OF 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
f%ective, others are quite effective, but
too cumbersome and expensive for or
binary farm buildings.
A system installed on a 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 a pipe passing just
below the floor Of the feeding alley
and running the whole length Of the
passage. 1t is "a inches in diameter

FENCING FARM PROPERLY.
First Cost May Be Large, but in Long
Run 1t Means Considerable
Saving.

"A great deal Of unnecessary fencing
Is being put on many of our farms. If
g more careful planning and mapping
out OF the fields was done there would
sbega great deal of expense cut off.
The end posts are the life of the
fence and should be put in good and
deep, well tamped and braced.
Care in the selection OF the posts,
especially the corner and end posts, is
very essential. The end or braced
posts should be large and perfectly
sound.
II possible the posts should be yea
soned, as a green piece of wood, when
it m in contact with the damp
earth, forms a breeding place for bac-
terra and fungi.
There are several pre%servative
methods In use, any of which will aid
If properly applied.
Charring or plunging in burning
coal tar is very satisfactory.
Substitutes, such as iron and re-
enforced concrete, are being used by
some, but their cost Is SO great that

the fresh air is admitted below the
heating area, as in a furnace. It is
distributed evenly and without drafts.
It is liberated at the heads Of the
cattle, giving them a chance to use 1t
before being mixed with the stable
gases. The system is automatic in
its 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 a weak point. There Is dan
ger Of an occasional down draft which
causes the whole system to 60 on
strike: 1t is the generally accepted
rule that the total area Of foul air
shafts should be from one-fifth to n
tenth greater than the area Of inlet
pipes, since the warm air leaving the
stable occupies greater space than the
cool air entering.

ventilation. The foul air is carried
off by means Of ventilating shafts
four in Misunderstanding from the
ceiling to the stable out through 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 f1ues built
in the wall about 20 feet apart and eA-
tend like chimneys well above the
caves. Each has a 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 diifuse 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 a lower level and may be TAX
en- up by the flues.
1t will be seen that by this method
