Diogenes had in try- 
ing to find an honest man! 
Also, it is hard to find a real 
public benefactor, a person 
who is really doing his mite 
to make some measure of pro- 
gress 1n science or otherwise 
for his fellow man. Some people would not 
know a comedy or a tragedy apart if both 
were seen walking down the street with a 
label attached. In lke manner many peopie 
do not have the ability to distinguish philan- 
thropy from commercialism. All of which, 
asks the reader, has what tangible connection 
with a sanitary milk farm and dairy. 
It has this connection: Over among the rolling 
hills of Ipswich, which has long been the Mecca for 
many of the summer tourists to the North Shore there 
is a model milk farm operated and financed by a North 
Shore man who aims not so much to reap large finan- 
cial gains from the ven- 
Outside View of the Barn at Upland Farms, showing its 
neat and spotless character pad : 
sleek, rugged and of general healthy appearance. ‘“The 
Gentleman Himself,’’ also photographed here, is as 
fine a specimen as will be found in these parts. 
What Mr. Frazier and his son are really doing for 
the cause of pure milk can be noted from the equip- 
ment of the plant situated in the heart of a 200-acre

Frank P. Frazier and 
his son, Frank D., who 
summer at West Man- 
chester, ‘have devoted 
much of their energy 
during the past two 
years to developing a 
sanitary milk farm that 
will be the last word in

seys is the barometer of 
the cleanliness of the 
milk of that particular 
farm. One glance at the 
interior of the main barn 
and that adjoining in 
which are kept the ad- 
vanced registered stock 
manifests itself to be 
the best possible equip-

Farms they have accumulated a prize stock of regis- 
tered Guernsey cows. The majestic head of the bovine 
at the beginning of this article is that of Hanbury’s 
Wickham Lady, a cow which won first prize in England 
and is a thoroughbred. The picture of Flora shows 
the type of Guernsey cow found on the Upland Farms—

The Clean and Airy Home of the Guernseys at Upland Farms 
ment known to science 
is used in the attempt to produce pure milk. The King 
system of ventilating serves to keep fresh air constantly 
in circulation throughout every part of the barn. By 
the system of feeding, the fodder which the cows eat 
when in the barn cannot be strewn upon the floor as 
the feeder is automatic, releasing only enough food for 
the cow to eat properly without waste. The 
food is carried through the barn on an over- 
head run-way. <A run-way also carries the 
manure from the main cow barn to a separate 
building 100 feet away, thus adding to the 
cleanliness of the place. 
To illustrate the extreme to which the man- 
agement goes to keep the prize herd clean it 
might be mentioned that vacuum “baths” are 
given the cows; all superfluous hair is also 
clipped with electric machines that it may 
not get into the milk pails. The pails used 
are all equipped with small tops that falling 
dirt may not get into the milk. 
That the business of milk producing is 
done on a scientific basis is shown by the fact 
that the capacity of each cow under varying 
conditions is known to a fraction. 
On the exterior of the barn there is not 
the usual barn yard and there is no oppor- 
tunity for the cows to obtain a coating of 
dirt to get into the milk pails. Inside, the
