Convenient Arrangement.
1t is always best to have the dairy
stable built to hold cows only and pro-
vide some other place in which to
keep hogs, poultry, horses and farm
machinery. 1t is best to separate the
horse stable from the COW stable with
a partition so that the ammonia odors
/ will not contaminate the air OF the COW
stable. Where such separate stable
is provided for COWS, it is best to have
them arranged in two rows facing eth
er in or out according to personal
! preference and local conditions. A
convenient width for such stable is
about "a or SO feet or wider, if de-
sired. If the manure is hauled direct

about 5 inches by 16 inches in size,
should be distributed along at least
two sides of the stable, and should be
provided with registers to open or
close them.
The Barn Must Be Clean and Easily
Cleaned.
1t is absolutely impossible to keep
COWS clean in a dirty stable and to pro,
duce clean milk from them. 1t is just
as cheap and just as easy to have the
dairy stable clean provided it is prop
erly constructed The first essential
condition contributing to easy cleanlt
ness is simple construction. There
must be as few places as possible on
which dust and dirt will gather Dust
carries germs or bacteria which we
must keep out of milk. The ceiling
should be tight, so that hay or grain
stored above will not cause dirt to fall
into the COW stable. 1t is advisable to
use one-inch matched lumber for the
ceiling unless the floor above is tight.
The side walls may also be lined in
this way when the stable is of frame
construction Acoat of white paint
or good whitewash adds much to the
clean appearance of the stable.

Mr.. Piokard is that type of
globe-trotting authorwho seeks
the quaint and curious places
and people as subjects for his
clever descriptive articles. In
his present series of twelve
articles which we have ar
ranged to print, he has touched
not only the actual work of
building the canal, and the
people who have accomplish
ed it, but has gone into what
the newspaper worker knows
as the side lines, and which as
a rule are of as much interest
as the main story. This is par
ticularly true in this case.
After our readers have COM
pleted the last of Mr.. Pickard's

The Luddite War
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TINE Luddite war, so called
from the fact that it was be-
gun by a weak minded fell
low named Ned Lud, met it's Wa
terloo January 30, 1912.
Ned Lud and Napoleon Bona
parte, though separated by the
whole diameter of things intellec-
tual, the one being almost an idiot
and the other a mental colossus,
were both engaged on a fools er-
rand, Lud in attempting to- stop the
progress of mechanical science and
Napoleon III fighting against the
forward march of modern democ-
Iacy. Ned met his fate as above
mentioned, and three years later
Napoleon met his.
Ned was one Of the original
"standpatters. He had no use for
"progressives" of any sort. The
"Old Guard" and the "old ways"
were good enough for him. Conse-
quently, when certain rattle
Drained insurgents came to Not
tingham with their machines for
spinning and weaving cotton, Ned
raised the war whoop and began
smashing them.
Ned's idiocy instantly became
contagious, and soon all over the
surrounding region the spinners
and weavers were breaking up and
burning frames and machinery.
From Nottingham the disturbance
spread into Yorkshire and Lanca-
shire, and soon involved All the
northern and midland counties Of
England. Machines were destroyed
wherever found Manufacturer

and had saved a few dollars. He
lost his last job through no fault of
his own. Day after day he set out
in a vain search for employment
Night after night he returned home
with the same sad tale. As the
days heightened into weeks and the
weeks into months he became dis
