DEMANDED 80 Cents DUSHEL
HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO
STORE PRODUCTS UNTIL
MARKET IL RIGHT.
He MADE MONEY IN wheat
Held Wheat Crop for Seven Years
and Cleaned up Neat Little
Profit.

After getting his corn crop cribbed
four years ago, c. G. Smith of Cedar
Point, kan. declared he would not
sell "A bushel until the price went up
| TO so cents. lie kept his word ana
two weeks ago began unloading an
accumulation OF 10000 bushels on the
market at so cents Mr.. Smith is am
Iply provided with room for storing
Immense amounts of grain and his
Ineighbors say he holds the state rec
ord for storing ana holding grain for
| long periods. Several years ago he
sold about 5000 bushels Of wheat,
the most Of which had been stored
for seven years, lie did not get his
price then, but had TO sell because his
granares were full and another crop
was coming on.
Whether or not Mr.. Smith has
made this holding Of grain pa! IN
| the long run is an interesting quos-
tion but on the corn he held for four
years he lost money. Al husking
time In 1908 corn was worth about
GO cents. At 7 per cent interest and
compounding the interest annually,
he would have broken even on 80
cents and a little better, but THIS
takes no account Of shrrrkage which
In four years would be considerable.
Tests at the Kansas station prove that
the average shrinkage In cribbed corn
Averages S.62 per cent the first year.
Milking Machine Necessary Article.
! should like to add a few words
| TO the article on milking machines
.afsfra N "a a
paper.
AT the present time, as all farmers
know, II is a great problem to find
some one or something to do what
many consider the meanest part OF
the chores, namely, the milking. II
is gradually becoming recognized
fact that we need no longer worry
about whether the hired man Is going
to stay or not, for thanks to the care
! full and patient study Of the question
! by several different companies, we
now have a choice of many different
machines of reliable manufacture
which generally require the services
of one man only who can do the milk
ing In less time ana at greater comfort
to all concerned.
In the case of our machine the en-
gine Cor other motive power) II fitted
up at any convenient point at the end
of the COW barn and connected by
belting and pullies to n crank and
pitman onto the driving rod, which is
fastened over the COWS on the stanch-
ions on the same principle as a NOW
ing machine. This driving rod is
made of either hardwood or steel
whichever the customer requires
one and one-quarter inches square,
and is run the whole length of the
stanchions and held in place by steel
guides between every two cows.
The machine itself consists Of one
pump, cylinder, claw, cups, pail and
one rubbe' tube from pump to cylin-
der, and one from pail TO claw Of
cups. To ft IT up for milking the
pump is fostened on the driving rod
by means of a pin which enters n hole
in the base and a casting TO hold the
pump rod, the cylinder is screwed
into lid Of pail, cups joined together
by the claw, and then put onto the
cows in the usual way the pail set
ting between the two cows next to
the stanchlon.
Each machine win mix from six
to eight cows per hour under ordi-
nary conditions. handled by one man,
three to four machines at one time.
From the description you will see that
this machine milks one COW at q time
only, not two cows in one pail. AS
each machine works independently II
is quickly and easily changed from
one COW to another, no time being
lost waiting for one COW to finish.
There is no positive limit to the num-
ber Of machines used, providing there
is one man to every three or four ma
chimes. To change from one COW to
another the empty pail Is set beside
the full one, the cover changed over
with cylinder all fixed together, the
cups placed on the next COW and the
full pail taken away and weighed.
Only a fifteen-inch vacuum can be
produced at the teatC and in the case
Of easy mixers this can. be reduced
by opening a cock on the side Of the
pump, thus doing away with compli-
Gated gauge or safety valve. This
small diameter long-stroke pump ap-
plies the suction to the teats slowly at
first gradually increasing until the
maximum pressure is reached. then
the air is admitted, completely de-
stroying the vacuum. This relieves all
pressure from the teats and allows
the blood to circulate through them
keeping them In a perfectly normal
condition during the milking process
The warm air that is drawn through
the cylinder into the pump is dis
