Cobb says : After carefully looking over the catalogue which you are going to give to farmers and prospective builders, I wish to compliment you on the wealth of material and information which you have gathered together. I was especially interested in the articles and information pertaining to agricultural subjects and was agreeably surprised at the high class of same. The articles on the management of live stock and the growing of crops I consider reliable and certainly useful to any farmer. Building plans included in the catalogue are good to the best of my knowledge and should be a help to any man who plans to build. I wish to thank you for allowing me to look over the catalogue and shall consider it a valuable addition to my library of farm publications. Signed: A. D. Cobb. Mr. Harry J. Smith, R. R. No. 10, Centerville, Ind., says: I am in receipt of your Farm and Building Book and find it the most complete book of its kind that I have ever seen. It is filled with valuable information for the farmer and those who are contemplating remodeling or building new buildings on the farm would do well to obtain a copy of this work. The designs are attractive and the floor plans show them to be convenient and modern. I also find valuable and practical matter in that part pertaining to farming and stock raising, which is something we farmers must study and practice if we can compete with our successful neighbor who has availed himself of these opportunities. Thanking you for a copy of this book. I am Yours truly Signed : Harry J. Smith. Mr. O. E. Fudghum says : I have been looking through your Farm and Building Book and find many valuable suggestions for farm building, etc. The farmer of today is beginning to realize that he has just as

good right to live in as good home with all the conveniences as his city brothers. He is also looking after the comfort of his live stock. Any farmer wishing to build certainly can find plans suitable for his needs in this book. Signed: O. E. Fulghum. Mr. Walter Ratliff says : The Farm and Building Book which you are issuing is unique and complete in every particular and undoubtedly will meet requirements of our farming class, and I must say that it will surely be useful and a great benefit to all. Signed: Walter Ratliff. Mr. Jake Hanes of the Union National Bank said : The Farm & Building Book which you are getting out is certainly a dandy, and is something every farmer needs. Mr. Stephen Kuth of the State Line Kuth Farm writes us and says : I am very much interested in your Farm & Building Book and am sure the farmers will appreciate your effort to furnish up-to-date designs, sanitary and practical and general information contained in the Farm & Building Book will furnish better sanitary environments. First Better Buildings. Second Kept in sanitary condition. Third Well balanced rations. Fourth Feed more carefully. Usual, general barn yard conditions used as sleeping and feeding places for hogs and is the cause of hog cholera outbreaks, and under these conditions a farmer loses. Farm & Building Book will solve the problem. Thanks to The Miller-Kemper Company. Signed: J. S. Kuth. A school teacher asked us if we would kindly send him a dozen books for his class, which we did and in reply he writes: The Farm & Building Books recently sent me by parcels post arrived in a splendid condition and are proving very interesting to the eleven boys in my class. The first recitation after their distribution brought fortK several references to something it contained. Really I do not see how you could offer them without charge and expect to use them a great deal in our study of farm building. They are as good for our purpose as books selling for prices out of our reach. These books certainly appeal to the farmers and we cordially invite you to call at our office and get a copy and remember us when you are in the market for anything in our line whatever.
