Music For Bessie
During Milking Is
Latest Dairy Aid

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Dec. e.
Electric lights in henhouses as
an inducement to Biddie to lay
more eggs, is not a new idea
in Arkansas, but a new means OF
getting greater milk production
from dairy cows has been sug-
gested-music.
The suggestion, or rather dec
laration that music would induce
Bessie to produce an extra quart
or so of milk, was made by Mrs,
Septimus Smith, a South Dakota
woman. >
ut has been proven by expert
ment," Mrs. Smith Is quoted as
saying, that the net amount of
milk obtained at one milking is
sometimes increased by as much
as two quarts by the influence
of music. The best means of
meeting this suggestion is to in
stall cheap phonogpraphs with
plenty of violin records in the
dairy barns"

Phenomenal Growth Of An Agricultural Weekly In Alabama Farm Facts Now Covers Every County in the State REAL FARMERS PAPER
  Has Won Its Way by Devoting Itself to Alabama Interests
 Exclusively
REAL FARMERS PAPER

Less than one year ago, on November 15, 1919. Alabama Farm Facts was stand ardized as an agricultural journal, being
 the outgrowth of Farm and Immigra-
 tion, published for five years as a Sum day supplement to the Montgomery Ad-
 vertiser. This week the bona fide, indi- vidual paid circulation of Alabama Farm
 Facts numbers fl ,670 distributed through
 out every agricultural county in Ala
 bama. Agents in every county, farming and live stock organizations which have adopted the paper as their official jour
 nal and nine supervising agents travel ing the state constantly in Ford cars are
 increasing this circulation at an average of 700 weekly and by the end of the year
 the publishers are confident that an
 audit will show over 60,0O0 subscribers
 thousands of whom are paid in advance for three years.
 This popularity has been achieved be- cause Alabama Farm Facts is exclusive ly an Alabama publication, published by Alabamians for Alabama farmers and
 live stock raisers and the fruit and nut
 growers and dairying interests of the state. It met the strcng demand of Ala
 bama farmers for a state medium de- voted solely to their industry and not di-
 viding interests with other states whose
 crop system and agricultural problems are not like those of Alabama.
 Alabama Farm Facts closely cooper
 ates with the State Extension Service and the agricultural authorities at Au- burn-the states great school of farm ing and live stock raising-and with the Alabama Department Of Agriculture. The leading men of these development forces are its regular contributors and
 their articles specially apply to this state. | It is the official journal of the AmerI- can Cotton Association, Alabama Di- vision; of the Montgomery Live Stock Market and Alabama live stock interests generally; of the County Extension | Agents and the Boys and Girls Clubs f of the state; of the newly organized | Alabama Peanut Growers Association, which raises one-fourth of the entire peanut crop of the United States; of the Sweet Potato Growers, whose industry has made Alabama the leading state in this production and of numberless coun- lty organizations formed for the purpose | of .safe farming" So representative IS Farm Facts of these organizations that at a recent agricultural meeting in | Dothan. the extension agent for county ! ;n southeast Alabama made the state ment that Alabama Farm Facts had sa greater circulation in his county that all other state and outside publications com ib;ned This is true of many counties in other districts.

Bishop Breaches Strong Ser mon on Making the Temple of God a House of

 A sanctuary of prayer the little church became at this consecration hour. to all who entered there. The purity of it's purpose, and it's sacrifi- cial zeal, seemed emblemized in the burning white tapers that gleamcd from background of spotless chrys- al themums and stately palms.

