NEED FOR WINDOWS
FOR LIGHT AND AIR
Keeping Stables Tightly Closed
During Cold Weather to Save
Feed Breeds Disease.

The windows in the horse and COW
stables should be so arranged as to
give an abundance of light and air.
Most old-style barns are dark and
often damp, this is particularly true
of the bank barn, the front stalls
having plenty of light and air and
the back stalls dark and the air i'm
pure.
If the barn faces the south, the
windows should be of fair size. The
average stable window is too small.
Windows of the size ordinarily used
in dwelling houses are the most con-
venient size. The windows should be
at least four feet from the floor. The
windows should be hung on iron
pivots so they can be opened to adj
NIT just the amount of air needed.
BY having ventilators arranged to
take in pure air from the outside OF
the stable and carry the foul air out
through the barn roofs the stock will
have an abundance of pure air at all
times and will have better health.
The old way of keeping the stables
tightly closed during the winter to
save feed is sure to cause lung fever
in horses and consumption in COWS.
No fermented manure should be al
lowed I'm the stables. Clean the
stables every morning and dust with
land plaster; the plaster will pre-
vent loss OF ammonia and keep the
air pure. Barns built on level ground
should have the windows set oppo-
site each other at each end and large
windows on the south and north
sides. In summer the windows
should be screened to keep out flies.
The stables should be so arranged
that the air will blow above the
backs of the cattle and not directly
on the body. Horses should not face
the full sunshine. This is the proper
time TO make needed repairs 10 the
stables and feeding sheds. Ordinary
six-light sash may be had for 90
cents each. A stable for ten head OF
cattle would need two sash.

FROM BABYLoNlAN WISE MEN
Came the Division Of the Hour as II
Has Been Recognized Through
out the Centuries.

The division OF an hour into sixty
minutes is OF ancient Babylonic origin
and has survived the reforms applied
to notation in the course Of the
worlds progress. Along with the dec
imal system in ancient Babylon there
was the sexagesimal system based up
on the count by sixties and original
ing in the discovery that there is no
number which has so many divisors
as sixty. 1t can be divided without
remainder by 2. 3, 4. 5. 6. 10, 70. 15, 20
and 80
Babylonians divided the suns path
into twenty-four parasanrs. the lat
ter representing about four and ono
half miles. The astronomers of that
day compared the progress OF the sun
during one hour to the progress made
by good walker during the same pc
riod OF time. each accomplishing one
parasang
The whole course OF the sun was
twenty-four parasangs. or $50 degrees,
and each parasang or hour was sub
divided into sixty minutes

GENERAL CARE AND
FEEDING OF HORSES
Farmers Often Give Animals Too
Much Attention-Spring Is
Busiest Time of Year.
By J. b. ANDREWS. Illinois Expert
mcnt Station)

CBy ] y. ANDREWS. Illinois Expert
ment Station.)
Much attention should be given to
the general care and feeding OF work
horses. However, these factors are
the least in need of remedying than
any of the others that enter into the
cost Of horse labor. Farmers ofttimes
give their horses too much feed and
care, which increases the expense and
does not add to their comfort or eff
cheney.
The number of horses kept and the
amount OF work per horse are the di-
rect cause OF the varying costs of
horse labor and they in turn depend
directly upon the system of farming.
All farm labor is divided into two
principal kinds. They are the fixed,
which must be done at a certain time,
and the nonfiXed. which may be done
at odd times. For example, the final
preparation Of the seed beds, planting
and cultivating are operations upon
the corn crop for which the time is
fixed, while blowing. hauling manure
and fertilizer are nonfixed as to time.
Husling corn is semifiXed. as It may
be done any time before the snow falls.
Cutting corn for fodder or for the silo
is fixed labor. The farmer should have
his work planned ahead so that he
will not have any of his non or semi
fixed operations to do when he must
be doing something that is absolutely
necessary. Flowing is a good example
OF nonfixed labor. Many discussions
have been held to settle the relative
value of spring and fall blowing from
the standpoint OF fertility. but few
have considered either as to the utili-
cation of farm labor.
In the fall there are times when
there is not much fixed labor to be
done. Other conditions being favora-
BILE. this is the time to pillow. The
spring is the busiest time OF the year
for horses and all work possible should
be done at other times. Every farmer
keeps a few extra horses for a whole
year for a few weeks Of extra work in
spring All OF these extra horses can
not be eliminated. but II the work was
so arranged the number could be re
duced and a great saving result.

