Grtis*, Agricultural Engineer, Ruttrrrs University.--WNl" Service. Ventilation in. dairy barns and other animal shelters is not only necessary to maintain the general health of the live stock, but also to pnoTect tKe^structure itself. An odorous, moisture laden atmosphere is qnhealthful and undesirable. Odors may be absorbed by the milk. Excessive moisture aids ^development and spread of diseases and is depressing to the animals. It "also has a destructive effect on structural and insulating materials, steel or iron equipment, and the. armoUr and insulating materials of electrfc conductors. Methods of ventilating may be grouped as natural or gravity systems, forced draft «r mechanical systems and air change by leakage. Tightly built, up-to-date barns require several intake openings of proper siie, construction and location. The intakes -should sjpill the iair into the building near the ceiling. The cool air will mix with the warm as it drops to the floor, thus avoiding drafts. The size of intake flues has been.standardized at 60 square inches. At least one outtake flue is required. The outtake flue will act much like a chimney or may have a forced-draft from an electric fan. "Its size should allow each cow 60 cubic feet of air per minute, or five to* seven air changes per hour! In barns providing an air volume , of 600 cubic feet per cow, six changes are needed. The number of intakes and the size and height of outtakes are .governed by air requirements.

For instance, says the Country Home Magazine, one farmer was using an electric "poker" to facilitatf cattle loading. Another farmer has a charged wire around the irrside of a scale fence to keep animals on the platform. Other uses included wiring stalls to teach horses or bulls not to attempt to break oat; protecting flower gardens from night raids; educating range animals to avoid wire, thereby reducing wire cuts; preventing hogs from rooting under a woven wire fence; breaking horses of halter pulling by putting a charged wire back of them; checking the spread of Bang's disease by cows which nose one another across line fences. Some Idaho farmers are working on the idea of repelling jack rabbits by means of electrified wire. *f$ftnother survey made in Illinois on farms which had used electric fence for several years showed favorable results, but also demonstrated that one wire was not sufficient to stop pigs and other small animals. However, animals that have been shpeked a few times soon learn to avoid all wires," so that it is not necessary to keep the fence continually charged. Mastitis Spreading . According to recognized ^rffrorities, 52 per cent of all the cows in Germany have mastitis, about 40 per cent of Great Britain's cows are infected, and 48 per cent, or nearly one out of every two cows in America, are infected with this disease. Dairymen no longer consider mastitis, or garget, a necessary evil, bu^ are learning to diagnose the disease and are taking every precaution to prevent its spread. The organism which causes garget destroys the milk-producing tissue of the udder ..and lowers the average butterfat and milk production about 22 per cent. Considering that every other cow in the average dairy herd has garget, that 22 per cent loss in production from each infected cow means an 11 per ceht loss herd as a whole. Ancient Mayas Kept ThaftksgtyingP^ WHEN "football fans turn out for the Thanksgiving games they are conforming "with an old American custom, but'do they know how old that custom is? asks a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispa* ch. Thanksgiving . football games wrere instituted in America about 2D00 B. C. The custom began among the ancient Mayas, who, although they did not eat mince pie or sit in concrete stadiums, did (dine on turkey and did set aside •a day on which they offered up the first fruits of the harvest season, feasted and played, or watched a ball game in a stone-walled enclosure. The department of middle American research at Tulane university has discovered that the Mayan games were like ours in many respects. Just as fans today travel for miles to see the Thanksgiving games, so did our predecessors on t h i s c o n t i n e n t j o u r n e y a c r o s s t h e land, on foot or horseback, to Chichen-Itza, holy city of the Mayas, to view the holiday spectacle. ' In his description of the Mayan game, Maurice Reis, on the staff of the department of middle American research at Tulane, says: "As it began when Rome ruled the waves and Frenchmen wore bear skins as their Sunday best, football wasn't just football. That is, the ball wasn't kicked with the foot and the scores were produced by persuading the ball to pass through a perpendicular ring high on a stone wall." When the thousands of pilgrims who came every year amved at Chichen-Itza, they offered sacrisMnrecnovi frT up Martfh May, who is employed at Forest Park spent Thursday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anton May.