 AND COSTLY GIFTS

 My dear brethren, we have confe together today to consecrate to the same God another temple. It behooves us to consider for moment the cause for the Masters grief. and the req son for His rejection of that earlier temple.
 For the merchandise and for the tables of the money changers that had found their way into tho temple. there was every possible excuse. if any ex- cuse was possible. All that was done in this respect was done in the name of religion and for the furtherance of the worship of the people. Oxen and sheep and doves were required for the sacrifices which constituted the main part of the Jewish worship. These things were necessities and it was not possible for the many who travelled from far countries to bring these nec- essary things with them. The oxen and the sheep and the doves had to be pro- cured after these travelinr strangers had reached the city; and the hours for the sacrifice were restricted.
 More than that. coafwop moeey was not at that time i and the

THIS BRINGS US TO
 THE SERVICE OF TO-DAY

For many years the members of
 this congregation have toiled and saved and given in money, time and energy for the erection of this house: and now that it's s construction has
 reached completion, the building is of fered to the church for consecration. "A stranger to the ideals of the church would naturally ask the ques-
 tion: If the congregation is privileged
 to erect and to pay for the building,
 why should not the congregation,
 through its clerical or lay representa-
 tives consecrate the building? What
 is there about the service of consecra-
 tion that the rector of the parish can
 not do? Why was it necessary to se-
 cure the presence of the bishop of
 the diocese in order that this building
 might be consecrated as house of
 worship?
 These questions are perfectly nat
 ural, and in the answer to these
 questions lies the genius of the
 church.
 Let it be clearly borne in mind that
 We are not here merely as an asso-
 citation of men and women with a common interest. We are gathered
 here as members of Gods family, the
 church; and the church of God is a
 body-even the body of Christ. Life
 and growth, and development in the h'cHipCI, cepaEdte ana apart rom the life of the body is not only inconceiv- able, but it is impossible. The bud
 must be grafted into the vine, and
 must become a part of the vine; other
 wise it cannot receive the life of the vine. The conservation service marks. even as it insures, the establishment of a relationship between the church as the whole, and the parish as a part. The act of the congregation is complete when the building has been erected and offered as a gift.
 The service of consecration Is br oader in scope and deeper in meaning than the mere dedication of build ing. In this house the worship of Almighty God is to be conducted and Christian instruction is to be given; and some authoritative body must be responsible for both. The continual change in the rectorship of the parish, too often at the will and whim of the people, and the fraility and foiable and cratic fancies of the human mind, even as best constituted, would render 1t unsafe to place the congregation at the mercy of any one man, without

 ''In the conservation service the par ish of St. Andrew is. by the act and the authority of the diocese, made 2 part of the general church, and in the same service the diocese, through the bishop, assumes spiritual jurisdiction over the building, the worship and the clergyman who ministers at this all tar and teaches from the pulpit Thus only could the congregation be as sUred that the rearing of your chil- dren shah be in the truth as this church hath received the same and that the worship shall be in accordance with the provisions of the book of com mon Draver

The mind and the determination of
 this congregation have been clearly
 expressed in the articles of donation,
 stated in the following words which
 have been uttered in your hearing:

 God, erected a house of public woT-
 ship, we do hereby appreciate and de-

 church, and in union with the conven- tion thereof in the diocese of Ala bama.
 "'And we do also hereby request the right reverend bishop, the bishop of the said diocese. to take the said build- ing under his spiritual Jurisdiction as bishop aforesaid and that of his suc-, cessorg in office, and to consecrate the same by the name of St. Andrew, and thereby separate it from all unhallowed.
 worldly and common uses, and solemnly l deditate it to the holy purposes above
 mentioned.
 And we do moreover hereby relin- quish all claim to any right of dis posing of the said building, or allow Ing the use of 1t in any way incQn- sistent with the terms and true mean
 ing of this instrument of donation, and
 with the conservation hereby request ed os the right reverend, the bishop
 of this diocese.
 tTn the consecration service, this congregation ceases to exist as an in-
 dependent party, and becomes a mem her of the diocese of labama and of the general church. From this time forever, what this parish undertakes must claim the interest and oversight or the diocese; and what the diocese undertakes becomes an obligation rest iEg upon the parish.
 Tt is for this reason that 'congre- gationalism and 'parochialism' can be main tained only moral crime Congregationalism is an effort to tie strings to a free gift after the men and women who made the gift are dead; and thus to render meaningless the sacred service of conservation. | Congregationalism is dishonesty to the church that seeks to live and give | life. It is for this reason that, whef- ever 'congregationalism or 'parochial- | ism has been permitted to encroach upon the activities of the people, the ! fruit of the toll, labor and gift has | been rendered void.
