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 ToTT IfcM vjrnk' ■_ . 5 ISA /E O * p_ f P Si ± FL.

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.” The Doctor's Prescription.

PENNSYLVANIA COMMUNITY EFFORT BRINGS DAIRYMEN BETTER PRICES __ l ;.. • \ I; . .. ■ ■ d 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. UNITED STATES NOW RAISES BEST STOCK i Foreign Buyers Find Desirable Animals in This Country. Live Stock Industry Not Surpassed by Any Other Region in the World — Has Greatest Number of Pure bred Herds. Buyers of purebred live stock throughout the world are coming In in creasing numbers to the United States. | according to the bureau of markets of the United States department of agri culture. Foreign breeders now find in this country the greatest number of purebred herds, all breeds being well represented, and are assured of every facility for obtaining exactly the ani mals desired. For many years breeders In the Unit ed States have been importing the fin est nnimals from other countries, and by the most rigid selection In keen competition with other breeders have developed purebred live stock until now the live stock industry in this country Is not surpassed by any other country In the world. In recent years animals bred in the United Stntes have repeatedly won in open competition ngnlnst imported animals at the lead mg live stock shows and expositions. ANIMALS FOR M'LK ANO BEEF • Impossible to Produce Breed Combirv ing These Functions and of Su perior Merit. 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 rior merit for both purposes.

BOARD RECENT DISTURBANCES SAID TO BE THE INEVITABLE RE SULT OF WAR LOANS STEADILY INCREASED Board Says That Farmers Must Do pend Entirely Upon The 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 commodation extended member banks by the federal reserve banks.”. POPE BENEDICT WILL NOT CONDEMN THE IRISH HUNGER STRIKER 3 London. —Terence MacSwiney, the hunger-striking lord mayor of Cork, is reported by the Brixton prison doc tor, getting along fairly well, accord ing to a bulletin issued by the Irish : Self-Determination league on the loi d mayor’s condition. A person closely connected with 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 cii cumstances permit them to take.
