Mary McSwinney To Tour Ohio r Cleveland, June 24—Mary MacSwiney, the school teacher sister of *he late Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, is about to make a speaking tour of Ohio cities. Beginning with Lima, where she will address afternoon and evening meetings Friday, June 24th, mass meetings are being arranged for her in the following ten additional cities: Defiance, June-25th; Sandusky, June 26th; Chillicothe, June 27th; Portsmouth, June 28th; Springfield, June 29th; Dayton, June 30th; Bellaire, July 1st; Canton, July 2d; Akron, July 3ct; and Youngstown, July 4th. The meetings in all cases will be under the auspices of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic. Since Miss MacSwiney spoke in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati in January, shortly after her arrival in this country, she has delivered her plea for the recognition of the Irish republic in practically every Jarge city in the country. She addressed fully a score of state legislatures, as she did when in Columbus, and practically all of them have adopted resolutions looking toward official United States recognition. Miss MacSwiney was elected a member of Dail Eirann, the Republican parliament in Ireland, at the recent elections. Since she came to this country, which was immediately after the death of Terence MacSwirtay from his self-imposed fast in Brixton Prison, London, both her sister and her younger brother in Ireland have been arrested by the British. The latter, sentenced to 15 years servitude in Spike Island, a penal colony in the harbor of Cork, has since escaped. The former, who was left in charge of St. Ita’s High School for Girls in Cork, of which Mary MacSwiney is the preceptress, is still in jail. The school has been closed by the military.

VENTILATION IS IMPORTANT

Design Provides Accommodations for Twslve Cows and Six Horses—Weli Built and Protected Against the Elements. By W. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answe* Question* and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience.as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, th* highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Whenever you see a good looking herd of healthy cows, you can immediately conclude that they are well fed and housed. Unless a cow is protected by a modern, substantial home, she Is not likely to be a heavy producer. There are several essential features in the construction of a dairy baru that will aid in increasing production and the barn shown here contains many of those features. In the first place it should be firmly built and projected against the elements of wind, lightning, etc. If you will notice, this barn has been equipped with lightning rods. Every year the loll exacted by this single element amounts to $8,000,000. And the heaviest loss is found among farm buildings. In a reccmR report the Uinted States deoart-

' altey. Litter alleys have been btfilt at the ends of the stalls. All of these alleys have been fitted with overhead carriers, systems which relieve this type of work. Farmers who have equipped their barns with these laborsaving systems have found they do not have much trouble keeping their help. The old system of hauling litter away in wheelbarrows was a backbreaking proposition at the best, and did much toward discouraging the help, not to mention making the farmer boys dissatisfied and anxious to go to the city. All of the stalls are of the modem type, being equipped with the latest kind of stanchions and dunking cups. Plenty of good fresh water will help increase the milk flow. The drinking ettp also does away with the old system of leading the cows to a trough, a task which was not very attractive in the cold winter season. At the other end of this barn are located the six horse stalls with a feed alley running along one end. Two grain bins at the far comer provide storage facilities from whence a supply can be drawn for the daily rations. At the end of the feeding alley running between the cow stalls is a feed room where the feed can be ground and loaded onto the carriers for distribution among the various stalls. The silo is next to this feed room. It is built of wooden 1 staves, a type that is very popular in some sections of the .country. The staves are interlocked so as to form a continuous w r all. The lightning rod at the top is designed to protect it from fire. A short distance from the silo is a small milk house equipped w ith ,a cooler where the milk can be kept in good condition until it is hauled to the factory. This building is a very convenient asset to the farm building group. A large hay mow above provides plenty of space in the barn for feed storage. For the farmer who has

ment of agriculture stated that 95 per cent of this loss can be averted by fhe use of efficient lightning tod systems. Another important feature of barn construction, and one that has been taken care of in this building, is venI tilatioiv. The health of the animals i housed in a barn of this kind.depends primarily on the supply and. kind of air they have to breathe. Unless the barn has been built so as to provide a maximum of fresh air the effect will be noticed in the animals’ output, j This barn has been fitted with the I most modern ventilating system, and all the foul air is drawn off through foul air flues which lead from all parts of the barn. This barn is a good type, built for i farmers who do not have a large herd. 1 It Is of plank construction, 34 by 36 feet, and will accommodate 12 cows and six horses. The cow stalls have j been placed at one end of the barn, j two rows of six facing in on a feed

aboutften to a dozen ’cows and a f.ew horses this’ type of barn U very admirably suited; and should prove to be an efficient unit in his plant. He dp.es not have any waste space, but lias all the modern conveniences of the large ultra-modern dairy farm. Constructed- of the best material in the first place, it &ilf prove an economy as far as mainfenance goes, and an actual money saver because of its effective help in keeping up the morale of the help and health of the anipials. The most important building to rhe farmer is the dairy barn because in it be houses his all-year source of income. Unless fie fives it: his careful attention he is liable to pay heavily for his neglect. It is better to build well then suffer later even though the expense mav be somewhat greater/ The initial cost is not the Important factor. It Is the upkeep and a good substantial barn of this type does sot require as much expense .as a poorly constructed building.

FRIDAY JUNE 2J, Hi!.

HELP BOOST POST-DEMOCRAT SUBSCRIPTION

We have a suggestion to make to the live democrats of Muncie and Delaware county which, if carried out with the right kind of enthusiasm and concerted effort, will add thousands of names to the Post-Democrat’s subscription list. Our plan is for those democrats who can afford it, to order and pay for a certain number of subscriptions to this paper, to be sent to individuals who would be benefitted by the wholesome truths published weekly in its columns. There are thousands of men out of work in Muncie at the present time. These men are having a hard time of it finding money to buy the necessities of life, consequently it is impossible for many of them to take the paper at this time. Later, when the factories resume work, these men will not find it a hardship to pay the two dollars subscription price. The publisher is making a special club rate of $1.50 a year for five or more yearly subscriptions paid in advance. At the top of the editorial column appears a blank club subscription form. If you have interest enough in a worthy cause to do your bit toward enlarging the Post-Democrat’s sphere of influence, fill out the blank and enclose a check covering the amount required to pay for the number of subscriptions ordered, and mail to the Muncie Post-Democrat. We will pledge you that every dollar sent in will be used in adding to our subscription list. Do you remember how you cussed during the last campaign because there was no democratic newspaper here to refute the flood of republican misrepresentations? Now is the time for you to do your part toward the establishment of a newspaper that will tell the truth to the people of Muncie and Delaware county. Without the undivided support of Delaware county democracy, no democrat newspaper can exist in Muncie. Without a strong newspaper democracy here has no chance to win in the coming city election or any other election in the future. It will not cost you much to stand sponsor for the sending of the Post-Democrat to five, ten or twenty persons for one year. The republican line is already wavering in Muncie. The PostDemocrat has a campaign mapped out that will command the attention of republicans as well as democrats. Do your part. Mail it in today.
