It Pays to Feed Live Stock Pore Air

they forgot to open them again l do not
mind closing the inlets little when it is
cold but when II comes warm they should
be opened up. ] have known men to con
denim the King system of ventilation. and
the reason it did not work was because they
did not pay attention TO it: they did not
open the outlets Wien they should. 1t Is
nearly always from lack of attention that n
system does not work Ventilation Is a thing
that requires just rs much attention the
feeding of the animal 1t is n thing that
must be attended to every day and every
little while
Just 10 show you how absolutely neces-
sary II is to give attention 10 a system of
ventilation l might mention an experience
we had last winter We put muslin curtains
on 4 barn eighteen each Side, and when
the temperature was such and such outside
II of course necessary TO regulate Tie
windows to get the right amount OF air. and
when the temperature rose we had 10 open
them 4 little moro close them up when
the temperature fell outside: but we found
another controlling influence which had to
be reckoned with. III there was no wind
blowing, then we had to open every window.
If there was the least current of air, then
Lad to close up some OF the windows
I have seen every window open the tenn
perature outside below and the tenn
perature inside around so degrees Fahrcn-
hcIt Now that system. without the closest
attention. is no good at all We found it
darkened the windows too much and was
hard to control.
Another system that have tried Is the
Rutherford. We found that be salts
factory as any we tried. We have tried the
King system and under certain conditions
ii has worked very well. but 1t is apt to be
neglected. 1t requires more attention than
does the Rutherford. By the Rutherford
mean the system where the air enters at
the floor and leaves at the ceiling The

enters at the ceiling and leaves at the floor
Professor King was working on the prin-
cipc that the foul air consisted largely Of
carbonlc acid gas which would be heavier
tlan pure air. and although 1T would rise to
the ceiling at first 1T would soon cool and
sink to the floor. The Rutherford system
goes on the principle that we must have
a rapid and constant circulation OF air, and
to get that must make use OF the prlD-
cpIc that tho warmer and therefore fouler
gases rise and the heavier ones found
at the bottom: therefore we let The heavier
air In at the bottom and let the warm air
out at the top and have constant circula-
ton. We have barn where these two sys-
TENS can he put In operation We tried IT
awhile with one and then with the other.
We found these disadvantages; Where the
mir came in at the floor and went out at the
ceiling the temperature uniform. Ii IT
was 40 degrees at the 0oor it was 40 degrees
at the ceiling. We had five or six thcrmome
tcrs and took the readings every night or
morning In that same barn we closed up
that system OF ventilation and opened up
the system whore foul air went out at the
floor. and the temperature at the ceiling was
ten To twelve degrees higher than on the
ground and :he animals were lying I'm the
coldest air I'm the building Another objec-
tion found to it was that VIC had chutcS
to feed the horses from overhead. and the
warm air got into these chuteS and there
nj a VIC n
abandon the King system in that stable, We
are introducing 1t I'm another barn and hope
10 give 1t more thorough trial there. The
Rutherford system IS thoroughly described