Matter to BE Reasoned

There will be plenty of discussion
of the revenue proposals of Secretary
McAdoo; but it is likely that his plan
of pay as you go" will appeal to most
people and be accepted by congress.
The emergency that requires this
country to increase its revenue, say.
from a thousand to twelve hundred
millions of dollars year is not one,
that justifles issuing bonds The bill
hon-a-year now spent is raised without
grave imposition on anybody. To add
two hundred millions to this sum would
not be seriously noticed. so far as
concerns the countrys capacity to
pay, there need be no great worries.
but there is, of course. room for dis
agreement about the precise methods
through which money is TO be pro
duced.

TARIFF MUST WAIT
Intelligent Revision at Present
Impossible.
Conditions That VIII Follow European
Conflict Will Have to Be Properly
Understood Before Work Can
Be Undertaken.

A majority OF the members OF tho
Republican National committee, ac-
cording to a poll made by the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
World, believe the tariff will be the
principal issue in 1916.
To the Republican organization the
tariff is naturally an appealing ISSUE,
because the industries that demand
extortionate protection will be the
only source of Republican cam
paign fund. But how much OF a popu-,
lar issue is the tariff likely to be, and
how sharply are the rank and file OF
the two parties likely TO divide?
Until the war has ended and the
belligerent nations have begun their
economic reconstruction, there can be-
no intelligent revision of the tariff
If Elihu Root, Senator Gallinger, Sem
ator Lodge. Senator Penrose, Joseph
G.. Cannon, James r. Mann and Sem
ator Smoot were shut up in room
and asked to prepare a tariff bill
which would meet all the INDUSTRIAL
and revenue needs of the United
States after the war, they would be-
uSlpleSS. OeHdIOT OnOeTWOOus Opodh-
er Clark and all the Democrats who
helped frame the Underwood-S SIMMONS
tariff would be equally helpless. No
body knows; nobody can know.
Before the tariff can be revised in
diligently again. the American people
will have to discard most OF their,
parochial theories about imports and
face the issue frankly as great ques-l
ton in world economics. The United
States is now in position to hold a
commanding position in the worlds
trade, but it will not hold that position
long If it attempts to impose prohibit
tive duties on foreign imports. Dis
eliminating tariffs are a game that
two can play at. Great Britain. GER
many, France. Russia, Italy and Ja-
pan can erect tariff walls as easily as
we can. and unquestionably viii If We
try to close the American markets to-
them. 1t is only by trading with us!
that they can buy of us.

The care of the jack is not different
from the care of the stallion except
in the matter OF exercise.
The jack cannot be driven or worked
with satisfaction as it is a stubborn
animal and not easily handled
The jack should have a large lot
connected with his stall in which to
run when he pleases; he will not need
much exercise and will not take much.
The jack is a vicious beast and a
great fighter. Jacks have been known
to kill stations much larger than
themselves. The jack should never
be allowed a chance to get at another
animal. and the caretaker should ex-
ercise great care in handling him.
An ordinary stallion bit-curb, the
strap running under the chin, will not

Some people say jacks bite is
deadly poisonous. There may be moth
ing in that. but once a jack gets hold
of man his life is in great danger.
1t must not be understood that a
jack is, as rule, more dangerous
than stallion, except that he has
more bulldog in him, is less intelli-
gent, and is utterly without affection.
The jack requires about the same
ration as the stallion. He should have
corn and oats and plenty OF clean tim
othy hay with a bran mash once or
twice week to keep him in good
condition. He should be fed lightly
during the closed season.
The jack is the most fastidious ami
NAL about his drinking water, and
will not drink unclean water, nor will
he drink from trough or vessel that
has been used by other animals.
