works Ike a chimney. The warm air
chimney the same as the warm air
from 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 ventilating fiues 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 it is constructed. Venti-
latOrs are like chimneys-sometimes
the draft is strong and sometimes it is
less satisfactory.
Besides the tendency of warm air to
go 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 oyer the top of
ventilator has 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
drafts or Increasing natural draft
through a ventilating flue. Manufac-
turers have given especial attention to
the building of metal ventiiatOrs from
the stable up, so that the whole sub
ject is receiving careful attention
from different sources

THE VERANDA BOX.

An ideal veranda box is planted with
roses down its center, and the remain
ing space filed with standard climbing
and dropping ANIMALS.
The veranda box should be Is inches
wide, ten inches deep and as long as
desired. Bore an inch hole through
every square foot of the bottom of the
box, then put in layer of broken
crockery, pebbles or cinders for drain
age.
Roses thrive best in rich but firA
soil; therefore stiffen the soil with
clay, and enrich with well-rotted cow
manure.
Plant the roses, If teas, six inches
apart, and if hybrids twice that dis
tance, and firm the soil well about
them. Place the boxes where they will
get the sun most Of the day.
When the roses bloom, cut back to a
strong and well-developed bud and in
short time this shoot will grow and
develop into a rose.
Water thoroughly when the soil is
dry to the touch, but never sprinkle
roses when they need watering.
Late in the fall carefully remove the
roses with plenty of soil and pack them
together in a well-drained corner Of
the garden.
Bury them In strawy manure and
leaves held down by cornstalks or thick
brush.
Next spring, when the roses start
into growth, cut back to within five or
six inches of the ground, and plant into
their boxes with new soil. Disturb the
roots as little as possible.

SPINACH EASY TO GROW

You can sow spinach in the early
spring and get a good crop, but you
will have an earlier crop from fall
Sown seed.
1t is a gross feeder and for best re-
suits requires rich soil. If small
area only is available, it may be sown
broadcast in beds; but by all means
sow in drills, If possible, as the ground
can be kept loose and free from weeds
during the summer.
For all regions north Of the Ohio
river the winter protection should be
given and this may consist of coarse
litter of any kind. In general, mulch
ing is not required south Of that line.
In the North the covering serves two
purposes: Not only protection from
freezing but it is also more easily gath
cred when thus protected from snow.
AS to varieties for autumn sowing
the Prickly Winter and Long Stand
ing are the best. OF the former va
riety the term "prickly" applies only
to the seeds; not to the foliage or
edible part.
Long Standing is named from its
habit of remaining in an edible condi-
ton for long time before going to
seed.

air 10 each COW in a crowded stable
containing 80 or 40 head is no easy
task.
The Importance OF pure air has only
recently begun to be thoroughly appre-
ciated by farmers for the reason that
cows until recent years have never been
kept In large numbers on the farm.
Formerly dairy farm consisted
of five or ten cows that were stabbed
In one side of loosely constructed
barn TO be fed and MIXED. During
the greater part of the "a hours, they
were turned out into the barnyard to
forage around the straw stack or uh-
der the sheds.
The increased value of live stock
during recent years has resulted In
the building Of barns to accommodate
large numbers OF cows. Likewise
horses are better stabbed, because
farmers have recognized the value of
good buildings. Many of these build
ings are equipped with thorough sys'
TENS of ventilation. but, unfortunate.
ly, some have been constructed on old
lines v'hOut proper consideration for
the n, or requirements of large
numbers of cattle In close confinement.
Professor King probably did more
than any other man to call attention
to the great necessity of changing the
air in stables constantly days and
nights. His ventilating systems were
constructed TO admit cold, fresh air
from outdoors In such n way as to
spread II out over the cattle near the
ceiling. This forced the cold air down
ward I'm the stable and outward to the
outlet ventilators that have their open
ings near the floor ut the outside
walls.
The natural tendency of warm air
is to rise TO the ceiling and spread In
every direction and settle to the floor
Mt side walls. Impure stable air Is
heavier than fresh pure air, because
the weight of impurities carries II
down. Theoretically, the Out-take from
near the floor at the outside Of stables
is correct. Sometimes other means of
extracting impure air are employed,
because of local conditions.
The principle of ventilating is based
on the tendency of warm air to go up.
A properly constructed ventilatOr

