Cost Of Feeding a Bull.

1t is not an easy matter to determine
exactly what it is worth to feed and
care for bull a year. says Hoard's
Dairyman. A very close estimate can
be made by the amount of grain and
roughage he consumes. which will
vary from $40 to $50 year, depend
ing, as is readily seen. upon the prices
Of feedstuff. We should say that for
labor in caring for the animal from
s15 to $40 would about cover this ex-
pense. and So to $40 ought to be suf-
fcient to pay interest on the money
invested in the building of the barn
and stall for housing. 1t would there
fore be worth from $50 to $50 per
year to feed and care for a bull.

The water for cooling the milk is

several degrees.
This dairy house may seem small for
twenty cows. but by careful arrange

VALUE OF FRESH
AIR FOR POULTRY

1t is important that the houses be so
constructed that they will admit of
fresh air. The exhalations from fowls
are very poisonous, and so it is es-
sential that they have thorough ven
tlation, writes NJ. X. Boyer in the
Western Poultry Journal At the same
time we must not expose the flock to
a direct draft of air. Fowls left to
themselves will not stand in a draft,

as readily as does the human family.

"At this time the republicans have en-

1.-THE meetings are enthusiastically

generally are confident OF electing their

the entire state ticket and believe they
will gain one or two OF the other con-

remembered that Maine is a republican

that prices have advanced, but with
