Ventilation of the .Baru,

The ventilation of barns is some.
thing that is never too carefully con-
sidered when planned, writes "A. g.
Loftless in Farm, Stock and Home.
There should be an abundance Of fresh
air, and at the same time sufficient
heat. The method of ventilation by
open doors and windows Is unsatisfac-
tory in cold weather. The fresh air
and heat are not equally distributed
in the stable. In my opinion the best
method of ventilation is to have flues
from the stable, running up through
the haymow and through the roof.
These flues should start about one
foot from the stable floor: should be
located II possible in the cleaning al
leys. 1t is better not to have the f1ues
run up the outside walls, for then they
are cold, and cons eg".utly do not draw
we'll. Tic fues sk.;lld terminate in
one or two cupolas ON the roof, when
they will work on the same principle
as chimneys; the higher they are the
stronger will be the draught. Another
method is to use the hay chutes for
ventilators. They are built three feet
square from the floor of the stable up
through the haymow and then through
the roof, terminating in cupola on
the ridge. There should be doors on
one or two sides Of the chute, one
above the other, so that the hay may
be easily pitched into the chutes: these
doors should always be kept closed
when the chutes are not used for car
rying hay below. The chutes should of
course always be left empty, and the
draught can be regulated by the doors
near the stable floor. The chutes
should be made from dressed and
matched lumber and be smooth inside.
The advantage of using the hay chutes
for ventilating is the saving of space
and material. They draw very well
on account of being so large. The
fresh air should be let into the stable
through flues under the stable floor,
leading from the outside and termi-
mating in a perpendicular angle in or
near the manger of the cattle. There
should be one fresh-air fue terminal
ing in the partition between each two
rows. These flues should be Axe inches,
| made of common boards. The inlet
| of the fresh-air flue should be provid-
ed with an elbow at the outside of the
building, to prevent wind from blow
| ing directly into it.

IN. de Villeroche waits for you,"
said Rosine quietly, and it hurt her
poor loving heart to say these words to
her rival.
Hector, o Hector!" and Helene

knew Helene's name was to be called
on the morrow!
Helene escaped unnoticed, even Elise
in the dark passages failing to detect
the fraud, for Elise respected what she
thought was Rosine's grief and did not
speak to her.
And when, that same night, Rosine
was bundled off to the Conciergerie
dungeons none knew of the substitu-
ton in the hurry for more victims.

Important to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria nave been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarze the public with the sig
nature of Chas H. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeit
ing the Castoria trade mark. This counter
feiting is a crime not only against the proprie-
tors OF Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be careful to
see that Cnstoria bears the sigma ture Of Chas
H. Fletcher, if they would guard the health OF
their children. Parents and mothers, in par
ticular, ought to carefully examine the
Castoria advertisements which have been ap-

Value of Skimmilk.-The magnitude
and value of the skimmilk in our dali

conservative estimate would place j;
at $50 1000 600 to $75,000,000 annually,
with possibility of exceeding $780,
600 900. 1t not infrequently occurs
that under judicious and intelligent:
system of utilizing this product, higher
net returns are realized than from the
butter fat. In many cases, however,
the value of the skimmilk receives but
little if any consideration. The fact
that the value of SO important prod

lavish endowment of favorable dairy

Teaching the Calf to Drink.-When
first trying to teach the calf to drink
put two fingers in his mouth, and with
the right hand gently push his head
into the pail. 1t is natural for calves
to look up for their milk, and this
seems to be the most difficult part in
teaching them to drink. After they
begin to suck the fingers and draw
the milk, the fingers may be gradually
withdrawn from the mouth. Most
calves will learn to drink in a couple
of days, but once in while there will
be a stubborn one, and although it
seems most cruel they have to be starv-
ed to it.-Ex.

Over-ripening Causes White Specks.

Over-ripening Causes White Specks.
A theory advanced by Prof. Wing in
his ook on milk and Its Products"
regaro,ss white specks in butter is
worthy OF attention by buttermakers,
says Pacific Rural Press. We give t
for their information, suggesting that
over-ripening is an evil outside of the
white specks, as the butter will sooner
lose it's high, quick flavor and so off.
When too much Tactic acid is developed
in the cream, the casein is firmly coag
ulated, and in the process of churning
is broken up into minute granules,
which become incorporated into the
butter in the form of white specks or
flakes of casein. Such white specks be-
sides injuring the appearance Of the
butter, greatly detract from it's keep
ing qualities, as the putrefactive fer
mentations soon set up in them and
give rise to disagreeable flavors. Dan
ger from this source is liable to be
present if the coagulation of the cream
has gone so far that any whey has sep
arated. The cream should in all cases
be churned before the ripening process
has reached this point. 1t was former
ly supposed and is still generally be-
lieved, that the production of an ex-
cess of Tactic acid in ripening tends to
loss of butter, from the fact that the
acid dissolved or "cut" the fat, causing
it to disappear. This has been shown
both theoretically and practically, not
to be the case. Tactic acid has no ap-
probable effect upon fat, SO far as dis
solving or decomposing it is concerned,
and cream may be held until the whey
has separated to the full extent with
out any loss in the amount of butter
that it is possible to churn from it..
The chief evil effect in over-ripening
is in the production of strong and I'M
desirable flavors accompanying the
undue production of Tactic acid.
