VENTILATE THE STABLE
in A PROPER MANNER
Essentials Necessary for the
cal All Animals
FIues Helpful.

In many stables the ventilation pro-
vided is largely the result of accident
rather than of a prearranged plan.
The idea seems to be not how to adj
nit a supply of pure, fresh air but
how to keep it out. AS consequence
the animals are breathing over and
over again the same air which gradu-
ally becomes poisoned with an excess
of carbonic acid. Moreover, the at
mosphere is likely to become laden
with disease germs, breeding tubercu-
losis. anthrax. CHAMBERS, etc. During
the summer the subject presents few
difficulties. BY throwing open the
doors and windows to the action Of
the breeze, the air is kept continually
pure and fresh.
How are we to harmonic the de-
mand for fresh aid with the demand
for warmth without sacrificing too
much of either? Three other re-
quirements there are which must be
taken into account before any system

Real ThrilIers.

the insurance man. You ought to
read Pinkerton report on an insur-
ance case if you want thriller. Our
company carries a great deal Of bur-
glary insurance, and, of course, when
a robbery occurs to any of our Gus
toners we put detectives on the case.
The reports that these men send in
are simple statements of facts, boiled
down hard, and containing nothing
but what is absolutely essential to
the business, but for intense interest
they beat any novel / ever read or ex-
pect to read. Occasionally after case
is finished and has become ancient
history / get out these reports and
read them to group Of friends, and
no play can hold more absorbed au-
dience. The actual trailing of a
criminal by detectives and the mar
wells of ingenuity on both sides are

ANNUAL SCARCITY

No Clean, Careful Man Willing to

In this disease prevention is much
better than cure. Collie is prevalent
In hot, sultry weather, and may be
prevented in most cases by care in
feeding, says the Baltimore American.
When green, succulent grass and
clover or partly cured hay is fed, collie
Is common. II is caused by the pro-
duction of gas in the stomach and in.
testines from the fermentation of the
food or by permitting the horse to
drink too freely of cold water when
tired and exhausted by severe labor.

THE NEW WOMAN

percentage of Southerners than of
Northern people for Southerners use
1t more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an illus
tration, woman of Richmond, Va,
writes:
Il was a coffee drinker for years
and for about six years my health was
completely shattered. l suffered fear
fully with headache and nervousness,

sponge out his mouth: then. after a
rest Of Is minutes, a half bucket Of
moderately cool water may be given.
Never allow the horse to drink too
much water, either before or after
meals. In case of an attack of collie
give at one dose two ounces of sweet
spirits of inter and once ounce of
tncture of opium, mixed in half pint
of water; walk the horse about. If
necessary, repeat the dose in half an
hour, adding one ounce of the tincture
OF aloes. AS soon as symptoms of
collie are noticed give one pint of
good whisky mixed with half ounce OF
pure ginger. This may effect a cure
at once. All medicines should be
carefully given. BY moderation in
working when weather Is hot, care in
feeding and watering, the harvesting
and working of the crops may be
done without injury to the teams. A
good horse should be given good
treatment. 1t will pay to do 1t.

pipe is erected about 100 feet from
the building and is connected with
the main conduit in the feeding alley
by an underground pipe or sub-earth
duct sunk eight feet below the surface
of the ground. This stand-pipe is sur
mounted by a revolving cowl, so ar
ranged with wing or tail that the
mouth is always open to the breeze,
no matter which way the wind blows.
The under pipe being below the frost
line, the temperature at this level is
much higher than that of the atmos-
pheric air and varies but slightly
throughout the year. In this way the
air enters the stable at practically
constant temperature, being cooled in
summer and warmed in winter. Hence
there is afforded what seems to be
simple solution to vexed question in
ventilation. The foul air is carried
off by means of ventilating shafts

ceiling to the stable out through the

GOOD DONE BY WANDERLUST.
Constant lntermlnsling Of People Of
the Various States Has Made
America Great.

