Profit and Loss on the Farm 



Losses on the farm result from exactly the same 

 causes which make failures of mercantile establish- 

 ments. The successful farmer must exercise the 

 same care to prevent losses as must the superin- 

 tendent of a great railway system. 



Waste Steals Profit 



Whether it is of labor or of material, waste is 

 the most persistent and insidious cause of loss. 



The most valuable by-product of the farm is 

 manure. The litter of the barn is the balance 

 wheel of the farm. Every crop harvested, every 

 blade of grass eaten by cattle uses just so much of 

 your cash capital in soil fertility. You must replace 

 it by fertilizing. Now comes the opportunity for 

 waste. What method do you use for handling 

 manure? All soil experts agree that manure used 

 fresh and containing its full share of liquid is at 

 least 50 per cent more valuable than old manure. 

 Are you losing that 50 per cent through lack of 

 facilities for handling it? A litter carrier installed 

 in your barn will enable you to load fresh manure 

 into a wagon or spreader and make the work mere 

 child's play. 



If you do not have our little booklet entitled 

 "Some Interesting Facts on a Homely Subject," 

 which treats of manure values and methods of 

 caring for same, send for it — it is free. 



Stop Stable Drudgery 



Labor costs money. Whether you clean your 

 barn and feed your stock yourself or hire it done, 

 you cannot afford to waste the time and energy 



called for by the old wheelbarrow method. The 

 saving in time alone gained by the use of a litter 

 and feed carrier will pay handsomely on the 

 investment. 



Cleanliness Next To Godliness 



Just as much so in the barn as in the kitchen. 

 A clean barn means healthy cattle, more and better 

 dairy products. Removing the unpleasant feature 

 of cleaning the barn by using a litter carrier will 

 result in more frequent cleaning. The carrier 

 places the litter either in your wagon or at any 

 desired distance from your barn, insuring not only 

 a clean barn, but a clean yard as well. 



Check Up the Profits 



Count them on your fingers: The increase in 

 the value of fresh, wet manure and consequent 

 increase in the fertility of the farm; the saving of 

 time in the handling; the improved health of your 

 cattle; the increase both in quantity and quality 

 of dairy products. Any one of these reasons should 

 be sufficient to induce any farmer or dairyman to 

 equip his barn with a Louden Litter Carrier. Many 

 farmers say that by using a Louden Feed Carrier 

 they are able to prevent a waste of feed that soon 

 pays for a feed carrier — to say nothing of the 

 time saved. If you could reduce each profit to 

 figures, add them up for a year, setting down the 

 answer in dollars and cents, you would very quickly, 

 like everyone of your friends who have installed 

 Louden Litter and Feed Carriers, come to the con- 

 clusion that you could not get along without them.
