further wonders of scientific discovery
Meanwhile we can produce condi
tions which create wind on small
scale. All we have to do is to light
a fire In room, and the heated all
above the crate, being lighter than
the air in the room, ascends the chin
ney, while the cool outer air from the
landing or outside the window flows
towards the fireplace and draught Of
wind on small scale is created.
This law OF the ascension of warm
air and its replacement by cool air is
the secret OF effectual ventilation. II
is a matter Of keeping up artificially
constant circuit Of air, and, depen.
dent on the aspect Of the house and

One sometimes finds singular ignor.
ance Of the law Of circulation. A
friend will visit a patient lying Ill
with an infectious disease, and take
seat anywhere but where he should
do SO, /. e. In a line between the win
dow and the fireplace. or the open
door and the fireplace.
Another person tries to escape down
passage filed with smoke when the
house is on fire, but fails to avail him
self Of the freshest current of air near
the floor. He should creep on hands
and knees along that passage.
Even in these hygienic times people
are. to be found who insist on tightly
closing windows, door and ventilator
in the crate at night. preferring warm
but vitiated air to the energizing cur.
rent which, II it had the chance, would
renovate body and mind. 1t is worth
while visiting certain wards of hospi-
tails to see what part wind plays in
the treatment of the patients.
And now suppose We apply the i'm

earth were motionless the hot air
within the tropics would rise and flow
north and south to the poles. from
which directions the cold air would
move low down towards the equator.
The rotation Of the earth from west

know what they eat IT Christmasdde
In foreign countries?
The Frenchman's Christmas bill Of
fare, for instance, Is extensive and
varied and In many respects quite
different from our own. The great
Gallo national dishes are truf1ed tur-
key and black puddings, Of which
every Frenchman who can afford such
luxuries makes a very hearty meal at
Yuletide.
In Russia the Christmas meal consists
largely Of two dishes-one Of wheat
porridge served with honey and the
other a curious compound Of stewed
pears. apples, oranges, grapes and cher
ries, sweetened with honey and served
cold.
Italians, too, are fond Of rather
sweet and indigestible dishes, espe-
cially at Christmas. One Of their
favorite combinations is that Of eels,
periwinkles and vermicelli. while the
inevitable macaroni and spaghetti form,
of course, the principal articles Of food
at all times.
The German Christmas dinner offers
as its principal attraction the goose.

would feel that he had not had q real

WHAT or FUTURE pRospECTsp
Judging the Herd as a Unit.

Perhaps there is nothing which tends
to greater complacepcy and consequent
aversion to accepting new principles and
adopting new methods OF maintaining and
improving dairy herd than the all too
frequent practice of viewing and judging
the herd as unit. If the average pro.
duction Of the herd is-let US ssy-fairly
good, the owner Is often'im very re-.
luctant to admit that 1t can be improved
without larger expenditure than be con-
siders himself able to make. In excep-
tionsl cases this may be the fact. There
are doubtless instances where one may
be justified In judging the herd as q
unit. But the care, and patience, and
perseverance,, and faith which have
brought about this result indicate thai
some former mem bers Of the herd have
been judged individually and pronounc-
ed unworthy.
II the milch COWS of Wisconsin, that
is, II the cows kept for dairy purposes in
Wisconsin could bs individually judged
by their production, 1t would doubtless
be found that fully one-fourth of them
do not give milk enough In year to pay
for the feed they consume; that another
fourth may possibly just about do this;
and the remaining half must make up
the losses made by the first fourth and
return whatever OF profit is made.
This Is, indeed, sorry showing, not
withstanding that judged as unit the
dairy COWS OF Wisconsin show remark
able results, the total production ap-
proximating $1OO,OOO,OOO annually In
value. 1t is sorry showing for 1t ipdi-
Gates that one. half Of the COWS kept for
dairy purpoces In the state could be
slaughtered with resulting profit, not.
withstanding that for q time the total
revenue might be reduced.
With the facts before US 1t would be
useless to insist that similar proportions
of poor, medium, and profitable cows
obtain in every herd. 1t 10 nevertheless
true that there are not many herds
which would not be benefited by elimi.
mating some Of the less productive cows.
Our contention Is that every dairy
farmer should refrain from judging bis
herd as unit but instead thereof bring
each COW into the domestic court and re.
quire her to disclose the facts concern.
ing her capacity for producing milk. II
she cannot justify her retention in the
herd, let judgment be pronounced with
out fear or favor.
1t is not the dairy farmers alone who
make this mistake ofjndging herds and
families az units. The breeders OF dairy
cattle, who many times look for profit
from the sales of stock rather than from
dairy products, are quite apt to exploit
the unit rule. We are confirmed he.
levers IN and exponents of the theory
that "blood will tell" but 1t must not be
expected that every calf will inherit the
ability OF a phenomenal parentage and
kindred.-Hoard's Dsiryman.

nations holiday bill Of fare Is becom-
ing simpler with the course OF time.
An interesting comparison may be
made Of the Christmas dinners former
ly served in England and in this coun-
try with those Of today, albeit the lat
ter are by no means scanty.
The forbears Of modern Englishmen
must have possessed magnificent ap-
petites. Their hospitality was con-
Quoted on q scale that would make the
housekeeper Of today shudder. The
meal with which they commenced
their Christmas day, mere appetizer
to them, was ample enough to rob the
modern gourmet Of all zest for food
for several days. The sideboard Of the
old English mansion groaned under Its
leviathan round Of beef, Its corpulent
pork pie, the Yorkshire ham, the Drawn
and chine, while on the table itself
deviled turkeys legs, homemade sau.
sages, outlets and kidneys sent up q
mingled and grateful incense from an
environment of piles Of hot buttered
toast, new laid eggs, honey and fru-
menti.
But this repast, substantial as 1t was,
was trifiing as compared with the din
ner-the real dinner-that followed not
many hours after. The feast was her
aided by the boar's head, preceded by
seryitors who blew resounding -four
ishes on their trumpets. The boars
head itself was carried, sometimes on
dish Of gold or silver, into the ban
quoting hall at the head Of a stately
procession Of guests.
Then came the peacock, which was
served even more sumptuously than the
boars head. with its garnishing Of rose
mary and bays and its tusks orna-
mented with large apples. This is how
they used to prepare the peacock for
the feast: When 1t had been roasted and
dressed with stuffing Of sweet herbs
and spices and basted with the yolks
of eggs it was sewed into its feathers.
its beak was gilded. and 1t was borne
to the dining hall by danes Of high de-
gree, accompanied by the strains Of
minsrelsy.
Other features of the old time Christ
mas dinner included geese, turkeys,
capons, pheasants, sirlolns Of beef and
launches Of venison. That these were
washed down with gallons Of ale and
wine goes without saying. Indeed, an
other story might be written Of the
LIQUID element Of the old English din
ners.-Harper's Weekly.
