Put Away Your Hay 
Without Hand! Forking 
^HIS year you can turn your hardest haying job into boy’s play. No 
more sweating and pulling over great rolls of hay in a heated mow. 
No more dumping into the center of the mow. A fourteen-year-old 
boy can put away more hay with a Callahan Hay Guide than three 
strong men can mow away by hand. Two seasons of successful use 
has proved the value of this great labor saver* We positively guarantee 
that the 
'Saves Hand Forking' in the Mow' 
And it does a great deal more. It entirely eliminates the hard- 
packed center which so often causes “fire-fanging” and sometimes 
spontaneous combustion. The hay is distributed evenly throughout 
the mow. It comes out easily, saving a great deal of time when 
doing chores or baling. You can get several more loads into a big 
loft because all the space is used. 
You can use the Callahan Hay Guide in connection with the hay fork outfit 
you now have—any make. In small barns no track is required. The Callahan 
it easy to install and anyone can operate it successfully with very little practice. 
It will pay for itself in one week by saving two men in the mow. 
Try a Callahan Hay Guide at our risk. Get one from your dealer; if he 
doesn’t have it write us direct. Test it in your own bam; if you are not fully satisfied 
that it is more than worth its cost, return it in good order within ten days and your 
money will be refunded. To take advantage of this offer, your order must be re¬ 
ceived before June 1st.

W hen a man once owns a Unadilla 
Silo, he wants no other. Because 
the Unadilla gives a man a kind of silo 
service that means better satisfaction. 
For instance: its continuous front opening 
saves time and hard work because it allows you 
to push silage out at its own level—no pitching 
up and over; doors fit air-tight, water tight and 
won’t freeze in or stick; door fasteners form 
ladder that’s safe and easy to climb; strong, 
frost-defying construction keeps silage good to 
the last forkful. 
These and many other important features are 
all thoroughly explained in our catalog. Send for

Multiple Prices Bring Dairymen More Mone 
T HAVE always been 
a loyal pooler, yet 
for sometime past questions similar to 
Mr. Van Wagenen’s in his article “The 
Multiple Price Plan” have been running 
in my own mind. But seeing this same 
reasoning or questioning in print has con¬ 
vinced me that the League plan is sound 
and I should like to briefly answer Mr. 
Van Wagenen. 
He admits fluid or market milk is 
worth more than milk used for butter and 
cheese. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO 
GET MORE IF YOU DO NOT ASK 
MORE? If the League had only one 
price for milk, that price would nec¬ 
essarily be the butter price, which for 
November would have been around 
$1.67. The League couldn’t have fixed a 
higher price because a small company 
making nothing 
By A. A. READERS 
is the only way 
for the farmer. If 
present members don’t stick we woi 
get $3.05 from Sheffield Farms or evi 
$2.58 or $2.25, but just about $1.70, 
butter price. Tell me where that is wroi 
We agree market milk is worth mo 
than milk used for butter or cheese, 
we can not ask more for all our milk th 
butter is worth. So how are we goiiy 
get more than butter prices for our flu 
milk, unless we have a multiple pri 
plan?—R. C. F„ Delphi Falls, N. Y.

