EIues For Barns.

Every barn should have a system of
nues, or, if they are too expensive, cot
ton windows. More trouble of garget
and udder disease results from sudden
drafts than from any other causes.
In theo outgoing f1ue the area should be
in proportion to the number of cows,
about n square foot to a cow, and
should be opened at the top of the
barn. Inside the barn the opening in
summer should be up high and in win
ter lower down. The incoming flues
should have the same area, but there
should be more of them, necessarily
making them smaller. The air should
come in from the outside near the stills,
n to the barn from under the caves.

MI. Taft declined to walk too rapidly,

altogether was a disappointment.
1t was noticed that the two Secret

President wore the conventional frock
coat and silk hat which is the distinc-

President Roosevelt never insisted
upon this and as a result the men
who watched over him arrayed them

taken to mean that President Taft

to.. Z. 3 y 5sse Throush Route
An interesting story concerning the
road, recently built from Spruce Pine,
Mitchell county, to Bostic, Cleveland
county, N. c. has reached Washing
ton by way Of West Virginia. It is
now said that the owners of this road
will control a through line from To-
ledo, O., on Lake Erie, to Charleston,
S. c., and will haul coal from the
coal fields Of Virginia, West Virginia,
and Kentucky for the country along
the South atlantic coast, the Gulf of
Mexico and Panama, and will bring
back iron ore from Cuba. It will be
recalled by newspaper readers in Vir-
GINA, North Carolina and elsewhere
that millions Of dollars were sepnt in
building the South and Western Rail-
road from Spruce Pine to Marion,
across the Blue Ridge mountains, at
McKinnev's Gap, grading one Of the
best roadbeds and putting down one
of the most serviceable tracks in the
country, and that, just before it's COM
p1etion it was renamed the Carolina,
Clinchfeld & Ohio. Within the last
few weeks. the road has been extend
ed to Bcstic. At Marion the Caro-
lima, Clinchfeld & Ohio connects
with the Knoxville-Salisbury line of
the Southern Railway, and at Bostic
with the Carolina Central division Ct
the Seaboard Air Line, which runs
from Rutherfordton to Wilmington.
From Bostic the line will be continu-
ed to Spartanburg, S. c., where first
class connections for Charleston will
be made.-H. p. C. Bryant in Char.
