we use both "falI' and autumn

When planning O new barn the aver
age farmer has to consider his imita-
lions In the way of cost and utility. On
the larger dairy farms the dairy barn
Is built for the exclusive s Of the
dairy herd and no provision Is made
for other animals. On the g~eneral-pur-
pose farm, however, where the farmer
has a small herd and also q few horses
he generally wants a barn that viii
take care Of both. The general type
Of dairy barn is needed with pens for
horses. Such is the barn shown here
with floor plans.
A handsome looking structure, built
Of frame, with a substantial hollow
tile foundation, 1t has been designed
to accommodate nine cows, six horses
and several calves. The roof Is the
familiar gambrel shape with modern

SUPERSTITION OF WHITE EGG
Hard to Account for Widespread Fall
lacy That the Brown She'll Con- ;
tains inferior Product.

OF all the food superstitions that
cause high ~prices-and there are
many-the white egg superstition Is
pointed out by @. Houston Goudiss,
editor Of the Forecast Magazine, as one
Of the most curious.
In nearly every section Of the
country" says MI. Goudiss, ''there is
q difference In the price between the
brown and the white egg. On a mo-
tor trip through New Jersey recently
I noticed that white eggs were bring,
Ing as high as % cents per dozen
o than brown eggs. Why, the
gods, who play with our fears and
prejudices and laugh at us, only know.
''The white egg costs no more to pro-
duce than the brown egg. Exactly the
same feed is used to produce both eggs.
Both are equal In food value. The only
reason for a difference In price is q
greater demand on the part Of house
wives for the white egg. ] once heard
a Jewish housewife say It was more
sanitary and on another occasion an
American with no religious leaning In
formed me that the white egg was a
better egg, ven the shell felt nicer.
Producers and dealers have been quick
to capitalize this superstition.
Cautiously enough. In some Of the
large cities Of the country, brown eggs
bring 9 higher price than do white
ones ! have heard this explained ID
these cities with the sage information
that the brown egg ii stronger and
more 'meaty' than the white egg.n

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agrfculture)5
Two years ago a bull association
was organized In Webster County,
Mo-; and a year later another one in
the adjoining counties Of Wright and
Douglas. The experience Of these two
associations illustrates the tendencies
that such organizations display. A
tabular comparison Is given below,
from which it will be noted that both
organizations brought about a great
reduction In the number of bulls need
ed. Before organizing, Webster coun-
ty had l bull for every IL cows, and
Wright and Douglas counties / bull
for every % cows; but In each locality
after they got the association into
operation they found l bull for every
so COWS was enough. ..-s...
i. Another great change was in the
value of the bulls. Before the bull as
sociations e organized the bulls
which the members owned were valued
at SIS each. After organizing, the
bulls purchased and owned by the two
associations were worth on the aver
age about $275 each, which Is nearly
four times as much as the privately
owned bulls.
Yet the cost was not much greater
per farm. When an individual owns
a bull, the value Of the bull and the
amount Of the investment are the
same; but in a cooperative associa-
ton each man pays only a part of the
cost. The tabulation shows that the
investment per farmer, that is, the
average amount that each man had to
pay was about n and a quarter
times as much after the organization
as 1t was before, in Webster county,
and a little over twice as much in the
Wright-D Douglas association; but In
both cases the value of the individual

by a comparatively small additional
investment the members Of these two
associations were able to secure very
much more valuable bulls.
Both these Missouri associations
seem to have considerable influence in
encouraging their members to keep
pure-bred cows. The Webster county

bred cows, but in 1920 there were no

SUCCESS WITH YOUNG STOCK
Part Of Constructive Benefits Lost by
Failure to Properly Develop
Animals. +. 2

To breed good dairy cattle and then
fail to grow and develop them is to
lose part of the benefits of construc-
tive breeding. More beginners fail
because they do not properly feed the
stock they buy o. breed, than fail
from any other cause. Find the farm
ers who grow out their young stock,
and you will find men who are max
ing a success In their animal hus-
bandry enterprises.

lower floor and hay NOW. Fresh air
intakes located at the proper intervals
about the lower barn floor furnish a
continual supply of fresh air, while
foul air fues carry off the impure air
which is SO dangerous in buildings
where animals are housed. While
barns are built more for utility than
appearance it is wise to make them
appear somewhat attractive. This
building is an excellent addition to
any farm.
Modern barn construction lays par
ticular emphasis upon interior arrange
ment. and labor-saving equipment.
These two points should be kept fore
most In mind when designing the
buildings. Upon them depends the ef-
fciency Of production and the satisfac-
ton of help. That is why carrier
tracks for litter and feed carriers have
been installed In feed and litter al
leys. The track running through the
feed alley uns to the grain spouts
at one end Of the building. The car
riers are filed from these spouts
which tap the grain bins on the floor
above. The litter track connects each
hitter alley with the pit on the
outside Of the barn. These carriers
have helped to lift a very heavy bur-
den from the shoulders Of the farm
help and the farmers boys who take
an active interest. 1t is less liable that
they will seek the alluring positions
