Fresh air should be admitted near
the floor by q shaft reaching to the
outside Of the barn. Another shaft q
foot or more square should run the
whole height of the barn and pierce
the roof outside. This shaft should
extend to within a foot of the bottom
Of the stable. As the air taken in
from out of doors becomes heated 1t
rises and as It becomes impure it will
seek an outlet at the only point it can
get it, up the shaft. Thus the air in
the stable, instead of being cold all
the time, will always be warm. ard.

Barn Ventilation.

The discussion of the subject of tn
berculosis in cattle necessarily in
wolves the subject of the causes of the
same which are often found in illy
ventilated barns. The tendency of the
farmer in winter is to get a large
amount of warmth for his cattle so as
to save the cost of feed. To secure
heat he has supplied little room for
his cows and has shut out the cold air
as much as possible. An authority
upon the health of the COW says that
the stable, to be healthy, should be
well ventilated and free from draughts
and to accomplish this air should be
admitted at the door line and sufficient
space should be provided at the apex
Of the roof to allow the heated air to
escape. Six hundred cubic feet of air
is necessary for Shorthorns and their
grades, and less of course for the
smaller breeds.
But many farmer will be confront
ed by the impossibility of building
larger barn for the purpose Of securing
the necessary extra amount Of air
space. The system Of ventilating
named above is poor one, as it is not
economical Of fresh, warm air and It
subjects cattle to direct draughts Of
cold air. 1t Is the system that has
been long condemned BY architects.
TO supply men or animals with pure
air ct the lowest cost. the impure mir
should not escape at the highest point,

The ancient Schloss, which was for
merly a monastery, became a private
residence in the year 1903. and in 1917
became the property of King Maximil-
ian 1. of Bavaria. The King made it his
summer residence, and generally spent
several months there every year. Now
it is the property of Duke Carl Theodor,
who has put it to noble use. and has
made Tegernsee the center of charitable
work among the poor.
The Schloss is large building, with
beautiful shaded walk between it and
the lake, the church standing almost
in the courtyard behind, and with a
background Of wooded hills. 1t is a
comfortable house, with numerous
beautiful old-fashioned rooms, which
have been rendered very homelike and
pretty by the Duchess and her daugh-
tiers.
The hospital is situated in one wing
of the Schloss, as the Duke finds it most
convenient to have his patients under
his own roof. No royal duke and duch-

the Duke of Urach on July 4, 1892. It
was not until seven years after his frs;
wife's death that the Duke made his
second choice, a choice that has rem
dered his home life ideally happy. It
was on April 20, 1874, that he married
the Princess Maria Josepha Of Bra
ganza, who was then only seventeen
years of age, and one of the most beau
tiful and talented princesses in Europe.
The Duke, who is eighteen years her
senior, is the brother of the Empress Of
Austria, and the head of the ducal
house of Bavaria, his elder brother hav-
ing resigned his rights in order to make
a morganatic marriage.
No married life could be more simple
or happy than that led by the Duke and
Duchess Carl Theodor, surrounded by
their five children, three daughters and
two sons-the Princess Sophie, born in
1875; the Princess Elizabeth, 1876: the
Princess Marie, 1878; Prince Ludwig
Wilhelm, in 1884, and Prince Franz
Joseph, the godson of the Emperor of
Austria, on March %, 1883.
The Duke and Duchess lead a very
busy, useful life, for the Duke has no
less than three eye hospitals under his
charge, which he has himself founded,
the principal and favorite of which is
at the Royal Schloss, at Tegernsee, in
Bavaria, of which we give views. Tie
others are at Munich and Merau, a: all

HE HAD SEEN A THING OR TWO.
A Story of Adventure.

