stnbIe Ventilation.

Some years ago Prof. F. H. King,
II Wisconsin, made an experimental
tudy of the effect Of ample and de-
lcient ventilation upon twenty mich
ows. The experiment was made in
. half-basement stable. represented In
accompanying figure. having three out
ide doors, thirteen large windows and
{ door leading by a stairway to the
loor above. The ceiling was nine feet
bbove the floor and the stable con-
aimed $50 cubic feet of space per cow.
leading upward from the ceiling were
wo hay chutes two by three feet in
ross sections, twenty feet high. which
ould be opened or closed at will, and
! ventilating shaft terminating near
he ridge of the roof inside.
During the trial the COWS we're kept
in the stable with the
lay chutes closed during two days and
hen with them open two DAYS. the
rails being repeated four times. Fol
owing these four trials the hay chutes
we're left closed during three consecu-
i've days for poor ventilation and left
pen the following three, making four
cen days in all.
1t was found that measurably the
anne amount Of feed was eaten under
9th conditions of ventilation. But
uring the days of insufficient ven
ilation the COWS drank, on the aver
ge, lila pounds more water each
ay and yet lost in weight an aver
ge of 107 pounds at the end of each

a necessity to her, as 1t generally Is

depositary of her secret troubles, pro

ATE threw Hope Desmond in her way.
IN Miss Dacre's estimation, she was
sminently fitted to fill the vacant post
There was Just the difference of station
between them which would make the
condolences of the future Baroness Cas-
Teton fiattering to their recipient, to
whom also her friendship might be
useful. There was a short pause Miss
Desmond's eyes looked dreamy, as II
she were gazing in spirit at some dis
tant scene, and not as II she were
quivering with impatience for the
revelations about to be made to her.
The silence was broken suddenly by
a somewhat unconnected exclamation
from Miss Dacre: HE is certainly

effort to keep country roads In socd
condition it might be something OF
hardship to farmers, but the intsiii-
gent use of the split-log drag has prac-
tically solved the problem of country
road making and road maintenance,
and people need to get busy in en-
ploying them on the highways. In
many parts of the country, especially
in Iowa and Missouri. hundreds OF
miles of roads are kept in paSsable
condition the year around by means of
this cheap and inexpensive implement.
When once a highway is placed in
good condition any farmer can keep up
one mile of road the year around by
dragging it a few times a month after
rain has fallen. a work that will take
the time of a man and team less than
half a day all told.-Denver Field

) In your March II issue you did not
mention that II signers of the Declara-
tion of American Independence were
Irish or OF Irish blood, or that one half
of Washington's army of independence
were Irish.
When Washington was encamped at
Valley Forge in that terrible winter,
with little provisions and less clothing
and serious discomfort spreading among
his soldiers and congress for want of
funds was unable to meet his demands
the contribution of s650.000 by the
Irish of Philadelphia saved the colonial
cause from disaster and defeat
We gave to the war of 1872 the same
notable assistance and we gave it to
Andrew Jackson. We also gave the
country five presidents in Jackson, Polk,
Buchanan. Arthur and Mckinley
We furnished a conspicuous and able
contingent to the armies of the union
in tho civil war.
George G. Meade saved the day and
the nation at Gettysburg, drove Robert
E. Lee across the Potomac and nullified
that great generals scheme for the
capture Of Washington.

ALBUQUERQUE ENvIous.

From Las Cruces Citizen.
The New Mexico people along the
Santa Fe south of Albuquerque will
probably show their appreciation of
what Albuquerque is doing for them
in the matter of irrigation. by letting
Albuquerque severely alone.-El Paso

Albuquerque's stand is hard to COM
prehend and can be attributed chiefly
to the fact that il knows that Las
Cruces VIII some day be more import

enviousness as Is manifested by the
people of the upper burg will but help
our city to achieve the results that
Albuquerque does not want US to obtain.
