Ventilation of Stables,

Every good COW stable should have
about 800 cubic feet of air space per
COW. That sounds like a big space
800 cubic feet per COW. 1t is not, how
ever, too much space. You should not
have your cows all dumped up in
heap. And | would not advise you to
have the air space all above the cattle.
Have 1t eli around them-that Is, have
good wide passages and give the cows
lots Of room in their stalls. DO not
crowd them down to two and one-haif
feet, but give them three, or, better
still, three and ore-half feet. / speak

kind Is a profitable stable. ! have

tilatlon was practically equal and
where a much larger space was given

In one should Judge the air space Is
about 100 feet, not quite up to the
standard, and In the other I should
judge there is about 300 feet of air
space, long way below. In orc the
cows are continually getting sick, and
the milk is not up TO the standard Of
quality or quantity. In the other
stable there is never any complaint
about the health of the animals or the
quantity or quality of the milk. This

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire to get out and enjoy the
exhilirattng air and sunshine. Children that
have been housed up all winter are brought
out and you wonder where they all came
from, The heavy winter clothing is thrown
aside and many shed their iannels. Then a
cold wave comes and people say that grip is
epidemic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than In midwinter, as there
is much more danger of pneumonia. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, however, and
you will have nothing to fear. 1t always
