inches. A little retaining or trip lever
was also fastened to the frame and
engages in a suitable slot in the end
of the carrier body. This lever Is
shown in the sketch, and it is to keep
the carrier body in place when loading,
and to release the body SC that it will
swing on the pivots In unloading.
The next thing was to put up the
track. I used round steel cable pur-
chased from the local dealer and fas-
tened this to a post in the barnyard
suitably guyed and anchored. The
other end of the cable I ran through
the barn door to the opposite side.
There I fastened it to the wall securely
and stretched it tight. Then l hung
the carrier in place and the job was
completed. 1t works fine and is about
as good as a more expensive one.

DIFFERENCE In MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Has Been
Paid for Without Regard to Quail
ity-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost of dis
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras-
mussen, head of the dairy husbandry.
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use Of collective bargaining in
the sale of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fered.
1.-THE fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, "has made it
difficult to get a rise in price of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as a class
is slow to change and slow to organ
ize. 1t has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
1.-THE fact that milk producers in
the eastern part of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin Is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis in the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

GOOD SANITATION IN DAIRY
Five Practical Suggestions Made by

agement of Herd. .
Clemson College Bulletin.)

NoiSAAiooiA ctt&o
1. Have the herd examined at least
once a year by a competent veterf-
marian. Promptly remove animals sus-
pected Of being in bad health. Never
add an animal to the herd until GER
tain 1t is free from disease, particu-
larry tuberculosis.
2. Never allow a COW to be excited
by fast driving, abuse or unnecessary
disturbance.
3. Clean the entire body Of the COW
daily. Hair in the region of the udder
should be kept short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-f1avored food,
like cabbage or turnips, to be eaten
except Immediately after milking.
Changes In feed should be made grad
ually.
5. Provide fresh, pure drinking wa
ter in abundance.

HOMEMADE CARRIER IN BARN
Labor-Saving Device Easily Put To-

Chores Around Stables.

The daily toll about the barn in do
ing chores can be lessened if a few la
bor-saving devices are installed. Ono
of these devices is a manure carrier.
I made one as follows: The body Of
the carrier is made of pine boards for
the ends, shaped as in the sketch, and
onto these ends I nailed sheet-iron
sides and bottoms, as shown, says a
South Dakota writer in The Farmer.
Then I bent an ordinary one-inch gas
pipe into U shape, forming the frame,
and bolted it to the body of the car
rier, as shown. Then to the top Of
the gas pipe frame 1 fastened two piv-

INCREASED DEMAND FOR cow
In Single Year She Produced Enough
Protein for Three Steers and
Fat for Two.

Dairy products, like everything else,
are increasing in price and we find
row as never before an increasing de-
mand for the dairy COW. If we stop to
consider a few Of her performances
we will find that in a single year she
will produce enough protein for three
steers, enough fat for two, ash enough
to build the skeletons for three, over
$40 worth of milk sugar, and manure
valued at $50.
