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.

Too much stress cannot be laid on
the fact that we have no better disin
fectant than good, old-fashioned sun
light. 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.

SMALL SKINS
Excellent Methods Given for Pre

Muskrnt or Rabbit
for the Market.
The skins should—first he heated
by sprinkling fine salt over the flesh
sides then roll up and allowed to re
main for 12 months. If the pickling
method be preferred, the skins may
be Immersed In a strong solution of
brine. After being treated with the
salt, wash in cold water, and then all
the flesh and fat aci-aped off Then
sew together to form pouches with
hair Inside and placed In weak wattle
bark solution The wattle bark solu
tion is made by bolilug the bark and
having thu decoction stand for 2-4
hours, then taken out and skins are
left in this burk solution for 24 hours,
then taken out and allowed to draw.

Tho late Julia Ward Howe, though

"She once posed for me," said a
Boston painter the other day. "But
she hesitated a long time before con

Bome Self-Explanatory Letters.

Dr. E. H. Pratt,
Suite 1202, 100 State St.,
Chicago, Illinois.
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.
"I trust this winter weather is find
ing you well, contented and enjoying
the fruits that are yours by right.
"With all best wishes, I am."
Yours very truly,

My Dear Sir:
"I write to express my personal ap

"Grape-Nuts Is a good food in itself,
but the food contained in this little

the practice because I know that the

"The only hope for the betterment
of the race rests In Individual soul

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."
For over fifty years Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, and other painful ailments have
been cured by llamlins Wizard Oil. It is
& good honest remedy and you will not
regret having a bottle ready tor use.
The main difference between a pro
fessional man and a tradesman Is that
a great many times the tradesman can
buy and sell the professor.
Constipation causes nnd seriously aßprra
vates many disease'. It is thoroughly cured
by Dr. l'ierce's Pellets. Tiny sugar-coated

By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The Change of Life is the most critical period of a
woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time
invites disease.
Women everywhere should remember that there is no
other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully
carry women through this trying period as Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots
and herbs. Here is proof:'
Natick, Mass., —"I cannot express what I
i" went through during the Change of Life before
jl I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
W W pound. I was in such a nervous condition I
!;• Ki'l i|j could not keep still. My limbs were cold. I
i'jiiijjM v li had creepy sensations and could not sleep
|!|i! ifijllnights. I was finally told by two physicians
that I had a tumor.
" I read one day of tho wonderful cures made
YVU by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
irlill I and decided to try it, and It has made mo a well
mflri li 1/ 'lll ''lwoman. My neighbors and friends declare it
has worked a miracle for me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is worth its weight in gold for women during this
period of life. If it will help others you may publish this
letter." —Sirs. Nathan B. Greaton, 51 No. Main St., Natick,Mass.
ANOTHER SIMILAR CASE. '
Cornwallville, N. Y.—"l have been taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for SMy jpy-fMpl"'
some time for Change of Life, nervousness, and U "w
a fibroid growth. 1 jlm tL
"Two doctors advised me togo to the\
hospital, but one day while I was away visiting,
I met a woman who told mo to take Lydia E. '■
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so and I MPffv'
know it helped me wonderfully. I am very
thankful that I was told to try Lydia E.I Mr'-'i,'
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Wm. Bo ugh ton,
Cornwallville, N. Y., Greene Co.
The makers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound have thousands of such letters as those above
they tell the truth, else they could not have been obtained
for love or money. This medicine is no stranger — it has
stood the test for years.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for 7/1 \I \\
female ills. No sick woman does justice to UJf aa
herself who will not try this famous medicine. ) / Vat \ r
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and ( 17. 7/
