Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COOT 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,

reply.
Low prices which grains are bring
ing on the market bring to our minds
more forcibly than ever the good busi
ness wisdom of each farmer having a
herd of dairy cattle. In times like
these he can feed his grain to the
stock rather than sacrifice it at a low
price and get increased returns from

dairy products which are always in
demand and which bring a satisfactory
Jprice. The one-crop farm is gradually
Hosing out because in most cases it is
[economically unsound. If the crop
fails, the farmer lias nothing to fall
Iback upon. But if he raises in addi
tion to his regular crop, dairy cows
and livestock, he can always depend
[upon them for a living.
The dairy herd is the farmer’s best
friend. Day in and day out the cows
go on quietly but persistently produc
ing milk which finds a ready market.
As long as these cows are well housed
and well fed they will produce. But
put them in a ramshackle barn with
yawning cracks through which biting
winds can blow and draughts can
chill, the animals will react unfavor
ably. They are like humans —they
must be comfortable or they cannot
work. The more contented the cow,
the greater the output.
Suitable housing is the solution —
the short cut to regular return and
large income. In short, a real barn
is needed to make a herd a profitable
proposition. And a real barn is need
ed to keep the farm organization in
smooth working order. The success
of a farmer with his help often de
pends upon the way he handles his
herd.
For the average farm with a small j
herd of dairy cattle the barn shown
in the accompanying Illustration is '
just what is needed. Here we have 1
a well-constructed building, firm con
crete foundation, staunch timbers sup
porting high gambrel roof allowing
plenty of unobstructed space for a
big hay mow. Frame siding has been j
used and when this Is painted white
as it is in the picture, it makes a fine
looking building.
This barn has a capacity for 18
cows, several calves and the bull. The i
cow stalls are arranged in rows facing
in towards a central feed alley, each
side having nine modem steel stalls |
with steel oartltions. individual drink- 1
uig cups and mangers. The barn floor
U concrete contoured to take care of
rlie gutters in the rear of the stall and
the manger pits in front. There are
also three stalls for breeding cows.
The ventilation system is well worth
attention. Fresh air inlets at the side
along the window ledge draw in a
supply of fresh air continuously. A
ventilator on the roof insures a con
stant supply of fresh air and aids in
drawing off the poisonous gases which
accumulate around the stalls. Ade
quate lightning protection has been
installed on the high points to pro
tect the building from tire by light
ning.
Important, however, is the equip
ment that has been used to make the
work of the hired help easier and
lighter. Drudgery in the dairy barn
has long been the bugaboo for the
farmer because it has been the stum
bling block in the way of getting and
keeping help. This barn is built to
keep help and make them more effi
cient.
The labor-saving equipment in mind
is the special overhead track for haul
ing feed and litter carriers. By this
method work with wheelbarrows is
eliminated.
This overhead track runs from the
feed mixing room, which is at the end
of the building next to the two 10-foot
hollow tile silos to the various pens
and stalls. In short, a carrier is load
ed up with silage or grain and pushed
along without much exertion. An
other overhead track runs along the
litter alley out into the yard to the
manure pit. With this type of equiD-
ment installed, it is easy to under
stand how the jobs of feeding and
caring for the animals have been
greatly lightened.
Dairy bams of this type are instru
mental in a large way in keeping the
boys satisfied and not so eager to try
out the cities. They find work under
such conditions quite pleasant. And
it is inevitable that the success of
the good barn will convince the farm
er that his house should be just as
modern. The result is a modern farm
home with conveniences.
Golden Mosaic Discovered.
A young American, Harry Sternfela
of Pittsburgh, winner of .the I’rix de
Paris and student of the American
academy there, has discovered a mas
terpiece of Cosinodi mosaics. They
embellish a great facade of a medieval
cathedral, several miles from Rome,
at Clvta Casteilana, a place for cen
turies forgotten, where the genius of
Cosmodi and his sons is commonplace
because of familiarity.
The design was executed in the year
1210, and shows the influences of the
Byzantine school. The whole of the
facade is rich in color and glitters
with golden fragments of stone. The
immense detail in the design staggers
one as he proceeds to examine it close
| ly. The top of the loggia is one mass
of mosaic in variegated colors.