State Street, Chicago Keeping Ditches Open The best method of cleaning weeds, grass and loose dirt out of an open drainage ditch will depend very much on the size and shape of the ditch and how badly it is filled up. For a narrow ditch, dragging along an old threshing cylinder, or a section of a disc fastened with a long log chain to a pole pulled with a team at each end, will give good results. An old corn planter or binder bull wheel, with the edge of the rim filed or ground sharp, can be pulled along in the same way where the ditch bottom is wider and rounder. Doing this once or twice a season should keep the ditch in good shape. The Ball Wasn't Kicked With the Foot in That Game.; fices to the earth gods in an impressive thanksgiving ceremony led by the ruler. "The earth gods," says Alredo Barrera Vasquez, of the staffs of the Mexican National Museum and the National University of Mexico, who is of Maya descent, "are called the Four Bacabs and are represented as supporting the four corners of the earth. Each god has an appropriate color: red for the east where the sun rises, black for the west where it sinks into darkness, yellow for the warm south and white for the cold north. Yum K'ax, Lord of the Forest, resides at the center of the universe and is characterized by the colors blue and green." The Thanksgiving ceremonies still take place in some parts of Mexico today, although most of the old customs are dominated by the Catholic influence. The name of the principal god of the harvest is lost. However, we have many representations of him on ancient monuments. He is always depicted as being young and handsome, symbolic of life and growth. From his head grows maize instead of hair; Pumpkin and Mince Pies Are Favorites serving of a two-course luncheon brought this pleasant afternooh to a close. A party of friends gathered at Mrs. Jim Oxtoby's home on Thursday afternoon in observance of Her birthday anniversary. Tables were arranged and five hundred played during the afternoon.

The Arabian horse is bred by Bedouin tribes in the desert of Arabia and is a subspecies, differing from Other breeds in head, skeleton and physical characteristics. His type and origin is coincident with the dawn of history and his blood mixed with colder northern blood has produced most of the breeds known to history, says a writer in the Pacific Rural Press. The Size averages from fourteen and a half hands to fifteen and a half hands at the withers with an average weight of from 850 pounds to 1,000 pounds. The color ran<,e3 50 per cent bays, 30 per cent gf ayS> 20 per cent chestnuts and. *orowns according to the Arabia?) Horse Club of A m e r i c a at B e r i i n , New Hampshire. One <or mere white feet are common, "with markings of stars or blazes £nd the coat is short and hard, the Thane and tail long, fine and silky, the head and tail being carried gayly at all times. Gaits are a fast walk, a fair trot which improves with cultivation, a springy and.easy canter, and a fast run for h'» size, "With jumping ability. The peculiarities of the breed are a wedge shaped head like a gazelle; small muzzle; dish face; thin lips, long nostrils, thin and capable of much distension in action; great width between the jaws; a large, loosely hung windpipe; c o m p l e t e f r e e d o m from wind troubles; eyes set more nearly in the center of the head measuring lengthwise^ width across the forehead; excess actual cubic inches of brain capacity; ears, fine and long in mares, short in stallions, active and alert, pricked together near the points; neck long and finely arched close to the*head.

Mrs. Galapagos Tortoise'Can * Count Age by Centuries The early Spanish explorers named the Galapagos islands after the huge tortoises th^r found on the beaches. The islands lie some 700 miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific and were ports of call, first for pirate craft, then men of war and I New England whalers, observes a j writer in the Washington Star. The tortoises were tame, abun- I dant and easily captured. They I lived for weeks below decks with- I out feeding, and were a cheap I source of fresh meat. Early hbj torians said that as many as 100,000 l of them were removed from the isi lands in a single year. I The old papers of whalers out of ' Salem recorded that,the officers fed 1 on the livers of the tortoises and I the sailors got the stew. There were at least a dozen varieties, on the islands. In the early days tortoises five feet long and weighing up to 400 i pounds were common. The numbers of the tortoises also have been reduced by wild dogs j and pigs, which feed on the eggs. Thus only a few of the giants survive while smaller members of their family thrive . in many 1 quarters of the world. j , !

NEW IN JACKETS Will Supply Fall Tastui?e Winter barley and rye are the two best crops to supply fall pasture quickly to those whose summer feed and forage crops have been destroyed, says Ide P. Trotter of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Wheat also is satisfactory for this purpose; winter vetch and crimson clover may be used in some places, and oats may. be planted if there is an extreme emergency. Winter barley can be planted when soil conditions are satisfactory. of that span a man counted him self lucky to have a three-legged pine stool to sit on.
