Now, or a little later, American
farmers have an opportunity to start

planted, with resulting inferior yields.
The loss is largely due to delay or
negligence Autumn Is the time to
prepare for profitable corn crop the
following season.
Any intelligent farmer can go into
his corn field when the corn Is mature
and select better seed than he can
buy next spring. Unless a community
has an experienced and honest corn
breeder, the best place for the farmer
to obtain seed corn Is from the fields
on his farm or In his neighborhood,
which are planted with a variety that
has generally proved successful in that
particular locality. Too many people
consider seed good simply because 1t
will grow. To be first class, seed corn
must be:
/. Well adapted to the climatic and
SOL conditions where II is to be
planted.
.. OF high-yieldlng variety and
from hlgb-ylelding stalks of that va
riety.
3. Well matured and preserved from
ripening time until planting time In a
manner that win retain its full vital
ity.
4. Free from disease and insect in

We are all more or less familiar
with the "old red barn" which until
recently was as well known along the
country side as the little red school
house. But with the march Of prog
ress the little red school house soon
lost Its prestige and is now replaced
by the more modern and efficient con-
solldated or district school, 1t was
inevitable that the Anticipated barn
should follow down the road to OBJ
livion. II has been one of the re-

for carrying away the litter to the
manure pit.
The barn is frame In construction,
set on a solid concrete foundation.
The entire floor Is concrete with cork
brick on the stall floors. Plenty of
good sized windows along the lower
floor provide the sunshine and ventila-
tion that Is so important In housing
animals. II not only keeps them
healthy but stimulates production by
keeping them active and alert. Active
animals are workers and are con-
tented ard as the familiar saying goes
"contented cows produce plenty of
fine quality milk"
Passing down the main alley of the
horse barn we find door opening into
the dairy section. Here two rows of
stalls have been built facing in. Again
the carrier track over the feeding
alleys and the litter alleys relieves
the help of the heavy work Of cart
ing litter from the barn and feed to
the animals. These cow stalls are
of the latest type. set in concrete.
There are individual drinking cups In
front Of each stall providing the cows
with constant supply of clean fresh
water, one Of the most important fac
tors In good milk production. The
stanchions are humane, yet firm and
sanitary. At the far end of the barn
are box stalls.
This barn design represents one OF
the most efficient types Of combina-
ton barns for the average farm.

haphazard methods. insanitary con-
diti0ns and poor stock.
Better farm buildings have been the
natural outgrowth Of the present CEN
fury OF efficiency and sanitation. The
old barn could not survive. Better
buildings meant healthier, more com
tented stock and increased produc-
ton. Increased production is the fore
runner OF greater profits and greater
profits mean more comforts Of life for
the farmer and his family.
That is why barns such as that
