The WINDMILL with aRECORD 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor has behind it 9 
years of wonderful success. It is not an experiment. 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor is the Gen¬ 
uine Self-Oiling Windmill, with every moving 
part fully and constantly oiled. 
Oil an Aermotor once a year and it is always 
oiled. It never makes a squeak. 
The double gears run in oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. They 
are always flooded with oil and are protected from dust and sleet. 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor is so thoroughly oiled that it runs in the 
slightest breeze. It gives more service for the money invested than 
any other piece of machinery on the farm. 
You do not have to experiment to get a windmill 
that will run a year with one oiling. The Auto-oiled Aermotor is 
a tried and perfected machine. 
Our large factory and our superior equipment enable us to produce economically and 
accurately. Every purchaser of an Aermotor gets the benefit from quantity production. 
The Aermotor is made by a responsible company which has specialized in steel windmills for 36 years.

THEO. BURT & 
Hinged Panel Lambing Pens 
Mark J. Smith 
jV/TR. H. M. DUNMORE of Broome 
County expresses an interest in 
the use of lambing pens and wonders if a 
size of four feet square would not, in some 
cases, be a little cramped. At first 
thought it would seem that a pen four 
feet square would be somewhat small, 
yet in actual use it is found to be ample 
in size for the run of our farm ewes. At 
the present time I have four hinged-panel 
lambing pens in use, in which there are 
four ewes with six lambs. The pens are 
each four feet square with the exception 
of one which is four feet six inches on 
one side. The old shed that I have rigged 
up for a lambing barn is none too large 
and I would prefer to have the extra space 
for the flock than to have the lambing 
pens larger. The pens should be three 
feet high and should be so constructed 
that lambs can not crawl out and become 
separated from their mothers. No par¬ 
titions are necessary when the hinged 
panels are used, as they are intended for 
use along the sides of the barn beginning 
at one corner, each panel when hooked on 
to the adjoining panel and wall complet¬ 
ing a pen. Each hinged panel when 
opened like a letter L being a partition 
and a gate in itself.

To Increase the Consumption of Lamb 
# 
T F there is any one thing that we 
sheepmen should be interested in 
more than another it is the increasing of 
the consumption of lamb on the part of 
that augmenting class of city people, who 
buy what they want regardless of price. 
Where would the sheep industry be if the 
average consumption of lamb through¬ 
out the country was gaged by the aver¬ 
age per capita consumption of people in 
the rural districts? Surely we must 
give the city man what he wants. And 
what he wants in the way of sheep for 
food is tender appetizing lamb. England 
consumes much mature mutton, but the 
United States is like the mother country 
in that respect. A man prominent at the 
Chicago Stock Yards once told me that 
sheep meat was the only meat fit to eat. 
The consumer is the man to be satis¬ 
fied and no one knows better what the 
consumer wants than the packer. Ar¬ 
mour and Company have been running 
ads for the purpose of encouraging sheep¬ 
men to dock and castrate their lambs. 
I have one before me that states that the 
western sheepmen receive thirty-five 
cents per hundredweight as the average 
premium through the year over those in 
the “native” state due to docking and 
castrating their lambs and for shipping 
them in uniform weights and types. 
At the lamb improvement conference 
held in Kentucky last winter, R. S. 
Matheson, head sheep buyer for Swift 
and Company, talked on the subject— 
“How Improved Quality Will Increase 
Consumption.” He stated that the mar¬ 
ket preferred ewe and wether lambs and 
that they commanded a premium. He 
brought out the point that the wether 
lamb dressed out a better percentage 
and more of the most valuable cuts. 
Mr. H. K. Nickell of the United Dressed 
Beef Company of New York City spoke 
on the subject—“ Why the Eastern Mar¬ 
ket Prefers Strictly High Class Ewe and 
Wether Lambs.” The discussion of such 
subjects by men close to the ultimate end 
of all market lambs speaks for itself. 
Docking and castration is a short job— 
when so-called experts have their picture 
taken properly docking a lamb there are 
usually two or three attendants to help 
but I have seen a neighbor of mine, 
George Gardner, docking, castrating and 
marking lambs alone. I have never yet 
tried to castrate a lamb alone but may 
come to it. Last Sunday morning I took 
an ax and a block of wood and backed 
sixteen lambs up to the block and took 
their tails off with no bad results. There 
are no doubt better methods but it is 
worth something to have the work done 
at the right time.
