Get More Milk—Do Less Work 
Use These Barn Labor Savers 
On hundreds of practical dairy farms Louden Water Bowls have 
proved their value by increasing the milk yield of the herd from 25% 
to 40%. Just give each cow plenty of water and see how quickly 
her milk production will increase. Louden Water Bowls do this easily 
and save all the bother and trouble of turning your cows out to water 
twice a day during the cold, stormy, win¬ 
try months. Write us how many cows 
you have. You will be surprised how 
little it will cost to install Louden 
Water Bowls for your herd. 
Saves Labor Every Day 
for Years to Come 
Louden Manure Carriers installed 25 
years ago are still doing their daily 
share of the barn work. They save 
half the time and labor of cleaning. 
They take the equal of five wheel¬ 
barrow loads at one trip, including 
the valuable liquid manure, and take 
it clean without scattering or drip¬ 
ping. Run so smoothly on roller 
bearing trolleys that a small boy can 
do the work easily—load and push the 
carrier out of the barn and automatically 
dump it into pit or spreader. It is one of 
the best investments any farmer can make-

low for squashes and pumpkins, however. 
It is better to store them in a furnace 
cellar, either in crates or on swing 
shelves. They need a temperature of 50 
degrees. Market gardeners who grow 
squashes in a commercial way and hold 
them until Winter usually have a storage 
house in which a little heat can be main¬ 
tained by means of a large stove. The 
squashes are stored on bins raised above 
the floor, ordinarily with two decks. Care¬ 
ful attention is given to ventilation. 
Apple Storage.— In a cellar where 
apples are to be kept some moisture is 
required. It may he supplied by sprink¬ 
ling the floor occasionally or by keeping 
a pail of water in the room. A storage 
cellar for apples erected on a farm in 
this section some time ago has a depres¬ 
sion on all four sides of the floor, so that 
a few inches of water can he kept there. 
There is an outlet in one corner, while 
the water is admitted at the opposite 
side, and there is a sufficient fall so that 
the water does not become stagnant. In 
some old farmhouses a brook runs through 
the cellar, and it is proverbial that fruit 
keeps especially well in them. 
Cabrage and Celery.— It isn’t advis¬ 
able to store cabbages in the cellar, al¬ 
though a few can be kept in barrels of 
sand for early use. The better way is 
to bury them head down in trenches in 
the garden, covering them with straw or 
hay, on which earth may be piled as the 
weather gets colder. Frozen cabbage will 
keep perfectly. It is the alternate thaw¬ 
ing and freezing which makes it spoil. 
If there is a surplus of celery when Fall 
comes, it can be taken into the cellar, 
roots and all, and placed in boxes of sand 
or on the cellar bottom, and the roots 
covered with sand. The celery may he 
placed close together, and will keep for 
a considerable time. Some garden mak¬ 
ers like to have an out-of-doors pit where 
they can store celery and other vegeta¬ 
bles. Such a pit is easily made in the 
side of a hill. If it is to he a permanent 
affair it may he cemented, and a heavy 
double door hung at the entrance. The 
pit may also be made on level ground by 
constructing a light wooden A-shaped 
frame over the top, to be covered with 
earth or manure. In such a pit celery 
will keep until after the new year, and 
if Boston Market celery is grown perhaps 
much longer. 
Root Crops.— The simplest way to 
store carrots, beets and other Toot crops 
is in boxes of sand, although they will 
keep reasonably well in open boxes with¬ 
out sand if there is a little moisture in 
the cellar. If the cellar is very dry, on 
the other hand, sand should be used and 
occasionally moistened. It may be that 
sand is not readily obtained, in which 
event leaves will he found to serve as a 
very good substitute. There should bo 
a layer of leaves in the bottom of th* 
box. after which a layer of vegetables 
should be put in, to be covered with an¬ 
other layer of leaves, and so on to the 
top. E. I. FARRINGTON.
