and September lst, when
the greater part of the village was
burned, having been set fire to by the
mutual and continuous cannonading of
the French and German armies. General
Won Der Taun says that in the street
and house fighting of six hours with the
Twelfth French Army Corps he lost two
thousand men. 1t is also stated that
after the battle, about one hundred and
fifty out of 204S inhabitants of Bazeilles
died from diseases caused by extreme
want and misery
