stables are built for the purpose Of
keeping cows comfortable In cold
weather, SO they can benefit by the
feeding Of carefully compounded ra-
tons, worked out under the most ap-
proved feeding systems.
This plan provides foul-air shafts to
take the devitalized air from near the
floor behind the cows and to carry it
up to be disposed of by the metal ven
tilators on the roof. Fresh air from
outdoors Is supplied to the cows by in
take shafts that enter the building just
above the concrete wall. From here
the fresh air is carried to the ceiling
and let out over the cows in such q
way as to prevent draft, so the fresh
air from outdoors mixes with the
stable air, which becomes heavier as
1t loads up with impurities, so that 1t
settles to the floor and is carried off
as above mentioned.
In the horse stable there are two
ventilating 1ues to carry off the foul
air, but fresh air is admitted into this
end of the barn through various doors
and windows.
The general plan Of both stables Is
the same. The center feed alley and
the two manure alleys extend clear
through the building and have outlet
doors at the four corners. There is

are sliding doors in the partitions

needed.
The construction of the foundation

from the ordinary, because it is car

this construction the windows are

Before sending out the various
Potash and Perlmuttern companies
that viii interpret the famous play

that 'sPotash ard Perlmutter" ran for
nearly TWO years at that theatre. Not
single one of these actors was finally
signed for tour, until he had demon
strated his or her ability to please a
discriminating audience and when the
companies finally left for the road,
Manager Woods had satisfied himself
that every organization was "ore
hundred per cent good. FPotash
and Perlmutter'' come to the Rhode on
Thursday night, April Doth with just
such company of splendid artists, all
of whom have played at the Cohan
Theatre to capacity audiences. In the
cast will be: Lew Welch, Jules Jor-

this connection. however, II will be
well to bear In mind that an inch Of
rainfall weighs 221 900 pounds per
acre. Extended observations through
experiments conducted In Europe and
In this country show that almost all
cultivated crops withdraw from 300 to
800 tons OF water from the soil for
each ton of dry matter produced.
Does this mean that tne grain farmer
can grow bushels per acre for each
