VentiIate Your Barns,

Farmers who are going to build barns
next summer should make arrange
ments now 10 put in the King system
of ventilation in their stables. 1t is
not expensive If you make calculations
in time.
The Washington Agricultural college
has the following to say on the neces-
sity Of such ventilation:
Dairy barns are very frequently poor
ly ventilated The dairy COW is then
not only required to live, but to work.
under unfavorable influences. and she
often falls a victim to such diseases as
tuberculosis. pneumonia. bronchitis and.
colds. Foul air is one Of the prime
factors In the production Of such dis
eases Since the advent Of sanitary
science in connection with ventilation
the air space allowed for each animal
has been increased and number OF
methods Of ventilation have been de-
vised. The exercise of little care in
such matters will protect the health Of
animals. prevent premature death and
also make possible the highest working
efficiency Of the herd.

quality and makes more per pound in
the market than any save the South

An Iowa Sow Ration.

The Iowa experiment station is using
ration for brood sows and sucking
pigs that.is made up Of seventy pounds
Of cornmeal. ten younds Of middlings,
ten pounds Of go per cent meat meal or
tankage, five pounds Of bran, two
pounds Of oilmeal, one pound Of feed
ing quality Of bone -four, one pound Of
limestone dust and pound Of salt.
These feeds are thoroughly mixed and
given in a thick slop, the aim being to
feed just enough to enable the SOW to
produce enough milk for her pigs.
This ration looks like an old fashion
ed Doctors prescription-a little Of ev-
erything-but there is reason for IT..
says Kansas Farmer. In the first place
it has proved to be the best and cheap
est combination of feeds for the pur-
pose, and in the second place it pro-
duces results.
1t is well understood that the SOW
must have flesh and bone forming feed
or the pigs will not develop properly
The tankage. bone -four aud limestone
dust are added to supply these elements
which are not present in sufficient
quantities in the others.

What It Really Means.

Syndicalism is the latest thing in
the labor controversy. 1t is the
guiding principle of the Industrial
Workers of the World in the United
States and Canada. That organiza-
ton displayed it's methods of bring
ing about the realization Of its ideal
by the strikes in the Gray's Harbor
mills and on the Canadian railroads.
The Lawrence strike was an out.
come of syndicalism. The same prin.
ciple dictated the French railroad
strike, which the government broke
only by manning the railroad corps of
the army; also the British coal strike
and the simultaneous coal strikes in
Germany and France, the purpose of
the latter being to prevent imported
coal from breaking the British strike.
Syndicalim wars first on capital
but it also wars on labor unionism.
of the old style and even on socialism
which it is designed to supplant. It
is French word, describing a theory
first propounded by the French phil.
osopher Sorel, and the principle was
first applied in France 1t is defined
in the following paragraph from an
article by an anonymous writer in
the Fortnightly Review
What, then, is this new force in
the labor world? Briefly, the aim of
syndicalism is the overthrow of the
capitalistic society and the substi-
tuition of unions of workingmen, con-
trolling the whole of industry. The
syndicalist advances beyond political

SMALL OR LARGE SHEEP.
An Argument In Favor Of Handling the
Lighter Breeds.

The question often arises as to which
proves itself the more profitable to the
breeder and feeder Of sheep, heavy
sheep or small but better quality
one, writes w. II. Underwood. Let us,
for example. take the oxford and
Hampshire cross as type Of big sheep,
it being a favorite cross, and the Shrop-
shire as an example of a smaller and,
It may be said with all due respect to
he before mentioned cross, a better
quality sheep.
1t is we'll known that big sheep are
big consumers and consequently can
not be so thick on the land as small
sheep can. and. for instance, where 100
breeding ewes Of the oxford Hamp-
shire type can be kept 40 Shropshires
could be run on the same given guam
tity Of land. Then. too. the Shropshire
Is more prolific than any other short
wooded breed. and. whereas one and
OnefOurth lambs per eve Is considered
quite satisfactory average in the Ok
ford and Hampshire focks or the cross
between the two above named, one
and three-fourths is quite common and
one and half the usual average in
Shropshire flocks. so that. taking the
example before mentioned on the same
given quantity of land 100 cross oxford
Hampshires would produce 125 lambs.
and the 40 Shropshires in all prob
ability would produce 900. mortality
being about the same in both cases.
And again. when the time comes for
the lambs to go on grain there IS no
comparison between the amount that
an Oxford Hampshire will consume as
against the Shropshire. One and one
half pounds OF grain per day is about
the average quantity given to the first
mentioned sheep. whereas half that al
lowance is ample and is all that Is gen
orally allowed TO a Shropshire. There
fore the quantity Of grain consumed
by the Shropshires, although nearly
100 more. would be considerably less
