one that any farmer would be proud to own. Its gabled roof gives it a graceful appearance, and it looks what it is-a modern barn for an up-to-date farm.
 by 72 feet It is wide enough to pro- vide space for two rows of stalls, feeding alley through the center and litter alleys along each side.
 On one side are two sets of stalls, one having places for nine cows and the other seven. On the other side is a row of nine stalls and two calf pens, the larger one having seven managers. At the end on one side is the bull pen, while on the other side is feed room.
 It will be noted by the floor plan that there are carrier tracks through the center of the barn, over the feed alley and on either side over the lit ter alleys. The carrier tracks provide an easy mode of carrying the feed to the managers and to carry out the lit ter. No piece of barn equipment saves more steps, physical energy and time than feed and litter carriers that travel on overhead tracks.
 The COW stable floor of this barn, as with practically every other modern barn, is of concrete. Set into the floor at the rear of the rows of stalls Is a gutter, which catches the litter and enables the farmer to gather 1t, place it in the carrier and transport 1t to the manure piles. The carrier in the center of the barn conveys the hay and other feed directly to the stall heads No more walking the length of the barn with a forkful of hay, where the carrier system is used.
 While they are not shown on this plan, every farmer who has water pressure system on his farm has fn- dividual drinking cups at each man.

FEED FOR BEEF PRODUCTION
Silage Has Proven Profitable in Tests Recently Made by Few Ex-
 pertinent Stations.

R. V. Clark, Colorado Agricultural Col
 lege, Fort Collins. Colo.
 Tests recently made by a few ex- pertinent stations proved silage prof table feed in beef production.
 Wisconsin fed one lot of steers per head per day as follows: Shelled corn 12.4 pounds, cotton seed meal 2.7 pounds, corn silage BPS pounds, and mixed hay 2.2 pounds. The cost of 100 pounds of gain was $22.64 and the profit per steer was $19.36. Another lot of steers was fed per head per day as follows: Cotton seed meal 3.5 pounds, corn silage 56.4 pounds, and mixed hay 2.6 pounds. The cost of 100 pounds gain was S16.O3 and the profit per steer was $25.33.
 The day of heavy grain feeding is over and to offset it the farmers are building silos and feeding silage.

AGE OF THE SUN AND STARS
Belief Now That They Are Several Hundred Times Older Than
 Has Been Believed.

A recent paper by MT. Harlow Snap ley brings to focus the long-standing disagreement between physical astron- omers and geologists concerning the duration of solar radiation and the conquest age of the earth, and also the question of the age of the stars in general. The short time scale of the astronomers is based on the assump- tfon that the suns heat, flowing uni- fornly at the observed rate in all di- rections, comes from such recognized sources as gravitational contraction, the fall of meteorites, radioactfvity, etc. The supply of heat from these sources could last only a few million gears. The date of geology. however. particularly the recent work on shythms in denudation and sedimen- tation and on the radioactivity of rocks. are decided.j opposed to short time

LEARNING TO KEEP RECORDS
Boys and Girls in Club Work Taught to Keep Accurate Tab on Their
 Various Projects.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricu1ture.i
 Boys and girls in club work learn to keep accurate accounts from day to day of their projects. In animal feed. ing, for example, their records con tain such items as cost of feed, cost of hired labor, if any, value of club members time or labor, receipts from sales or value at end of feeding period, and profit. Aside from the value of the work to the boy or girl in the project itself, there is a train. ing an% educational value in com plete and accurate record keeping and benefit from actual ownership which will be helpful to these future farmers when they assure larger re responsibilities.

ous care. For the lower the cost of producing an article, the more the manufacturer will make, especially when he makes an article the price of which is fixed by the law of supply and demand. Lower costs make larger profits on the farm just as much as in any other manufacturing establish ment The farmer manufactures food. Whether or not he is getting all the profit possible depends on how much of the amount he gets for, 1t is spent in producing it.
 The modern barn is equipped so that the labor of caring for the cows that produce milk and butter can be done easily and quickly. Also the mod ern barn is so constructed that the cows will be warm in winter, and comfortable COW is a better producer than an uncomfortable COW. Fresh air, sunshine and water, three of na- lures gifts, are the things that in- crease the flow of milk, and the barn

A valve controlled by a nose piece which the COW presses down turns on and off the water. A constant supply of water, it has been found, increases the flow of milk some eight or ten per cent.
 From this brief description it will be seen that a modern barn is worth while on every farm. The barn itself and it's equipment represent a fair sized investment, but it is ans invest ment that will pay good, big dividends in actual cash through saving of labor and increased production. Also there is the advantage of Tightening the work around the barn, work that is done in the early morning and in the evening, which will enable the farm CT to get better help.

