»S NEED TO BEILIJOIISED Vlodern Dairy Barn Is Good In vestment for Farmer. SPLENDID TYPE OF BUILDING Substantial Frame Structure With Ac commodations for 18 Cows—Effi cient Labor-Saving Equipment Installed. _____ to By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. 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, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for 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 i p sa'-o" *j I —; i LtTTE# Alley ] TH - \ | j: I y' ' REUk * fiiSSlrFrl! pH , STAlii T ! Cutter jj tp,/ :! PENL^/|Q 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. I _____ Cartridges Save Home. A novel sort of automatic fire alarm saved from destruction the home of Maj. Isador Xeustatter, for years bailiff of the lineal court. At 1:15 j a. m. he was awakened by a succes sion of muffled pistol shots, soon 10. . catPd hi a clothing closet from which flames were beginning to emerge. The fire department soon was at hand and t only slight damage was done. The major had stored pistol ammunition in the closet, which exploded as the j cartridges became heated. —Tucson I Correspondence Los Anireiea Tima* THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. 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.

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.

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.

Has Plan To Lessen Flood Danger West Point. —The West Point Rot ary club and a number of other inter- I ested citizens of West Point have se ' cured the services of Captain B. M j Hall and son, Ben, Jr., who are prom inent civil and hydrographis engineers of Atlanta, to make a survey of a narrow place in the Chattahoochee 1 river between West Point and Lang | dale with the idea of broadening and : straightening the ehanmd which will r.llow the water to pass off more rapid ; ly and prevent future dangerous flood conditions in Wost Poi r 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.
