VENTILATED DAIRY BARN.

tie in poorly ventilated stables has
been cattle diseases, and no doubt is
one of the causes of tuberculosis,
which has destroyed many herds in
this state. Much of the poor milk
which goes to the creameries is caused
by the conditions in the stable.
The best material with which to build
q stable is pine lumber. I would not
build a stone stable. They are often
damp. I would use matched lumber
for the walls of the stable, putting it
on both sides of the studding so as to
make a dead-air space. would build
the stable only nine feet high, and so
keep the warm air down where the
cows are; 500 cubic feet of space is
sufficient for each animal if the stable
is we'll ventilated.
You can build cement floor as
cheap as you can build plank floor,
and it is much more durable. You
can have plank for the cattle to lie
on if you wish. For the foundation
of the cement floor nothing is better
than cobbles, or small stones, grout-
ed. For the top layer use Portland
cement and sand in proportions of
two to one. Be sure the sand is clean
and sharp. Make the top layer about
two inches thick, and do not make it
too smooth.
The King system of ventilation is
now acknowledged to be the best, and
is explained by the cut.
The outlake flues are &C c. with an
opening at I'd" provided with door
or some means of opening and clos
ing. The fues have their opening
about 18 inches from the floor, pro-
vided with damper, one on each
side, passing up through the ceiling
and out at the highest point of the
barn. They can be built of wood or
galvanized iron. Wood is preferable
on account of being nonconductor
Of heat.
They must be tight and thoroughly
insulated in order to maintain a tenn
perature of the air high enough to
prevent condensation. One flue, one
foot by two feet inside measure, will
be necessary for every 10 to ~ cows.
The intake fue "E F." as shown with
an opening at a." with the outlet
at 3D." need not be over six or seven
inches in diameter, and is also pro-
vided with hampers. No definite rule
can be given for the number, as much
will depend upon openings near the
doors of the barns.
For the best results the stable
should be ceiled with matched lumber
as closely as living room, and then
provide all fresh air through these
intake flues. Usually, under these
two of these small intakes
should be provided for each large
outtake fiue.-Ohio Farmer.

MODEL COW STABLES.
Supplied with an Approved Sys.
tenn Of Ventilation.

Mr.. H. E. Cook, of Denmark, N. T.,
is one of the conductors of the New
York institutes. He has given much
study to barn building and ventilation.
He keeps on his farms in northern New
York about 100 cows. Wishing to build
new barns on the most up TO- date and
improved principles, he investigated
all the best plans for barns and sys-
TEN of ventilation, and then built a
barn which he finds satisfactory in
every way, and is thus well equipped
to discuss the subject, and the follow
ing are some of the points he makes
in his address on Barn Building and
Barn Ventilation" at the Institutes:
A few years ago, before farmers be-
gan to build warm stables, when the
most of the stables were so open that
there was always plenty of pure air
for the cattle, we heard but little
about tuberculosis. Farmers began
to build stables that were very tight
AMI warm, but they gave little atten-
ton to the subject of ventilation, and
the result of close confinement of cat

The Judges Narrow Escape.

A southern judge, who is man OF
much dignity and presence, lost his
father in infancy, and as small boy,
often received correction at the hands
of darby on the place, in whom his
mother had great confidence. This
trust was well placed, and the boy
grew to manhood with strong affec-
ton for Uncle 'Rast" firmly planted
in his heart. As years went on, the
old negro took an ever growing pride
in the successes and honors which
came to young Marse Gene but
usually tried to hide his satisfaction
from it's object. "Well, Uncle 'Rast,"
said the judge one day, after a par
ticularly brilliant speech at q dinner
had been printed and lauded far and
near, .'how did you like what I said
on the school question at that dim
ner last week? Did you approve Of
my views?" ''Um-m,' said the old
colored man, blinking up at the tall
judge, 81 reckon you know well
'nough, Marse Gene, dat if yo'd said

FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valuable sugEestions Condensed
from = Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment station.

Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last sum-
mer from the attacks of borers. Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost.
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk is
dead and black in irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark is
the borer's burrow filled with worm
dust. If a large spot of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon filled with a mushroom
growth which develops the fruitine
portion on the outside of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but tree that is
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot.
The best thing to do is to keep the tree
free from borers and other injuries.
The land should be kept free from
grass and weeds and we'll cultivated.
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings that
can be applied to prevent borers. A
good wash, however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply and
will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects.
A one-pound can of concentrated lye
dissolved in two or three gallons of
water makes very good tree wash.
Another good wash can be made of
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pint
carbolic acid, and two gallons soft
soap. These washes can easily be APP
piled with an old whitewash brush or a
swab made of old rags tied on the end
of stick. The wash should be ap-
piled two or three times to the trunk
and large limbs during the spring and
early summer.

sensible Method Of Dairyinr,

At recent farmers institute at
Knapp, Wis, one of the points
brought out was that the most profit.
able method of dairying in Wisconsin
is for farmers to procure small sep
arators, separate their cream by
tread-mill power at home, preserve
the cream from day to day in re-
frigerators, and deliver it t. the
factory once or twice week. =
factory for this work can be con-
structed very cheaply without any
separating machinery, and the farm
er not only saves the expense of de-
livering the milk daily, but has the
warm skim milk to feed.

If all the tired women and all the

dies who have spoken right to the
point, how many invalids would be
prevented and how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
flabby mucous membranes of the di-
gestive organs, Peruna reaches tho
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-
ments. Peruna is an absolute specific
in these cases. The women everywhere
are praising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such multitude of women.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