Few men have had more hair
breadth escapes than Senior William
FenimOre Cooper, who for many years
lived near the extinct volcano of Zem-
pOatepettie. in the province of OriZaba,
Mexico. He made his home with the
Mexican Indians, the last Of the once
proud race of AZtecS who fought under
MOnteZuma. 1t was his custom daily
to enter the crater of the volcano and
look for mosaic agate, 4 translucent,
prismatic stone somewhat similar to
the onyx. One day he went to sleep
in the crater near a bed of sulphur,
and the latter caught fire and came
within an ace of suffocating him. His
beard has been a burnt umber color
ever since.
The accident caused him to quit
Mexico for the United States, and he
has been here ever since. Some of the
incidents in his career show that he
has nerve, a deadly aim and a heart
for every fate. He is native Of the
Tar Heel State, and when sixteen
years old he went to Texas to become
a cowboy. One night near the Rio
Grande river he and ten other cow
boys were surrounded by Mexican
bandits, and a general fight followed.
In the melee young Cooper was shot
in the head, and the bullet is still
there. He was dragged from the field
as dead, but after many weeks he ro-
covered and began to punch cows
again and practice pistol shooting. His
idea was revenge on the gre:lSer who
had shot him in the fight, whom he
knew by sight.
One hot night in July, four months
after he was wounded, Cooper had his
horse staked out grazing while he
took his siesta under chaparral tree
on the banks of little stream. When
he awOke he lit shuck cigarette and
casually looked down the stream. To
his amaZement he saw the greaser
who shot him just getting up from a
siesta. The greaser's horse was also
grazing some yards away. Both ran
for their horses. for they knew it was
a life-and-death race. The greaSer
was 4 Splinter and so was Cooper
Each reached his horse almost at the
same moment. and each mounted sim
ultaneOuSly.
Their pistols left their holsters to-
gethcr, and they began TO fire at each
other. After two shots had been eX-
changed the greaSer yelled out 4 chal-
lenge of the true cowboy style-i. e.,
they would gallop around in a circle,
shoot ut each other five times apiece,
and if at the expiration of the ten
shots neither was killed. they would
resort to the lariat. Cooper readily
agreed. because he had devoted much
practice to shooting from his horse at
full speed.
They rode a short distance from the
creek and then began their circula;
duel. AS they galloped around the
greaser shot first and put a bullet hole
through the rim of COoper's sOmbrero.
1t was close call and showed fine
craftsmanship on the greaser'S part.

could smell that bullet, for it actually
scOrched my eyebrows" The first bull
let from Cooper entered the greaser's
side, but he pluckily kept his seat in
his saddle and put a hole through the
cowboys sleeve. At the second dis
charge from the cowboys pistol the
greaser fell headlong from his horse.
Cooper thought he was dead. but he
was only badly wounded and recover
ed months afterward. 1t made good
Mexican out of him, and he gave up
brigandage and in time became an al
calde in the province Of Chihuahua.
At this period the subject of this
sketch concluded he had played cow
boy long enough, and came north,
where he married handsome young
lady who, as subsequent events proved,
had as much courage as her husband.
OF all places in the world, he con-
cluded to go to Africa on his wedding
trip, and his wife did not object. After
weeks Of sea travel they started up

months he was absent from the coast.
but when he returned he had secured
enough ivory to clear $4,000 above all
expenses. Mrs. Cooper was with him
every moment, and carried rifle,
which she used effectually on more
than one occasion. This was some
years before Mrs. French Sheldon PEN
etrated to the interior of the Dark
Continent.
One of the petty African chiefs, who
had plenty of ivory stored away, re-
fused to sell it to Mr.. Cooper. He
also complained of the loss to the cat

