Facts for Our Farmers.

and long, as that Of the buffalOs that
once roamed our plains, may endure
much more of cold and wind than the
dairy COW. The polar bear prefers
his bed on a cake of ice to feather
bed, and the ST. Bernard dog would
rather lie in a snOwbank than by the
stove or on the straw, but we think
the dairy breeds of cattle have little
liking for cold weather
The one thing that we think quite
as important to them as either fresh
air or exercise is that of which they
are most frequently deprived in the
old-fashioned stables of those who be-
lieve in having them out of doors
during the day, and it may be that it
is so necessary to their well-being
that few hours outing may do them
good enough to cOunterbalance the in

Sunlight is as necessary to the
thrifty and healthy growth of animals

where they are kept should he we'll
lighted upon the south side, not only
by having plenty of glass, but that
| glass kept clean enough to allow the
sun to penetrate it freely. We have
seen glass so opaque with cobwebs
and dirt as to admit only enough light
to allow one to grope his way about
in semi-darkness. The dim religious
! light" of the ancient and some modern
churches, is not good enough for a
barn. We do not care for blue glass
or other stained glass, but want a
clear. clean, transparent glass, that
will let in the full rays of the sun.
Even double sashes of glass now cost
but little more for the space they oc-
cupy than the siding and painted clap
boards, or a single sash with curtain
to shut out the cold at night.
| Not every one can afford new barns
with the modern improvements, but
many old ones could be so changed at
small expense as to make the stables
much warmer and lighter, and when
| this is done they will be found a bet

barnyard, when the temperature is
below freezing, or when there is a
cold wind or rain.
With grains at present prices, there
| is no better economy than to keep the
cattle in comfortably warm stables.
It saves food, and stimulates better
milk production. With sunlight and
pure air it prevents disease, and for
young and growing stock it gives a
thrifty growth that cannot be obtain
ed in the barnyard. 1t protects from
accidents which may occur when one
animal is quarrelsome or tyrannical
over weaker ones, and if the arrange
ments are such that they must be let
out to drink, make the hours of out
ing as brief as possible, letting out a
few at time seeing that all have a
chance to get to the trough before
they are put in and others let out.

Mr.. Girard. that the milkmen caught

his leg The fugitive shot again at the
sheriff, and running fire was kept up
until both revolvers were emptied Two
shots from the sheriff's weapon hit the sus-
pect. During the fight the desperadoes scat
tered jewelry, watches. chains. rings and
knives. All were heavily armed. The
wounded man will recover