Plan Saves Farmer From But 
Prices 
I N the January 12 issue of your valua 
paper I read the article by Jared 1 
but butter could 
not have paid a 
price of $2.25 and 
continued business 
at a loss. Or a con- 
densery couldn’t 
have paid a price 
of $2.25 and make 
a finished product 
worth $2.10. 
Now does any 
sane man think 
that any company 
in an open market 
would pay $3.05 
for milk to be used 
for all purposes, 
fluid, evaporated, 
butter, etc.? NO, 
EVERY SANE 
MAN MUST 
AGREE THAT 
IN A MARKET 
WHERE WE 
HAVE EACH 
INDIVIDUAL 
FARMER FOR 
HIMSELF, THE 
BUYERS WILL 
GET THE MILK 
AT BUTTER 
PRICES OR 
SLIGHTLY 
MORE. Is that 
reasoning correct? 
Wagenen, Jr., and I, like Mr. Van Wa 
nen, had someth 
THEY WILL STICK 
gACK in those memorable days of 1916 
when dairymen were making their great 
fight for better milk prices, many friends 
and enemies alike said: “It will do no good, 
for farmers never can and never will stick 
together.” But for once, the pessimists 
were wrong, for the farmers did stick to¬ 
gether, and as a result they won their fight. 
Since that time they have won several 
others, including the other big milk strike 
of 1919, and the resistance to the tempta¬ 
tion to withdraw from their organization 
during the February cancellation periods 
that have passed since the Dairymen’s 
League Cooperative Association has been 
doing business. When excitement and en¬ 
thusiasm run high like they did in both 1916 
and 1919, it is much easier to stand up with 
one’s fellows and fight than it is to make an 
unselfish decision in cold blood and alone 
on some great problem, like the coming one 
that members of the Cooperative Associa¬ 
tion will face from February 12 to 28. 
Nevertheless, we have no doubt what 
their decision will be. Diarymen know that 
too much is at stake; they remember too 
well all the hard work and the sacrifices that 
for years now have gone into building the 
organization to throw away all that has been 
gained by withdrawing at a critical time.— 
THE EDITOR. 
Mr. V*i Wagenen 
as 
m my syste 
which only 
writing eould 
pressure be 
duced. 
I am a poo 
but milk only 
cows and depei 
upon other thin 
for the main 
ing, so while 
pool is not vita 
me I can well syi 
pathize with 
poor dairymans 
must depend 
his cows for a 
ing. I am stron 
in favor of 
sys tem wh 
raises the price 
milk in whole 
in part. 
I am out of sy 
pathy and I 
confess, out 
patience with 
dairyman or se 
dairymen who 
liberately unde 
sell and cut 
price of such 
precious and at 
same time 
milk, while 
1 ' 
and I agree upon that point at least. 
Now, why is the multiple price plan 
wrong economically? Let us compare it 
with other business. Does Mr. Van 
Wagenen mean to state that the “Citrus 
Fruit Exchange” would quote the same 
price for a dozen lemons or a box of 
lemons that it would for a carload or a 
trainload? Would any business make the 
same quotation for one article that it 
would for a gross or a car? Absolutely 
not. What is the difference in asking 
“How many?” and “What for?” In the 
case of lemons, the more you purchase 
the cheaper you buy. With milk, the 
price is governed by the use to which the 
milk is put. No attempt is made to fix 
an arbitrary price that is not governed 
by the law of supply and demand. Mar¬ 
ket milk is perhaps an exception, but did 
not the milk companies build up their 
prices and profits for market milk long 
before the League came upon the scene? 
Market milk may also be compared to 
the home consumption or trade of a large 
to 
cheap commodity 
dealers laugh on one hand and pat thi 
selves on the back with the ot 
lining their pockets at the farm 
expense because of ,the [short-sigh 
ness of a few who realize a small 
over the “pool price” but at 
same time cut the “pool price 
“greater” extent by 'price cutting in 
fluid market. In other words, if all 
milk were pooled, the fluid milk in h 
York City would bring all the dea 
could be made to pay without increasi 
the retail price too much or as the 
one price would be as great as the re 
market would stand. 
None know this any better than 
dealers in New York City and to prev( 
this some of them organized some farm 
who could not or would not understa 
the aim of the pool, and they still it 
other farmers who were helpless, as tl 
had to exist and pay interest and hea 
taxes and had no other recourse than 
sign on the dealer’s dotted line. 
WITH THIS CREW, THESE DEA 
business which sells its surplus in foreign #ERS DELIBERATELY AND Cl 
trade at a much lower cost or price than 
it obtains in the United States. Is such a 
practice frowned upon? 
All economists agree that the farmer is 
and has been decidedly on the short end 
financially for a number of years. Why? 
Doesn’t “Every man for himself” answer 
the question? ORGANIZED LABOR 
AND CAPITAL GET THEIRS BY 
COOPERATION, AND UNTIL THE 
FARMER LEARNS TO COOPERATE, 
HE WILL SEE STORMY TIMES. 
There are too many organizations sell¬ 
ing milk in New York. I have criticized 
the League at times, but as I see it, it 
NINGLY PROCEEDED TO DEM( 
ALlZE THE FLUID MARKET It 
THE PURPOSE OF FORCING DO! 
THE PRICE OF MILK FOR THE 
OWN FINANCIAL ADVANTAf 
FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKE 
THE LEAGUE MEMBERS DISSi 
ISFIED AND BREAKING UP T 
LEAGUE, ALSO TO THEIR 0l 
FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE. Thus 
things have been going along about 
scheduled. If the non-poolers are 
put out of business, all the dairymen 
be put out of business.
