Atmospheric conditions afifect animalsdififerently. The heavy br<^eds of beef cat-tle are usually phlegmatic in disposition,paying little attention to ordinary disturb-ances; these sufifered less in consequence,though it was noticed that they did notbenefit from the quantity and quality offeed as they should. Milch cows of ahighly nervous organization are more sus- RADFORDS PRACTICAL ceptible to incipient diseases caused by ob-jectionable surroundings than any otherdomestic animal. Not until progressivescientific men spent much time and moneyin investigations and experiments was thetrouble traced to its true source. Analyzing stable atmosphere led to thedetection of harmful bacteria in incredu-. lous numbers. Scientists engaged in thework were slow to give out the result oftheir first investigations, thinking that theconditions under which they were workingmight be abnormal. Prospecting furtherand while endeavoring to learn the causethey found the conditions in these cellarstables particularly favorable to the pro-pagation of stockmens worst bacteria delight in a dusty atmos-phere, especially when it is impregnatedwith moisture; when a share of the damp-ness comes from the moisture laden breathof animals that are obliged to breathe the same air over and over again, bacteria con-ditions are complete. Bank barns are always damp and alwaysdusty; owing to their construction theynever admit sunlight in quantities suffi-cient to be of use. Sunlight is destructiveto all forms of harmful bacteria; thereforea stable should
