It is there- fore Important that the dairyman secure a healthy herd and provide conditions far maintaining thein in the proper manner. In the stable there must be good ventilation to insure proper health and vigor of the herd. oxygen is as much a food as meal,and plenty of air is needed to supply it. Carbonic acid and other impurities cast off daily by the lungs are poisonous and must be gotten rid of. It is iinpossible for the cow to reach her maximum production or long maintain health, in the abseace of pro- per ventilation. It has been advised that an animal should have as many OUble feet of space as the number of pounds live weight. Space, however, is net so essential as the frequency With which the air is changed. We know the stable is properly venti- lated whe,n we fail to detect any strong or disagreeable odors. upon en- tering it, and when we find no mois- ture collected ou the ceiling and walls, When windows are used the cold air enters the stable near the ceiling, drives the warm air out at the other aide and the cold air at the door is lefil undisturbed. ROW TO VENTILATE STABLE, To reserve the hcat derived from the bodies of the animals, ane at the earn° time remove the impurities, the King system ef ventilation is to be recommended. That consists in al- Ipwing 500 to 1,000 cubic feet of space fez* each animal, and making provision for a change of air at the rate of 3,000 cubic feet per hour for each animal, bringing in the fresh air at the ceil- ing and reraovi»g the cold air from the bottom of the stable, Plenty ot windows should be pro- ei,.ece: auntie:It is a disinfectant, and acts as an invigator and a tonic.

Malt sprouts should be fed in limited quantity, Wet brewery grain's should be fed in tight man- gers, in limited quantity and should be obtained frequently from the source of supply. Silage should be fed after, and not before nor during milking, in order that it may not taint the air of the stable, and be absorbed by the milk. Silage, no doubt, affects the taste of milk, as do other foods, but this taste Is not objethionable. Garlic and oth. er weds in the pasture often cause un- desirable flavors in'the milk. In these cases the trouble may be neutralized by taking tbe cows from the pasture several hours before milking. The impure air of the stable is one of the main causes for the bacterial infection of milk. For this reason no dry or dusty foods eshould be fed during or for one hour before milk- ing. Cows should be supplied with water from wells, springs or running streams. All pond holes in the fields should be fenced off so that the cows cannot gain access to them in any case. Cows should not be permitted to drink from pools of stagnant water in the fields or in the barnyards. Watering troughs tehould be kept clean and supplied with fresh. water from day to day. FARel NEWS AND VIEWS, Following is the dry cure for hams as recommended by President H, J, Waters, of the Eansas Agricultural -College: For each 1,000 pounds; of meat use the following: Forty pounds common. 801, 10 pound e New Orleans sugar, four pounds black pepper, one and a half pounds of saltpeter, half a pound of cayenne pepper. Weigh the meat and take such part of the Ingre, dients im that is a part of the 1,000, Let the meat cool thoroughly. After mixing the ingredients, half the am - omit Memel be rubbed well into- the meat. Put the meat in a dry, cool place -never in a cellar, Let it remain two weeks, then rub on the remainder of the eUre and let it lie about six weeke, when it is ready to hang. It is import- ant that the meat be well rubbed eaeli time the cure is applied, and that Plenty of the cure be forced into the heck end and around the joints. Less mire should be used on thin sides than cn the Joints. The heavier and fatter the meat the longer the time required for curing. The warmer the weather.

At the outbreak of the American Revolution and for a period of seven- ty.five years following the conclusion of that struggle whaling was the niost important branch of the American fisheries. From 600 to 700 VeseelS sought whales in all the oceans and seas of the world, and In one year New Bedford alone sent. out 300 ves- sels, whose cargoes of bone and oil were the basis of the industrial life of the city. The 'pursuit of sperm whales reach- ed its climax in 3837, when oil valued at nearly $4,600,000 was brought in, mostly from the south Pacific. The height of the industry was in 1840, /when 70,000 persons derived their stip- port from whales and 720 Vessel" val- ued at $21,000,000, were engaged. For more than fifty years the fish- ery has been declining, and in numer- one ports that . once derived most of their wealth front the industry there have for a long time' existed only reernories of forraer greatness. For a number of yeas tho sperm, eight and bow head ‚whales that supported the fishery in early years have ben very scarce, and their persuit has been ma profitable, and the preseut im:portance of the whale fishery, amounting in vale() to. less than 2 per cent. of the American_ fisheriee, depends on the taking -from shore statioes of species of Whales that formerly were for the most part neglected, • • ,-• Charity's Reward. • There is going the rounds of the clubs where certain of the town's phy. siciatis and surgeons -meet a story of eta riling doctor who had number of charity came.
