Storage to high carrier by gravity. Re- 

 ports from other states indicate that 

 a few operators have buih special 

 grain carriers which are suspended 

 from the usual carrier track but as 

 near the ceiling as practical. These are 

 filled by gravity from bins above the 

 grain room. By the use of flexible 

 metal pipe, hoppers within five feet 

 of the track can be filled by gravity. 

 The same equipment could be used 

 to fill small bins in each pen for use 

 in feeding pellets or scratch.
