Every campaign the la5orer realizes
that he needs better laws, laws which
do not give the monopoIies the legal
right to rob him. He needs free silver; ;
an increase in the volume OF money ;
an income tax which will prevent the
accumulation of vast fortunes, and
other laws which will put labor on an
equal footing with capital. The white
laborer realizes this; the eolored la0orer
realizes it. But monopoly which roos
them both sneers at them. ''They are

The Air Of the stable.

Too little attention Is paid to the air
Df the stable. Yet there are two rea.
sons why the air should be kept pure,
FIRST, for the purpose Of preserving the
health OF the COWS; second, that milk
drawn In the stable may not be polluted
ny the bad air. In the spring and sum
mcr and fall 1t is an easy matter to
thoroughly air the stable in day time.
Open all the doors and all the windows,
letting In the sun as well as the wind.
The work Of the latter will be the more
effective II care has been taken to keep
the manure cleaned out, and IL arrange
ments have been made to have the
urine run off into tanks below or out
side of the barn. The less the air Is
allowed to be polluted by these means
the easier will it be to keep the whole
inside OF the stable clean and sweet
smelling.
One of the greatest obstacles TO pure
air is the usual system of handling the
manure. That Is, a hole Is cut In the
side OF the barn through which to
throw out the droppings. The pile on
the outside accumulates from month to
month, and by spring has become n
source OF foul smells that penetrate
into the stable through all the cracks,
windows and doors. The manure pile

Angora Goata.-For several years
past, in many of the western states
ana also in sections farther east. ey-
pcrimcnts have been made with the
Angora goats and the results indicate
tina the breeding of them will be
profitable in any section where sheep
are successfully raised. These goats
breed and mature about the same time
as sheep and require much the same
treatment. The fleece OF the Angora
goat is worth about 20 per cent more
than that of sheep, and their flesh is
considered by cpicurcs as superior to
mutton. They do sell better than
sheep, as the meat Is worth about the
same price and the pelt much more.
