VENTILATION OF DAIRY BARN Better Health of Animals ls Assured by Supply co Fresh Air-King System Described. More of us every year are building 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 cut through the out take shafts which have their openings down near the floor and extend up j through the roof or to the cupola. Some builders run the shafts straight i up through the roof, others run them Up to1 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 metal 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 j out that thirty square inches of out-'; take and intake area are about right j for each grown animal housed in the ; stable. This being true, there would be needed two shafts, each 10 by 15 for a herd of ten cows. The intake ; openings should be of the same area. A damper in ceiling at C can be opened if the temperature of the stable grows too warm. There can be DO regular circulation unless there are aa many and as large intakes as out takes. Also, the intakes should let the j 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 Srlng 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 December1 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, i 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, pa ns, and .cows raus?_ be secured. If this is ?onel thunda> 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 poorly cleaned palls nd cans. The remedy ls p?a?n. Keep he bacteria out by using seamless ails and cans and seeing that abso utely no dirt or dust gets Into the lk In the stable or anywhere else. I AIRY PRODUCTS IN DEMAND1 possible to Buy First-class Dairy ' Cows at $80 Per Head-Breed Up the Common Stock. j The great demand for dairy prod ts has caused the price of good lry 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 dalry j trlcts, there will be few good cows ! ved Into new dairy territory. So, j only way new districts can be sup ed must be by breeding up the mon stock by the use of good dalry d bulls.

Secretory of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago -| 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 pressions are with us; and as for our ini quities, we know them; . . . And the Re deemer shall come to Zion, and unto them ttiat turn from transgression in Jacob, saith tile Lord.-Isa. 59:2, 12, 20. In the days of the old prophets, trouble between God and sinning men was as evident a? it is today. In the reading of the chapter that pre cedes the one from which the texts are tak^n, we road that the people attempted to do certain things that pleased God ; ho ing very religious, in a formal way, they were devot ing themselves to their .sacrifices and feastings, but ..ie trouble- be tween them and Go "-is not removed. It was fortunate foi .hem that they had some religious leaders 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 it 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, with robbery as far as withholding of ferings to God are concerned, then tho charge would attract attention. The church, of God today in its sinful condition stands ns a buffer between God and th* unsaved world. A great load of guilt is on lt today on this par ticular account. It is a misrepresen tation of what Christ and his religion ure. 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 not getting right with God. Here every tub must stand on its own bottom. What is wrong with the unsaved man? Simply that he ls 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 between him and God, and these must he got out of 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. will not hear." God's Part and Man's. The charing of sin is God's part; the confessing of sin ls man's part. Fortunately, the people to whom the prophet spoke heeded his word, and we read that they made detailed con fession. Confession ls In a way the same thing as 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 and be clear when he judges. We might note In this part of the confession that the In dividual says "his sins are multiplied 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 himself. 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 ls hardly on its feet yet, and it ls slipping further and fur ther away from the truth of God, and not until it gets to Its knees and con fesses Its attachment to the world, Its departure from truth, its failure to understand its true mission, will it have God's favor. The Blessing. The inevitable follows confession of sin, namely, blessing. In the text we are told that the Redeemer shell come to Zion. The trouble with the world and with the church and the individ ual Is. that the Redeemer ls not pres ent. This coming of the Redeemer may fairly be considered in the first piaee ns a spiritual coming. The ideal situation is expressed by the term Im manuel, which means "God with us," but God cannot be with us If we hold to our sins und do not confess and for sake them. God remains away from nations and churches and Individuals as far afi his blessings are concerned, who do not confess their sins and re 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 tho 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 oakum, wooden blocks, bricks, stones and a great 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 Jtself in four yenrs^ *Th?s being 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 him of the la bor and expense of keeping it in or der. If a person also wishes to have n garden he cnn by putting up trellis work conceal the garage so that per sons in the street cannot see it, also a roof garden can be maintained on | the garage when desired.

Beauty Demanded In Suburbs. "Beauty is a necessary fictor in the development of suburban property," says H. A. Jones, a Detroit real estate man. "City people who nove out to j those communities which ire sure to surround Detroit as the cly develops, will expect city conveniences and rapid transit to their employment, but they will also expect something of country pleasures. "Therefore no suburbni 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, Each 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 my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by 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 is proof of Its merit If your liver ls 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. Insist on Thed ford's, the original and genuine. E 79 Abbeville-Greenwood Mu tual Insurance Associ ation. Organized 1802. Property Insured $2,500,000.
