VENTILATION OF DAIRY BARN Better Health of Animals ls Assured by Supply of Fresh Air-King System Described. More of us every year are bu i I di nc: barns with ventilating flues or put ting flues into stables already built. Fresh air means better health in herds. The system described by F. H. King, the Wisconsin authority on ventila tion, never has been outclassed. It is the natural way. In illustration, the movement of the air is shown by arrows. The pure air comes in above the animals and the foul air is taken out through the out take shafts which have their openings down near the floor and extend up through the roof or to the cupola. Some builders run the shafts straight up through the roof, others run them up to' the roof and then over to the cupola, and some join the lower shafts at the ceiling and then use but one main shaft to the roof at each end as shown here. The galvanized foetal shaft is pre ferred by most dairymen who have used this sort of ventilating system. Air Pressure ls Shown at D. D. Forc ing Air in at B. B., and Out by Suc tion at Top of Shaft A. A general rule seems to be well-tried out that thirty square inches of out take and intake area are about right for each grown animal housed in the stable. This being true, there would be needed two shufts, each 10 by 15 for a herd of ten cows. The intake openings should be of the same area. A damper in the ceiling at C can be opened if the temperature of the stable grows too warm. There can be no regular circulation unless there are us many and as large intakes as out takes. Also, the intakes should let the air in at the ceiling, or above the level of the lower openings in the outtakes or foul-air shafts. HANDLING MILK IN SUMMER Whether Intended for Table, Cream ery or Market, lt Must Be Sweet to Sring Best Price. It is no trick at all to keep milk sweet in cold weather. It may stay in the sun half a day in December without any damage, but in June and July it must be handled very care fully. Whether the milk or cream ls intended for the table, the creamery, or the milk market, it must be sweet if It is to bring the best price. To keep milk sweet Just two simple things must be very carefully looked after: (1) It must be cooled as com pletely and quickly after milking as possible, and (2) absolute cleanli ness of palls, pons, and ,cows. mus?_ be secured. If this is don?t thunder^ storms will no longer sour the milk. The warm, damp weather which we have just before thunderstorms really does tend to cause milk to sour if lt has not been properly cared for. This souring takes place because lit tle invisible plants called bacteria get nto it in dirt or by lurking in the cor ers and seams of pojorly cleaned palls nd cans. The remedy ls p?a?n. Keep he bacteria out by using seamless alls and cans and seeing that abso utely no dirt or dust gets Into the jilk in the stable or anywhere else. AIRY PRODUCTS IN DEMAND possible to Buy First-Class Dairy Cows at $80 Per Head-Breed Up the Common Stock. - ^rrr The great demand for dairy prod ts has caused the price of good iry cows to be very high. Reports om associations of dairymen show at lt is impossible to buy first-class iry cows at even $80 a head. . With ch a demand for cows In old dairy tricts, there will be few good cows ved Into new dairy territory. So, only way new districts can be sup ed must be by breeding np the mon stock by the use of good dairy d bulls.

Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago J TEXT-But your Iniquities have sepa rated between you and your God, and your sins have hld his face from you. that he will not hear. . . . For our trans pressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our trans gressions are with us; and as for our Ini quities, we know them: . . . And the Re deemer shall come to Zion. and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.-Isa. 59:2. 12, 20. lu the diiys of the old prophets, troulile between God and sinning men was ns evident as it is today. In the reading of the chapter that pre cedes the one from which the texts are taken, we road that the people attempted to do certain things that pleased God ; be ing very religious, in a formal way, they were devot ing themselves to their sacrifices and fenstings, but the trouble- be tween them and God was not removed. It was fortunate for them that they had some religious lenders that knew things spiritual, and who were faithful in telling the people that they were not doing what was pleasing to God at all. Charge of Worldliness. If the application of these words were made to the church today, which would be very proper, the charge would not be wise if lt were made in the form of details or the naming of peccadillos of improper conduct, but if the church were charged with world liness, with betrayal of pure doctrine, j with robbery as far as withholding of j ferings to God are concerned, then I tho charge would attract attention. . The church, of God today in its sinful I condition stands as a buffer between God and th* unsaved world. A great load of guilt is on it today on this par ticular account. It is a misrepresen tation of what Christ and his religion ? are. The world does not today read Christ properly because it reads the perverted message of Christ that the church presents in its life. But the shortcomings of the church will not redeem any unsaved man, nor be an excuse for ;>ot getting right with God. Here every tub must stand on its own bottom. What is wrong with the unsaved man? Simply that he is out of right relationship with God; there Is a lack of adjustment. A man can fence all he pleases, and try to throw the blame on God, but ultimate ly the trouble is with himself. His sins have separated hetween him and f?od, and these must he got out of I the way. God must be faithful to man, and to show his love he says through his ministers, "Your sins have hld his face from you that he J will not hear." God's Part and Man's, j The charging of sin is God's part; the confessing of sin is man's part. Fortunately, the people to whom the prophet spoke heeded his word, and ' wi read that they made detailed con fession. Confession is in a way the same thing ns repentance, and some men have shown themselves to be strong in repentance, Indeed, there is no explanation of their standing be fore God, except conceding that they knew how to repent. We have David , and Peter as examples. Such confes sion is coming out candidly and ac cepting the righteousness of the charge of God. God has passed judgment, his charge is made and man must, like one ' of ancient times, acknowledge the charge In order that God may be jus tified when he speaks und be clear when he judges. We might note tn I this part of the confession that the In , dividual says "his sins are multiplied 1 before him"-that ls, they are in an exaggerated form, really what they are, as compared with what he has ' heretofore considered them to be. He concedes, also, that his sins belong to I himself. i The need of the day in which we find ourselves is confession, national confession, church confession, individ ual confession. Some nations today are on their knees. They are on their : way to true blessing because they are ! going to get right with God. The or ! ganized church is hardly on its feet ! yet, and it Is slipping further and fur j ther away from the truth of God, and , not until lt gets to its knees and con ! fesses its attachment to the world, its ! departure from truth, Its failure to I understand its true mission, will it j have God's favor. The Blessing. The inevitable follows confession of ' sin, namely, blessing. In the text we I ure told that the Redeemer shall come ! to Zion. The trouble wirti the world ! and with the church and the indlvld : ual Is, that the Redeemer ls not pros ! ent. This coming of the Redeemer ' may fairly be considered in the first piaee as a spiritual coming. The ideal situation is expressed by the term Im I manuel, which means "God with us," I but God cannot be with us If we hold I to our sins and do not confess and for I sake them. God remains away from I nations and churches and Individuals ! as far as his blessings are concerned, ! who do not confess their sins and re i turn to him. TREE SURGEON LIKE DENTIST Cavity Must Be Cleaned, Treated With Antiseptic, and Then Filled With Concrete. The treatment of cavities in trees, caused by decay. Is not fundamentally different from that of dentistry, though the tree surgeon is not so much "down In the mouth" as the dentist. All de caying matter must be cleaned out, right down to solid living tissue. The cavity is then treated with an anti septic to prevent further decay, and the whole (likewise the hole) filled with concrete and in such manner as to exclude air as much as possible. The tree then begins to heal over the edges of the wound to the concrete. Sometimes metal has been used for covering cavities and with good re sults. Elastic cement, asphalt and Method of Pruning Large Limbs: (a) Tree Before Pruning; (b) the Same With Limbs Cut Close and the Scars Finished With Mallet and Chisel. sawdust, paraffin and sawdust, wood pulp and cement, excelsior and as phalt, tar with sawdust or oukum, wooden blocks, bricks, stones and a greut variety of materials have been used for both filling and covering and all are good if the work is well done. The disinfectants used are copper sul phate, corrosive sublimate, formalin, bordeaux, carbollneum or creosote (these are best), coal tar and even kerosene. No matter which is used, the cavity should receive more than one treatment before being filled or other wise closed. PROFIT FROM THE BACK YARD Any House Owner, at Small Expense, Can Build Garage Which Will Soon Pay for Itself. Most house owners have a rear lot that is of no use to them, and Is gen erally a source of expense. Why not turn the back yard into a moneymaker ; at a reasonable expense you can build a concrete or brick garage big enough to hold four cars on the average lot that will earn for you 25 per cent prof it on the cost of the building, or pay for Itself in four years. This ?>eing' a masonry building with a tar and gravel roof there is no charge for upkeep or repairs. Such garages have been found to be a source of satisfaction to the owners as they Improve the looks of the back yard In most cases, and relieve Mm of the la bor and expense of keeping lt in or der. If a person also wishes to have n garden he can by putting up traills work conceal the garage so that per sons In the street cannot see lt, also a roof garden can be maintained on; the garage when desired.

Beauty Demanded in Suburbs. "Beauty is a necessary fictor Ju the j t development of suburban property." says H. A. Jones, a Detroit real estate man. "City people who nove out to ( those communities which ire sure to surround Detroit as the citf- develops, will expect city convenience and rapid transit to their employment, but they will also expect something of country pleasures. "Therefore no suburbai property 1 unless laid out with the id-a of beau- I ty in mind, is likely to boonie fully built up.

Three men went to the worldwide war, Each worked in the place he found, One went out on the battlefield, One to increase the harvest yield, And one to the mill in town. Three men 'rose as the sun came up, Ench brushed the sleep from his brow, One fell into his place at drill. One took his bucket and went to the mill And one put his hands to the plow. Three men toiled when the sun was high, A. dust from the struggle 'rose, One drove the enemy down to defeat, One furnished rations of bread and meat And the other made their clothes. The three lay down in the quiet night, The day had been nobly won, For one "had finished his bit at the mill, One had toiled on his farm on the hill And one had stayed by his gun. -Thomas DeWitt Jones. A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says Thia Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in rey mother's home, when I was a child. "When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused hy constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. "We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so well saves a lot of days In bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been In use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which lt now enjoys ls proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result. Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts In a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it.
