Common Sense Stable Sanitation.

The three essentials in building a
COW stable are light, temperature and
ventilation. Stables built north and
south and provided with plenty of
windows will receive sun nearly all
day. This is important, as sunlight
Is the best germicide known. Build
the barns so that the direct rays can
get in. Otherwise it will be impossi-
BILE to keep the stable in best condi-
tion. OF course a large amount of
window surface means cold stable.
This can be avoided by using double
windows or hanging curtains inside
the single windows, which practically
amounts to double windows. The TEN.
perature Of the cow stable must be
kept uniform. | used to think that a
temperature of so degrees was about
right, but now keep my stables from
54 to 60 degrees. know this is high,
but | believe we get better results
than from lower temperature. Don't
build a stable too high, as the higher
the ceiling the more difficult to keep
the barn warm and to keep the COWS
from taking cold. have figured out
that 500 cubic feet of air space for
each animal is sufficient. My own
stable is 36 feet wide and about 80
feet long 1t contains stalls three and
one-half feet wide placed so that the
heads of the cattle are toward the
wall. This makes cleaning less laborl.
GUS and in every way like this ar
rangement better than having the
heads toward the middle of the build
ing.
In making floors for cow stables I
like a cement floor. The objections
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-08-12

to cement are that it is cold and Sip
perry. The way to get around the first
objection is to bed the cattle literally
and the second to roughen the last
coat of cement before it has set. This
will prevent slipping. Provide three
or four box stalls in every barn.
Ventilation of the stable should be
sufficient to carry out all moisture.
The tube system suggested by Prof
essor King is undoubtedly the most
practical. These tubs must be tight,
else they will not cause circulation

caves, be carried up into the rafters

The latest aspirant for honors as a
universal language, the successor Of
Volapuk, which was agitated some
years ago, is known as Esperanto.
This is an artificial language, due to
DR.. Zamenhof, a Russian llnguist.
There is no doubt that, despite the eX-
tensive translation of valuable foreign
articles appearing in the technical
press, in these days when every manu-
featuring industry is carried on along
scientific and chemical lines, wider
interchange of ideas and discoveries
is of the utmost Importance. Such is
the mission of a universal language,
one In which any scholar would be
able to describe and explain his dis
coveries so as to have a universal
audience.
Esperanto grammar is said to con-
sist of 16 simple rules, without any
exceptions whatever and there are but
IL notifications of the termination of
words. 1t is claimed that with 10
minutes instruction in the grammar a
novice can translate Esperanto with
the aid of a dictionary only, while a
months study suf1ices to enable him to
write or speak it, the latter operation
being simplified by phonetic spelling.
1t is said that $4,000 people in conti-
mental Europe have taken up its study.

needs in order to start in business is q

SOME VIRGINIA BLUE LAWS.
Puritan New England Not the Only
Starp Com IN ealth.

Puritan New England NOT the only
Storm Commonwealth.
The official public tiogging of women
in Virginia has aroused much unfavor-
able comment and many bitter re-
marks about "chivalry in the Old Do
minion." AS matter Of fact, says
the New York Tribune. the incident is
nothing more than a mild revival of
the "blue laws" Of Colonial times
laws surprising in severity any at
tributed 20 Connecticut or any other
Puritan colony. 1t has long been a
by-word that In Connecticut a man
was forbidden to kiss his wife on Sun
day. But In Virginia any young woman
who was guilty of Irritation or who en-
couraged more than one man to pay
her sentimental attention was liable to
be flogged! 1t was forbidden to speak
evil Of dignitaries in New England;
but in Virginia If one ventured to crit
icise the governor he was put into the
pillory. The straitlace righteousness
Of the Puritans has been made fun of;
but in Cavalier Virginia it was forbid
den to "disparage a minister" to take
voyage on Sunday save go to church,
or to fire a gun on Sunday, excepting
to shoot an Indian. That the shooting
of Indians, of course in defense of the
colonists, was considered a proper
function on the Sabbath is shown by
the fact that every head of family
was required. under penalty to bring
.,y.t = 10 oh, 1o,- n
gun and plenty of ammunition. 1t is
interesting to recall too, that speculat-
ing in the markets by buying fu-
lures" was sternly prohibited, under
penalty of fine, Imprisonment and the
pillory. Since in old time in the
fogged for flirting, there is no especial
incongruity in applying the same pun
ishment to women convicted of gross
immoralities. Nevertheless, the best
judgment of mankind must be that it
was a performance which reflected no
credit for those responsible for it.
There are those who approve of the
whipping post for the punishment of
wife beaters and for oertain other male
offenses. But the official fogging of
women. no matter how much they may
have forfeited their title to woman
hood, is altogether revolving. 1t is pain
full to recall that it was sanctioned
and ordered by the grim pioneers Of
Wyatt's and Yeardleys time That 1t
should be done for any cause in the
first year of the goth century Is a
shame for which Virginia may well
blush.

CERMANY'S NEW OIL ENGINE.
1t Opetates without the Use of Boilers,
Furnaces or Chimneys.