Feeding Sheep With COttOnseed
Meal

Sheep soon learn to like cOttOnSeed
meal. Some will refuse it at first, as
will also some cattle. In the Cornell
experiment station Bulletin No. AZ is
a record of feeding lambs weighing on
an average a trifie less than 60 pounds
each, from Dec. to April - inclusive.
The ration, for lot 1, for five lambs
for period of 40 days was: Wheat
bran 49, pounds. cottonSeed meal 191,
linseed meal SO, hay COG, corn ensilage
1.166 pounds. The gain was 26.5
pounds per head. As most readers are
better acquainted with the gain in cat
tie than in sheep, the weights, etc,
might be applied to steers. Fifteen OF
these lambs would equal 9O0-pOund
steer. Since each lamb gained 26.5
pounds, fifteen would have gained 337
pounds. If a steer of 900 pounds he
substituted for the fifteen lambs
weighing 900 pounds and the total
gain be divided by 40, the number of
days the lambs were fed, is shows
phenomenal gain Of 22.S pounds per day
for the steer.
In another experiment with nine
lambs weighing 5G pounds each. fed
lob days OH highly heterogeneous grain
rational mixture of one pound of lin
seed meal, one of cOttonseed meal and
rs pounds Of bran, with hay and roots
the gain was 24.5 pounds per lamb
for the entire period. Computing as
before, the gain would be equal to 3.S
pounds per DAY for the steer. While
the gain made by the lambs is not in
all respects comparable with a single
steer Of equal weight. yet the COM
parison helps to show the large Sain
and the results of foods containing a
liberal amount of cOttOnseed meal.
Roots, cOttonseed meal, bran and clO-
yer hay fed in connection with enough
corn to slightly widen the ration, may
be considered ideal for sheep feeding.
At the same station cows were fed q

ious effects.-PrOf. Roberts in Ameri-

The proper time to apply fertilizers
for clover is with the wheat in the fall.
A liberal supply Of potash with the
wheat manure, will not only realize
the highest efficiency of the other fer
tilizing elements present but also ma
terially ASSIST in obtaining good
stand of clover. That potash and lime
are the two most important fertilizers
for clover, is now pretty generally Gu-
derstood. 1t has been freely claimed
that the cause of the frequent failure
70 this crop Of recent years is due to
the Inadequate applications Of potash
in the fertilizers used when seeding
down wheat. The wheat crop draws
heavily upon potash Notwithstanding
the popular opinion to the contrary.
Nearly three quarters Of the potash In
the wheat crop is removed in the
grain and straw. Even if there has
been q deficiency of ammonia, the
straw has taken a very large proper
ton Of the potash, though the yield of
grain has been insignificant.
Clover and other leguminOuS plants
must have potash and lCme, and they
will forage deeply in them; but, failing
to fird supply, failure is lnevita-
BILE. In those cases in which the soil
is unusually rich in potash and lime
bearing minerals, the availability Of
same is materially promoted by a
thorough and continuous cultivation.
It must be remembered that the clO-
yer crop cannot be worked in this way,
"tillage is manure" but the crop can
not be titled in this sense.
The Importance of ample supplies Of
potash for a good clover stand is we'll
recognized, and it is best applied with
the wheat fertilizer in the winter
wheat rotation. There are no definite
quantities which may be safely as
signed,as the needs of lands vary with
the nature of the soil, length of time
under cultivation, etc. A safe PROPOSE
ton is to lime to the extent of about
thirty bushels per acre every four
years, and have the potash in the
wheat fertilizer, not less than the
available phOSphoric acid, preferably
more. That is, if the phosphoric acid
available is 8 per cent the potash
should be not less than 8 per cent.
and a surer clover stand would follow
a percentage Of ten.
There has been much talk of using
crimson clover or cow peas as a sue
cessor to red clover. The value of the
plants lies in their ability to store up
nitrogen in the atmosphere; this pro-
cess requires practically the same con-
ditiOns in one that it requires in an
other. For the same amount of value
in vegetable substance, the cow peas
and crimson clover will require as
much potash as red clover. The rea-
son that the practice does not seem
to indicate this as a fact of expert
ence, is due to the method Of planting
Red clover is planted with wheat,
which is a very eXacting potash con-
sumner. 1t will take it's potash for
straw. though little grain is produced
and when wheat is insufficiently fer
tilted, which is almost always the
case. the potash in the removed straw
seriously restricts the conditions IA
vorable to the growth of clover. Grim

known are planted under other condi-
