Oil stoves and gas stoves should
never be kept burning in a sleeping
room, for they are burned in the
open air of the room, and, having
no connection with chimney flue,
they throw the poisonous carbonic
oxide of combustion into the air Of
the apartment and make it unfit for
respiration. Even an oil lamp IL
dangerous if left burning all night,
but an oil stove is worse, because
stoves generally feed more flame
consume more of the oxygen ane
give off more POISONOUS gas.

A CONCRETE MILK HOUSE.
Any Farmer May Make One at Small
Expense.


A house for keeping milk cool In the
summer and storing fruit and veget-
ables in the winter may be construct
ed out of concrete from floor to roof.
A man in little Missouri town built
one in the following manner, says the
Kansas City Star. An excavation was
made in the ground four feet deep the
desired length and breadth of the
building. Two posts were then set in
the ground at each corner, leaving a
space between them the thickness of
the walls. Inch boards foot wide
were placed on the inside of these
posts next the ground. The first lay.
er of concrete which was made from
cement and tolerably coarse gravel
was put between them. After this
was finished another round of boards
was put Just above the first ones and
these were filed between with con.
crete also. Then another course OF
concrete was put above this and so on
until the desired height was reached.
AS the concrete hardened the boards
were removed The door frame was
set between the boards in one end OF
the building when the walls had been
built up to level with the top of the
ground, and it was made secure by

WHERE HoLsrElNs ORIGINATED.
Brief History of This Type of Dairy
Animal.

The cattle known In America as
Holstein-Friesians belong to the short
horn, low-land race, native to the low
lying, fertile lands of Europe border
ing on the North Sea, of which race,
from the dairy standpoint, the Hol.
stein-F riesian family is the most high.
ly developed. These cattle might have
been better named Friesian. since
Friesland, and the neighboring prov
inces of Holland, is the central home
from which this breed of cattle has
been SO widely disseminated over the
old world. and from which some 10000
head of foundation stock has been
brought to America. The Friesian
people are among the most conserva.
tive of the Germanic race, still hold,
ing to and speaking among themselves
the old Friesian language, although
also able to speak Dutch, the official
language of Holland. They have been
equally conservative in holding to
their ancient industry of cattle rear
ing, an occupation for which their
low-lying lands are especially fitted.
ana, as the noMaH nAsVoiidu AaCltus
speaks of them nearly 1000 years age
as cattle breeders, paying tribute
in cattle and hides to the Roman EN-
pire, so we find them to-day making
dairy husbandry their main industry

it would be strange indeed. says
Farmers Review, II their breed OF
cattle did not reach u very high de
gree OF development; SO it is in nc
way surprising that we should find
these Friesian dairymen possessed OF
"a breed OF cattle which, as an all.
around dairy breed. is superior to any
other breed known.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence OF Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that 1t
should be given thorough trial be
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1880 in
1905, and only 14.489o in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,289, 734
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.
