E. ALLEN MOORE. | tie can be, by use of feed and fodder, which many farmers contend cannot be raised in New England. They will find cattle, which are washed twice a day, milked by men in white uniforms and kept in barns and stables where a solitary microbe would starve to! death looking for a square meal. They will find floors as, clean as cement and tile floors can be; in a barn where workmen must wash before entering; they will find themselves visitors on a farm which overlooks scenery so beautiful that words are impossible to describe 1t; and they will find themselves guests of their state presi- dent who is noted as prince of good fellows-E. Allen Moore, president of the Stanley Works.
 Real Treat in Store.
 N A real treat is in store for the visitors fortunate enough to be in- vited to pay a visit to Moorland farm. It Is not case where cattle are only cattle. at this farm. 1t is bigger question than sim ply breeding cattel it is demonstration of the oft debat- ed theory that a successful manufac- turer can operate farm on the same system of business efficiency he runs his factory and make it pay. Moth ing that is not absolutely modern Is used. Farm and dairy machinery | wherever possible is operated by elec- | tricity
 Experts in Charge.
 l When the visitors arrive tomorrow xr11 Ha %al <o ho for o< Kensington where they will be intro- duced to c. R. weidman, farm super lintendent and A. F. Tucker chief herdsman. They will see nothing particularly striking from the road way as they drive in. When they Ienter the barn. they will find them selves, not in the ordinary stable or Icattle barn, but in a spacious room, with. tile flooring and white walls. Porcelain wash stands are the only furniture in this room and workmen never are permitted to go beyond this room, if thy expect to handle milk, without first thoroughly washing.
 Through an inner door one enters large light and airy place. which serves as quarters for the older cattle. Here the floor is cement and each animal is in its particular place, held there by steel stanchions which swing on well oiled pivots. Each stanchion Is kept painted to keep it free from rust and glistens like new. Floors kept thoroughly clean. and small overhead mono-rail trolley, similar to a factory ash dump carriers all litter outside. Each animal is kept closly clipped. washed twice every day and has a beautiful skin of glistenine fawn and white which is a pleasure to look at. Nothing is seen on the floor hut bedding of clean shavings which act as absorbent as we'll as disinfectant, where each animal stands. Running water Is supplied by means of pipes with wheel valve at each stanchion. Long concrete feeding troughs are filled with feed the backbone of which Is alfalfa which many farmers claim cannot be raised successfully in the east The barn is lighted by electricity.
 Barn Kept Clean.
 , So clean Is this barn kept that men while milking are required to wear white uniforms which are practically spotless. Milk pails are shined and secured every day until they glisten : like silver. In this section of the barn are found 30 head of registered and pedigreed stock. Besides the 30 head of mature cows there are four calves ranging from 10 days to six weeks in age.
 In this barn also will be found Pearl of the Hildsheim." Pearl is e the mother and grandmother of the = herd. She is the very foundation ,f l the Moorland farm herd. Thirteen [ calves in IA years Is the enviable n record of this cow and she still Is :. breeding.
