Bad Teeth and Cancer.

Walter Whitehead, the well known
English surgeon. believes it possible
that cancer may be due to bad teeth.
Addressing the students of the Vic

drain, trap and ventilate house for
a man with bad teeth was waste of
money. for he polluted the purest air
as he breathed it and contaminated the
most wholesome food as he ate it.

Open-Air Exercise.

By a close observation through fifty
wears of experience in the breeding,
feeding and rearing of stock the Editor
of the Farmer has become confirmed in
some things that have never been prov
ed by the scales on his own farm or
written in bulletins from the Stations.
One of these is that measure of exer-
else in the open air even in the winter
season promotes the health of the AMI
mails at the barn and gives them strength,
vigor, hearty appetite and good oil.
gestion, and keeps them better prepared
for the fultlment of every function for
which they are kept and fed. Even
COWS will secrete more of milk from
their feed for having to go rods away
from the barn down to yonder sheltered
valley to get their drink from the spring
flowing pure and refreshing from the
bowels of the earth. With what a relish
they grasp the feed on being returned to
their quarters in the barn, perfect speci-
mems of health and vigor!
Hence we have frequently urged npon
the attention of such of the readers OF
the Farmer as have the care OF stock on
their hands in winter the value TO their
thrift of open-air exercise II they would
have strong and vigorous. animals. 1t
is for the reason that it is good for them,
that they shake their heads and take
turn around the yard though the day be
cold as they return To their stalls.

Warmth and Ventilation.

| 1T is important that the cow barn
should be kept warm and comfortable
during the days of winter. 1t is equally
important that it be not too warm, as
this causes the cows to sweat and the
pores of their skin to become open to
such an extent that they catch cold very
easily when leaving the stable" says a
writer in the Farmers Tribune. Drafts
in The barn should be guarded against,
still fresh air must be admitted contin-
uOusly and provision should be made for
the escape of foul air.
Just what temperature is most salts
factory is question not definitely set
tied. Some dairymen consider that the
temperature of the COW stable should
not be far from 55 degrees F., while
Others think there is no harm in having
it below the freezing point. Perhaps
both OF these views are extremes and a
happy medium would be more congenial
to the cows and more profitable to the
owner. We do not think il wise to
allow the temperature to fall below
freezing point at any time, but would
prefer to have it range between IS and
Is degrees F.
"A good dairy COW requires a large
amount of food. This food has to be
digeSted and assimilated. The digestion
of food means the liberation of a certain
amount of heat that must be thrown off
from the body. If the temperature of
the stable is too high the removal Of
this heat is comparatively slow and
consequently digestion and assimilation
correspondingly checked. Cows to
yield the greatest profit should be fed
all the food they can make use of eco
nomically, and for that reason the stable
should not be warmer than necessary to
make the animal comfortable.
1t is not, of course, practical to keep
dry cows in one barn and heavy mixers
in another. Theoretically, however,
this would no doubt, be more nearly in
conformity with ideal conditions. A
COW that is dry should only be fed
maintenance ration, and the smaller
that ration can be made and still main
tain the cow in perfect health and nor
NAL bodily condition, the better it is,
and since warm stable reduces the
consumption of food, dry cows may
have their stables ten or twelve degrees
warmer than those producing milk.
with the fattening steer the problem
is different He is being fed fattening
ration and is forced to eat as much as
possible. This means the production of
enormous quantities of heat and hence a
lower temperature is required by such
animals.
"To digest and assimilate food prop
erly. and to retain the blood laden with
the necessary amount of oxygen, an
abundance of pure air is needed. Cat
tie should never be forced TO breathe
the same air over and over again, and
this fact cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. Unless the blood is kept pure
the animal cannot remain healthy, and,
therefore, not thrifty. Lack of ventila-
ton shows itself in a rough coat of hair
and hidebound condition of the skin.
Where this condition is kept up for any
length of time it is often followed by
arrangement of the action of the kid
news aud costive condition of the bow
els, which finally results in general de-
bility of the animal. Mirror and

The Cows Opinion of the silo.

Laying aside, for time, our own ideas
of the economy, money value and con-
venience of the silo, as contemporary
remarks, let us ask the COW for an
opinion on the silo and silage feeding.
What would she say? 1t requires no
great stretch of the imagination to hear
her answer thus:
That tall, round building which my
master calls silo, l consider the most i'm
portant on the farm.
There is more solid feed packed in
side that round building without win
dows than it is possible to place in any
other structure on the farm.
With careful feeding, this feed will
last me until grass comes next spring.

not learn to walk well he will also be
lacking in the other gaits that commend
and give value to horses either for ,suiky

Farm Stock Journal is of the opinion
that if, twenty years ago, all the farm
ers in any one township had concluded
TO raise horses of one breed and type

and had indulged in the friendly rivalry
to achieve excellence that such situa
ton would engender, what a snap those
farmers would be having to-day!