Less than half the members of the
United States senate and house OF
representatives are native-born in the
states which they represent. Nothing
could more clearly show the alert
activities of the American people, and
that constant intermingling of the in.
habitants of the several states, which
adds so much to the cohesive unity of
the nation. The boy who goes to
distant state often accomplishes more
than the one who goes straight on in
the footprints of his father in the
home village. Even Daniel Webster
was not born in the old Bay state,
whose influence and dignity he SO well
sustained, and whose people mourned
him so sincerely when his great life
closed.
This wandering from state to state
has resulted in the organizing in New
York city of many state societies,
which aim to gather together the ma.
tives of their respective states annu.
ally to revive sthe pleasant memories
of the old home days, with their thou
sand clinging ties.
What would happen if the American
people should cease to wander about
the country? is a question often asked.
1t Is said that an eastern man never

is advised to go south to learn gentle
courtesy and chivalric bearing, the
southerner to 30 north to add more
iron to his blood. There can be no
doubt that this constant evolution has
encouraged the birth of new ideas,

scope developed a toy into our present

or the many systems devised most
of them fulfil some Of these principles,
comparatively few all of them. Some
are very simple, but only partially eff
fective, others are quite effective, but
too cumbersome and expensive for Or
binary farm buildings.
A system installed on farm near
Tillsonburg, Ont, seems worthy of de-
scription Based on accurate scien-
tific principles, 1t has given excellent
results, is practical and withal may
be so modified as to match the needs
and pockets of the average farmer.
The fresh air is admitted to the
stable by means Of pipe passing just
below the floor Of the feeding alley
and running the whole length of the
passage. 1t is "a inches in diameter
and is made to do duty for 40 head OF
cattle. This main conduit is tapped
every eight feet and the air is distrib-
uted by lateral pipes nine inches in
diameter alternately on opposite sides
of the main and opening out at the
floor level just in front of the manger.
To prevent the open ends plugging
with dirt they are protected with "a
woven wire covering. While keeping
out refuse this does not in any way
retard the free circulation Of air.
Warming the outside air before it is
admitted to the stable is a prominent
feature OF this system. A large stand

Trouble for the Constables.

London constables, when stationed
in the neighborhood OF Westminster,
are glad to wear gloves, and not alone
in order to exhibit the proper gentle
ness to women. One policeman says
that the "suffragette" wriggles and
the place to catch her for painless dis
ablement is just below the shoulder.
She's found that out" continued the
constable, "and the whole lot OF 'em
stick pins round their arms and my
gloves have got torn to ribbons"

Europe,s Record Snowfall.

The snowfall in central Europe last
winter broke all records for many
years, Germany probably receiving
the worst of 1t. For days at a time.
following each big storm, the streets
of Berlin were blocked to such an
extent that the street department of
the German capital was taxed to the

roof. These are built somewhat larger
than is required for this purpose in
order to serve as feed chutes. The
shafts are supplemented by flues built
in the wall about 20 feet apart and ex-
tend like chimneys well above the
caves. Each has square or oblong
opening near the floor and a smaller
one near the ceiling. While the flues
are not essential to ventilation they
no doubt increase its efficiency. Their
installation Is based on the principle
that while in theory the stable impur
tiles diffuse throughout the warm air
and with it are drawn off by connec.
ton through the foul air shafts, in
practice a small portion frequently
falls to lower level and may be TAX
ell up by the fiues.
It will be seen that by this method
the fresh air is admitted below the
heating area, as in furnace. 1t is
distributed evenly and without drafts.
1t is liberated at the heads of the
cattle, giving them chance to use it
before being mixed with the stable
gases. The system is automatic in
it's action; the more stock in the
stable the stronger the convection
current and the more fresh air intro
duced Making the foul air shafts
sufficiently large to be used as feed
chutes is weak point. There Is dan
ger 81 an occasional down draft which
causes the whole system to go on
strike. 1t is the generally accepted
rule that the total area of foul air
shafts should be from one-fifth to one
tenth greater than the area of inlet
pipes, since the warm air leaving the
stable occupies greater space than the
cool air entering.

Forced to Shut Down Mines.

Recently the authorities OF Carts
bad were much concerned over a de-
crease In the flow of the famous Spru-
del and other mineral springs. The
state took up the matter, and it was
found that the working of the mines
in the vicinity was probably affecting
the supply Of the thermal springs. AS
the prosperity of Carlsbad, almost,
indeed, its very existence, is de-
pendent upon it's world famous waters,

Years Of close observation and daily con-

closed to me beyond question why there are
so many more old maids and old bachelors

mind the fact that women, either married
