During tho last few years there has
been q great deal of discussion, in
both this country and in England, as
to the relative amount Of air space that
should be allowed to each animal in
the stable. Across the water the con
tention has been for spaces per animal
varying from $50 to, 1000 cubic feet.
Some Of the & "A de
cIafe tnak-1aeScpbic f6es1s . a 200
much. as the stables would have to be
Of enormous size to give each animal
the amount indicated. To an Ameri.
can farmer this does not seem much OF
a problem in itself. Even 1000 cubic
feet means only a cube ten fes in each
dimension. As many Of u barns are
built, each animal gets far more than
hat amount.
Take, for instance, the ordinary
American farmer that keeps two or
three horses and half a dozen lows.
His whole barn is practically at the
service Of his animals, SO far as their
breathing is concerned. The animals
have not only the whole space from
the feeding floor to the roof OF the
barn, but during much of the winter
they have the space made by the disap,
peariug hay, both on the scaffolds and
in the NOW. The American hay NOV
itself is m immense affair and the ali
space it equals would . to banisl
all necessity Of considering that par
ticular phase Of housing the stock.
But whatever the air space, we need
better ventilation. Many OF ous 6arns
are ventilated on the principle tina
warm air is necessarily foul and will
rise to the top Of the barn and escape
through q ventilator. That is a mis-
take. 1t is true that the warm air viii
rise and escape through the ventilator.
but it does not take the carbonic acit
gas with it. That is heavy and if it i.
taken out at all has to be sucked on
BY q ventilator running down close tt
tbe floor. Tho warm mir that rises has
been heated by the bodies Of the ami
mails and not by their breath, and tina
is the dir that we do notwant- to es

other member of that party will stand on
any new question twenty-four hours
ahead. AS evidence OF this the dispatches