CREAMERY PROIECT
PAYS IN MOULTRIE
PROOF OF GROWTH OF DAIRY IN
DUSTRY FURNISHED BY FIG
URES JUST ISSUED
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Sections Os
The State
Moultrie. —Impressive proof of the
marked growth of the dairy industry
around Moultrie is furnished by fig
ures just issued by the Moultrie
Creamery company, which shows that
it is manufacturnig from 4,000 to 5,000
pounds of butter per week, besides
selling large quantities of sweet
cream. Most c7 the milk used by the
plant is furnished by dairymen living
within a close radius of Moultrie, al
though the plant gets daily shipments
from points as far east as Valdosta,
as far south as Tallahassee and as far
north as Fitzgerald.
Despite its large production at this
time, the creamery is not yet running
full capacity, it being able to take care
of 5,000 gallons of whole milk a day.
It uses 200 gallons daily in packing
condensed milk, and has the only con
densing plant in the state. The cream
ery is finding no trouble in disposing
of its finished product. In fact, ac
cording to a statement issued by the
management, it has been necessary
to cut nearly all orders received with
in the last few weeks half in two.
The butter turned out by the plant
is shipped to various cities in the
couth, and recently one of the big
butter manufacturers of the country !
offered to take the entire product and
furnish cartons in which to pack it.
The offer was not accepted. the
creamery wishing to build up a trade
under its own name.
One of the big shipping points is
Jacksonville, and recently an inspec
tor from that city came to Moultrie
to look over the creamery. After
going through it he pronounced it as
one of the best equipped from every
standpoint to be found anywhere in
the South.
Recently the company has put on
a field man who gives his entire time
to helping farmers get started in Ihe
dairy business and-advising with those
who are already giving considerable
attention to the milking of cows and
the sale of whole milk or sour cream.
Channel Adequate For Monster Ship
Brunswick. —The largest, vessel ever
in this port is now lying at the docks
of the Atlantic Refining company. The
coming of this monster ship, the J.
P. Donnell, of 15,0-00 tons, attracted
considerable attention along the river
front and in shipping circles gener
ally, and it is said it is the largest
craft ever to enter this port. This
immense steamship came in with no
effort, and not even a jolt was ..felt
as she crossed the bar. Captain Wil
liam Loback was entrusted with pilot
ing this steamer, and carried her on
past of the city on
to the wharves of the Atlantic Refin
ing company, showing beyond a doubt
that the size of the vessel makes little
difference when it conies to entering
this port.

BIG TOUKIS) f HOTEL
PLANNED IN MACON
! 150,000 Company Organized And Plans
Are Definitely On Foot To
Erect Structure
Macon. —With a holding company
organized and capitalized at $50,000
plans are definitely on foot to erect
a tourish hotel on property on the
east side of the Ocmulgee river on
a tract of land consisting of 470 acres.
Emory Winship, T. J. Carling. E. W.
Burke, R. L. McKenney, W. B. Sparks
and John N. Birch signed the applica
tion for charter which has already
been filed.
The holding company will take over
the property, free of all encumbrances,
and will promote the development of
a. tourist hotel which has so long been
needed in Macon. A colony of homes
will be built on the property, golf
links laid out and a big amusement,
park provided for. The matter of
erecting the hotel will be taken up
immediately with tourist hotel opera
tors.
Quite a number of operators have
already signified their interest in the
project, when the tourist hotel prop
osition was started some months ago.
The site for the hotel is one of the
highest points in the county. One
section of the property is rolling land
and the other is covered with beau
tiful virgin timber. The hotel will
occupy the highest point of the en
tire tract, which is declared to be
an ideal place for a tourist hotel.
Golf experts have declared the prop
erty an ideal for an eighteen-hole
course. Experts have inspected the
site and declared it one of the most
satisfactory that could he found for
a tourist hotel site. The holding com
pany has started to work in earnest
and it is believed that contracts witl
he closed within due time for the
erecting of one of the most modern
tourist hotels to be found in ihe
South.
Walker Papers Mystery Deepens
Atlanta.—A dispatch from Austin,
Tex., seems to complicate further the
mystery of the disappearance of the
original requisition issued by Gover
nor Hardwick for the return of John
D. Walker to Hancock county to stand
trial on an indictment charging em
bezzlement. Sheriff Jackson, of Han
cock county, who was named as the
state of Georgia’s agent in the re
quisition. and to whom it was sent
by the governor, states that he sent
the requisition to the governor of
Texas by registered mail, and explain
ed the failure of the requisition to
reach its destination on the ground
that the registered package must have
been opened in transit and the requi
sition removed. About ten days later,
Sheriff Jackson gave out the informa
tion that he had received a letter
from the governor of Texas informing
him that the original requisition had
been received at Austin, in a separate
package.
Coweta Farmers Turn To Dairying
Newnan.—The normal production of
cotton in Coweta county is 30,000 bales
a year, hut last year the crop allowed
a shrinkage, and the yield approx
imated 20.000. This year, it is esti
mater, the farmers will raise 7,000
hales. In a word, the cotton produc
tion of the country this year is less
than 25 per cent of the normal growth.
It is superfluous in the circumstances
to comment ui>on the visitation of the
boll weevil to Coweta county. True
enough, the weather was not alto
gether favorable for the production
of the fleecy staple. Hut adverse ele
mental conditions were nothing as
compared to the weevil infestation.
Seek To Oust Tax Collector
Summerville. Following the pres
entation of a petition and filing of
affidavits seeking to have A. H. Glenn,
tax collector of this county, removed
from office on account of alleged
shortage in public funds, Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick has ordered a
hearing of the case in Atlanta soon.
The petition, which was signed by 30C
citizens of Chattooga county, seeks
to have Governor Hardwick perma
nently remove Glenn from the tax
collector’s office, the charges against
tlie tax collector growing out of an
alleged unpaid balance of the 1920
county taxes, which has caused con
siderable litigation in the county.
Negro Slayer Os Banker To Hang
Lawrenceville. Wesley Cooper,

