THE N. Z. GRAVES FARM Magazine Writer Describes a Modern Farm Representing the last Word on the Farming Industry

The Technical , World Magazine has , the following interesting article in its May issue on the N. Z. Graves' i Model Farm at Cold Spring: T . ■ ' A "model farm" built at the cost of 1 1 several millions of dollars and main- 1 • tained exclusively for the betterment 1 of the Dairy and Farm conditions in ; j this country, is the pleasing, yet un- , ' I usual, work that is engrossing the at- ' ; J tention of Nelson Z. Graves, a PhiladelI phian, who has amassed a great fortune in the paint and varnish business. This remarkable undertaking has required the use of an immeuse farm of ; : 1,300 acres at the famous seashore re- , sort at Cape May at the southern point ; of New Jersey. : Mr. Graves' undertaking, which has | reached a point of development , that makes it no longer an experi- j J meat but a decided success, is designed 1 show what can _ be accomplished | i with the dairy and farm by ,the em- 1 [ ployment of the finest kind of 6tock, • i the use of the most sanitary .and up- : 1 I ti-date appliances, the proper care, I ! and, above all, rigorous attention and ' ■ absolute cleanliness. , ! j If Roosevelt, .himself, or the com- • j ! misson of noted^inen which he recently j ] appointed to investigate and suggest | I of .improving the conditions in ] J and dairy work could pay a ! ( { visit to Cape May they would have no > 1 j need of further travel. Tney would ' > ! find what the hundreds of visitors from j | all parts.of the country to this model 1 f j farm weekly pronounce "Farming f I Ideal." They would see stretched out ' 1 tneir eyes acre upon acre, run- , ' ning into the hundreds, as far as ' ° vision reached, soft green ^pasture, 1 waving corn fields, groups of massive, :

s handsomely appointed buildings, score8 1 i of live stock and thousands ot chickens, ' the note of cleanliness predominating — a Model Farm, f So all these broad acres, this great - j work of .impiovement that is now got ing on, and which bears kthe fitting I naroe;of the 'Farmstead by the .Sea," - lias for its aim and object the . practi- - 1 cal application of one principle — the - uplifting .of farm conditions, the dei velopment of dairy and poultry pro- . ductions and the improvement of the ■ breed ofjatock. I I It is .doubtful if there is anywhere - in the United States a -farm of such t great proportions devoted to .such a work — a farm and dairy whose sole i end and.aim is not financial gain, but l rather gain for mankind. When the ■ | Farmstead was .first opened, and in I ; fact, daily since that time, farmers I came to the .Farmstead, attracted, by . the. glittering reports.. they had re- ' ceived. None was too bumble.to re- . ' ceive a welcome. Certain of tbe.ati tendants were detailed as guides and the Visiting farmers were shown over the entire plant. Naturally little ex- ' planation was necesaarj^for the basic j principle was tboroughlyTinderstood them all. ^However every new ap- | pliance and every new method (that ' tended to elevate .the business and made for cleanliness and sanitary de" velopment were thoroughly gone over. The result was that wben these returned to their own farms, with the. wonders they had seen, ■ they immediately began, to the best of their ability, to imitate and even to j originate. That South Jersey owes a . debt of gratitude to Mr. Graves' Continued on 5th Page