 Local, and in some cases metropol- itan, newspapers offer a direct medium for publicity, particularly for farmer not too far from his customers. A limited number of city papers have a special department among classified lads" for parcel post advertising. Where there is such a column it en- hances the value of the lads" pub liShed.
 Advertising in Press.
 . To obtain satisfactory results from advertising in a newspaper, the paper selected must have circulation among persons to whom the advertisement will appeal. Advertisements should be short and should give a description of the goods with the prices, and the name and address of the person ad- vertising. In some cities the Sunday edition of a newspaper gives better results than the daily edition. The person who advertises must offer product that is wanted by the persons who read the paper at the time the product is advertised, in the places where the paper has a circulation. In other words. he must know what to advertise. when to advertise, and where to advertise. The following are sug- gested forms for parcel post classified advertising:
 Fresh Eggs direct from farm. Send - prepaid Fair View Farm. Blank, Va.
 Butter direct from the dairy. Fresh, clean and sweet Send - for two pounds delivered postpaid by parcel post Fair View Farm, Blank. Va.

An Effective, Dienified Advertisement
 on This Barn.

The farmer who possesses an auto truck-and he is legion these days-is overlooking a splendid advertising op- portunity if he does not have the name of his farm and his special products neatly 1ettered on the sides of his vehi- cle. Tren every trip to town is re- hinder to hundreds, perhaps thou sands, that the owner is still on the map. One dairy farmer who built up large retail trade in butter, eggs, cot tage cheese, etc., in addition to a large milk trade, not only carried on his vehicles the name of his farm Ga eu- phonious Indian name once applied 70 the region), but made all his trucks and wagons even more distinctive by painting them all the same color, a dark yellow.

 It would seem to be stretch of the imagination to compare a barn to a Liberty bond as an income producing investment. But when it is considered that a modern barn, equipped with la bor-saving features will not only cut down the cost of operating a dairy farm, or any other farm, and will make the live stock more productive, 1t can easily be seen that barn pays dividends just as bond.
 Cost of operation is an expense that every manufacturer watches with zeal

ADVERTISING IS
 OF GREAT VALUE
Problem for Farmer Is to Know What Kinds Are Best Suited
 to His Needs.
DIRECT APPEAL TO BUYERS
Because of Tremendous Increase tn Automobile Travel Various Simple Means Are Offered-BuIletin
 Boards Are Useful.

(Prepared by, the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Most certainly, advertising pays for | the farmer, as for the business man.
 But the problem for the farmer is to
 know the kinds suited to his particular needs-the kinds that will bring him
 money.
 To many people advertising means
 only large display-type announcements more or less expensively illustrated. But for the farmer there are scores of other ways he can be advertising his products every day, and in many cases, at cost small indeed compared with the returns. The suggestions offered herewith by marketing specialists of the United States department of agri- culture are designed particularly for the farmer who is in a position to meet a staple demand for given grades of goods. Eggs, butter, fruit, vegeta- b1es, dressed meat, dressed fowls, saul sage, are among the items the sale of which can. be promoted by consistent advertising.
 There are various comparatively sim pie means of direct appeal to buyers
 
 cause of the tremendous increase in automobile travel. Today that farm is. remote, indeed, which is not passed by town or city motorists many times a week. A count on many a so-called quiet country road will show that scores, often hundreds, of vehicles pass daily. A large number of these carry possible customers for farm products. The farmer interested in attracting such trade should look well to the appearance of his place. Perhaps old, unsightly features of which he is not conscious exist. but the passer-by is keen to discern these signs of farm management and heSitateS to purchase at place showing neglect.
 Bulletin Boards Useful.
 A well-designed bulletin board near the front gate is big asset in attract ing buyers. Just as big commercial houses know that it pays to use skill in preparing a display "ad," so the farmer in many a progressive com-s munity has learned to take pains in his bulletin board. It may be only blackboard that is used. but it should be neat and it's message easily read. In addition to the name of the farm. or the farm owner, there should be stated in large type the kinds of produce offered for sale. It is gen orally advisable to add the prices also. On some farms supplementary boards are placed considerable distance on either side of the main bulletin, call ing attention to the latter. A good sample of the wording on these fol-

SERIOUS DISEASE OF HORSES
Reappearanee of MaIady in West Leads Experts to Urge Value of
 Protective Measures.

Prepared by ths United States Depart. ment of Agriculture.)
 An outbreak of what is commonly called the Kansas horse disease has taken place in western Kansas and eastern Colorado within recent weeks. causing the loss of several hundred horses. With the reappearance of this malady, which veterinarians designate as forage poisoning, or cerebrospinal meningitis, representatives of the bu- reau of animal industry and the Col orado agricultural college began a wig orous campaign, which it is believed has effectively checked the epidemic. The fact that in the outbreak of 1912 Kansas lost some 10000 horses indi- cates the serious possibilities of such an occurrence and the value of speedy protective measures such as the fed eral and state experts have taken.
 The cause of this disease is not definitely known, but it is believed to be due to eating some form of
