Straw Loft Gives Good
Ventilation in Houses

A cheap and very satisfactory cold
weather ventilation for poultry house
seems 10 be the straw loft. A loft
covered with woven& wire fencing or
even with light poles put across about
six and ane-half or seven feet above
tile floor and is covered with twelve to
fifteen inches Of loose straw. The
moist mir works up through the straw
and out through grafings or battles In
the ends just below the roof. Fresh
mir Is admitted by opening the south
windows little 1T the top. This
method has given excellent results in
experimental work II several agricul
tural colleges and Is used quite ex-
tensively by many commercial poultry
men. The point " favor Of the straw
loft seems to he that il lets out the
moisure fast enonsh to keep the
house reasonably dry and Mt the same
time retains much OF the animal heat.

We Cot Over 1t
1--WE Always Do

The year 1893 was panic year. Everybody
said it was the fault of the Federal Adnninistra-
ton Bread lines were common and real money
was as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth
In 1907 we went through another peri
cd of panic in business and industry
In 1927 we had another business slump
that caused the old folks to recall the
post-Civil War days.
This week marks the beginning of an
perched around on the highways and
by-ways, warming that it will be hard
winter and things will be much worse
before they are better. Maybe 50, and
maybe not.
The light and power industry
looks forward to the year 1881
with confidence in the future of
the United States, as it has in
the past. 1t will continue to i'm
prove and extend its service TO
the people, as it has in the past.
There is no place for pcssmism
