that has a well-equipped, well-mau-
aged creamery. The fact that the

United States Department of AgricLl-
ture probably gives it no appreciate
financial advantage. because the rela-
tionship is investigational and has not
REDUCED the cost of manufacture below
that possible in many other creamer-
les. The products are always sold on
their merits, and the name of the
department is not used TO advertise
them.
The success OF the Grove City
creamery is due largely to the admir-
able community spirit that has been
built up there and in the surround
ing district. That this spirit exists
to-day is due largely to the efforts
put forth by the business men Of
Grove City. especially the members of
the commercial club, an organization
that is open to the farmers of Tie
neighborhood who are interested in
the advancement of dairying. From
the very outset of the undertaking.

active interest in the creamery and

cultural development through dairy

POULTRY MAXlMS

1t is urged by the United States
Department of Agriculture that all
farmers and poultrymen adhere
strictly to the following principle rules
in handling their poultry and eggs:
Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens.
Gather the eggs twice daily.
Keep the eggs in a cool. dry room
or cellar.
Market the eggs at least twice a
week.
Sell, kill, or confine all male birds
as soon as the Matching season is
over, so as to produce infertile eggs
The male bird has no effect on the
number of eggs produced.

In supplying feed to fowls. there

mineral, heterogeneous, and carbonace-
Gus, ali of which are contained in
corn, wheat oats. and barley, but not
in the right proportion to give the
greatest egg yield. In addition, some
animal feed and green feed should be
supplied.

ing, and by their enthusiasm they
aroused the interest of the farmers.
The business men of Grove City
took the first step, the farmers met
them half way, and all are now work
ing for a common cause, which is the
building up Of successful dairy COM
munity. Though the business mel
began the work for the public good
and with little thought of personal
gain, they have found that it is pay
ing them well, because better farr,
ing has brought them better business.
The records of the creamery show
a remarkable increase in income de-
rived from the sale of it's products
For the first year. from July l, 1915,
to June 80. 1916, the gross incOn"
was $S2.432: the second year it in
creased to $212.904 the third year,
to $375,596; and last year the gross
income totaled $5O5 SO. AS only a
small part of the money was used to
pay the cost of operation, nearly ali
OF it was distributed among the farm
ers around Grove City. Since much of
the income was due to increased and
improved farm business, large part
of it may fairly be considered as
newly created wealth.
The most direct cause of the greatly
increased prosperity of the Grove City
community is the more profitable
dairy COW. Dairying in the Grove
City district has been much improved
by the purebred that have been ship
ped out. The cowtesting association,
which has taken the guesswork out OF
dairying in that district. is an organ
ization of the dairy farmers who emit
ploy tester to test their cows for
production and to keep feed and pro-
duction records.
Tuberculin tests from April. 1915
to May. 1920, were made on 80:

these. 14S herds are already acre
dited. According to latest figures
$50 farmers in the vicinity of Grove
City own one or more purebred dairy
animals. The importation of pure
breds is going forward steadily.
The creamery has gained a repu.
tation for high quality of products
This has brought a ready market al
satisfactory prices, which have en-
couraged larger production. Increased
production and satisfactory prices
have made the farmers more prosper
Gus. Increased financial prosperity
however, is only a small part of the
gain that has come to the community
Better schools, better churches. bet
! ter homes, and better social cOndi-
tons are coming as result Of this
because the people have learned to
work together without friction.
To achieve such success as that at
Grove City, it is not necessary for
community to engage in the manufac'
ture Of dairy products. The Grove
City plan can be adapted as we'll to
any other types Of agriculture. TIC
make the work a success. however. the
community must cast aside all selfish
ness, pull together. and organize, and
should select for its field agent man
of personality. education. ability, and
diplomacy. He should be thoroughly
trained in scientific and practical
agriculture and must have had wide
experience. With such a man III
charge and with a modern creamery
there is every reason to believe that
any community, with the spirit of &C.
operation and even fair agricultural
resources, can do what the Grove City
community has done.

ANCIENT WATER
BASIN UNCOVERED
Workmen on Main Street Drainage
System Strike Brick Receptacle
May Have Been Built in 1884.

Workmen excavating for the Main
street drainage pipe are now tunneling
under the north half of the Elliot and
Main street junction, from the hole
which they have dug where the traffic
post stood. In digging this hole they
came in contact with an old brick wa
ter basin built many years ago for the
storage of water for fire protection. On
breaking through the basin they found
soft mud into which they plunged an
iron bar downward for nearly the en-
tire length of the bar.
When the basin was built is not
known, but in the Independent In
quirer, published in Brattleboro in
1894, is a discussion concerning the
proposed location of seven brick water
basins.
In the hole dug north of the street
junction the workmen have uncovered
an old horseshoe drain, made of fiat
stones on which are laid sections OF
hollow concrete, an end view of which
would resemble a horseshoe. The see
tions are eemented together.
