STABLE VENTILATION.
Advancement Must Come In the Care O
Live Stock.

Advancement Must Come In the Care of
Live Stock.
Better stable ventilation is bound to
come, both for dairy cows and for
other stock. 1t used to be the fashion
to keep children in air-tight boxes for
schoolrooms, and people wondered why
they were so easily "broken down by
overstudy"- ventilation is one of
the first things thought of in building
schoOlhouses. The same advancement
must soon be made in our care of cat
tie. Pure, untainted milk cannot be
taken from cattle whose whole systems
are permeated with the foul odor of the
average barnyard. To obtain an abso-
lutely untainted quality of milk, both
cows, stables and attendants must be
perfectly free from faint, and this cam
not be hoped for in close, sealed sta
BILE built over vault of decaying
manure, or contaminated by the breath
of herd of cows, even if the stables
are kept outwardly clean. 1t by no
means follows that the herd should be
kept in an open 'leanto" shed, and ex-
posed to cold drafts and sitting snow.
The true remedy is a COW stable built
with scientifically constructed ventila-
tors, plenty of windows, and well re-
moved from any manure pile or other
sources of corruption. Not only the
milk but the general health of the cat
tie demand light and air in their win
ter quarters. Influenza, tuberculosis
intermittent fever, and numerous other
maladies Turk in the dark, crowded,
ill-ventilated stables that are the too
universal rule. The dairyman's pas
sion for cleanliness should extend to
the air his cattle breathe, as well as to
the food they eat, the water they
drink and the stables in which they
are kept.-Farm, Field and Stockman

What is a Cold.
The ANSWER GIVEN IN A LECTURE BY
DR.. HARTMAN AT THE SURGICAL
HOTEL, COLUMBUS, ONO.

A cold is the starting point of more
than half of the fatal illnesses from No.
vember TO May. A cold is the first
chapter in the history of every case of
consumption, A cold is the first stage
OF nronic catarrh, the most loathsome
and stubborn of diseases. A cold is the
legimae parent of large family of
diseases. such as bronchitis, peurisy,
pneumonia, and quinsy. To neglect a
cold is almost suicide. To fail to pro-
vide against this well-nigh inevitable
evil is dangerous negligence. Pe-ru-na
is safeguard as preventive, speci-
fic as cure for all cases of catarrh,
acute and chronic, coughs, colds, con-
sumption, etc etc Every family should
be provided with copy of The Family
Physician No, 2, complete guide to
prevent and cure winter diseases. Sent
free by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufufac-
turing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

AMONG the many reflections after
election, not one is more important
than the conditions of American right
of suffrage. All our intelligent women
are debarred and refused the privilege
of voting. All our foreigners, negroes
and part of the indians are granted the
privilege of voting. Many of them
vote for whoever offer them the highest
price and many others are expected to
vote as they are told. All men clamor
for suffrage as a right hit for the safety
of the government, it ought to be re-
stricted to intelligent voting. With the
present suffIa age laws and the conditions
of ignorance and poverty, it IS impos-
sible for any party to be free from
political corruption.

THERE is one thing that must be
startingly apparent to the rural popu-
alton of this country, and that is, their
loss of political power as compared
with the city The statement has been
made that while the city gains fifteen
per cent. in population in wear, the
country gaiEs but three per cent. The
reports from New York and Chicago
most certainly point to this as being
true and also that the city vote is fast
becoming the ruling factor in politics
This is not a good sign for the welfare
of the country. Any thinking person
will readily see this. The returns from
Thursdays election show large ma
jorities in the cities, in some of them
enormous maiorities, in fact SO large
that it cannot be hoped that the rural
districts viii overcome them. This
throws the control Of the state in all
political affairs upon comparatively
small area and under the immediate
management of few leaders, which is
out of the question in among rural
population. The history of nations has
largely been history of their few great
cities and the roes of most nations have
come through the usurpation of power
by those, who, because of their relations
to the great masses, suecee in getting
the reins Of government into their own
hands New York and Chicago are
object lessons at the present time which
it is we'll for the people 10 thoughtfully
study. There can be no better time 10
commence this than Just now when the
returns of the presidential election are
coming in.

The general hubbub and excitement
of neutrality-suspicious. election is over
and it is impossible to tell certainly who
is elected president The indications
are that New York and Illinois have
gone democratic and that Cleveland is
again chosen after lapse of four years
to the place in the White House. This
is an unique episode in American
history, 1t is the first time president
having once been president, then beaten,
and out of office for term, should be
chosen again. This will in all proba-
bility make Cleveland the candidate of
the democratic party in 1896 for they
will not dare throw him overheard at
the end of the coming term. From the
present outlook no man seems more
likely to go down in history as a three
timer than does Grover Cleveland.
