y Each age expresses itself in
art. literature, music and archi-
lecture, among other forms Of
creative inspiration.
Scholars characterize and give
names to specific periods, and
then back up their terms by IL
Iustrations. To persons even
slightly familiar with history the
words medieval" "Elizabethan.
romantic" and "mid-Victorian"
evoke images and a way of life
particularly and peculiarly asso-
ciated with certain centuries.
The term most used in con-
nection with our own era is
amodern" We use it to denote
the music, literature. furniture,
dress and architecture expressing
this periods "zeitgeist" or way
Of life.
But the prevailing mode does
not always find full acceptance.
There are dissenters, and fire.
quently in limited areas they
comprise a large as well as vocal
number.
One field where some voices
are being raised against the cur
rent trend is church architec-
ture. There are those who OBJ
ject to the modern" influence in
building churches. They are as
vigorous in their opposition to
the new look in this field as
others are in their support.
One of the outspoken OBJ
iectors to modern church archi-
lecture is Martin McGrory,
ebullient secretary Of the Lu-
theran Layman's Fellowship.
Mr.. McGrory, retired Marine.
calls upon Lutherans to protest
"the modern church structures
being erected. Their fronts
look like glorified parking lot
entrances as well as super super
markets. Of course they will
have real resale value, because
all that has to be done is put a
front door in and you have a
theater or a garage"
What appeal has this modern
church structure to the re-
ligious spirit of the people?"
Mr.. McGory asks. "If the church
is to be modern, then let us all
go to the movies. Let us keep
our 'churchly' churches"
There is, Of course, much to
be said on the other side. Ad-
vocates Of modern church archi-
lecture believe the church should
express its period as we'll as other
buildings. What do you think?
Rector Is HOnOred.
A well-deserved tribute was
paid to the Rev. w. Robert
Miller last Sunday by parish
tnners of Ascension Episcopal
Church, Silver Spring, Md.
:, :. A citation expressing the sem
timents Of the parish's 900 COM
municants was presented to the
rector by Col. Philip C. Sterling.
It read:
CAS- the result of the inspiring
leadership and devoted service
Of our rector, w. Robert Miller,
and because of the increased
membership and financial sup
port during his ministry at our
church, we wish to present him
this, token of our deep personal
affection and gratitude. It is our
earnest desire that he will honor
us by continuing his leadership
and guidance in the many years
to come"
Since the clergyman came to
the parish seven years ago, the
membership has nearly tripled,
financial support has grown in
about the same proportion and
new rectory and parish hall
has been built.

Since potatoes are relatively
low in dry matter and protein,
and lacking in vitamins A and d
some good quality legume hay or
grass silage needs to be fed with
them. If a heavy allowonce of
potatoes is fed, include in the con-
centrate mixture a slightly higher
content of crude protein.
Limit the amounts of potatoes
fed to dairy cows to 1928 lbs.
daily, depending upon the size of
the animal. Vapaa cautions not
to feed unripe, decayed, or frozen
potatoes (they contain solanin
which may be toxic), nor sprouted
potatoes unless the sprouts are
removed.
Introduce potatoes into the ra-
ton gradually to avoid digestive
disturbances. If securing occurs
reduce the quantity of potatoes
and later gradually build It up
again. Since all potatoes used for
feed must be chopped or sliced

Cows Prefer
SO Degrees,
Increase Milk

Dairy cows can more than pay
the cost of good housing. Hol-
stems that produce more than
5000 pounds of milk a year or
Guernseys that make more than
$500 pounds, will show a larger
profit if housed in buildings
maintained at As to so degrees,
according to tests made at the
University of Missouri.
At so degrees, experimental
Holsteins produced an average of
1890 pounds of milk daily, but
dropped to 48.75 pounds at go de-
grees. The difference of LOS
pounds per cow per day may seem
unimportant, but in 20-cow herd
it can mean a difference of 1896
for a 300-day lactation period
when shipping Grade A milk. At
70-degree housing, the loss would
amount to about 1895.
Maintaining dairy barn at As
to so degrees during the lactation
period of most cows is not par
ticularly difficult in Northern and
Western dairy areas. A properly
insulated and ventilated barn is
the first requirement. Second, the
breeding cycle can be adjusted so
most cows are dry during the
hottest summer months.
To maintain a productive cli-
mate in the barn, walls and cell
ings need to be adequately insu-
lated with the vapor barrier in
stalled as shown in the drawing.
The drawing also shows the thick
ness of mineral wool insulation
needed in barn walls and ceilings
where average winter tempera-
lures are between 20 and 80 de-
grees. Average winter tempera-
ture between 10 and 20 degrees
requires three inches of sidewall
insulation, with doors and win
dows of insulated glass or with
storm sash. A roof of durable as
phalt shingles provides weather
and fire protection for the build
ing and its contents.
When temperatures drop, the
fans in the ventilating system
should Immediately restrict air
flow through the barn, and they
should increase air flow as out
door temperatures rise.

Ventilate Barns
For Cows Health

Don't shut off needed ventila-
ton in your dairy barn this win
ter by trying too hard to keep out
the cold and wind" cautions
County Agent George Vapaa.
He points out that the health
and production of cows are "more
important than your own person.
al comfort" Actually, cows stand
cold weather very well, and It is
much more important that they
be dry than warm.
Ventilation is the only way to
cut down excess dairy barn mois-
ture in cold weather. Signs of
poor ventilation are moisture col
lecting on thte walls, ceilings and
metal fixtures in the barn and
heavy frost on the windows and
stale, damp air.
Another symptom of poor vent
ilation shows up, Vapaa says,
when the cows start coughing. eff
this keeps up" he adds, "you are
risking the danger of pneumonia
or some other respiratory trouble
in your cows and resulting loss of
production"
Electric ventilating fans are
much more satisfactory than the
old-style open windows and doors
or the gravity fiue-type ventilat-
ors. To work, fiue-type ventila-
tion systems depend on outside
air movement, and many times

Potatoes Suitable
For Dairy Cattle

The potato diversion program
may help dairymen solve a feed
problem, particularly in areas
where roughage is short from
drought conditions and in the maj.
or potato gowing counties, points
out County Agent George vapaa.
Potatoes, he explains, have total
digestible nutrient content about
equal to that of corn silage and
one-third that of good quality
hay.

be minimized. Chopping or slicing
potatoes increases their palatabil-
ity.
Per 100 pounds potatoes are
worth % per cent the price of
grain mixture, on a TD.N. basis.
Potatoes are an economical buy
at so cents per hundred pounds
when good quality hay is selling
for $50 per ton.
Potato silage may be made by
running combination of 80 per
cent potatoes and 20 per cent hay
or dry corn fodder through the
silage cutter. The addition of 40
pounds of ground grain per ton
may improve the silage. This
about equals good quality corn or
