VENTILATING
THE DAIRY BARN,
1,1•4404.4,••••444.44.4.4.
`1'tle sliaxt;-ia seasons has arrived.
Malay 'ivllo• bare dairy cows are nailing
UP their barns and closing every possi-
ble opening that may allow the en-
trauce of fresh air, says Kitnbnli's
Dairy Farmer. in a measure this is
aright, for it is a mistake to have a
baric through which the wind whistles
and into which the snow drifts; but,
on the other hand, this pari of sealing
up every opening which will permit
the entrance of fresh air is a mistake.
People seem to have an idea that an
air tight barn is a warm barn. They
believe that they should bold all the
animal heat geuerated by the herd of
cows. As a result when one enters a
barn of this kind on a cold winter
morning he will be stifled by the close,
poisonous air that is especially no
ticeable when one comes in from the
fresh, pure outdoor air, The barn that
is most conducive to the healthful
housing of cattle is equipped with ven-
tilating flues large enough to carry off
the impure air and supply fresh air
for the cols without permitting any
drafts and without chilling the air in
the stable. It is just as much a mis-
take to try to keep cows without fresh
air as it is to try to live without fresh
air.
Of the two dairy barns, one sealed
up and the other equipped with au effi-
cient system of ventilation, the ther-
Reports of late official tests show
a record of more than 500 Jersey
cows and heifers that have made
records of 7,825 pounds of milk each,
or 422 pounds of butter fat, in twelve
months. At the average price of
25 cents per pound this would mean
an annual income of $105.50 from
each cow for t"utter fat alone, to
say nothing ,)f the skimmilk,
the calves or the fertility left , on
the farm. The cow shown herewith
is Great Scott's Champion, the
champion Jersey cow at the nation-
al dairy show.
urometer may stand a little lower in
the latter than in the former on a
very cold morning, but the pure air
of the ventilated barn, the lack of
moisture, the passing off of the foul
air from which the oxygen has been
consumed by the lungs of the cows,
will make the barns so much more
comfortable that the person entering
would immediately declare that the
ventilated stable was several degrees
warmer than the unventilated. The
barn that is sealed up so that no air
can pass out and no fresh air can
come in is loaded down with vitiated
air, which is really a poisonous gas.
Is it any wonder that the cows kept
in such stifling quarters are unprofita-
hle? Why deprive them of life giving
fresh air that is free and may be had
as a result of a little work and prac-
tically no other expense. Every man
who keeps dairy cattle should equip
his stable with systems of ventilation
that will take off the impure air near
the floor and let the fresh air in near
the cei;ing. In order to avoid drafts
the fresh air intake on the outside of
the ham is down near the sill, while
the outlet for the impure air is up
nr:,r the ceiling. Thus there is a coin-
s .ete passage and a circulation in the
barn through the ventilating shafts
that insures abundance of pure, life
diving oxygen all the time.
L`rhe idle Horse,
The horse that is idle may be win.-
ered very largely upon roughage, such
as hay, straw or corn fodder. It is
better to have the digestive tract of.
the idle ' horse well distended with
'coarse material rather than contract-
ed, as would be the ease if grains pos-
sessing only the requisite nutriments
wee supplied. If the roughage con-
' fists largely of very coarse material,
such as straw and cornstalks, some
grain should be fed in addition, say
four pounds of oats or corn, two in
the morning and two in the evening,
or, better still, two pounds of oats in
the morning and two pounds of corn
in the evening.
During the severe winter no greater
service can be rendered such a horse
than to provide him three times daily
with an abundant supply of fresh wa-
ter from which the icy chill has been
driven
Look Out For Frozen Bets.
Last year considerable loss cane to
stock owners in Wisconsin by feeding
frozen beets, says Iloard's Dairyman.
