PROPER STABLE VENTILATION
Question Should Receive Special Con.
siGeration In Planning of.Modern
Barns-Sun Kills Germs.

Good ventilation is absolutely nee
essary in the stable. The question of
ventilation should receive special con-
sideration In the planning of modern
barns This was not done in former
years and 1t appears that 1t is often
forgotten nowadays. tuberculosis
among cattle and hogs in the United
States seems to be on the increase,
and there is nothing that will aid
the spread of this disease more than
poorly ventilated stables. Plenty of
sunlight is also necessary. Too many
windows cannot be put In a barn
too few seems to be the rule. Direct
rays of the sun are the best practical
germ destroyers that we have. Sun
light also aids in warming the barn,
thereby making it possible to secure
better ventilation

INFORMATION FOR
PIGEON BREEDERS
Always Strive to Establish a
Breed of Birds to Equal or
Excel Any Yet Produced.
CBy FREDERICK A. soTrER)

CBy FREDERICK A. soTTER.)
Dirty feed, like dirty coal, produces
no results.
Don't imagine too fabulous profits
from squabbing.
To produce the fact from the theory
requires good sound effort and judg-
ment.
System is as necessary In squad
plant as it is in department store.
Keep an accurate account Of every
pair of birds and the young they hatch.
Then weed out the sluggards.
One hundred squads weighing from
IA to Is ounces apiece, are worth more
dollars to the squabber than two hun
dred at half the average weight, and
they cost less to feed. Make weight
and quality of your meat your first
consideration.
One pair of thoroughly domesticated
birds is worth half dozen pairs of
imported birds. 1t takes year for
imported birds 10 become domesti-
Gated, and If you accept imported stock
you must finance your feed bills for a
year at least without any appreciate
returns from the birds. An extra 81
per pair for domestic birds is economy.
Set a loft or two aside at the start,
In which to place the finest youngsters
each week. Every plant needs an
emergency" loft and it is well to re-
member that you need to replace worn
out lofts occasionally.
Spend ten minutes every morning
thinking what you can do for the bet
terment of your squad plant on that
day. Then do it.
Always aim to establish a breed Of
birds to equal or excel any yet pro-
duced. Place your ideal high enough
that you may always have something
to work for.

NOT A MERE POETIC MYTH
Abundant Proof Of the Existence Of
Woman Warriors Known as
Amazons.

For a long time 1t was held that the
story OF the AmaZons, the valiant race
of woman warriors, so great favorite
with the Greeks and other people of
antiquity, was a mere poetic myth,
but within recent years archaeological
researches have indicated that there
were indeed woman fighters of high
rank in those remote days.
A couple OF years ago there was un.
earthed a sepulcher in that part of
Italy known as Etruria, in which was
discovered war chariot Of bronze
and iron, wherein was crouched the
skeleton OF a woman. About this
skeleton we're the remains of rich
robes and ornaments of gold and ivory,
such as, in the old traditions, the
Amazons wore in battle. The bronze
work and the terra Gotta vases fixed
the date of the tomb as about 500 b. c.
The first stories of the Amazons as.
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor, but Etruria was
peopled from Asia Minor and had at.
tanned high degree of skill in certain
of the arts long before Rome was
founded. Such evidence as this tomb
asords is. in the opinion of more than
one authority, more convincing than
the pictures OF Amazons on the old
vases, or such legends as that OF
Queen Penthesila, who was said to
have led 5000 woman fighters to the
aid of Priam during the Trojan war.

ALCOHOL AND THE MAN.


Why should the sale and manufac.
ture Of alcoholic liquor be prohibited

countries of the world? The answer,
says Dr. Carolyn Geisel, In her lecture

found In the brain and body of man,
She shows a chart containing the pho
tographs of two brain cells-one from
the brain of normal man who had
worked all his life for the good OF
humanity and bequeathed his body
after death to the dissecting table;
the other from the brain of an alco.
holic, victim of the liquor traffic,
who had gone to Paris and died in dis,
grace, and whose body was taken to
the clinique, where the bodies OF
criminals, paupers and detectives are
used for dissection. The picture OF
the two brain cells shows the normal
with its multitude of fine fibers, all
elastic for the life vibrations like
beautiful plume of feathers, and the
abnormal, mere skeleton OF what II
once was, distorted, stunted and thick.
