VENTILATION FOR STABLE

ventilation is concerned, the principal
point is the retention of wind force to
assist in ventilation when only the ami
nal heat in the stable is available to
produce ventilation. The assistance of
the wind is of great service and should
be taken advantage of as much as pos
sible. A method of securing this adj
vantage is shown In the large picture

The usual method of stable ventila-
ton is to place f1ues with outlets ter
minating In shaft through the roof
and surmounted by a plain cupola or
cover with cap a foot or SO above
the opening. The idea in the latter
case ia that the wind will blow be-
tween the cap and the top of the shaft
as shown at B in the illustration here
with, says American Agricuturist.
This method tends to increase the
flow of vitiGted air from the stable
and thus aid the ventilation, pure air
coming in from inlet flues placed at
somewhat remote points from the out
lets.
Whether this method is fully salts
factory is not certain, for at times
when the wind is gusty the Initiated
air is forced back into the stable in
stead Of being drawn out, and often
snow and sleet are drawn down the
shaft. To overcome the uncertain

There seems to be something ire
sistibly attractive to women in the
fluffy, nodding plumes of the ostrich,
and if this great bird could not be
bred on ostrich farms his race would
become extinct. Like many another
wearer of fine plumage, the goddess of
fashion would pursue him to the
death.
Although good ostrich plumes are
as costly as ever, they are in wider
demand than in all the history of mil
linery. Everyone wants plumes, and
other ostrich feathers. in all the va
ried beautiful mountings which the
artists make them up.
There is a wonderful variety to
choose from. The introduction of
willow plumes, that is those hay
ing the f1ues heightened by tying on
extra pieces, has brought out all sorts
of color combinations and plumes of
long sweeping fibers. They are very
beautiful but not as practical as the
unpieced plumes. In buying high
priced ostrich feathers the French
plumes with long, slightly curIed fues
are by far the best investment. They

spoken of the gold lace pins crocheted
with lace. Now far-seeing manutac-

all to be covered with this GRO
cheted lace. One may have a whole

paratively small outlay and may be
bought on a guarantee from the dealer
that they will stand wear. Moisture
doesn't do them any permanent harm.
On the other hand the willow plume
cannot be guaranteed to wear. Those
in black are especially fragile, some
thing in the dye causes them to come
united or to break off when the air
is damp, The white and light colors
wear better than black.
When one does not need to think of
economy there are beautiful effects to
be wrought out by using plumes with
pieced fues, which are well worth
the price.
Three fall hats are illustrated here
showing the simplicity and richness
of ostrich used or trimming. They
are mounted in groups of three or
more toward the back of the hat as a

CHANGE SHEEP
PASTURE OFTEN
breeders Must Practice Method
of Dividing Into Small Lots
If Ewes and L ambs
Kept Healthy.
CRy w. NJ. KELLEYO


The more l study the sheep busi-
ness and the more carefully | note
the results of my own experience and
observation, the more | am coming to
appreciate the frequent change of
pastures for the ewes and lambs. II
costs money to change our system of
pasturing sheep and divide our pas
lures up into small lots, but we must
practise this method if we succeed in
in keeping our sheep and lambs free
from stomach worms.
We know that these worms come
from the sheep to the lambs through
the grass that is eaten. We know
that it takes a certain time for the
germs when dropped on the grass to
develop enough to get to the lambs.
That time is estimated to be from
eight to IL days. We know that the
lambs are born free from parasites.
We know that it is possible to keep
the mothers quite free from parasites
before the lambs are dropped.
BY putting what facts we know to-
gether we can readily see that if we
change pastures frequently, say every
eight to II days, we will lessen the
danger of the LAMBS becoming in
fected with these germs through the
grass that they consume. Some of

doors hang so that the cupola is partly
open on each side, but as shown in the
Illustration, when the wind blows from

closed by the force of the wind. The
other side, however, is open and there
IS always a chance fo~ the stable air
to pass out and no chance for rain or
snow to blow down the shaft. If de-

They always know how to make a

work they save fuel and time and

that, they save the clothes that are

4 TGUSH OF SADNESS.

Last Tuesday afternoon the

the last time under the manage

has been at the helm for %
years. Mr.. Robinson will re-
main with the paper, but the one
man control and ownership pass
ed away last Tuesday afternoon.
During the Mr.. Robinson has
Conducted the Sun we have
known and come in contact with
him as few men in the city We
have witnessed his struggles and
hours Of JOY, and at times when
everything seemed to go wrong
have been surprised at his faith
in the people that have not been
as charitable as they might have
been. Through it all he has al
ways lobored and had a good
word for Durham and its growth.
Knowing him so well, and his
devotion to his paper, we can
heartily join him in a touch of
sadness as the paper passes from
under his direct and only control.
But this touch of sadness is
lightened with the thought that
he is able in the new Sun to pre-
sent to the people of Durham
more in keeping with the prog
ress of the city, and one APP
preaching nearer his ideal of
what he would present to the
reading public. May Mr.. Robin
sons fondest hopes be realized.
and may some of the burden of
the daily grind he has experience
ed for years be lifted, giving
him a heart to work better for
the upbuiliing of the Sun ard
the realization of his dreams.

If he HAS THE PRICE.

There are few but will readily
admit that the fellow with the
price gets more consideration in
our courts than tn. fellow that
has not. and recently the news
papers have been bold enough to
say SO in many instances. as the
following from a Greensboro cor
respondent will show.
The city is well known to be
infested with a large number of
men who are recognized as
gamblers. and the police are just
making a beginning on a deter
mined effort to either run them
out of town or compel them to do
some work on the county roads.
Most of them, however. being
able 70 pay fine or give bond on
appeal TO superior court, with
the chance of running away
witnesses or killing this case by
delay and continuance, it is a
hard task to punish this class of
gentry here, even when, like to-
day, they are caught redhanded
and sentence passed upon them. |"
With all our talk of freedom
and justice to all this sounds
like the fellow writing same
does not know what he is talk
ing about. Bot on every hand
where the fellow that is able 10
ray the expense and comes into
court, he succeeds In carrying
things his way ore was or the
other.
