One of the biggest labOr,saving ap.
pliances on the market today Is the
automatic stock watering bucket. Es-
pecially in the winter when the
weather is cold and the herd is housed
good portion of the time this buck
ct saves a great deal Of every day
work that must be attended to. With
1t the cow can get fresh drink any
| time she desires it-nO attention
from the man is necessary-the COW
merely lifts the lid and a steady flow
of fresh water pours in as long as
she is driking. When through. the
lid drops, the flow of water automat.
ically shuts off, and at the same time
all the residue water drains out. NO
stale water-no chance to spread dis.
ease germs in the herd. Every
Edairyman knows that water increases
the quantity of milk. With this sys'
tenn where she can get drink when,
ever she wants It, the COW will get
more water than where she is water
ed at a certain time during the day.
The increased production OF milk. to
gether with the vast amount Of labor
saved, makes 1t possible for the auto.
matte water bowl to pay for itself
several times over during the first
six months it is installed.
With the scarcity Of farm labor and
the increased cost Of labor that re-
mains en- the farm, modern barn
equipment is an absolute necessity
during these times-One that the
farmer and dairyman cannot afford
to do without II production Is going
Ito be kept up to the maximum.
! Clarion Clipper: Perhaps one OF the
finest corn cribs to be found in all
Iowa Is located on the farm occupied
and owned by the Carter brothers. one
mile north of Gait. The crib was
|built by the work of the boys alone
and cost in the neighborhood OF $3.0oO
for the material alone. Figuring IN
the work that was necessary for the
construction undoubtedly place the
valuation near $4,000. Built entirely
Of hollow tile reinforced with steel,
THE crib will stand the ravages OF the
weather for years to come. and Will
prove cheap in the end; as far as the
price Is concerned. The crib is forty
feet SQUARE and has corn crib on
each side ten feet wide with an alley
way in the center which is twenty
feet wide. In the center Of the alley
way there is an elevator and gram

Herman Gottsch is now farming the
lold home place three miles north OF
West Side. 1t is called Gottschdale
Stock Farm and is right now the home
|of many choice Poland China swine.

one of his herd boars. He Is nov
three years old and a cOrking good
one. G's WondeS, bred by H.; II.
Myers & Son, sired most OF his spring
pigs. He is also q good animal and
Ihas proven his worth as q sire. He
has 100 spring pigs from fourteen
sows and has twenty-five brood; sows
in all. He also has a number OF last

While the Gottschl herd of Hereford
cows are not registered, there are
many high grade animals among the
forty head Of cows. They have always

Last week Herman attended the Wiesc
Bros. sale at Manning and bought the
bull which has stoDd at the head OF
Ed Wiese's herd, and he is q monster,

to be known far and near as the home

1t is certainly remarkable what one
good COW will do f5r its owner. There
are many cases Gin record where a
farmer has gone to some good herd
and bought a good individual, q men,
Der of the popular tribes, and the COW
has made him b:trrel OF money, pro.
