Walls Of stables.

The problem of what material to
use in the construction of stables is
one that confronts the farmer that
lis about to build a stable that he
wants to be permanent edifice.
There is some advantage in building
stable walls of stone or brick, or even
gravel, but usually that advantage is
more than compensated for by the
increase in the cost.
Wood is without doubt the warmest
material to use. especially if there
can be an air space between two
'thicknesses of the wood. The thermal
permeability Of wood is about 100 to
about 400 Of stone, cement and the
like. Brick also permits the trans
mission of heat quite readily and is
most seryiceable when there is an air
space between two layers of brick
Dead air has thermal permeability
Of about so, which gives it double the
value of wood as protection against
cold.
All materials like stone have the
advantage OF being non-combustible,
but this is not very great factor, as
most Of the fires in barns are serious
because Of the burning of the contents
Of the barns rather than Of the struc-
lures theAselyes, and stone walls win
not prevent the combustion of dry hay
inside.
The question of the material out OF
which the walls are to be constructed
must be settled by the cheapness and
abundance of certain materials in any
one neighborhood. The writer knows
of one locality where the farmers have
built their barns largely out Of boul-
ders left sy the glaciers. They consti.
tute the cheapest and best material in
that locality.

A Whole MIX Starter.

AS good results can be obtained
from whole milk starter as from skim.
milk starter. In my opinion the skim
milk starter is the safest to use. First,
for the reason that after it becomes
thick the skim-milk starter will show
whey sooner than the whole milk and
warns you of the danger Of its becom-
ing overripe; and, second any eff
fiayors or defects are more easily OBJ
served in a skip'-milk starter because
the cream In tbg whole milk starter
gives the whole milk starter creamy
flavor. which is rather catchy and
agreeable to taste and has tendency
OF covering up some Of the bad flavors.
The slzim-milk starter Is also so much
smoother and breaks up so much more
easily and does not have humps as is
the case in whole milk starter.-P. H.

After a week or two he got place as

gone into the hands of a receiver and
he was out Of job.
Next day he hustled again. He got

an Office on f street. The money
lender gave him a good place, but un-
fortunately on the afternoon Of

dropped dead. That left Dave" out

PUBLISHING OF THE BANNs.
Custom Dates Back to Early Days OF
the Christian Church.

Ine christian SnuTCns
The custom Of publishing the banns
of marriage dates back to the primi-
tive church, for Tertullan. who died
A. d, 24O, says that warning Of in
tended marriages was given among
the early Christians,
1t appears that the publication Of
banns was habitual in many places
long before there was any general
law on the subject, since Gregory Nv
(l198-1216) speaks of the banns being
given out in church, according to Gus
tom. The practice was introduced into
France about the ninth century, and
in 1176 was enforced in the diocese
Of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
ject in England was an order made in
the synod of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been
published in the church on three sew
eral Sundays or feast days This rule
was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran council,
held IN Rome in 1915.

Samples of "bog butter" are to be

samples are known to be at least $50
years old. Analyses made in Great
Britain show these samples TO be real
butter.

their analyses and physical properties
show them to be simply butter which

Effects OF English Stock Shows.
A factor that has done a great deal
for the English people in this respect,
is their excellent system Of breeding
and their fat stock shows. These
people get a great deal more good out
Of these shows, as a class, than do
our own people. 1t is sight never
to be forgotten, to witness the throngs
of people at one of these shows, who,
with catalogue in hand, make criti-
cal examination Of each animal, in
regular order, throughout the entire
show. The shows are exceptionally
well managed, from the standpoint OF
affording the greatest possible amount
of educational advantage. The ami
mails are stabbed not only according
to breeds, but according to classes.
All bulls of certain age Of one breed
are to be found in consecutive order
in the same row of stalls. The judg-
ing is always completed early the
opening day, and the awards hung up
in conspicuous place at the head OF
each animal, so that there is not the
slightest difficulty in finding all Of the
prize-winning animals. This sensible
system Of stabling, combined with an
equally good system Of cataloguing
| renders the inspection of the animals
very simple and highly instructive
task. This systematic inspection OF
| the animals commences Immediately
after the completion Of the judging
work, and continues with ever-increas-
| ing interest until the close Of the
show. 1t is here that the young men
learn the lessons and receive the in
| spiration which leads them on to be-
come the breeders of their day and
age. Those of more mature age, and
oftentimes having had long years OF
| successful breeding work, are as
eager for a chance to make critical
examination of the prize winners as
are the younger men, for these men Of
experience have long since learned
that string Of good young things are
not the result Of chance or accident
but are tho neyer-failing indication
,that good sire win be found on the
farm from whence the youngsters
came. 1t is in this manner that many
