SUNLIGHT IN The STABLE.
A Neglected Item In the Practice of
Good Dnirying.

A Neglected Item In the Practice of
Good Dnirying.
Mr.. John Gould of Ohio says he has
been in the habit Of paying attention to
the window lighting of the many stables
which he sees, wherein dairy COWS pass
most of the winter, and under the title
of sunlight in the stable'' he records
in The Country Gentleman impressions
received: / am struck times without
number with the little regard which is
paid to the proper Lighting of stable,
and the little attention these men seem
to pay to the value of sunlight in their
stables The usual rule is 10 put in a
few small windows along tie northern
walls-few of any kind or size In a
large new barn which recently visited,
the reimbursement stable in which more
than 40 COWS were tied had no light
admitted from north, east or west sides
save when doors were open and only
four small windows on the south side.
There seems to be prejudice against
admitting light full and free into sta.
BILE, belief that comfort in stable
consists of making it dark and without
ventilation, and then the owners wonder
about great many things that happen
while their COWS are in the winter sta
bles.
A stable should be as light as the sun
can make it and the windows so large
that the sunlight can fall on the COWS
and floors, and if one is afraid that
there will be too much falling of tenn
perature during the cold nights by re-
fraction put outside storm windows on,
the air space inclosed by which is a
sufficient protection. One of the finest
dairy herds / ever saw was actually
basking in sunlight. There were large
windows with outside storm sashes.
The temperature was kept very even,
and ventilation was secured by fues
and hampers, not by either cracks in
the walls or open windows.
The testimony everywhere is that the
men who have these we'll lighted stables
are warm in their praise. In my barn
/ would no more think of going back to
the dark little windows than of readopt-
ing the 1850 plan of letting my cows
sleep in the wood lot in winter. The
verdict everywhere is that the COWS are
better cared for, do better and are in
better health and strength for the album
dant light. A COW with the sunlight
falling on her in the stable is having
all the advantages of a sun bath, and
thus escapes zero weather. In the we'll
lighted, sunny stable there are a dryness
to the air and freedom from staleness
or disagreeable smells which repay one
over and over for the little outlay
| emphatically believe that the COW
stable should never be subbasement
affair or be walled in Oh the north side
with windowless stone wall. Stables
should run north and south and be so
arranged that the morning sun comes
in on that side, the noon shines in the
south end window. and in the afternoon
the west windows should get their
share. My dairy barn is built this way
and Iregard it as capital plan, though
the windows are not extremely large.
With sunlight and absorbents l have
not the least difficulty in keeping a
warm, dry stable.

An Orange Judd Farmer correspond
ent says it is his experience that fresh
clean eggs, gathered in October and
packed in oats or middlings, with the
smaller end down and no two eggs
touching each other, will be found in
March with albumen as clear and of
the same consistency as when first
packed.
The method of inoculating with soil
that is usually recommended consists
in scattering broadcast on the plowed
ground about one ton per acre, of soil
from field of clover, yetch, etc. This
earth should be narrowed in promptly
and thoroughly.

The wheat crop of the world for 1898
is estimated by the department of agri-
culture at 2,640, 900, 600 bushels, the
largest crop on record, though this is
somewhat offset by the smallness of the
reserve stock
The crop report gives the average for
Irish potatoes on Oct. at 1919 points
higher than the October condition last
year, but 81 below the mean of Octo-
Der averages for the past ten years.

Another use For skimmilk.

The daily papers during the past
week have described in rather glowing
language a new process by which skim
milk can be made into substitute for
eggs. Much of the enthusiasm with
which this product has been greeted by
the papers may be attributed to the ig-
norance of the average reporter on dairy
subjects and to the wish to make good
readable article. The manufacture of
casein into a substitute for natural milk
is not by any means new. 1t has been
tried at intervals for many years, and,
although success has been attained, the
question of cost has always prevented
its competition with either whole or
skim milk. 1t has been also we'll known
for several years that milk could be so
treated as to make in some degree sub
stitute for eggs but the nature of the
substitute is not such that it will re-
place successfully the egg in but few
particulars. 1t differs entirely in its
physical properties from egg albumen,
and consequently its action in cooking
is different. This does not mean that
there is not place for food product
like the one mentioned. If preparation
of milk can be placed on the market at
price that will enable people to make
a constant use of SO valuable food, it
would be of the greatest benefit both to
the consumer and the dairyman. There
is an immense quantity of valuab BILE food
in the form of skimmiIk going to waste
every year in the country, and large
number of poor people in the cities
would be only too glad to make use of
the article if it could be put within
their reach. The man who will do this
will be benefactor both to the city
man and the dairyman, and it may be
that this is the first step in this direc-
ton. We hope so.--Hoard's Dairyman.
Gravity or DiIution SeparatOrs.
A recent bulletin by Professor Wing
of Cornell university gives the results
of some trials with what are sold under
the names of dilution or gravity sepa-
rators. The plan of the companies max
ing these SO called dilution or gray
ity separators is to keep all references
to their system out of the dairy papers
and depend upon travelling agents to
sell the apparatus to the farmers. The
plan of dilution was proposed some
years ago and shown, according to Pro-
fessor Wing, to be considerable of an
advantage when the milk is set at 60
degrees F., but that it does not take the
place of ice water. The claims made by
these companies for their apparatus are
extravagant and were not borne out by
careful experiments. Although the ma
chimes were called separators, there
was nothing about them emitting them
to such name, as they were simply
tin cans with few fixtures. When
tried according to directions, it was
found the results were not equal to
those obtained by the Cooley creamer
or other deep setting systems and were
no better than the results from the old
fashioned shallow pan system. Several
tests were also made of skimmilk from
farmers using these cans, with an aver
age result Of per cent of fat remaining
unseparated. New York Produce Re-

Feeding whey.

