The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bul- 

 letin 123, which includes the result of several years' work in

 follows Bulletin 121, which shows the cost if keeping brood 

 sows, the cost of the pig when it has reached the weight of

No Pit Required. Complete Scale Above the Ground. Steel Frame, Steel Joists. No Heavy Timber to Renew. First Cost Practically the Final Cost. 



We give you a 10- Year Giltedge Guarantee, to replace any defective parts free of charge and the scale to retain its absolute accuracy 

 according to U. S. Standard weights and endure service for the 10 years. 



The McDonald Pitless represents the highest quality of workmanship, material and finish, it is the most substantial in construction and 

 will support the heaviest weights in the most accurate manner. The average shipping weight of the four and five-ton McDonald Pitless with 

 frame 8 by 14 feet is 1,650 pounds; please compare this weight to some other scale that you have in view, you will find that we put from 300 to 

 500 pounds more material in the construction of the "McDonald Pitless," which insures correct weights under a heavy load; while the lighter 

 constructed scale may weigh a light load accurately you will find in most cases the scales of lighter construction will vary, causing you a loss 

 from which there is no possible recovery.
