ADMIRABLE SALES
BARN AND STABLE
Os Great Value to Breeders of
High-Grade Animals.
BOUND TO IMPRESS BUYERS
Possession of Such a Building as Is
Described Here Means a Bigger
Bank Balance at the End
of the Year.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answe»
questions and give advice FREE OF*
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience, as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad
ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
One of the important buildings on a
large farm, especially on one where
breeding of high-grade animals is a
specialty, is a suitable salesroom or
barn and stable to house the animals
while waiting until the time comes to
appear in the show ring. An attrac
tive show place will do much toward
Increasing the selling price of the ani
mr.ls, because they are furnished with
‘jS setting. The effect on the
prospective purchaser Is apparent.
They are bound to be impressed.
The building shown here is an ad
mirable type of combination sales
barn and stable. Built substantially
of frame set on a concrete foundation
it is unusually large and roomy and
well arranged. As you will notice, it
is protected against lightning by a
complete rod Installation and is well
ventilated. In fact, the latest equip
ment needed to make this barn as effi
cient as possible has been used. The
large doors are hung on. easily oper
ated rollers and tracks and are pro
tected by a supplementary roof which
extends around on all sides. Plenty
of windows furnish sunlight, which is
needed for the show ring and for the'
health of the animals housed In the
building.
The roof is of the popular gambrel
type. Many of the farmers’ and deal
ers’ co-operative societies are building
this kind of building in which they in
tend to hold their sales. The main
part of the structure is 50 by 36 feet
and contains a large sales and show
room. On one side of this arena is a
fdsfs
balcony wnere the buyers can sit ami
get a good view of the animals on dis
play. Below this balcony on either
side are stalls, seven in ail, where the
animals can be held pending their
turn in the ring. The small wing to
the rear of this section contains the
office and also the main entrance.
In the large wing to the side is the
housing section, containing twelve
stalls, three box stalls, a feed room
and a wash room. The animals can
be kept here, fed and cleaned before
going out into the sales room. This is
Important to farmers and breeders
who come from a distance. They have
the advantage ot#i comfortable and
safe place to hoese their stock.
Leading up to this sales barn Is an
attractive roadway with parking space
on each side for automobiles and other
vehicles.
While this kind of building is more
pretentious ttyan is usually found in
many localities, it is gaining in popu
larity and is being recognized as a
very necessary link in successful farm
communities. Heretofore the disposal
of stock has always been more or less
of a problem to the farmer because he
could not find a satisfactory place to
keep his stock while waiting for the
sale. This building provides a double
convenience, adequate housing space
as well as an attractive salesroom.
Co-operative organizations have recog
nized its vaiue and many are being
built.
This building also emphasizes the
value of building modern structures on
the farm. More than one farmer has
found a modern barn eliminates much
of troubles in the way of getting In
creased production and keeping con
tented help. Just as steel stanchions,
drinking cups, clean stalls and cork
brick floors make contented cows and
Increase their milk production, so do
Utter and feed carriers and others
labor-saving machinery help to mnkv
contented help. Hired men will not
have the same inclination to leave the
farm for higher-paying jobs in the city
nor will the farmer’s sons be so
anxious to leave the farm which their
father' intended for them. Good
buildings are the most effective
weapon fanners can use in this im
portant campaign to keep the boy on
the farm. By making work a pleasure
and not an endless drudge he will ac
complish much in making the farm a
better place for all. The effect on pro
duction will come along without say
ing.
The construction of such buildings
as the one shown here is only an illus
tration of how this idea is catching

