Barn Sanitation.

Barn sanitation is the subject that
morning. If any apology is required
1t viii toe for the manner of presenting
it and not for the subject itself
We have in this State from fifteen To
eighteen million dollars worth of stock
and whatever has to do with the
health and productveness of this vast
amount of living property is important
enough to command our attention.
All disease among our domestic ami
mails does not originate in the barn on
account of unhygienic conditions that
exist there. but it is safe to say that
most of it does
The barn building world has not
stood still while all the rest of the
world has been on the move. although
some individual barns belong to a past
age. AS we now find them in this
State barns are a comparatively
modern invention.
Their development has been nat
ural result of the Improvement in the
quality of our flocks and herds, and
the great changes that have taken
place in our stock industry during the
past two decades
Better stock will pay for better care.
ana the result of much study and cX-
rerience has found expression in the
modern barn with all its appliances for
the convenience of the owner and the
comfort of his stock.
With all that has been accomplished
there is yet room for the progressive

best is far from common
We do not intend to discuss barn
sanitation from the standpoint of a
radical reformer We realize that
stock is not kept for its own sake. and
any method of care that has nothing

health of the animals is not likely to
be generally adopted unless the ex-
pense involved will pay.
We wish to discuss the subject from
the standpoint of the man who has
MS living to make and wants it to be a
good living, easily gained. We pre-

FRENCH VIOLINS ARE BEST.

Probably there is no musical inStru-
ment made in such infinite diversity of

Even the very cheapest, when proper
ly played, says the Boston Globe, yield
a very fair tone in skillfuI hands.
though, of course, the carrying pow
er" is small. These fiddles are made
from woods stamped into the required
shape under great pressure, the backs
from maple or sycamore and the tops
from pine, the whole being finished off

times a semblance of antiquity is art

have slight knowledge of Tiolins are
taken in by these ingenious frauds.
France unquestionably holds the
first position in producing high-class
modern violins. The English instru-
ments are usually heavy, both in sub
stance and in tone, while those of the

exquisite in model, workmanship and
tone. The finest Strads, Amatis and
all the glorious rest are copied with
fidelity little short of the marvellous

in the Flowery Kingdom.
During a description of the woman of
Japan a correspondent of the ST. Louis
Dispatch says:
The girls middle schools are like our
public day schools. The education
given il excellent and quite up to all
modern requirements, while at the
same time the characteristic elements
of Japanese lady's education are pre-
served
The traditional accomplishments of
a Japanese lady were, however, not for
gotten, and there were rooms set apart
for giving instructions in the arrange
ment of flowers, the details of the tea
ceremony, and in playing the goto
Without proficiency in these three ac-
complishments no japanese lady is
thought to be completely educated.
The technical and the industrial schools
for girls in Japan are admirable insti-
buttons. One of the most interesting
girls schools is undoubtedly the school
for peeresses at Toxic. In this the en-
visits the school every week, and knows
all the girls by name. The students are
daughters of the "daimios' and noble
men. If the empress had not herself
taken the lead in the movement for the
higher education of the women of the
noble classes it is doubtful if Japanese
noblemen would have consented to send
their girls to public day school,; that
they do so is proof of the earnestness
with which the japanese have adopted
modern western education.
