GOOD SANITATION OF STABLE
" Proper Care Is Given Horses and
Their Barns No One Can Object
to Them In Big Cities.

tBy PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOTHE)
One OF the most imperative needs
from the standpoint OF health In great
cities. Is stable sanitation. Thousands
upon thousands of horses are stabbed
In every large city. II proper care
Is taken OF these horses and their
stables, no one can object to their
presence, because they are reasonably
quiet and properly cared for stable
Is practically odorless You will say
Immediately that you never saw a
properly cared for stable. then. and
that is probably right. as there are
very few of them.
The sanitary stable should have
waterproof floors, built of some ma
terial that will not absorb the liquid
manure. and sloped to drain properly.
Cement is undoubtedly the best OF
these. and 1t should be covered with
Slated board flooring in the stalls
to keep the horses from sleeping on q
cold cement, and to prevent slipping
The question of bedding Is very i'm.
portant In many ways. Its function ia
to keep the horse of the floor and to
absorb the liquid manure. II also Is
better for the horses feet than a hard
floor Wheat or oat straw is the best
bedding known, as It is light. dry.
warm, springy and highly absorbtive.
Barley and rye straw would be equally
good II It were not for the ''beards"
or barbed tips OF the green husk,
which irritates the horses skin.
Marsh hay has little value because II
is coarse. hattens down and absorbs
very little. Shavings and tanbark are
poor bedding for the same reason.
Horses should be cleaned very care
fully In warm weather. and 1t is an
excellent plan to wash their mouth,
head and legs with cold water at noon
and night.

FIRE DAMAGES A Residence.
Fire Company Did Good Work in
distinguishing Flames.

A fire in the G. L. Brown house
ON Kinney street Saturday afternoon
burned through from the basement
and damaged the house and its con-
tents to the amount Of about $30O.
The g. E. Caspey family occupied
the house and none of them were
at home at the time Of the fire.
The fire started in the basement
and for time 1t was thought that
it had been set by the furnace but
closer examination proved that there
was little fire in the. furnace and
that the fire was started from some
other source, The house was pretty
badly smoked up and will have TO-
be repapered. Otherwise there was
little damage except to the floor
of the room over the place where
the fire started. The fire company
did good work and had the fire un-
der control in short order. G. L.
Brown gave the fire company a.
check for s25 for its efficient work.
