THE DAIRY HERD 105 



is suspended from a steel rope, and by a push of the 

 hand it can be sent a distance of several hundred feet 

 to unload itself and to return unaided to the barn. The 

 unaided return is made possible by slanting the rope 

 somewhat toward the barn. It dumps itself by means 

 of an automatic attachment placed at the point where it is 

 expected to unload. The convenience afforded by such 

 a carrier is especially great during the winter, when the 

 stable may be cleaned without leaving the barn. The 

 carrier cable should be placed between the two rows 

 of cows extending the full length of the stable. 



Manure Spreaders. No dairy farmer can afford to 

 be without a manure spreader. It quickly pays for itself 

 in the saving of labor and has the additional advantage of 

 insuring an even distribution of manure on the field.
