LIGHTING THE BARN.
II Is practically impossible to get along
without an artificial light of some KIM m
a barn and the lantern Is probably tho
mos, uscfu! article OF this kim available
for the purpose. Any onf1agratlons re-
sulting from its use are due TO careiess-
ness. 1t Is easy to arrange a NUMBER OK
convenient hooks and nails in the Darn
on which TO fasten the lantern SO there
VIII be little danger of upsettlng II. Have
the appliance according to the location.
In some Places a spike driven into the
studding at the proper angle will be just
the thing. In other places a stout rope
or better a wire, fastened 10 the wall Sc
curcly and at the other end fasten q
snap such az Is used on a harness Will
make the best and safest plan for
handling the lantern. In other places a
projecting strip will make the safest rest
ing place. DO not set the lantern down
on any place raised from the floor; there
is always danger of its being upset In this
way. Above all things do not use an
ordinary hand lamp In the barn. Get q
lantern and buy a good one. then keep II

YARDS FOR DAIRY CATTLE.
The best dairymen believe implicitly in
exercise for their cows. hut they also real
ize that they are delicate animals and that
10 permit them to remain out of doors long
on a cold or windy day during the winter
does them more injury than good. Whi.e
the feeding shed referred to IN this de-
partment is an IDEAL place for exercise 1t
is not in the open air go the cows lose the
benefits of breathing fresh air. An ex-
cellent way to arrange a yard for exercise
is to build a deep shed in the portion of
the yard where the wind is less likely to
enter 1t. Then. with boards or corn fod-
der. erect wind-breaks all around the yard
running them up six feet or more high.
See that the yard is we'll drained and hat
1t Is cleaned of the eXcrement each day be-
fore the cows are permitted to enter it. In
order that the animals may be more con-
tented while in the yard supply them with
just enough roughage go that zach one of
them can make a good cud. Have the
shed and the yard large enough so that
there will be no crowding hence no dispo-
sition to quarrel. With such a ward the
animals may be turne out nearly every
day during the winter provided some care
is taken to remove the snow In sections

o COLDS IN FOWLS.
Soon the cold. rainy days of late fall will
have a tendency TO create severe colds
among the poultry. most of them being of
a catarrhal nature. The chief danger from
these colds is the possibility of develop
ing into roup that most dreaded of all DIS
eases among poultry. OF course preven-
ton is better hi cure and this is readily
given by seeing that the fowls and bullets
nave a chance to get under cover when II
rains and that their houses are dry and
comfortable. Have at least a portion of
the house covered with chaff on which the
fowls may walk and warm their feet. II
a cold is detected among the birds. and es-
pecially If 1t is of a catarrhal nature nre.
