Heated or "mow-burnt" hay is also

A certain amount of fermentation is
useful for the development of sound
hay, but when it is carried too far it
becomes injurious, and has a specially
bad effect on the urinary organs.

veterinary point of view, says: Hay
when stored undergoes further
changes of the nature of fermentation
This improves its flavor and digesti-
bility. If the heating is carried be-
yond a certain point, as in hay stacked
before being properly dried, there is a
great loss of proteids and soluble car

Day Spent in Circus Beats School

the circus learns more about animals
in one day than he can learn from
the teacher of a nature study class in
a year.
THE trained animals of a circus
are an object lesson that cannot be
beaten anywhere, and for this reason
every school teacher ought TO attend
the circus. The performances of the
animals prove what conscientious and
continued training will do. If the
school teacher put as much effort in
the training of children as the circus
trainer gives to the training of per.
forming pigs, the improvement shown
by the school children of today would
be remarkable.
THE influence of the circus is
broadening for the reason that 1t
shows so many things which seem
impossible to the average person, but
which are really done with apparent
ease. The child who attends a circus
gets an entirely new idea of expert
Workmanship and of skill in the per.
Torrance of physical feats. and for
this reason say the circus has an
educational value.
Then schoolroom work is done in
the most perfunctory way when there
is a circus in town. The minds of
the children-not nearly all of the
children are there-are not upon the
work, and the teacher can put no life
in his or her tasks. The teacher
knows all the work will have to be

His remarkable recovery and the
fact that he retains his reason are
the most remarkable features of this
case. While he is alive. in good
health and able to walk around the
streets and converse with his friends
and acquaintance, Dunn is handi
capped by the loss of all sense OF
smell or taste and has lost the sight
of his right eye. Despite these at
fiictions he bears his lot with forti.
tude. He cannot enjoy a meal. for no
matter what choice viands he may or.
der, he cannot relish them any more
than he would bareback and salt pork.
The loss of the sense of taste he
looks upon as his worst affection.
Tommy Dunn, as he is known among
his friends, is ward OF the govern
ment, though not of his own choosing,
for he has relatives and influential
friends who take care of him and look
after his comfort at all times. His
impaired eyesight has proved an OBJ
stacle toward his securing employ
ment, and idleness is something he
breads because of his Affections. His
only amusement is to join several con.
genial companions and tell stories Of
past experiences, or to take street car
rides or journeys through the country
in automobiles. He cannot go TO the
theater, being handicapped by partial
blindness and fearful lest the glare Of
the lights shall impair the sight Of
his remaining eye.

must report at Washington or some
other military headquarters at certain
periods and to undergo the periodical

In dairying the first consideration
Is race of healthy cattle, but mas
much as sanitary accommodation is
inseparahly linked with robust con-
stitution and proper feeding in main
tanning the health of the animals the
provision of airy. sanitary buildings
must be a matter of the first import
ance.
1t is a positive certainty that heal
thy race of cattle cannot be maintain
ed indefinitely in circumstances favor
able to the propagation and develop
ment of disease germs. and conse-
luently. the condition of the sheds in
which the dairy cattle are accommo-
dated is a very proper subject for
thorough inquiry and systematic in
srection.
The subject is an important one
from the point of view of the general
Public. but it is of even greater mo-
ment to farmers.
The first essentials in the proper
housing of cows are sufficient ventila-
tlcn and sanitary arrangements that
will facilitate the thorough cleansing
of the buildings.
In the housing of cows. as indeed.
of all classes of stock, 1t Is essential to
discriminate between air space and
ventilation. The two terms are not
synonymous as every practical farmer
knows. Fresh air is essential to the
maintenance of health but large cubic
area is as little a guarantee as it Is
an essential of good ventilation.
Now, 1t is fact that those who
should know better. make their de
mSnd, in respect to fresh cir in COW
sheds. for air space. rather than for
frequent air renewal. and by way of
showing the mistaken value of this
idea. 1t may be pointed out that it is
quite conceivable that the air of a
COW barn containing 600 cubic feet of
air space, and imperfectly ventilated,
may receive less fresh air than that
Of another of half the capacity that is
well ventilated, and at the same time
be colder and less comfortable for the
COWS.
The ventilation in many Of the exist
.ng farm buildings is admittedly de-
iective. but instead of constructing
spacious new buildings at heavy cost
t would be much more reasonable
and equally effective to devote atten-
lion to the subject Of ventilation
In the present knowledge of such
matters the irperfections Of the ex-
isting buildings could be rectified at
comparatively little expense. and the
sanitary conditions made to comply
with the regulations necessary to
maintain health AID to prevent the