hold and it promises well for tht
times to come. The whole world de
pends upon the ability of the farmer
to produce, and the greater the pro
duction the more satisfaction. Better
farm buildings are one of the means
by which this result can be brought
about
GENIUS FROM LOWLY ORIGIN
John Philip Sousa, Noted Band Lead
er, Says Fathers of Great Compos
ers Not Particularly Noted.
In his recent novel, “The Transit of
Venus” (Small, Maynard & Co.), John
’ Philip Sousa puts into the mouth of
his hero, Edward Stoneman, what we
may assume is the musician’s own
opinion of the transmission of genius
from generation to generation, the
Kansas City Star states.
"Nature does not transmit genius
from father to son,” Stoneman de
clares. “Dryden gives it in this man
ner: ‘Genius is the gift of nature.’ ‘lt
deoends on the influence of the stars.’
says tiie astrologer. ‘On the organs oi
the body,’ says the naturalist. ‘lt is
the particular gift of heaven,’ says the
divine.”
Citing examples among great musi
cians, Stoneman continues:
“Beethoven’s father was a drunken
tenor' singer, whose name appeared
oftener on the police blotter than on
musical programs. Berlioz’s father
was a physician; Chopin’s, a captain of
the National Guard; Gluck’s, a gun
bearer to the prince of Savoy; Gou
nod’s, a painter; Handel’s, a barber;
Mendelssohn’s, a banker, and also Mey
erbeer’s; Mozart’s, lawyer; Rossini's,
an inspector of slaughter houses;
Schubert’s, a schoolmaster; Schu
mann’s, a bookseller; Verdi’s, a gro
cer; Wagner’s, a government clerk.
“The only exception in the array of
musical geniuses are the Bachs and
the Webers. Their families were mu
sical, but lots of them lived in the re
flected glory of the one great genius
of the name.
“In the case of these great men, who
in turn became fathers, there progeny
showed no greater sign of musical
greatness than their progenitor’s.”

Servant Girl —I’m awfully sleepy In
the morning, doctor.
Doctor —Ah.! have you a sweetheart,
may I ask?
Servant Girl (blushing)—Yes.
“Who is he, may I ask?”
“He’s a night policeman."
“Ah, then, give him up, and fall In
love with the milkman.”

Farmers Unloading Milk at Grove City Creamery.
More than half a million dollars of
new wealth created In one year by a
single community—that is the record
of Grove City, Pa., a whole commu
nity largely given over to dairying.
There are many cities and towns
throughout the county engaged in tiie
production of some one principal com
modity. Miners Increase the value
of coal by taking It from the ground.
Manufacturers add to the value of raw
materials by shaping tljem into mar
ketable products. These increase
wealth. But Grove City actually cre
ates new wealth. It takes the air, sun
shine and water —elements free to all
—and converts them Into gold—dairy
products.
What the Grove City community is
doing can be done by any coininuinty
that Is satisfactorily situated, and that
has a well-equipped,
creamery. The fact that tt*. manage
ment is supervised by the United
States department of agriculture prob
ably gives it no appreciable financial
advantage, because the relationship is
investigational and has not reduced
the cost of manufacture below that
possible in many other creameries.
The products are always sold on their
merits, and the name of the depart
ment is not used to advertise them.
Community Spirit Built Up.
The success of the Grove City
creamery is due largely to the admira
ble community spirit that lias been
built up there and in the surrounding
district. That this spirit exists to-day
is due largely to the efforts put forth
by the business men of Grove City, es
pecially the members of the Commer
cial club, an organization that is open
to the farmers of the neighborhood
who are interested in the advancement
of dairying. From the very outset of
the undertaking, In 1914, the business
tnen took an active interest in the
creamery and in the movement toward
general agricultural development
through dairying, and by their en
thusiasm they aroused the interest of
the farmers.
The business men of Grove City
took the first step, the farmers met
them half-way, and all are now work
ing for a common cause, which is the
building up of a successful dairy
community. Though the business men
begun the work for the public good
and with little thought of personal
gain, they have found that it is paj-
Ing them well, because better farming
has brought them better business.
The records of the creamery show a
remarkable increase in income de
rived from the sale of its products.
For the first year, from .July 1, 1915,
to June 30. 1916. the gross income was
$82,432; the second year it Increased
to $212,904; the third year, to $375,-
596; and last year the gross income
totaled $505,810. As only a small
part of the money was used to pay
the cost of operation, nearly all of it
was distributed among file farmers
around Grove City. Since much of
die income was due to Increased and
improved farm business, a large part
of it may fairly he considered as new
ly created wealth.
Improved Dairy Cows.
The most direct cause of the greatly
increased prosperity of the Grove City
community is the more profitable dairy
cow. Dairying ir. the Grove City dis
trict has been much improved by the
purebred cattle 'that liuve been
shipped in. but it has been improved
more by the scrub cattle that have
been shipped out. The cow-testing as
sociation. which has taken the guess
work out of dairying in this district, is
an organization of the dairy fanners
who employ a tester to test their
cows for production and to keep feed
and production records.
Tuberculin tests from April, 1918, to
May, 1920. were made on 387 herds,
consisting of 4,988 animals, under the
accredited-herd plan. Os these, 148
herds are already accredited. Accord
ing to latest figures, 250 farmers In
the vicinity of Grove City own one or
more purebred dairy animals. The Im
portance of pure-breds is going for
ward rapidly.
The creamery has gained a reputa
tion for high quality of products. This
has brought a ready market at satis
factory prices, which have encouraged
larger production. Increased produc
tion and satisfactory prices have made
ihe farmers more prosperous, in
creased financial prosperity, however,
is only a small part of the gain that
has come to the community. Better
schools, better churches, better homes,
and better social conditions are com
ing as a result of this, because the
people have learned to work together
without friction.
To achieve such success as that at
Grove City, it is uot necessary for a
community to engage in the manufac
ture of dairy products. The Grove
City plan can be adapted as well to
any other type of agriculture. To
make the work a success, however, the
community must cast aside all selfish
ness, pull together, and organize, and
should select for its field agent a
man of personality, education, ability
and diplomacy. He should he thor
oughly trained in scientific and prac
tical agriculture and must have had
wide experience. With such a man
in charge and with a modern creamery
there is every reason to believe that
any community, with the spirit of co
operation and evbt» fair agricultural
resources, can do what the Grove City
community has done.

