NEW BULLETIN.

The county school of agriculture and
domestic science has just issued bulletin
No. s, Vol. 2. 1t is made up of three
sections, covering subjects dealt with
in the three departments of the school.
The first subject is Ventilation for
Housed Animals" and calls attention
to the fact that fresh air and sun
shine are as requisite to the health of
animals as these life-giving agencies
are to man, though this is generally
ignored by stable builders. The second
section treats of various methods of fin
ishing the walls and ceilings of kitchen
so that they will harm onize with sur
roundings and require as little care as
possible. Also as to what kind of
kitchen floors are best, arrangement
of clothes racks, etc. The conclud-
ing chapter gives few hints on
cleanliness in the kitchen and is under
the caption, "Dishwashing. 1t says,
"Dishwashing is one of the most i'm
portant tasks of housekeeping and the
one most carelessly done. Nothing
more quickly takes away the appetite
than cloudy glasses, Clipped dishes and
soiled linen. All indicate that the
work in the kitchen is done in sloven-
ly, careless manner"
