- Another innovation in the
barn is the feed trough which
is level with tlhe fib of. There
is no problem with cleaning out
excess .feed and the cows make
no more mess than they did
with the deep troughs, Krei
der says.
He is replacing one row of
11 stanchions in the old part
of the barn with the new st
alls and is selling the old stan
chions for enough to pay for
the new stalls.
The stall is extremely sim
ple, hut it appears to have all
the advantages and very-Tew
of the disadvantages of more
complicated set ups. Kreider is
so well pleased with them that
•he is thinking of manufactur
ing them on a full scale basis.

The trough is level with the floor and is lined, with
tile. Cow stands at ease with neck over the rail at the
front of the stall which doubles as the milker vacuum
line. Chain and snap can be hooked to the cow’s neck
chain at any place, eliminating the need to search for
a ring. Freedom of movement makes for more con

Next winter's egg profits ..a
depend on what you do this spring 1
What- determines laying house profits? Price of eggs?
Disease? Cost of feed? Rate of lay? Yes... all these
,are important, but record-keeping Eastern poultpfj
men will tell you the biggest factor of all is the kina
of a pullet you start withl
They’re not talking about the different strains, neces
sarily. They're merely saying that pullets started and
raised right—mth the best of breeding, feeding, saluta
tion, and management—invariably make more eggs
and more money than those raised any other way*
In fact, poorly-raised pullets sometime fail to make
a return over feed cost!
So raise them on the Purina Program. We’ll help you
all we can with advice on debeaking, housing, feeding.
We have Purina disease treatments and wormers with
Research-approved directions on how to use them.
We’ll help you'wind up next fall with a bunch of big,
sturdy, Purina-fed pullets developed to return good
money for you in the laying house.
