Of the COW stall are calf and bun pens,
also fitted with modern barn fxtures
Between these pens and row Of
four stock pens Is a cross aisle also
provided with carrier system. These
stock pens have removable partitions
which allow the farmer to increase
the size at will. Immediately to the
rear Of these pens are large double
sliding doors.
The rear aisle OF the barn leads
into the adjoining shed which covers
the manure pit. The carrier track
leads TO the pit. This shed is "a feet
long and 16 feet wide.
Another Of the important features
of this building is the yentilating sys-
TEN. This consists Of foul-air fiues,
the barn to draw off the foul air. Mod
ern ventilators on the roof provide a
continual source OF fresh air which
Is essential for healthy animals and
profitable production. Lightning rods
placed at intervals along the roof pro-
tect the barn against the fire menace.
Fortified with dairy barn OF this
type, farmer can consider himself
very fortunate. II viii be an invalu-
able asset because II accomplishes
two important results, increased milk
production and increased satisfaction
among the hired help, which obviously
Increases their efficiency.

BEGIN WITH POPULAR BREED
Not Wise for Beginner to Experiment
With So-caIled New or Untried
Kind of Fowls.

Unless imbued with the true fam
cier spirit, beginners in poultry Gull
ture had better not enter their novi-
ate with so-called new" or non-pop-
ular breed. AS a general rule sales
of stock in this class are always lin
tied, hence to build up trade is at
best slow process. There will also
be lacking a fellowship between neigh
bors breeding the kind of poultry, as
there will be less interest manifested.
Better begin with a popular breed for
which there Is an established demand
and one that possesses commercial
Importance, either for eggs or meat,
or both.

NOW above.
One Of the attractive features Of
this barn is the splendid silo supple
ment provided In the form Of two
large vitrified tile silos. They are IA
feet In diameter and connected with
the feed room. This feed room is
splendidly arranged for the storage OF
feed and conveniently close to the
stalls so that extra work and hauling
are eliminated. Bins for grain have
been built In the upper part Of the
feed room.
Leading from this feed room is the
main central feed alley, on either side
of which are the COW stalls, ten on
each side. They are equipped with
the most modern, sanitary and hui
name stall partitions, stanchions,
hangers and drinking cups. Every
convenience that will help to Increase
the productivity Of the COW has been
Installed. Some will argue this is ire
mendously expensive. When the ul-
innate return is considered, this equip
ment turns out to be the most eco
nomical.
A feed carrier track Is located over
this feed alley and enables the hired
man to haul the grain via carriers to
each stall with great speed and ease.
Similarly, in back Of each stall over
the litter alleys, are litter carrier
tracks to carry the manure to the ad-

There are approximately 10000
automobiles in the United States ana
there are almost that many farmers
In this year, when the most eXpen'
sive crop ever raised by the American
farmer seems likely TO pile up on his
hands for lack Of n profitable market,
way is suggested to reduce surplus
by attracting automobile trade direct
TO the forms.
Most, city automobile owners drive
into the country once Il week or more,
and every farm located on an automo-
bile road has dozens or hundreds of
possible customers for its fruits, vege-
tables, poultry and eggs passing its
gate every day. The war made the
market basket popular and the ordi-
nary automobile owner who keeps
house would be perfectly willing 10
take home a bushcl or more of pro-
duce if by so doing he could lessen his
living expenses.
Stands Along Many Roadways.
Roadside stands for the sale of
fruits and vegetables are seen along
many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been de-
veloped to the full measure of success.
One Of the principal difficulties is that
the autoiSt does not see the stand un-
til he is abreast Of it, after which he
must make up his mind and check
his machine. Then, In nine cases out
Of ten, he concludes that there will be
another stand farther along and that
II is not worth while tO turn around
and go back One farmer i'm Pennsyl-
vania solved this difficulty by placing
a series Of signs along the entire half
mile front of his farm. 1Sese greeted
the mOtorist.
"Fresh Fruit one-Fourth Mile"
Sweet Cider 60 Rods"
"Fresh Comb Honey so Rods"
"Fresh Vegetables 40 Rods"
"Fresh Eggs 20 Rods"
The motorists eye thus was at
tracted and he had time to make up
his mind, and in large number of
instances stopped and made pur-
chase. The signs were inexpensive
and yielded large profit.
There are many motorists who trav-

The farmer learns TO recognize them
Children especially nowadays learn to
know makes of automobiles mt sight
and can pick out those which IRE
ouentiy pass. One effective way OF
catching the motor trade Is to note the
license numbers, look them up at the
city hall or police station on some trip
to town, and then drop them postal
cards calling attention to the advan-
tage of carrying home bushel of
this and that product on their next
trip. This form of appeal is more
effective If the farm has distinctive
name, as constantly increasing num-
Der of farms have. One thing essen
tial to building up even a transient
trade in farm products is that the
prices shall be reasonable, preferably
a shade below city market prices,
and that the goods shall be of honest
quality. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed on the latter feature. There
is, of course. temptation to reason
that the same customer will not come
back again, hut this is likely not 10

broad freemasonry among motorists,
and the word quickly spreads that one
of the number has been cheated,

Fair Dealing Pays Best.
The farmer has to market his prod
uce somewhere. If he takes IL to
the city, it will he carefully inspected
for quality and the price will be regu-
lated by supply and demand. If he
will place his product in such posi-
ton as to attract and arrest the pass
ing motorist and then make the price
and quality such that the motorist
wants to come that way again or tells
his friends to stop, he is on his way
to business that may be made sea-
son long and highly profitable. II
the farmer keeps on hand supply OF
suitable bags or packages In which to
handle his products 1t will mean many
sale which otherwise would be lost
because the autoist would often not
be prepared to handle the things he
would like to buy. This idea is capa-
bic of adaptations that will suggest
themselves.

One of the functions Of the county
agent under the cooperative extension

wise new channels for marketing stock