1t Opetates without the Use of Boilers,
Furnaces or Chimneys.
Great things are expected of the
Diesel engine, the latest thing in Ger
man engineering, the first working
of which in England a London Ex
press representative was permitted to
see at Guidebridge, near Manchester,
recently.
Economy in fuel and space Is the
chief merit of the Diesel commencing
it to makers of automobiles and small
marine craft as an engine with fu-
ture. Its claim to originality lies in
the fact that it works with crude OIL
without smell or dirt, perfectly con-
suming all the products of combus-
tion. Unlike other oil engines, it re-
quires no ignition point. Compressed
air from cylinders starts the Diesel.
Oil and air are then admitted to the
cylinder, when the compression of the
air by the return stroke so raises the
temperature that the oil flashes and
the forward stroke is delivered.
The exhaust is perfectly clean and
free from odor. Thus the claim made
Tor the Diesel is that no boilers, fur
naces or chimneys are required. Great
economy of space and fuel is effected,
as it can be used with any kind of
liquid fuel or furnace gas-the waste
product of blast furnaces. Hopes are
entertained that the Diesel will be used
on very large scale, those who are
introducing it to England claiming
for it the ability to run vessel as
large as the Oceanic. Already an or
der has been placed by the French
government for an engine of this type,
to be used in a submarine boat.
If the Diesel frees the streets from
the smell of the motor car and yacht
decks. and ladies' dresses from the Gin
ders of steamer funnel, the German
inventor will have claim on the graft
tude of mankind. If, as seems likely,
it will encourage the establishment Of
small plants in rural districts, where
gas is not obtainable and coal is dear,
It may do much more than this for in
dustrial England.

Planting the Corn Crop.

The corn crop is the most important
and valuable of all staple crops on
the farm, as the fodder is considered
equal to the grain as stock food on
all we'll managed farms. Corn is a
gross feeder and will take any amount
of manure. 1t thrives best when the
land has been plowed to the greatest
depth consistent with the nature of
the soil and then well narrowed. 1t
Is better to use fertilizers broadcast
for corn rather than in the hill, and
a mixture of $50 pounds of nitrate Of
soda, 100 pounds sulphate of potash
and 25O pounds acidulated phosphate
rock, per acre, will be found excel
lent for corn. Unless given good cul-
tivation, however, corn will not pro-
duce the highest yield. Simply stir
ring the top soil with the cultvator
to the depth of two inches after the
corn plants are up has been found
better than deep cultivation by some,
but it is possible that many soils
should be worked deeper. The loose
top soil protects against drought,
while the frequent cultivation keeps
the grass and weeds under control.

An Easy Method of Growing Turnip'.

The great objection to growing tur-
pips on a large scale for stock is the
great amount of hard work required
in wedding. In growing by this new
plan the land is best plowed in the
fall and manured through the winter,
provided cut straw was used for lit
ter. If it is not convenient to use
piece of fall plowed ground, mellow
piece of land may be plowad this
spring, and surface manured immedi-
ately. If fine manure cannot be had,
/, plow under coarse manure with
gang plow about two inches deep.
After plowing and manuring, the
earlier in spring the better, the
ground must be well narrowed every
week until the time for sowing the
seed. Sow rutabagas or swedes from
June IS to 25 and turnips from June
20 to July /.
The grain drill may be used to SOW
the turnip seed. Close up some of
the drill holes so as to SOW % inches.
Sow about one pound of good seed per
acre. AS soon as the turnips are well
up go twice across the rows with
weeder to thin the plants. In weeks
time go over the ground again with
the weeder, always across the rows.
It is wonderful how the weeder thins
out the plants and destroys the weeds
with even more satisfaction than may
be done by hand. The number of
times the weeder my be used will
largely depend upon the thickness of
the plants in the row. There will be
little use for the horse cultivator, but
It may be used after the crop is sever
al inches high. A good way is to use
the horse cultivator and follow with
the weeder across the rows. Acid
phosphate is the best fertilizer for
the turnip crop, and should be applied
broadcast-J. A. Mcdonald, in New
England Homestead

Fertilizers may be used more than
once on crop. Unless heavy appli-
cations are made early in the season
more fertilizer should be applied later.
The kind of fertilizer must be consid-
cred, however. If nitrate of soda is
used early it will be found profitable
to use a little more when the crop is
nearly grown. The proportion of
moisture secured will have some in
fluence on the crop, for should the
season be very dry there may not be
enough moisture to dissolve the plant
food for the crop.

is to learn to take people at their best,
not their worst; to look for the divine,
not the human, in them; the beautiful,
not the ugly; the bright, not the dark;
the straight, not the crooked side.
A habit of looking for the best in
everybody, and of saying kindly in
stead of unkindly things about them.

An Important Garden Crop.

Lima beans make one of the most
important crops that is grown in a
garden. The bush varieties should be
planted for an early supply, but the
pole varieties are preferred by some
as a main crop. 1t is not too soon to
prepare the ground and apply the
manure, but the seed should not be
planted until the ground is quite
warm. In place Of poles wire fencing
may be used as supports.
