THE GOCER(ORSHIP.

If General Seldom Conner shall be the candidate
nominated by tke convention, the republicans of
Maine will elect him by rousing majority. 50
it will be with any other man who receives ma
ority of the votes ia the Convention. What
we object to is that newspapers should attempt to
force candidate upon the people. We have not
the least objection to General Conner either from
personal knowledge CT from reputation; indeed,
all we know Of him is favorable, but no more so
than others. If had the power and ntlGence,
we would not attempt to forcstall opinion in favor
of any particular candidate; we should much pre-
fer to reflect the will of the people. If General
Conner should be the choice of the delegates who
go to the Convention at Portland, TO the extent OF
our ability we shall work to give him such ma
iority as will be an honor to the candidate and to
the state. and TO the republican party. So if any
other Of the half dozen men which have been
named who are equally good, should be select
ed by the saffrages of the people by their dele
gates the republican party would lift him into the
seat Of honor with iust as much enthusiasm. 1t Is
the republican party which proposes TO elect a
governor next fall the man must be good one,
no ether need apply; but it Is not the man We
elect, it is the republican party which proposes TO
show to the world that it has not forgotten its
principles. -.Ndchias Repubhcan.

Ventilation of Stables i.

Stables are generally very imperfectly ven
tilated, the dependence, usually, for the
change of air in them, being the opening of
windows. This, not unfrequently, brings a
direct current of air over or directly against
the animal, often producing degree of dis
comfort that is unpardonably cruel. When
the weather is extremely cold, stable men,
finding the blast entering the windows on
the windward side too cool for their own
comfort, will close all up, and then leave the
animals for night without proper supply
of fresh air, and that confined, besides being
breathed over and over, is still further vitiated
by the emanatons from the fetid mass con-
shutting their beds, intensified by the volatil-
iZing effect of the animal heat absorbed from
their bodies.
In the absence of subterranean ventilation
1.-THE most perfect known TO the wrlter), the
supply and exhaust of air from stables through
a perpendicular ventilating shaft or due is pre-
ferabe to openings in the walls in cold weather
and is the next best If tie stable is close
and the perpendicular fue is large enough,
and so placed that no animals are directly
under it, it will be found that a column
of rarifed air will ascend in the centre of the
shaft, and cylinder of cooler air surround
ing it, next to the walls of the shaft, will de-
scend in it at the same time without produc-
ing au injurious draught of air. 1t is we'll to

mentions, and then supply shutters or valves
closing portion of the opening, and adjust
them until proper ingress and egress is re-
sumed.
The space or opening next to the walls of
the shaft for the descent of cool air need not
be as great as that operating as egress, as the
escaping air is more or less rariied. Proper
attention to the means of supply and ex-
haust of air from COW stables may be made
very conductive to The comfort of the animals
and the profit OF the owner. The same is
true with regard to everything that will Sc
cure ceanlidess in the stables.
In the use of the vertical ventilating shaft,
the circulation and movement of the air in it
in opposite directions may be tested and reg
ulated by simply attaching bit of light pa
per to pole and adjusting the valves until
the movement corresponds, or is reciprocal