Whey is valuable feed for hogs.
There are about pounds of solids in
100 pounds, and that quantity of whey
fed properly in combination with other
feeds should produce two pounds of in
crease in live weight. Whey is poor
diet when fed alone, although hogs will
live on it and gain IN weight Whey
may be turned to lard, but it does not
give good results when fed alone. To
young, growing pigs it may be fed with
profit on clover pasture. The use of a
field in that way puts it in a capital
condition for the growth of a crop of
Indian corn for fodder purposes the fol-
lowing year. Whey should be fed in
sweet and clean condition. A clean and
comparatively sweet whey is wholesome,
whereas a very sour whey is dangerous.
Often its use is injurious to the swine.
The whey tank at a cheese factory
should be above ground, and for the
sake of the value of the whey for the
production of pork the tank should be
cleaned thoroughly at least once week.
Indian corn, ground or unground,
should not be fed alone with whey. 1t
Is Improbable in that combination, and
results in the production of very fat
bacon. a good mixture would be fa)
0ne-third shorts, or bran, (b) one-third
ground oats. peas, barley, wheat, mix
ed or single, and To- one-third ground
Indian corn. The best results from In
dian corn are obtained when it is fed in
combination with glzimmiIk or butter
milk, which supplies the flesh forming
materials in which the corn is deficient.

MILK IN BRITAIN.


bome Interesting Figures on the Tn
crease of Business.
In the interesting letter on the agri-
cultural outlook which Sir James
Blyth addressed to the London Times
a very important point is brought out
in reference to the development of the
milk trade. He writes as follows
The development of the dairy in
dustry in the United Kingdom is a
striking case in point, and in the mat
ter of milk alone its growth has been
enormous. The subject was discussed in
an interesting and careful analysis of
milk products by Mr.. R. Henry Rev in
The journal of the Royal Agricultural
Society for 1892, wherein, after the best
methods of computation available, the
average quantity of milk consumed per
head of the population in 1890 was
found to be so quarts. From similar
data and other information / have no
hesitation in assessing the consumption
of milk seven years later at so quarts
per head for every man, woman and
child in the kingdom in 1897, which if
it reach the public at the low price of
threepence quart is equivalent to a
total for milk, all home produce, of no
less than $40, 900, 600, sum, roughly
speaking, equal to the whole wheat bill
of the United Kingdom, of which three
fourths come from abroad Pursuing
like methods with regard to the greater
production of butter in this country-a
result attributable in no small measure
to the example and encouragement of
dairy associations, creameries and kim
bred societies in Great Britain and Ire
land--as against six pounds estimated
to have been consumed by every indi-
vidual in the kingdom seven years
previously, in 1890, the consumption in
1897 averaged ten pounds per head of
the population, approximating total
payment for butter, all home produce,
of EGO, 600, 600 last year. After availing
myself of all accessible sources of in
formation (as we'll as comforting with
some of the best authorities on the sub

THREE DEAD AND SEVERAL HURT

or the Dead One Was a Servant Girl
Who Sacrificed Her Own Life in Or
der TO Warn others, and Hcr Escape
Was Cut or.
New York, Dec. 21.-A fierce fire
started in the handsome house at 260
West Seventy-t third street, occupied by
Charles H. Raymond, general agent of
the Mutual Life Insurance company,
at an early hour yesterday morning,
which resulted In the death Of three
persons and the serious injury Of sew
eral others.
The dead are: Mrs. Charles H. Ray
mond, IS years old death resulted from
compound fracture Of the leg and in
ternal injuries. Mrs. Victoria Under
wood, of GAINESVILLE, O.. sister of Mrs.
Raymond, jumped from third story
window. Harriet Fee, domestic, burn

Injured: Charles H. Raymond, go
years; shock, overcome by smoke. Will
lam Doerr, 80 years. conductor; injured
about the body, scalp wound. William
Ferguson, 36 years butler face lacer-
ated, overcome by smoke. ~
The fire started In the basement, and
in few minutes the lower part Of the
house was eWeloped In flames. There
was panic, and Mrs. Victoria Under
wood, Mrs. Raymond's younger sis
ter, who had come here from Ohio to-
spend the Christmas holidays, jumped
from the third story window and was
killed almost instantly. William
Doefr. Il conductor, who had run to
assist in the rescue, among many
Others and who was ascending lad
der to try to rescue Mrs. Underwood,
was struck by her body as she fell
and knocked to the pavement below.
He struck an iron railing that sur
rounded the house and was seriously
injured.
Mrs. Raymond. who occupied room
on the second floor, was assisted to the
window by her husband and stood on
the sill, panic stricken and calling for
help. Two firemen went rapidly up
scaling ladders, while people on the
street shouted to the Raymonds not
to jump. They were so confused and
frightened and half suffocated that
they seemed not to know what they
were doing.
AS the fremen neared the window
Mrs. Raymond stumbled and fell. Her
night dress caught In rung of the
ladder and her body whirled around as
it fell to the tagged area. She was
picked up unconscious and taken to
Roosevelt hospital, where she died last
night.
Harriet Fee, a domestic, who had
run upstairs at the first alarm to arouse
the persons sleeping in the house. was
unable to get to the street again, and
was burned to death.
Mr. Raymond himself was rescued
and taken to Roosevelt hospital where
1t was found that he was suffering
great deal from having inhaled flames
and smoke.
1t is claimed by the authorities that
the casualties resulted by reason of
panic. = The house was supplied witha
fire escapes and the tiremen were early
at the scene.
