Stable Ventilation.
At the last state dairymen’s con
! mention in Wisconsin. W. D. Hoard
laid: A few years ago when l built
i cow stable 1 put windows in it every
‘.hree feet to let in the light. I also
out in a ventilation system that co3t
$330. One of my neighbors said to
ne that he did not see how I could
afford to do that. I relied that if a
man should come along and give the
cows of any man paris green or any
other kind of animal or vegetable
poison he would be protecuted. But
:he farmer himself will poison his
cows with bad air and think nothing
of it. We must wake to a realization
3f this fact. Now the expenditure of
$350 for a good ventilating system is
not a large matter. The interest on
that amount at 6 per cent is only $21
per year, and that is what the ven
tilating system really costs me. If l
didn't have the money myself I could
borrow it from my neighbor at 6 per
cent. That $21 is a very small sum to
pay for the furnishing of pure air to
a stable 142 feet long and 36 feet
wide. I have found that this costs
only a little over 40 cents per animal.
We keep cows in the stable for about
200 days out of the year, and should
we refuse them the expenditure of 40
cents each to keep them in pure air?
I am sure tht I get back at least ten
times 40 cents In the increased ef
fectiveness of each cowr. I do not
think that I ever made an expenditure
on my farm that paid a better interest
than that ventilating system. All this
winter the temperature in my stable
has not dropped below 50 to 55 de
grees. The bodies of the cows give
off enough heat to keep the tempera
ture right for the cows. By the King
system of ventilation, which 1 have,
you take off the foul cold air and
retain the warm air that is naturally
at the top of the barn, and your sta
ble is kept at an equitable tempera
ture. It will not cost most of the
farmers as much to put in a ventila
ting system as it did me because most
of them "have not stables as large as
the one 1 have.
Cooking Horse Feed.
One of the early French investiga
tors compared oats and an equal vol
ume of rye boiled until the grain
burst. The results were not favor
able to cooking the feed. According
to another of his tests, 30.8 pounds
of mashed steamed potatoes could not
replace 11 pounds of hay. The pota- 1
toes were mixed with cut straw and
ted cold. It is often claimed that !
cooking feed increases its palatability
and digestibility. The general con
clusion drawn from tests with farm
animals is that this belief is not war
ranted, and that the cost of cooking
Is not made up for by the increased
value of the ration. It has been stat
ed on good authority that boiled feed
is useful for colts, brood mares and
stallions if fed two or three times per
week, and that draft horses which are j
being prepared for sale or for exhibi- |
tion may be given cooked feed once
a day with advantage. An excellent*'
feed for horses, it Is said, may be
made by boiling barley and oats in a ;
kettle with considerable water and j
pouring the mass over chaffed hay, ;
allowing the whole to stand until the
hay is well softened. Ilran, roots and
a small quantity of oil meal may be
•daed also.—Bulletin 170, U. S Dept,
of Agriculture.
Aleutian Island Ranges.
Several large stock growers o£
Washington state are planning to con
vert the Aleutian islands into vast
cattle and sheep ranges, which will
surpass In extent the rapidly diminish
ing ranges of Montana and Texas
One company has begun the shipment
of 25,000 sheep and 5,000 head of
cattle to the Aleutians, a first con
signment of 8,000 head of sheep hav
ing recently been sent from San
Francisco. The company had demon
strated previously that sheep will
thrive there, living throughout the
winter solely on the grass of the
Islands, by having landed 1,000 head
there about a year and a half ago.
Angus Premiums.
The board of directors of the Aber
4een-Angus Cattle Breeders’ Associa
tion has voted to appropriate $4,500
for a show at the Ixmisiana Purchase
Exposition and $2,500 for an Aber- !
deen Angus show at Kansas City, in
case one is held there in 1904. For
the International I.ive Stock Exposi
tion in 1904 $4,000 was set aside for
special premiums.
The cost of tile drains will, of
course, vary with the locality, t-.ome
estimates of cost made In the vicinity
of the Iowa Agricultural College may
prove of value to farmers intending to
put in tile drains.
Tile was found to cost per 1,000 feet
as follows: 4-inch, $20; 5-inch, $27;
6-inch, $:’.7; 8-inch, $58; 10-inch, $85;
12 inch. $115; 15-inch, $255, The cost
of hauling was estimated at $5 per
1.000 feet for the 5-inch tile and a
corresponding increase for the larger
sizes. The distance hauled in this
rase was five miles. The cost of lay
ing. per rod was 12 to 15 cents for ail
tile below 8 Inches in size. This
price includes digging ditch and lay
ing tile, filling ditch to be done by
owner. Where a capable engineer is
employed to do the work, his fee
must be added.