In one instance a farmer boiled up a
lot of such beets and fed his hogs. Al-
most the entire lot died In a short time
of paralysis of the heart, occasion-
ed, it is supposed, by serious gastric
disturbance. The chemical changes
caused by freezing and thawing evolve
a poisonous principle, Dr. Hadley of
the veterinary delmat'ttnent of the Mils -
cousin College of Agriculture has been
Malting in investigation of these facts,
and his conclusions are as ,we have
stated.
CoWs fat Cold Weather.
Gnu's will do as well or better in
cold weather than in Warm Weather if
they have good fed and elicitor. Milk
and butter bring higher prices at this
sen. oa, lied it is easier to keeps the
proatiict fresh.

My A -random is a. doctor.
You bet she is 0. I.!
don't care what those other quacks.
l`rom college have to say.
Iter garret is a drug store,
it amens just awful sweet
With herbs a-hangln' all around
In bunchea done up neat.
There's pennyroyal and boneset 1,
To take when you catch cold,
And sage to put upon your head
When your hair doesn't hold.
There's wintergreen, for backache
And horehound for A sneeze.
There's sassafras to cure the boils
When You can't sit 'with ease,
There's peppermint and catnip
To take for stomach ache.
They're awful good to iix you up
When you eat too much cake,
I don't remember all the herbs
That hang upon the wall,
I know they cannot kill me,
For I, have tried them all.
The funny thing about it --
There is no doctor bill.
I just get cured for uothla!
Whenever 1 am ill.
Indeed, my grandma doctor
Just hugs me awful close
And pays a kiss and nickel
For tapirs' every dose.
C. M. BARNITZ,
GREEN FOOD A NECESSITY.
One reason why some have hens that
lay few winter eggs and are often af-
flicted with indigestion is because the
ration is all concentrated grain and
meat.
Cut open Biddy's crop in summer
after a day's forage in the field and
you'll find it not only contains grain,
seeds, bugs, worms, gravel and water,
but a big proportion of vegetable food,
and this not only contains elements
necessary for making meat and eggs,
but mixed with the other feed it makes
all spongy and digestible.
Greens add relish and variety to the
ration, 'cheapen it, increase eggs and
are necessary for hen health.
The West Virginia experiment sta-
tion proved this by penning two flocks
of Leghorns, feeding one all grain and
meat, the other the same plus greens.
The hens fed greens cost less for
feed, laid 25 per cent more eggs and
were in better condition at end of test.
Cabbage, sprouted oats, mangels,
turnips, pumpkins and potatoes are
easily secured and fed once a day help
to make the flock pay.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS,
Brooders and colony houses with re-
movable roofs are very convenient for
cleaning. Dampness may thus be dried
out by the hot sun, and on sultry
nights the roof may be removed or
raised to let in fresh air.
When fowls show signs of disease
first look at their fluffs and necks for
lice or in the henhouse for mites.
When they are worried by these crawl
ers they sometimes show symptoms of
several diseases at the same time,
It is stated. that $2,210,000 is lost by
Indiana farmers on bad eggs that are
counted out of their shipments and
charged to them by commission men.
This loss is charged to improper gath-
ering, storing, handling and packing
of eggs.
Instead of sitting in the shade and
counting future profits after the
strenuous hatching and brooding sea-
son is over, the practical poultryman
starts a cleaning campaign and per-
fects plans for hen comfort for the
trying winter season.
When the farmer saves up the eggs
awhile, and the huckster keeps them
awhile, and the country storekeeper
holds them awhile, and the wholesaler
stores them awhile, and the city store-
keeper has them awhile, it's no wonder
those eggs smell a mile, Is it?
When the skin gets scurfy and the
feathers drop off it's a case of favus,
and a place for fowls to catch this is
at many fall shows. The molting, sea-
son is then on, and the absence of
plumage is ascribed to molt. A clip
of tobacco water stops this nasty para-
sitical trouble quick.
One of the amusing things you read
is the poultry journal editorial describ-
ing the farmer as a farm fossil and
urging him to throw off his barnacles
and do something for the poultry in-
dustry. The poultry crop of this coun-
try is $1,000,000,000, and the farmer
produces 95 per cent of it. Nuf sed!
