PETTIS

REID'S GI6 FARM

fJOTED FOR UODERfJ IDEAS EMPLOYED III OPEBJTIOtl

"' An Indianapolis newspaper prints

the . 'followinz about Pettis A." Raid's

farm, ' ' ; 'i -An Indiana farm that has kept step -with. the march of progress Is the 400"acre farm of P. A. Reld, ten and a

half mfloa ontifh an fit rf ' THnhfnnTifi

I Electricity plays., an. . Important part

' driving the machines and equipment of recent invention. - Mr. Reid. though a prosperous Rlchc mtmd manufacturer, loves farm life ana makes it a source of recreation. 'His farm superintendent is his son

-in-law, W. B. " Simmons. The farm was previously owned by James Kelly, . the father-in-la-w of Mr. Reid. Mr. ?.- Kelly had lived on this farm for eighty years, until he died, twenty-odd years - ago. He was known as the most urozressive farmer in Preble Countr.

t : Ohio, being the first to take up new ! cpnvenlences. Mr. Kelly bought the firs.t binder In that district. When Mr. Kelly died the farm was rented out by the heirs until about . ,;ftve years ago, when Mr. Reid bought - It. At that time there was the old -. brick home of the Kellys, a barn and , a; corncrlb. -The old house was remodeled and an addition built. It is now an ideal home with many modern conveniences, Including a billiard and poolroom. ' Modern Horse Barn. ' The barn was moved around and enlarged, and' is now known as the 'I horse barn. This is 30x200 feet, with .y concrete floors and boarded horse ."'stalls. This " barn accommodates :' twenty head of horses, including a number of Imported Belgians and ' Percberons. Each stall is equipped with an automatic .hay feed rack, which Is loaded by hand and pushed up In place in the same, manner as a

folding bed. -The horse then can pull ouf the hay as needed without waste. There is a hay mow above. The building is lighted with electricity. Numerous hydra'uts provide a water supply for the horses and for scrubbing.

Thee are twenty-two hydrants, all

told. In the farm buildings. A litter

carrier runs overhead down the cen

ter of the barn.

Running parallel to this barn, across a wide court, is the cow barn, which

is 40 feet wide, 225 feet long and 44

feet high. In this barn, extending over the entire, upper floor, is a hay mow which has a capacity of 500 tons.

; There Is not a post in It, the roof be

Ine supported by heavy timbered

. arches. There are 100,000 feet of lum

ber in this structure. -.An electrically

-driven hay fork delivers the hay to

any Doint alone the center of the en

tjre length of the mow. The hay fork Is operated by an electric motor in one corner of the, building. This is a

tabor and tive-saving device, and therefore economical, since electricity is used elsewhere. Cow Barn Is White Enameled. - The cow bajrn accommodates 100 imported, and registered Jersey cattle. " The floor is of concrete. Stancheons

and Von niping form the stalls. The

" entire inside Is white enameled. Rows

of windows ' line either side, giving good ventilation and light. A center

pathway runs between two rows of fifty stalls each,' with a feedroom at - the extreme end, from which the feed

is; pushed on roller trucks to any point desired. ; Row's of electric light bulbs hang on

cord down the passageways on either side. Each row of stalls is provided

with -piping for the acuum system

used in mechanical milking apparatus. VB. L. K." milkers are used. These are placed between the cows and two are . jmllked with one machine. Two milking machines are used and overseen

fby one man.

The litter is dropped into a tunnel

nnderneath the floor. There is a spreader beneath which, when loaded is 'taken to the field and automatically

emptied. Care-Taken In the Mllkhouse.

, A mllkhouse stands in front of the iteow barn, a wide driveway interven-

lnc. Here Is a ninety-foot well, or

rather spring, which flows eight gal

lons a -minute. Two large tanks 'holding 7,000 gallons are filled by this

.flowing well, the needed pressure be-

W maae oy pumping air inio . me - tanks by means of a compressor, i There is a boiler in - the mllkhouse which is used for heating the water for sterilizing all milking equipment, ' etc., and providing hot water for washing .-The milk passes through a separator, which separates the milk and cream. The cream is sold and the milk is fed to 250 head of full-blooded-Duroo hogs. Milking Is done twice daily. , A large paved court 225 feet long and eighty feet wide extends between the cqw and horse barns, at the rear of which . is the wagon bam, eighty-five feet long, sixty-five feet wide and eighteen feet high. In this barn, along the entire side next to the court.

is a rat-proof corn crib, eight feet

wife. The crib is covered with a quarter-inch mesh wire. To .'one side of the center of the 1 court 'stand- two large hellow clay tile silos, 40x18 feet, which hold 420 tons of ensilage. Fifty acres of corn are .required to fill the silos, and it takes forty men five and one-half days; to do the work.

WOMEN BUY GIFTS AT CIGAR STANDS

Cigars stores are doing a rushing Christmas business these days . and maiyr of their customers are women. They are not buying bargain counter grades either but the best. Fancy pipes and,cirgar and cigarette holders are aJso in demand. The rush for smoker's articles for Christmas pres- ' ents is greater than usual. ! The women always enter. the cigar 5 stores timidly seemingly being afraid that some one will, see them and mlsconstrue their reasons for going there. 'One woman told a dealer that she had passed his place seven times before she "had courage enough to enter. .

In the front of the court between two large gates, is-the power house, In which are the power plant and grinding room. A coal oil engine and motor, generates the .electricity for grinding, lighting and power for bay carrier and fork, the mechanical milking system, the milk separator and the air compressor. t;s cr..r ,

TURKEY SUGGESTED AS ACCEPTABLE GIFT

STANDARD. SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS HEEDED; ASSERTS REDFIELD

WASHINGTON, DecT JO.-r-tTtie eed of a standard system of weight and measures is -emphasized in a ex

tract of the the annual report o , the secretary of commerce, made public

today. : - j . .. , i

"Without a systematic Inspection of

the service throughout the country'

the honest dealer is at a dlaaSvan

tage," says the report. "Also, the con

sumer is helpless." The railroad track scale tester has been a busy machine. Three buadred and thirty-eight scales in Minnesota. Wisconsin, Indiana," towa," MlaJfcrtlrT, West Virginia, North and SouthCarolina, Georgia and Alabama have been examined. "Manufacturers are coming more and more to understand the value of applied science to them," says the report. v

Dressed Turkeys and chickens would make excellent presents for farmers to send their city relatives and friends, suggests Postmaster Beck. Farmers have already taken advantage of the suggestion and every day, several packages of "perishable" goods are transferred by the parcel post carrier to the homes of city folks. "The movement should be encouraged,' said Postmaster Beck. "Turkeys and chickens would not only make an acceptable Christmas gift but it would also be so handy for the farmer. All

he has to do is wrap the fowl in a piece of paper, put a few stamps on it, hand it to the mail man and Uncle Sam does the rest.". ... ... The receiving clerk at the post office states that an increasing number of these packages are received, each ,

day as Christmas approaches

complaint was filed on the present

docket, there have been 7,060 cases filed. v
