Mr. Willson: Did you ever come in contact with Usher's system 

 of ventilation. Brings in the air in the tube and the temperature will 

 not change in the coldest weather. 



A. Where does he draw his impure out? 



Mr. Willson: At the same place, at the bottom I think. The cold 

 air to come in the top. The temperature is uniform you understand. 

 That system prevents you losing any air. 



A. That is all right to get rid of the hot air if you have ventilation 

 opening outdoors, but you don't want your hot air to get out. The bad air 

 is at the floor where you want to take it out. 



As to question of the care of cows, I don't know as I need to talk about 

 that. There was enough said here yesterday by Mr. Goodrich along that 

 line. Those that heard Mr. Goodrich — I thought it was one of the nicest 

 things along that line. There has got to be the right feeling between 

 the cow and the person caring for the cow to get the best results. The 

 cow that has been treated poorly will not do her best, and, on the other 

 hand the cow that has been treated properly will give us the best kind of 

 milk. If the cow is aggravated or chased by dogs, I'd hate terribly to feed 

 any babes with milk that a cow gave that had been chased by dogs. We 

 know it affects the flow of milk and the fat in the milk, and we know also 

 — the mothers will appreciate this better than the men will — many times 

 the poor little kids will be suffering from what isn't their fault at all and 

 probably tiie mother's fault. They have to do work and get themselves all 

 out of condition and the babe has to suffer for it; and it is the same with 

 the cow. They must be looked after; we have to be careful not to get the 

 cows out of condition. 



In the spring when the weather is bad I will not let them out to exceed 

 an hour, watching them all the while that their bowels don't become 

 too loose. I cv.n feed a sow food that will set her pigs scouring in great 

 shape and not affect the mother at all. I have done that very thing. If 

 that is so with the young pigs it would be so with the young children. 

 They are all animals and we must look after these things. I tell you we 

 have not been doing thinking enough along this line. Many are so sit-
