BARNS FOR DAiRYMEN.

They Should BE Warm, Well Ventt-
lated, Light and Clean.
At the present time there is strong
demand for milk produced under better
sanitary conditions. This demand Isl
growing, and the man who will make
the greatest success in the future in
dairying is the one who unites himself
with this new movement 1t is a fact,
however lamentable, that on a large
portion of the dairy farms the milk Is
produced in filthy barns, by filthy cows,
attended by dirty mixers. Dairymen
must look upon the stable as place
where food is prepared and conduct it
accordingly.
A stable for dairy cows should be
well lighted and ventilated. It should
have light walls and ceiling and a
sound floor. Dairy cows when crowded
into dark and dirty stables cannot be
expected to produce as much milk or
milk with as wholesome properties as
those provided with clean, airy quar-
tiers where the sunligl nters through
numerous windows an where the Eoui
air f-4he ste. le ;3y.ss'3
air without subjecting the u
furious drafts. When IN full d the
dairy COW Is hard worked and less able
to withstand extremes of weather than

production rather than self preserya-

profitable. to keep her warm BY max
ing the stable comfortable instead of
compelling her to use large amounts
Of expensive food in maintaining her
body temperature.
In the dairy barn no one thing is of
more Importance than sound, imper-
vious floor.
One OF the greatest wastes in the
farm is the constant loss Of fertility
occasioned by the wasting Of manure.
When the liquid as well as the solid
manure finds ready escape through
cracks and knot holes, with no means
Of regaining it, the possible profits of
the farm are greatly reduced.
Wooden floors are fairly practical In
cheap barns If laid with suficients
slope toward the cutters to keep them
reasonably free from moisture and
have sufficient circulation underneath
to keep them dry. The planks should
be Of even width, and every plank
should be replaced with new one as
rapidly as it decays and affords place
for the accumulation Of filth or the

COLLISION OF BATTLESHIPS.

About noon last Sunday, the battleship
squadron of the Atlantic Station, consisting
Of the ships Maine, Kentucky, Kearsage,
Alabama and Illinois left their anchorage
in New York harbor, under command Of
Rear Admiral Evans, bound on the winter
cruise. The Maine, the flagship, was the
only ship thai carried a pilot, the other ships
following at distance Of 400 yards apart
in the order named above. The Kentucky
ran aground. The Kearsage was directly
behind the Kentucky and coming at good
speed. It looked as if she must
ram the Kentucky. It seemed to
the men and officers in the fleet that the
Kearsarge must go crashing into the stern
Of the Kentucky.
In desperate effort to avoid the impact
she Kearsarge pulled far over to the East
bank, and quicker than il takes to tell it,
she too, was ashore, not hundred feet from
the Kentucky. The World thus describes
the situation as to the Alabama, command
ed by our toynsmen, Captain s. P. Comls:
The commander Of the Alabama, next in
line, instead Of trying to hug She East
bank, tried toget by the danger at star
board Of the Kentucky.

execute the evolution. The Alabama crash

TRULY PHILOSOPHICAL.

A northern Michigan mer- chant tells a grimly humorous story of a lumberman in that section, who, after a hard win ter in the camps, appeared in the streets of one of the larger towns ready and anxious "to have a good time"
 This lumberman had with him the sum of $500, the proceeds of his seasons labor-a sum for which he had toiled and slaved and risked his life in the lumber jams, enduring the while all the discomforts and tribulations of the rigorous winter. With the $500 thus painfully amassed the lumberman sought the compara- tive civilization of lumber town. He first purchased him. self a big drink and an expen- live cigar; then hied him to a faro "joint," where he staked his entire fortune on a single play. In another moment he was pen niless. Shifting the cigar from one corner of his mouth to the other, the lumberman cheerfully observed: "Oh, we'll; easy come, easy go."

OPTIMISM OF GREATVALUE
Practice of Looking Always on Bright Side of Things Is Worth
 e!u Cultivating.

Probably there's no one quai- ity which ought so to be culti- yated to it's highest point, yet which is made so little of, as is optimism.
 My children are so unlike,' sighs one mother. "EleanOr IS happy all the time, no matter what happens, and Edith is as sure to be depressed by trifies" That other mother came more nearly to the heart of things when she replied:
 q believe that children are nothing but little refectors when they are wee, and that if you yourself are deliberately cheery they will give it back to you unconsciously. l believe, too, that if you keep it up long enough they will, as uncon- sciously, form the habit of being optimistic"
 The second woman's children are the sunniest little mOrtals in the world-they're forming the habit of optimism, and they'll find it a mighty valuable asset later on in life.
 After all, although disposition counts for a great deal, persist ently forcing yourself to look upon the bright side of things is laying the foundation for character building on very fine plane, and the man or woman who overcomes a naturally wOr- rying disposition adds strength as well to the sweetness of char acter he gains.

BARBARoUs ANCIENT CUSTOM.

An English court has sen fenced a woman to impriSOn ment because she refused to speak during a trial. The old penalty for remaining mute un- der similar conditions was being pressed to death. The form of sentence set forth "the prisoner shall be laid in some low, dark house, where he shall lie naked on the earth and one arm shall be drawn to one quarter of the house, with a cord, and the other arm to another quarter; and in the same manner let it be done with his legs; and let there be laid upon his body iron and stone, as much as he can bear or more." There the man had to lie. On the following day he was given three mOrsels of bread without water; on the fol lowing, water, but no bread. And this was his diet until he died.