FIERCE RIOTING
IN BRITISH INDIA
j
ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS IN
CREASED FOR RECEPTION OF
THE PRINCE OF WALES
150 CASUALTIES REPORTED
;
Many Die And Scores Are Injured As
Troops Fire Into Mobs at
Bombay
Bombay.—Six more deaths and
scores of wounding* have resulted
from renewed fierce rioting here, the
initial outbreak of which featured the
arrival of the Prince of Wales for his
tour of India.
The fighting, which was only con
trolled after troops were compelled
to fire many shots, was of a very
determined nature, and took on the
character of a protest against Euro
peans.
The military had been in control of
the disaffected districts ever since
sanguinary disturbances occured si
multaneously with the arrival of the
British throne heir.
Several volleys were fired into mobs
recently, and it is announced that a
check of the casualties reveals that a
total of one hundred and fifty persons
were removed to hospitals from the
scenes of the disturbances.
Six of the hospital cases resulted in
death.
One mob “shockingly mutilated’’ a
European girl, it is announced.
The Prince of Wales arrived on the
battleship Renown, for a tour of the
country. He is to hold a monster
reception for the Indian rulers at
Delhi. Many attempts were made in
England to prevent the visit in the
belief that the arrival of the prince
would prove a signal for the unleash
ing of the gradually increasing Indian
ferment.
The elaborate precautions for hit
safety have been increased.
More trouble was feared from the
followers of Mahatma Gandhi, the
Hindu “non-co-ope rationists’’ leader,
hut it is significant that this faction
is not actively concerned in the pres
ent outbreaks. The program of non
co-operation is being continued,
Gandhi himself expressed disappoint
ment over the shedding of blood, and
announcing his purpose pf fasting
twenty-four hours weekly. He regret
ted his inability to prevent outbreaks,
in which a number were killed.
Radical followers of the parsees are
charged with inciting the present dis
turbances.
“Crash In Finance Fast Approaching’’
London.—Pnless the United States
shoulders the burden of world finance,
only a miracle can avert the financial
catastrophe which is ever drawing
nearer, the Sunday Times declares In
its editorial columns. The newspaper
reagrds the limitation of armaments
as an accomplished fact for which
it gives credit to the United States
and passes on to its discussion of fi
nance with the remark that it is hoped
the American people will display equal
courage and foresight in coping with
the vastly more imminent menace of
world finance. “America alone can sta
bilize credit by devising some scheme
for financing the nations now hovering
on the brink of insolvency,” it says, un
der the caption: “Washington and
World Finance.”
“Congress Waits On Revenue Bill’’
Washington.—The hope of congres
sional leaders for immediate ad
journment of the extra session,
depends, it fs said, on whether the sen
ate and house will he able to adopt
the conference report on the tax bill.
Although there is some difference of
opinion on this point, the general view
is that the session will end this,week.
Leaders say the house will take up the
conference report later. Meanwhile,
the senate will continue the Ford-New
berry election contest, but with little
hope of reaching an agreement a«i to
a time for its disposition.
