of  Five  Wheelbarrow  \ 
loads  at  OneTrip 
Five  times  you  pile  up  the  manure  in  the  wheelbarrow. 
Five  times  you  strain,  push,  slip,  slide,  balance  and  tip, 
in  wheeling  it  out  through  the  mucky  barnyard.  Five 
times  you  make  a  run  for  the  pile,  up  a  narrow,  treacher¬ 
ous  plank.  You  may  reach  the  top  —  you  may  fall  off  the 
plank.  Five  times  you  drag  back  to  the  barn,  just  about 
all  in.  It’s  a  daily  performance — back-breaking  drudgery 
—  slavery — a  dirty,  tiresome  job  that  can  and  should  be 
done  away  with. 
These  same  five  wheelbarrow  loads  can  be  taken  out  in 
the  Louden  Manure  Carrier  in  a  single  trip,  quickly,  eas¬ 
ily,  in  a  fraction  of  the  time  and  with  practically  no  effort 
at  all.  And  it  takes  the  manure  cloan — liquid  and  solid 
—  without  dripping  or  scattering. 
Cuts  Out  Drudgery 
The  Louden  Manure  Carrier  positively  makes  bam  clean¬ 
ing  a  quick  and  easy  job.  Lower  the  big,  leak -proof  tub 
—  fill  it  up  without  wasting  steps  or  breaking  your  back. 
Hoist  the  load  with  the  easy-lift,  worm  gear  hoist.  A  gen¬ 
tle  push  and  it  glides  along  the  overhead  track,  on  its  roller  bearing 
wheels,  to  the  pile  or  spreader  to  dump  its  five  wheelbarrow 
loads  of  manure.  Easily  installed  in  any  bam,  old  or  new.

Apple  Sauce  for  Pigs 
My  growing  pigs  are  about  three  months 
old  now,  growing  fine.  They  are  fed  three 
times  a  day  on  eormneal,  wheat  mid¬ 
dlings,  tankage,  and  I  am  mixing  with  that 
the  apples  that  have  fallen  off  the  trees. 
I  make  a  sauce  of  them  and  put  in  with 
the  other.  Am  I  doing  right?  j.  d. 
New  Hampshire. 
I  knowr  that  roast  pork  and  apple  sauce 
make  a  fine  combination,  but  I  have  uever 
had  any  experience  in  feeding  apple  sauce 
to  pigs.  A  combination  consisting  of  seven 
parts  of  cornmeal,  two  parts  wheat  mid¬ 
dlings  and  one  part  of  tankage  would 
make  an  excellent  grain  mixture  for  fat¬ 
tening  pigs.  I  do  not  believe  it  is  neces¬ 
sary  to  cook  the  apples  that  are  furnished 
the  pigs.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  pigs  can  eat 
the  raw  apples  if  they  are  pulped  or  cut 
up.  They  merely  serve  as  an  appetizer  and 
do  not  supply  much  food.  If  the  pigs  are 
given  all  of  the  apples  that  they  will  eat 
they  will  not  consume  enough  grain  to  fat¬ 
ten  properly.  A  pig  requires  a  concen¬ 
trated  ration  and  you  will  find  that  about 
4  lbs.  of  this  grain  ration  ought  to  be  re¬ 
sponsible  for  a  pound  of  gain.  Feed  the 
pigs  all  of  this  mixture  that  they  will  con¬ 
sume  with  relish,  and  use  the  apples  as  a 
mere  appetizer.  If  the  pigs  are  fed  three 
or  four  times  a  day  it  will  he  quite  suffi¬ 
cient. 
The  grain  should  be  supplied  in  the  form 
•of  a  thick  mash  rather  than  as  a  thin 
slop,  for  if  highly  diluted  the  pigs  will 
literally  starve  to  death  on  a  full  stom¬ 
ach.  Make  sure  that  no  parasites  are 
annoying  the  pigs,  and  if  lice  are  in  evi¬ 
dence  saturate  the  coat  with  crude  oil.

Dairy  Butter  Coming  Back 
There  seems  to  be  something  of  an  in¬ 
creased  demand  for  good  dairy  butter. 
Some  years  ago,  many  farmers  who  were 
making  small  quantities  of  butter  at 
home  became  quite  a  little  discouraged 
because  they  felt  that  the  creamery  sys¬ 
tem  would  drive  them  entirely  out  of 
business,  so  that  no  one  would  care  for 
the  butter  made  in  small  quantities  on 
individual  farms.  In  fact,  a  good  many 
of  these  people  did  stop  making  it,  and 
they  felt  certain  that  the  day  of  the  home 
dairy  had  gone.  Now  there  seems  to  be 
a  swing  back  the  other  way.  We  are 
constantly  hearing  from  people  who  say 
that  they  have  gone  back  to  the  private 
dairy.  Many  of  these  people  are  located 
in  a  dairy  section  where  most  of  their 
neighbors  are  shipping  liquid  milk  to  the 
city.  As  a  rule,  these  people  have  only 
a  small  herd  of  good  cows,  and  do  not 
make  enough  milk  to  justify  the  time 
and  labor  spent  in  hauling  it.  By  mak¬ 
ing  a  high  grade  of  butter,  they  get  a 
good  market  for  such  milk  as  they  pro¬ 
duce,  and  there  seems  to  be  no  particu¬ 
lar  trouble  in  disposing  of  the  product. 
Again  and  again  people  write  us  saying 
that  they  would  like  to  know7  where  they 
can  buy  some  old-fashioned,  homemade 
butter.  A  number  of  people  have  de¬ 
veloped  a  good  trade  in  this  line  by  using 
the  .parcel  post.  The  following  note 
comes  from  Delaware  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  is 
a  fair  sample  of  the  way  some  of  our 
readers  on  comparatively  small  farms  are 
making  good  at  dairying.  It  is  quite  re¬ 
markable  how  some  of  the  old  methods 
of  years  ago  were  once  discarded  as  out- 
of-date,  yet  are  now  coming  back,  and 
being  successfully  operated  by  a  new  gen¬ 
eration  of  farmers. 
There  are  several  reasons  why  we  make 
butter.  One  is,  we  are  a  long  distance 
from  a  creamery  ;  another  is,  I  think,  the 
buttermilk  and  skim-milk  is  worth  a  good 
deal  to  feed  to  calves,  pigs  and  chickens. 
Our  farm  is  small,  only  62  acres,  and 
nearly  one-half  woodland.  There  were 
six  cows  on  the  place  when  we  (wife  and 
I  have  a  joint  deed,  also  bank  account) 
bought  in  April,  1922,  but  we  are  keeping 
only  four  cows  at  present  and  are  raising 
some  young  heifers  (Jersey). 
The  market  for  good  dairy  butter  seems 
to  be  unlimited,  as  we  have  to  turn  down 
people  every  few  days  who  want  but¬ 
ter.  We  have  had  our  first  experience 
this  Summer  keeping  city  people,  and  we 
are  very  well  pleased,  as  we  had  nice 
people,  and  there  is  a  fair  prfit  at  $15 
per  week.  They  made  a  home  market 
for  some  butter  and  a  lot  of  milk. 
We  sell  our  butter  in  jars  and  2-lb. 
rolls.  Just  think,  years  ago,  before  we 
sold  milk,  my  wife  made  tons  of  good 
butter  that  sold  from  12  to  20c  per  lb. 
It  didn’t  pay  off  a  $2,400  mortgage  very 
fast.  D-  w-  B-