It Is a poor policy for the farmer to
sell off his best birds and keep the
poorest. Such a course means retro
gression.
1 POULTRY!
White Wyandottes.
White Wyandottes are unquestion
ably the most popular breed of fow ls
in existence to-day, with Barred Ply
mouth Rocks a close second. I have
no disposition to question the value of
the Barre 1 Plymouth Rocks either as
ahew birds or as utility stock.
Through all the many years they have
been before the poultry buying public
they have been strong favorites. They
displaced the Light Brahmas and
other breeds as practical utility and
market birds. Being of better size
and shape, also good producers of
eggs, they more nearly met the popu
lar demand for e. fowl having these
qualities tlitm any other breed that
had come before. They consequently
reaped a harvest unequaled by any
other breed up to the time of the In
troduction of the White Wyandottes.
I only compare these two breeds be
cause they are indisputably the two
most popular breeds In existence to
day. Other breeds and varieties have
a good deal of merit and some have
considerable popularity. None, how
ever, at all compare with these two
in the estimation ot practical poultry
producers and fanciers. It is a strong
point with both that they so well suit
the market poulterer and the fancier
and showman. The White Wyau
dottes undoubtedly lead at the pres
ent time. They have had an uphill
fight, but the practical qualities they
possess in such large measure have
carried them to the front, and the
chances are decidedly good for their
retaining that l«ad for some years to
come. No other breed is in sight as a
competitor. Probably there is not a
well known breeder of White Wyan
dot tea in tliis country who is able to
fill all the orders for eggs and stock
of this variety. In searching for the
source of this popularity one has not
far to travel. In the first place their
size is right. They are not too large
to be thrifty. Oversize in poultry
means stagnaiion, poor breeding, small
egg production and disease and los3
in hot seasons and climates. Great
size also means slow maturity and big
feed bills. The White Wyandottes
gicw quickly and mature on less food
than any other breed of anything like
equal value as market poultry. Their
shape, too. is right for practical pur
poses. Full and deep in breast, they
lay on an extra thickness of white
meat and when carved the slices show
a prominent point in their worth. This
is so from the egg to death from old
age. A thin, slim-breasted White
Wyandotte is unknown if the breed is
pure. They are hardy and easily
withstand the cold of the severest cli
mates and seasons. They also do well
I in all temperate and hot climates. Un
like the large and single combed va
rieties, they never suffer in egg pro
duction from frosted combs and wat
tles. They have a small close and
! neatly fitted rose comb, which deties
Post and cold. The cockerels when
i dressed and marketed as broilers and
roasters, present a much neater ap
i pearance when sold with heads on
' than those of breeds with big. spread
j ing or single combs which invariably
draw the attention of the customer to
| the waste and resultant shrinkage in
food value. The color of the legs and
skin is the rich yellow so much de
sired. The skin is free from dark
pin feathers. Many of the disasters
in the poultry business have come
through failure to study supply and
demand. Would-be poultrymen, start
ing on an unknown path, instead of
consulting the demand where the
stock is to be sold will, from some
article, or from seeing birds in a show
room, choose what strikes the fancy
ar.d go ahead—or lather behind, for
it doesn't take long to get started in
the wrong direction in this business.
Once started it is frightfully easy to
continue in the same way and fear
i fully hard to turn about.

Colored Rouen Ducks.
Colored Rouen ducks ^re becoming
every year more popular in this coun
try. They are supposed to have had
their origin in the city of Rouen In
Normandy. At least they must have
been raised largely there before they
| were exported to this country. The
' Rouen duck is a line market bird, but
I does not mature so early as do the
j Pekins and the Aylesburys. It Is
hardy and prolific and has a quiet dis
position. The eggs, however, are not
as large as are those of the Pekin
duck, and lack uniformity of color. It
is believed to be closely related to the
Mallard duck, and thi3 belief is
strengthened by its plumage. The
standard weight of the drake is nins
pounds and of the mature duck eight
pounds.
Swine Feed Points.
Spring litters can be handled^to ad
T vantage, as they can have the run of
grass and ( lover lots. In addition to
the pasturage, a little soft food should
lie fed. and the corn ration should be
very small. Bran and middlings, and
oil nteal in small quantities, may en-1
ter into the ration. Wood ashes and
charcoal are profitable adjuncts to
the feeding ration. Charcoal may be
easily xtbtaimtl front charred coyn
cobs. The ("xr.esKive feeding of corn
should bo avoided, as it is certain that
a good frame cannot be built up on
such, a on** sided ration.
if people knew what the future had
j In stote i it* them the chief charm of
i existence would be lost.