Floor Plan.

over the COW stable is the same level,
but the COW stable floor is built diff
ferently so that the head room over
the feed alley is only little over 8
feet. Eight feet of head room in a
COW stable is about right for ventila-
ton, but horsemen prefer a 9-foot
ceiling In a horse stable.
Over the stable is a gOod-sized NOW
which is used for hay and bedding,
put in with a horse fork through the
large door in the end. The hay and
straw are let down through a chute
which opens into the horse stable
near the center partition to avoid
scattering dust through the COW sta
BILE.
One of the most important consider
ations in any type of stable is the
ventilation.
One of the best tests for ventilatiOn'
in stables is whether or not there is
n noticeable odOr when entering from
the fresh air outdoors.
The most penetrating Odor is am
mOnia. When animals are confined in
well-built stable they are constantly
throwing off through the breath guam
titles of devitalized air. Experiments
have been conducted to show that
mouse confined in a Jar that is filed
with the breath of an animal will die.
Prof. F. H. King showed that a cow
needs twice as much pure air by
weight as the food she consumes,
which means that COW will breathe
$500 cubic feet of air per hour.

WORK-A-DAY NOTES
BYE. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

If the season is a dry one some OF
the plants in the garden will have TO
be watered If you want flowers from
them. This is especially true of the
dahlia. Use enough water to pene-
trate all the soil in which their roots
grow, and see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting tomor-
row or for a week to come isn't the
proper thing. Save the suds from
wash day for this purpose. The soap
in the water will benefit the plants.
If there are some windows about
the house where you would like to
have some plants growing, and no pro-
visions have been made Tor boxes for
them, don't foregO the pleasure be-
cause 1t seems to be late in the sea-
son. Use Coleus instead of Towering
plants. A row of the yellow variety
about the outside Of the box with scar
let in the center, will make your win
dow brilliant with color, and as these
plants are of rapid growth you will not
have to wait long for results. They
will often be found more satisfactory
than Towering plants, because their
richly cOlored foliage will take the
place of flowers, and it will be in evil
dence at all times; while few flower
ing plants will afford constant show
of color.
The gray Centaurea and the orange
yellow Pyrethrum Golden Feather)
can be used with the scarlet and yell
low varieties of COleus, with fine eff
feet.
Don't be sparing of water on your
window boxes. Ninety-nine cases of
failure out of a hundred result from
lack of sufficient water. Being ex-
posed to the air on all Sides evapora-
ton takes place very rapidly. Apply
water by the pailful instead of the
bowlful, and there need be no failure
to grow just as good plants in the
window box as in the garden beds
Be sure to apply substantial sup
ports for the dahlias. If this is not
done you will be likely to find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rainstOrm. The stakes
should be at least four feet tall-al-
low an extra foot and half for in
sertion in the grOund-and they
should be an inch through and Of good |
sound wood. Paint them a dull green
and they will not be unpleasantly OBJ
trusive. Tie the stalks to them with |
broad strips of cloth instead of
strings. The latter will cut into the
tender branches when they are |
whipped by the wind.
Beds Of geranium are exceedingly |
ornamental, provided they are kept in
tidy condition. This can only be done
by keeping fower-trusses picked off.
If the faded flowers are allowed to
remain l know of no plant that can
take on a more unslghtly, slovenly
look. OF course all the buds in
truss do not develop at the same time,
and one does not like to destroy un-
developed flowers, but the clusters can
be made to look clean and attractive

fer large cows and they breed with
that end in view.
In building a dairy stable dairy
man is governed by local conditions.
The stalls given in this plan are
plenty wide and long enough for Jer-
seys or other breeds of cows weighing
up to 1000 pounds.
The alleyway in the center Of this
stable is built wide to drive through
with the manure spreader and for the
handling of bedding and other litter.
The horse department is partitioned
away from the cow stable by good
board partition that reaches to the
ceiling. The two doors opening into
the horse end of the barn are hung
with weights, so they always pull
shut. Most farmers like to have the
horses and cows entirely separate.

ment is 9 feet in height. The ceiling

Richard, the hunchback, has the most
sinister reputation, his only rival being
the crafty John. He died on BoswOrth
