THE SANITARY
STABLE PAYS
BY Prof. r. A. Pearson,
Cornell University.

In an experiment lasting II months
the state veterinarian of Pennsylvania
kept two herds of six cows each in
two stables. One stable was roomy,
light, clean, we'll ventilated and equip
ped with stalls and manager partitions;
the other was small, dark, unclean
and poorly ventilated At the begin
ming of the experiment there were
four healthy cows and two tubercular
ones in each herd and they were so
arranged that each healthy COW stood
beside a tubercular one. The tubercu-
lar COWS were exchanged frequently
from one stable to the other so as to
provide the same dangerous exposure
to all the healthy COWS in the two
herds. Throughout the period of the
experiment the two herds were fed
and cared for as nearly in the same
manner as possible, the only differ
ence being in the sanitary condition
of their surroundings. At the close OF
the experiment all the animals were
killed and it was found that two of the
healthy animals in the sanitary stable
had contracted the disease, while all
four of the healthy animals originally
t5ut into the unsanitary stable had de-
veloped tuberculosis, and in every one
of these latter cases the malady had
progressed further than in either COW
kept in the sanitary stable.
The day of the dark, damp, unventi-
lated and unhealthy cow stable is
passing. 1t aids in the spread of tuber-
culosis, it reduces the vitality of the

Novelty at Washington Weddinu

Almost a thousand persons Were
in st. Johns at Washington at the
Observation-Disclosures wedding. The
church was decorated with lilies and
white lilacs, and the same floral
scheme prevailed at the reception in
the Merriam home, in Sixteenth
street. The Rev. Roland Cotton per.
formed the ceremony. The bride
wore cream satin made princesse,
trimmed with the lace worn by Mrs.
Merriam at her own wedding. The

Principles of Lightning Protection

special study has been made of
the best means of protection from
lightning by two members of the staff
of the Michigan Agricultural college,
and the results of their investigation
have been given for the benefit of farm
ers. 1t is admitted in the first place
that even with the best of lightning
rods perfect safety cannot be expect
ed. Iron is recommended in prefer
ence to copper, as the material out of
which lightning rods should be con-
structed. If iron is to be used, it may

Among curiosities which are models
of frankness is the following:
Lord and Lady Spencer request the
honor of -- company at dinner at

answer is particularly desired. No
body waited for after o'clock On
many invitations the time was, OF
course, stated and "a polite answer
requested" or sometimes "A reply
would oblige," but the letters "R. s..
Y. P" were hardly ever used at this
date. their first mention being in 1881,
on the card of Lord and Lady Kerry.
Indeed, till quite recently, IAN answer

years that the French form has been

A Narrow Escape.

There is at least one man who
learned lesson without losing any
money during the recent financial up
heaval. 1t is probable, however, that
he lost some sleep. He was a curb
broker. and he had a ''hunch' that
the bank in which he kept his money
was about to follow in the wake Of
the Knickerbocker Trust company. So
he withdrew his account and put it
into the Trust Company of America,
and the next day came the run on that
bank. There are fewer details to be
had from the broker than if his
'hunch" had turned out otherwise"

Neat Poultry Quarters.-It is yer

Neat Poultry Quarters.-It is very
difficult to find neat poultry quarters
either on the farms or on the places
that are especially devoted to poultry
culture 1t is a great drawback tc
the poultry business, for it has made
many enemies for the business. There
are many people that have a great
idea as to orderliness and want every.
thing about the farm tidy. There are
others who are not particularly noted
for their orderliness and yet draw the
line at the disorder they see existing
wherever poultry is kept. If ever
some system is devised by which the
poultry quarters may be made perma,
,nently attractive it will greatly stimu
late the keeping of farm poultry.

production and it causes constant and
heavy losses. Successful dairymen are
learning that cow stables should be
light and should have an abundant
supply of fresh air. Rules now observ
ed by many up-to-date dairymen are:
Have as much light in the cow stable
as in the sitting room of the house
and admit at least three-quarters OF
one cubic foot of fresh air each sec
ond for each cow in the stable. These
things can be accomplished and they
are accomplished in many stables.

"PULL" NOT STRONG
HIS FRIENDS HAVE LAUGH ON
GEN. BLACK.
Chairman of the Civil Service Com.
mission Unable to Secure APP
pointment for Friend He
Is Interested In.

The new board OF examiners, ap-
pointed to rerate the papers of candi-
dates for selection as investigators
into the condition of woman and child
labor throughout the country, under
the act passed at the last session of
congress, has completed it's work, and
the joke is on Gen. John G. Black,
chairman of the civil service COM
mission.
For the new board has practically
confirmed the work of the old board,
and the one candidate in whom Gen.
Black is reported to have been spe-
cially interested is still left out, hav-
ing failed to qualify. The result pre-
sents the edifying spectacle of the
chairman of the civil service commits
sion being unable to fix things so
that his friend could get job.
When congress had under considera-
ton the bill providing for the inves-
tigation word went to the capital that
the president had it arranged to ap-
point his own list of special investi-
gators. That did not suit the states
men, who carefully inserted provi-
sion requiring the investigators to
be appointed under the civil service
law.
When the civil service had com
pleted it's preparation for the examina-
ton of candidates, it appointed as the
board to rate the papers two members
of the staff of the bureau of labor
which is charged by the law with max
ing the investigation, and one of its
own staff. The examination was held
last spring, and of the large number
who took it comparatively few
passed
Almost Immediately a protest was
made that the papers had not been
rated fairly and that the examination
itself had been too technical Gen
Black himself, in commenting on the
result, remarked that he doubted the
entire competency of the board of ex
aminers, and suggested that there had
been too much labor bureau in its
makeup. 1t was said then, by per-
sons who were in position to know
that Gen. Black was personally inter
ested in the success of one Of the con
didates, lady of mature years.
In expressing himself on the re-
suit the chairman of the commission
said that he knew certain persons who
were admirably fitted to make the sort
of investigation contemplated, but who
would have difficulty in passing q
technical examination. The general
favored disqualifying the examiners
and appointing new board. After
considerable discussion this was done
and this time the balance Of the
board was reversed, it being composed
of one man from the bureau of labor
and two from the civil service com
mission staff
This board has now completed the
labor of going over all the papers
submitted in the examination and re
rating them. And the result is the
second discontinue OF Gen. Black and
his friend. With only few minor
changes the new board has confirmed
the ratings given by the old board
and the lady is still ineligible.

Thinks Senator Works Too Hard.

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
has habit which does not tend to
make him popular with employees at
the capitol Without doubt he is the
hardest working man in Washington.
No objection would be made by the
men employed in congress to that trait
of character were it not that they
suffer from it. The senator sometimes
arrives at the capitol as early as
seven o'clock in the morning, rarely
later than $3.50. The result is that
some of the employees who have a
fondness for turning over" in the
morning are deprived of this sweet
privilege and have to hustle through
breakfast and to the capitol in order