by the most rigid selection In keen
competition with other breeders have
developed purebred live stock until
now the live stock industry in this

As the type of animal necessary for
the production of large .yields of milk
is entirely different from that of the
beef animals, it has been impossible
to produce n breed which would com
bine these functions and he of supe

CREDIT AVAILABLE

RECENT DISTURBANCES SAID TO

LOANS STEADILY INCREASED
Board Says That Farmers Must Do

Home Market
Washington.—Bank credit “has boon
Steadily available for the successive
personal requirements of agriculture,”
according to a formal statement Issued
by the federal reserve board, designed
as a reply to agricultural organiza
tions, which appealed to the govern
ment for a further extension of agri
cultural credit.
Recent disturbances in price and in
demand which have been manifest in
agricultural markets are “inevitable
and unavoidable consequences of the
economic derangements occasioned by
the world war,” the board's statement
says. It adds, however, that the grad
ual and regular movement of the
crops from producers to consumers is
to be expected.
“In view of the representations
which have recently been made to
the board as to the unavailability of
credit In agricultural sections,” the
statement says, “the board requests
information concerning credit condi
tions throughout the country from the
chairman and governors of federal re
serve bunks at thoir usual autumn
conference.
"The board is advised that credit
has been steadily available for the
successive seasonal requirements of
agriculture, as well as for the needs
of commerce and industry, and that
there is no ground for expecting that
its availability for this purpose will
not continue.
| “The present improved credit situa
tion is due in part to the timely steps
taken last spring, following confer
ences between the board and gover
nors and directors of federal reserve
banks to provide credit for crop mov
; ing requirement improvement in
transportation reported from all dis
tricts except In a few localities.
| "Between Junuary 2 and October 1
of the present year about eight hun
dred leading member banks from all
Bections of the country, which report
their condition to the board weekly
and which represent approximately 70
per cent of member bank resources,
have increased their loans for agri
cultural, industrial and commercial
purposes by an amount exceeding one
billion eight hundred million dollars.
“This great increase in credit ex
tended to their customers has, in the
main, been made ■ possible by the ac

Lord Mayor MacSwiney states that
the MacSwiney family has received
word through a churchman who re
cently had a forty-minute audience
with Pope Benedict, twenty minutes
of which were devoted to a discus
sion of the hunger strikers, that the
pontiff does not regard the Irish hun
ger strikers as committing suicide,
taking the attitude that the motive
alone determines whether such self
destruction is justifiable.
The Vatican viewpoint is represent
ed as being that MacSwiney and his
colleagues are dying not because It is
their desire Lo die, but because their
deaths will be the consequence of the
only course their consciences In the
