seemingly satisfied, whatever the
contribution may be.
He has formal speech of con-
graduation of which the newly made
man and wife are always the recipi-

for years without variation, and to
many it is a twice-told tale, concIud-
ing with an eulogy to the bride, her
extreme beauty, and the good for
tune Of the groom in winning her.
Twelve Industrious years in the

5000 persons are ready to rise up
and call him bIessed-or the reverse.

CURING 4 KICKING COW.
Opinion by an Experienced Dairyman
That the Habit Cannot Be
Entirely Overcome

Every once in while one sees in
an agricultural paper an article on
how to cure kicking cows. With q
kicking COW that has the habit we'll
formed, no art will avail, at least
when there is new mixer. On this
point John Stins0n in writing to the
Farmers Review says: I have handled
q great many kicking COWS, and am
absolutely of the opinion that COW
must become acquainted with her
mixer before he can even hope to
cure her of the propensity, and then
the cure will exist only so long as the
mixer remains with her. Whenever a
new mixer appears the habit will re-
vive. I have known of kicking COWS
that have been MIXED by the same
mixer for years and would not allow
themselves to be MIXED by any other
person unless they were so thorough
ly tied up with ropes that they could
not move. The best method of curing
a COW of the kicking is to use gentle
ness. The mixer must develop the
power to hold his temper under all
conditions. Even then, If the cow is
like some that I have known, he will
find it to his advantage to restrain
her by rope put around her legs in
the form of figure eight" This
should be placed around the legs just
above the bend Of the legs. The rope
should be looped at one end and the
loose end passed through the loop,
completing the figure eight. The rest
oi the loose end can lie in the lap of
the mixer. The friction Of the rope
in the loop will hold the figure eight
in place, and II the COW attempts to
kick, it will give only so gradually
that she cannot deliver a blow. II it
is made fast she will feel herself un-
der restraint and perhaps become ex-
cited and throw herself. I found this
to be one Of the best methods for saw
ing tho mixer from the kick of the
COW,

IN DAIRY BARN
System Which Will Render a Stable
. Which Is Not Too Old Per-
fectly Sanitary.

Many farmers do not seem to appre-
ciate the difference between ventilation
and sanitation. There is little use OF
spending money, for ventilating tlues in
an old, filthy, plank-aoor barn. Usually
in such places liquid manure has soaked
through the floors for years, while the
ceilings are open and covered with cob
webs. Such stable as this gets change
of air, but the filth is so great that it is
always offensive. Ventilation is not an
antidote for uncleanliness.
Probably nine out of ten stables feel
quickly the effect of strong wind or
low ering of temperature. Nothing ex-
cept thorough insulation or double walls
will remedy this trouble. The cement

Toggenberg goat, it is stated, is rich
in quality and keeps quite az well as
cows milk. It sells in Switzerland
for about 3hc quart. The food of
the goat in summer consists of grass

and outside walls, 1 believe it safe
thing. Several years use of henhouse
60 constructed leads me to advise it for
a COW stable. With concrete floor and
wall there will be no trouble from rats.
About seven pounds of water are
thrown off daily from the skin and lungs
of an averaged-sized COW. Therefore,
there is large volume of water to carry
out through the flues. The secret, says
H. E. Cook, in American Agriculturist,
Is to keep this moisture in the form of
vapor until it reaches the open air. Car
rying away moisture is not the only
function of perfect ventilation. If the
moisture is removed, carbonic acid gas
will go with it.
Wood, being q non-conductor' Of
heat, is the most satisfactory material
for making flues. In constructing them
within the building, used only one
solid wall, made of two thicknesses of
match boards with tar paper between.
The wall was perfect tight and no side
air currents could form, interfering
with the circulation. These fues must
be as we'll built as chimney. In fact
the whole principle works like great
box stove, with perfect draft and pipe.
The size of the fues must depend upon
the animals housed, and not upon the
air space inclosed. find it safe rule
to have a square foot of area for fue

The intake flues should not exceed six
inches in diameter, and can be con-
structed of any material at hand. They
should be placed as shown in the illus
tration, upon each side of the building.
Air coming into the stable under these
conditions is better circulated than if
coming from one side only. In my ex-
perience l am unable to give a safe
wo, king rule for these small flues, but
they do the business. The location Of
thu barn in its relation to atmospheric
p1 assure has a marked effect upon the
inflow. Probably about half the area
of the outflow tues would be a safe
WORKING rule, and under control. These
Nues should not be less than three feet
