VENTILATING A BARN.
To Keep Stock inn Healthy Condition
It Must Have Plenty of
Fro-h Air.
Bad air in close barns is a.fruitful
- cause of .disease among dairy stock, es-
pecially the dreaded tuberculosis or
cow consumption. An effective meth-
od of ventilation is used' In the Wiscon-
sin experiment station barn. It was
devised by Prof. E. E. King, who thus
describes it:
A single ventilating flue (D E) rises

above the roof of the main barn and
is divided below the roof into two arms
(A B D), which terminate near the
level of the stable floor at A A. These
openings are provided with ordinary
registers, with valves, to be opened and
closed when desired. Two other ven-
tilators are placed at B B, to be used
when the stable is too warm, but are
provided with valves, to be closed at
other times. C is a direct 12-inch ven-
tilator leading into the main shaft and
opening from the ceiling so as to admit
a. current of warm air at all times to the
main shaft to help force the draft.
This ventilating shaft is made of gal—
vanized iron, the upper portion being
three feet in diameter. The covering
on the outside is simply for architect-
ural effect. The air enters the stable
at various points as shown in the plan
at F G and in the vertical section by
arrows at F G.—Orange Judd Farmer.
DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
Don’t try to make good butter v hen
milk and oleam aie kept in unventiv
lated cellars.
Turn oil the old cows. It is not wis-
dom to keep-cows after they are eight
years old, as a rule.
Whenever you see black pepsin rec-
ommended for the increase of the but-
iter product, count it as a fraud.
Do you know what profit each of your
cows yield you? If you are a butter—
maker it is possible and profitable.
In selling a cow for a milker, be 110n-
est with the persons to whom you sell.
Establish a reputation for fair dealing.
Are you not aware that it takes extra
feed to "run” a cow in cold weather,
just as it requires extra coal to “run” :1
stove?
If any of our readers milk eight or
ten cows they cannot afford to set the
milk in cans. Separate. Get a sep-
ar‘ato1.
The d '1i1y is, without question, more
profitable than wheat gio“ ing in Min-
nesota and in many sectionsb of both
Dakotas.
If. aft e1 feeding the proper milk-
mzziki1g food to y our co“ 5, y on are s.ill
unableh to obtain a good quality of milk,
try giving her fat-1nal-zing substance
and dispose of her.
\Vh en anyone gets whore he thinks he
can learn nothing he might as well die,
and perhaps he will get somewhere
where there is something to learn.
There is a good deal for the best of us
yet to learn in the dairy.
livery pound of butter made in the
country should grade as prime butter,
and Will if all buttermakers will learn
all that readily can be learned about
th e bu si ness.—-Vl'estern Plowman .
I-Illgh Feeding and Gargct.
As the cow or otherbreediug animal
approaches time of parturition. high
feeding, either to stimulate milk flow
or to make it richer, should for the time
be suspended. 0f the two, the kinds‘
that tend to make the milk richer, or, in
other words, to 'fatten the cow, are
worst. But we should not advise any
farmer to feed heavily with grain which
will cause fever and make the animals
feverish, though this may be nature’s
effort to lessen the milk flow so that
the udder can hold it. The food should
be laxative rather than constipating.
En silage and roots Ofall kinds are good
if not given in too large amounts. The
only grain given should be three or four
nubbins of corn daily until the calf is
dropped. The cow will out these readi-
ly, and they will cleanse the stomach
preparatory to the time when parturi-
tion begins—American Cultivator.
Tent Each and Every Cow.
What we dairymen should aim at is
. to secure the best cows we can, and try
testing each cow’s milk separately and
ascertain for sure whether they pa y for.
their keeping and give us a little profit.
We can be satisfied with a small profit.
but cannot afford to keep cows at a
loss for the benevolent purpose of sup-
plying dairy products to consumers at
watchword, and the poorer cows kept
only until their places can be filled by

The ‘Wzir Secretary '31in All Rulnora
_ Are 'Vc'ithout Foundation.
“'ASHINGTON, April 15.—-Secretary
Alger has put an effective quietus on
the persistent reports that he contem—
plated retirement from the cabinet by
a positive and unequivocal statement
that the reports were absolutely with-
out foundation and that unless some
unforeseen and unlooked for contingen—
cy arises he pr oses to remain secre—
tary of war thrfighout this administra-
tion.
SecretaryAlger had his attention call-
edto rocent rumors that he would re-
sign afte1 the investigation into the
condL ct of the war and incident mat—
texs cease and that his successor had
already been determined upon. He said
all statements of this character were
false; that he has not entertained any
such intentions and that they Were in-
stigated with the evident purpose of at—
tempting to force him to leave the cabi-
net. I—Ie' said he purposed to pay no at-
tention whatever to these attacks.
The secretary authorized an absolute
denial of the reports and stated that he
would remain in his- present oflice
throughout his regular term. Of course,
he added. if there should be a great dis-
aster in his private business affairs or
he should be stricken in health or some
such wholly unexpected and sudden
event occur it might actuate him to re-
sume his private life as a matter of
course, but he had
resigning, and his determination to re—
main. dcspite reports to the contrary,
was fixed and unaltsrable.

The Number Undoi- Indictment Re-
duced to Eight.
CHARLESTON, April 15,—Vs'hcn the
government rested its case in the Lake
City lynching trial here yesterday
morning, counsel for the defense sug-
gested that the names of Clark, Kelly
and E. Rodgers be dropped from the
indictment, as they had not been con-
nected with the murder by the evidence.
District'Attorney Lathrop accepted the
suggestion, thus leaving eight men 51:;
the bar. The defense announced that it
would seek to show Baker was killed
by a. masked mob that rode into Lake
City, and, further, to establish alabis
for the defendants.
J. A. Green swore Epps was at his
home on the night of the lynching till
near midnight. Admitting this, he
might still have been with the lynchers.
J. D. Goodwin, a brother-in—law of Me-
Knight, swore he was at the house 01‘.
the latter until midnight on Feb. 21.
.Clerk of Court Grayson of Williams-
hurg and other witnesses were put up
to show that Newham, the man who
turned state’s evidence, was in Kings-
tree the day before the lynching. News
ham testified he n as in Lake City all of
that day.
Sixteen witnesses were examined for
the defense. The meat material of them
admitted being closely related to one or
another of the defendants.
