can be piped to individual drinking
cups at each stall.
Sunshine and fresh air are two of
the things that keep the cows healthy
ard productive. The windows in this
barn permit the sunshine to fall on the
litter alleys and cutters. Sunshine kills
germs and keeps the barn air whole
some. The windows also admit plenty
of fresh air, the foul air being drawn
out of the stable through the shafts
and out of the ventilators on the roof.
Just a word about the silo. One
third of the feed value of corn is in
the stalk. Consequently one-thrd of
the productive value of each acre
planted to corn is conserved when the
stalks are chopped and stored in the
silo. This Is the only fresh feed that
can be provided for cows in the winter,
and there is not only a saving in mon
ey, but the cows fed on ensilage pro-
duce larger amount of milk, that is
heavier in butterfat.
Positive Necessities.
A modern barn and silo are positive
necessities in modern dairy farming.
They keep high-priced animals healthy
and productive, save labor, and con-
serve feed, which at its present price
Is good business.
In planning dairy barn, or general
purpose-harn, it is always well to con-
suit the local architect, builder and
material dealer before deciding on the
design These men know how a barn
should be built to supply the needs of
the individual They also can tell
what such building will cost, and will
help finance the building should 1t be
necessary.
Dairy products are high in price now
| just as are other farm products. And
| they will continue so for some years to
come, according to those who are in
position to predict future conditions
For these reasons the farmer or dairy
man who is successful must have his
milk and butter manufacturing estab
lishment built and equipped so that he
can produce what he has to sell at the
| least cost In this way his herd will
pay him handsome profit.

NO CREDIT
CHARGES BANK
And Having None, Street Rail
ways Credit Gould Not Be
Damaged.

The Bank Of Commerce and Trust
company Monday demUrred to the
cross-bm filed last week in which the
Memphis Street Railway company
sought a Judgment of $157 900 from
the bank because the bank applied a
deposit of $5T, 900 upon payment of a
past-due note of the company,
One interesting allegation in the de-
murreT is that the street railway COM
pany was contemplating a receiver
ship, unable to pay its debts and had
no credit, and therefore there can be
no injury to said alleged credit"
Wilson x Armstrong, VINO filed the
demurrer for the bank, claim in II that
the main portion Of the cross-bill ftled
by the company refers to matters other
thar those set out in the original bill
of the bank vs.. the company; that the
original bill sues specifically upon a
promissory note and that, irrespective
Of the allegations in the cross bill, the
bank is entitled to a judgment for the
amount due on the note.
In the matter of the taking OF the
$57, 600 deposit and its Application upon
a past-due note. the bank claims That
the street railway COMPANY has no
right to claim that any OF THIS amount
ought to have gone to other creditors
as those creditors are the fonly ones
who legally can file such a claim.
The demurrer closes with the usual
request for the chancellor to direct
whether or not the bank shall be COM
PEELED to answer the c~ross-bill.

GROCER WOULD
CUT HIGH PRICES
Head Of National AS
ISOLATION Says Better Bust
ness Methods Will Do 1t.

The reduction of the high cost of
foodstuffs through standardization of
the retail g~rocers' method of doing
business is the proposal made by John
A. Green. former president OF the Ma
tional Retail GroCers' association.
Mr.. Green Is in Memphis for the pur-
pose Of addressing the retail merchants
at a meeting in the Chamber of Com
merce this evening. He is from Cleve-
land, Ohio, and Is a practical grocer OF
long experience. His visit to Memphis
is part of a. tour of rs Southern cities
for the purpose Of assisting the retail
grocers in solving the heavy problems
of the day. "a quicker turnover of his
goods and shorter time credits to the
consumer, must be instituted by the re-
taller if he Is to meet the eXactlng con
ditions of the present time said MI
Green.
In connection with the quicker turn
over of stock, he stated, the retailer
must learn to buy according to the
Weeds of his trade, to apply system and
intelligent consideration to all OF ms
purchases. II have seen more men go
on the rocks in the grocery business by
huytnr in quantity than from any other
cause know Of" said Mr.. Green. The
grocer generally loses instead of makes
money by buying in large quantities
he said. A dealer makes a mistake, he
said. by thinking that he" is saving
money when he ties up capital in a
commodity for say six months or a
year, lust because he thinks he has a
chance to buy a greater quantity a rev
cents cheaper. "lf a dealer must keep
a commodity on hand sly months ne
must add 10~rer cent for the use OF. his
money. and another 10 per cent II lie
keeps it a year"
