IMPORTANT FEATURES OF GOOD VENTILATING SYSTEM Jn Order That Our Dairy Products May Rank "'—her More Attention Must be Given to Health and Saniiatlon—One Plan. sA Is, jS|JL Method of Running Ventilator Flues. Fresh Air Is Admitted at the Bottom and Foul Air Taken Out at A and B. (By J. H. FRANDSON.) Through mistaken ideas of some writers, many of our farmers have de veloped the idea that to keep cows healthy and comfortable and to pro duce sanitary milk it is absolutely necessary to have expensive barns. As a matter of fact many of the dairy barns where sanitation is the primary object are quite inexpensive. On the other hand if It is to be. conveniently arranged to embody the most accepted sanitary features, it is very essential that some attention be given to the plan 3 and specifications of the barn that is to house the dairy herd to the best advantage. Every detail of a new barn should be care fully worked out before actual con struction takes place. The illustration here shown will, it Is hoped, give the builder some new Ideas as to how the barn can be made more sanitary. In building a dairy barn, or any other kind of a barn for that matter, the plans must be worked out to suit different conditions and locations. Hardly any two sites wou'.d permit exactly the same plan being used. If wholesome and sanitary milk is to be produced the farmer should realize that the cows must be kept out of the mud as much as possible. Conditions In and around the barn can, In many cases, be greatly improved by draining and grading Draining is not of itself sufficient, as the tramping of the cattle soon puddles the surface, thus practically preventing the water from reaching the tiles below. The barnyard should have good elope, such as will Insure good surface drainage, and should have a good top layer of gravel or cinders. In many places this may involve a great deal of work, but even if the grading can not all be done in one year arrange ments ehould be made by which at least part of it is done every year.

For this reason In planning our barns much more attention should be paid to the question of securing sufficient light. It Is said by authori ties on the subject that four square feet of window light should be allowed for each cow in the barn. Long win dows reaching well to the ceiling have been found the most satisfactory for the reason that the light coining through them can reach all parts of the barn better than if the short win dows are used. It is also of Importance to remember that there Is no better way of preventing the spread of tuber culosis in our herds than by admit ting plenty of sunlight and fresh air into the barn. The height to ceidng differs some what according to different Ideas of the builder, but the height should be sufficient to give ample air space In the structure. The important features of a good system of ventilation are that It pro vides a constant supply of pure, fresh air, that the fresh air Is admitted near tha ceiling and that the impure air Is taken cut near the floor. The fresh | cold air should be admitted near the I celling, so that it may, by contact with 1 the warm air, be tempered before reaching the cows By forcing the Impure air out near the floor less heat is lost and, as Is claimed by most au thorities. the major part of thfl Impure ! air is found near the floor where the | cows are constantly depositing many j of the impurities given off in breath | ing. A damp stable favors the breed ing of disease gerni3. A good system | of ventilation will carry away all extra moisture. No system of ventilation 1 can be successful in a barn where the I cracks and crevices in the walls per mit cross-currenta to Interfere with j the work of the ventilating flues.

My Dear Doctor: "Owing to some disagreement with magazine several years ago they have become quite vituperative, and of late have publicly charged me with falsehoods In my statements that we have genuine testimonial let ters. "It has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have writ ten to us in a complimentary way, and we have declined to accede to the demand of attorneys that we turn these letters over to them. "I am asking a few men whom I deem to be friends to permit me to reproduce some of their letters over their signatures in order to refute the falsehoods. "We have hundreds of letters from physicians, but I esteem the one that you wrote to me in 1906 among the very best, particularly in view of the fact that it recognizes the work I have been trying to do partly through the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' "I do not sell or attempt to sell the higher thought which is more Impor tant than the kind of food, but I have taken considerable pains to extend to humanity such facts as may have come to me on this subject. "In order that your mind may be re freshed I am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of the little book, and if you will give me the privilege of printing this over your signature I will accompany the printing with an explanation as to why you permitted Its use in publi cation in order to refute falsehoods, and under that method of treatment I feel, so far as I know, there would be no breach of the code of ethics.

HITB SCHOOL BOOK COMPANIES. Governor Marshall Castigates Book Publishers Who Attempted to Foist County Uniformity on Graded Schools. Indianapolis. Governor Marshall, In his message to the Indiana general assembly went after the big school book companies that sought two years ago, to foist county uniformity of text books upon the schools of Indiana. In his message, Governor Marshall says: "Two years ago the representatives of foreign school book publishing houses opened up a lobby in Indianap olis pretending that the presence of their representatives here was ex clusively philanthropic and that they had come into Indiana to show us how defective our school system was. I always suspect that philanthropy which results in large pecuniary gain to the philanthropist." Governor Marshall's stand will de ter school book publishers from at tempting to Jam a county uniformity measure through the legislature. Uniformity Bill In Ohio. Columbus. —Senator Yount has In troduced a bill in the senate providing for county uniformity of school text books. It applies only to the elemen tary schools in the rural districts and villages. Because cities are left out farmers and educators are opposing the measure. Their argument is that "If uniformity is bad for the cities It Is Just as bad for the country," and that it would cost millions to install county uniformity. The Yount measure would give county commissioners and probate Judges power to appoint the board that selected books. The matter of selection would be taken wholly from the hands of boards of education and school superintendents. Senator Yount's argument for the measure iB that it would save money to the people while the opponents in sist that it would throw the school book question into politics; that It is against home rule; and that It would result in a county board taking com plete charge of all school affairs, in cluding hiring of teachers and control of the physical property of a school district. A similar measure was de feated in the legislature last winter. Habit Grows. "I hate to see a little country buy ing its first battleship." "Why?" "Reminds me of a boy taking his first smoke."