In the twelve months' laying contest
that terminated March 31, 1910, at Oat -
ton, Queensland, Australia, six S. C.
White Leghorns laid 1,531 eggs or 255
each per year. Leghorns from the
same flock were shipped to England,
32,000 miles away, and are now show-
ing Johnny Bull how real Leghorns
lay.
Skunks have little fear of man ,and
will trot along the road beside him
like a dog or refuse to turn out for his
team. They have the grit to come right
into towns and cities for fowls. Bait
that trap with an egg, and, if a box
trap, chloroform him if caught in pref-
erence to wringing his neck with your
bare hands,
When you are about to buy a pen of
Barred Rocks or Wyandottes at the
show before closing the sale ask if
they have been produced by double
mating. If so, don't buy them. The
males and feretaales by that system are
produced by sieparate matings to get
certain color and shape and, When
mated cannot protjluce their like.
Double mating ;for -exhibition birds
is a detriment to ,any variety and es.
pecially those wh.oaie color, shape and
size fit them for the dust purpose of
meat and eggs. Plats unnatural Meth-
od has lost popubt 'ty to the Barred
Rocks, lrirahmas, Brown Leghorns and
Siker and Golden, tatted varieties and
when applied to White Wyattidottes
surely is a brainstoi m business.

Teachers More Plentiful.
About 1100 legally qualified public
school teachers will graduate from the
Normal schools and Faculties of Edu-
cation at the end of the current seE-
sions. Of these teachers about, 200
holding second class certificates, with
at least one year's previous experience
will be available immediately after
Easter. The remaining 000, holding
first and 4econd class certificates, wilt
be available after midsummer. Of this
latter number upwards of 10.) will
have hadin addition, a course at
Guelph in Elementary Agrlirnittire,
Manual training or U•ottsehold Science.
All of the 1100 nava pledged them-
selves to teach in Ontario for at least
the first year of their teaching experi-
ence and under the regulations are en-
titled to the preference over teachers
with lower qualifications.

Against Five Councillors.
• Based on an alleged lack of neces-
sary property qualifications, writs of
protest have been servFd on five
members of the Owen Sound Council,
who are all local optionists. The local
option majority in Council asked for
the resignation of Chief of Police John
Dic Auley at the last regular meeting.
To date the chief has refused to hand
in his resignation, and it was thought
that at the next' regular meeting on
Monday next he would be summarily
dismissed. Hence the action of the
antis, who have actively espoused the
chief's cause.

URITY FLOUR is unlike any other brand of flour.
No two milling companies follow exactly the same
process of milling. In fact, no two different brands
of flour in the world are exactly alike in quality.
And here is another fact worth knowing: Every wheat berry
contains both high-grade and low-grade por-
tions.
The process of milling PURITY flour costs
more than to mill ordinary flour. The low-
grade portions are separated and excluded.
PURITY is an ALL HIGII-GRADE, hard
wheat flour, It has greater strength, greater
absorption and greater expansion. It is a
thirstier, more elastic flour. It drinks more
water and expands into more loaves.
Use PURITY FLOUR for your next batch
of bread. Count the loaves, You'll find
you have n,iade "MORE BREAD AND
BETTER BR +AD " from PURITY than
when you've used an equal weight of weaker
and cheaper flour.
"More bread and better bread"
IMAGINE, if you can, how much whiter, and more tooth-
some, and more nutritious, the bread made from such a
IIIGI -GRADE flour must be.
And can you imagine yourself enjoying the
flaky pie -crust and the light, delicate cake ?
—your reward for using PURITY flour
When making pastry, please remember to
add more shortening than required with
ordinary flour—for on account of its extra
strength, PURITY FLo ifit requires more
shortening for best pastry -results
Y(1:4, PURITY IF'LOUR, costs ,slightly more
than indillar, flour. tut me it once and
pall] say it's worth more- Introit more—
than the cliff#r'1'd'lim
