outside blinds, painted dark green.
This is for the purpose of shutting 1t
up dark after the cows are MIXED In
the morning in summer. When the
blinds are shut the stable is so dark
that flies will not stay in it. Dairymen
have taken lessons from good house
keepers in this respect. Flies will
crawl out Of a very small crack to get
from darkness to light. You can't
shut flies out of COW stables that is,
you can't shut them all out; but it is
possible to shut up a stable like this
so dark that they will all leave it be-
tween morning and evening milking
hours.
Of course, the cows will carry flies
in with them when they are stabbed in
the afternann, and this cannot be
avoided very well. However, some
New York dairymen have dark pas
sageways leading to the stables, where
a good many flies are brushed off by
the attendant as the cows pass in. One
dairyman experimental with station
ary brushes In a dark paSsageway,
which is an automatic way of brush
ing the flies off the cows as they enter
the stable.
Easter dairymen usually are well
supplied with small hills or banks on
which to arrange their stables, barn
Yards, etc. For this plan, a gently
sloping bank, falling away towards the
south or southeast, is preferable. The
north is usually protected by a group
of trees or high board fence.
During the last ten years stables
have grown in size and dimensions

fully made and adjusted as the win
dows in the house. The system OF
ventilation in this stable is a eombina-
| ton system, with the ceiling openings
that permit the ventilators to carry
| off the warm air from the top Of the
| stable in summer.
There may be built-in the concrete
floor in the feed passageway-a cen
| tral air duct to admit fresh air. Over
this air duct is placed a wooden walk
built of 2 by 4 cross pieces, with the
boards nailed on lengthWise. This
leaves an opening between the 2 by
cross pieces for the entrance of all
into the stable directly in front of the
cows noses.
According to the principle of warm
air circulation, this arrangement l;
theoretically correct. Air is admitted
in the center of the room that is prop
erly proportioned and close enough
built to prevent the influence of out
side air currents. The cold air from
outside is heated by the lungs and the

body warmth of the cows. Warm air
will rise to the ceiling and spread in
every direction. AS it loads up with
impurities, and as its temperature is
reduced, the air becomes heavier. AS
it reaches the outer walls it descends
and is drawn through the outlet ffues
from near the floor behind the cows.
Practical stable ventilation must be
studied for each building separately.
What will work out in one stable
would be useless in another, because
of some popularity in the structure.
This center horizontal air duct is
worth a trial. Being made of con-
crete, it may be kept perfectly clean,
and, being open, it is less of harbOr
for rats and mice than some of the
wall air ducts that are placed in sta
b1es. This center walk is made in
sections, so it may be lifted up and
rested against the froNt of the manger
while the stable is being swept with a
broom or cleaned with hose.
Any system of stable ventilation re-
quires a temperature above SO de-
grees F. to keep air in circulation. A
temperature above so may be main
tanned in a good stable in zero weather
by packing the cows close enough to-

amount of air space required for ami

never been settled to the satisfaction
of dairymen, But good cowmen like

with French tucks. 1t is cut after the
usual manner of blouses, it's seams are
hemstitched, sleeves plain and roomy
and, so far, all the details of its con-
struction are all like tried old friends
with whom we have long been famil-

of this blouse thought of adding an
Organdie- collar and cuffs made of a
fine organdie edging, and Of shaping
the collar in new way. Furthermore,
the dainty embroidered edge of the
organdie is lifted into prominence by a
narrow border of black organdie.
The collar is high at the back and
rolls at the front, the wiry texture of
the material making this pretty adjust
ment to the neck possible. The cuffs
are simply lengths of the embroidered
organdie, turned back and fastened at
the top with single pearl button. The
means by which it's maker arrived at
such good ends in this blouse are the
simplest. But the touch of sheer black

and the whole effect is one of utmost
refinement.
Among other new models there are
noted several with collars shaped and
put on in the same way as that shown
in the picture. Often they are filet
lace and sheer embroidery combined
and sometimes of two laces. They are
usually smaller. The high roll at the
back and the partially closed but cool
looking throat opening is piece of
fine management.

is liver St1mulant ana gem
tie laxative, for it's virtues are
too well known. The mineral matter
which it contains is not so well under
stood, and this is the chief or one of
the chief important elements which
make the fruit highly valuable. Oran-
ges contain phosphates, which are a
nerve food and are most useful in
cases Of insomnia. AS q refreshing
tonic, to be entirely successful it should
be eaten at least half hour before
breakfast. The juice strained may be
given to very young children, not too
near the milk feeding. The orange
may be served in such a variety of at
tractive ways. Sliced oranges make
most attractive dish. Peel the orange
and remove all the white skin. Slice
very thin, removing any seeds if pres
ent; arrange the slices overlapping on
small glass platter or oblong plate,
sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar
and garnish with candied cherries.
AS a salad, q most delicious combina-
tion is oranges, pineapple, a few dates,
and quartered marshmallows served
with any dressing made thick with
whipped cream. When oranges are
used as salad for fish or duck, the
dressing should be French one, using
lemon juice for the acid.
For serving an invalid, the orange
should be peeled and all the skin
from each section removed; then ar
range around a mound of sugar and
serve. An orange prepared flower fash
ion is a most dainty way to serve the
fruit to an invalid. Cut down the skin
in eighths to within an inch from the
blossom end, then strip down in points
and fold or turn them in. The orange
may then be pulled apart in sections.
Another method is to peel the orange,
leaving an inch or half inch band
around the fruit, equator fashion.
Then spread open and the sections are
easily removed. 1.

The important development of dairy
farming during the last decade is very
forcefully indicated by the changes
Which have occurred in the stables
used On such farms. In the improve
ment of sanitary conditions around
such stables, one thing at a time has
been found wanting until the dairy
stable has come strongly into the at
tention of farm-building architects,
Ventilating experts and equipment en-
gineers causing it to be given a thor
ough overhauling and redesigning.
Several types have been established,
all of which aim to accomplish prac-
tically the same thing. Primarily, the
animals must be furnished the best
possible conditions in which to live
and, secondarily, the building must be
easy to keep clean.
This is an Easter COW stable. 1t has
some features which are different from
other good stables, some of which are
well liked by everyone who has tried
them out.
Where the winters are cold, as they
are where dairying has been conducted
to the best advantage, a stable really
should be built for warmth in winter
and clean, airy coolness in summer.

"Some children" said Daddy, "were

"Let's pretend we're awfully rich,'
said two of the children. we shall
have motorcars and we shall have
airplanes to fly in. We shall have
quantities of people to give orders
to. Well never have to tidy our rooms,
and Well never have to run errands.'
So they began to play.
''Three other children said, Let's
be very famous. We shall have all
the people in the world swarm around
US like the bees do around the flowers
for the honey. They shall say how
fine we are, how brave we ware, and
how noble They'll put up monuments

"And still three other children
wanted to play. we want to play
that we have a few animals. They
are such fun! More fun than any
thing. And if we treat them right
Well be loved so much. Yes, we shall

Preventing Wrinkles.

Light should fall over your left shoul-
der when you are reading, writing or
sewing If out in the sun when there
is snow on the ground it is best to wear
slightly smoked glasses to soften the
glare. They will be very restful to the
eyes, will not attract unpleasant atten-
ton in the country, and will prevent
chronic wrinkles. When the eyes are
very tired, bathe them with hot water
and bcracic acid.
The habit of raising the brOws con-
tinually will tend to produce wrinkles
