works like a chimney. The warm air
from the stable rushes up through the
chimney the same as the warm air
from a fire.
The size of stable ventilators regu-
lates the amount Of air to be drawn
off. The intake pipe should be large
enough to supply sufficient fresh air
for all the cows or other live stock
confined in the stable, and the ventila-
tors or Out-take pipes should conform
to the same carrying capacity.
For a stable containing 40 cows,
two ventilatOrs will be necessary, and
these ventilatOrs should measure two
feet square inside, figuring the move
ment Of air In the ventllating flues at
300 feet per minute. Not every two
foot ventilatOr carries air at the rate
Of 300 feet per minute. 1t depends on
the height Of the flue and the man
ner In which 1t is constructed. VENT.
lators are like chimneys-sometimes
the draft is strong and sometimes it is
less satisfactory.
: Besides the tendency Of warm air to
60 up, a movement of air In ventila-
tors depends on the proportion of the
ventilator to the amount of air to be
carried. Also the direction Of the
wind is an influence. What is known
as aspiration or suction induced by
the wind passing over the top Of a
ventilator has a good deal to do with
upward draft. Mechanical ventilator
tops are manufactured to increase as.
piratiOn.
Some of the ventilators render val.
liable assistance in creating artificial
or increasing natural draft
through a ventilating flue. Manufac.
turers have given especial attention to
the building of metal ventilators from
the stable up, so that the whole SUBJ
ject is receiving careful attention
from different urces

automobiles should be found. To list
them for the emergency of sudden
troops movement Is not enough. There
Is much work to be done now. The
most pressing work is the solution Of
our food problem, and it Is largely q
problem Of transportation, as the Off
Gals of the department of agriculture
are well war Short though many
Of u crops will be this year, many
thousands Of tons Of food are likely to
rot on the ground for lack of freight
cars to carry them to market. Another
Immense wastage is due to the fact
that the farmer who produces more of
any vegetable or fruit than he can use
at home. but not enough to make a
wagonlOad or carload, generally can
not prOftably bring 1t to market. We,
therefore, have a great waste of food
for lack of transportation, and a great
transportation power going to waste,
so far as any industrial purpose is con-
cerned. These two wastes should be
combined to form a great saving.
Not long ago a practical farmer and
an editor in a certain town were dis
cussing the food problem, and arrived

HOW TO USE CAR IN SERVING COUNTRY

How can I use my automobile Ia
the service Of my country
That Is a question which interests
almost every owner Of a machine In
America. Already a census is being
taken Of automobiles and their owners,
80 that when these are needed the gov
eminent can obtain them with the least
possible delay, writes Frederic ]. Has
kin In Chicago Daily News. There
nrs over 100000 autos in the country.
This is certainly a tremendous trans
pOrtation force. And its value is in
creased by the fact that a very large
part of these cars are owned only for
pleasure and so are not essential to our
present Industrial organization. Fur
thermOre. the ownership of an automo-
bile Is usually an indication of intellI-
gence and Of the possession of a certain
amount of property. We have then GER
tainly Over a million cars serving no
essential purpose except the recreation
Of their owners. These owners are
men and women Of better than aver
age ability who can afford to devote
time and money to the service Of their
country, and 1t may be safely assumed
that a large percentage of them would
like to render that service.

at the above conclusion. They also
evolved a plan which will probably be
put into effect.
The plan discussed wal to save as
much as possible Of the food which
would otherwise be wasted by forming
a volunteer organization of automo-
bilists to 60 about and gather It up.
Inasmuch as both the food and the
automobiles are undoubtedly available
In most sections of the country, the
plan should be workable.
Fruit and Vegetable Surplus.
The food supply gathered In this way
would consist chiefly Of the surplus
production Of fruits and vegetables
upon farms and suburban places. This
surplus production, which is generally
either wasted or fed to stock, is much
greater than most persons realize. It
Is due to the simple and inevitable
circumstance that no farmer can accu-
rately predict how much Of q given
truck Of fruit crop his garden or Or
chard will yield in a given year. For
example, n farmer who was consult
ed with regard to this plan said sew
eral tons Of good food were wasted
upon his place every year. because he
produced more than he could use In
fruits and vegetables, but seldom had
enough at any one time to make 1t
profitable to haul the stuff to market.
