feeding system, the Maternal automatically completed
Robot that will feed up to 40
calves or 80 lambs
According to the manufactur
er, the easy maintenance and
servicing is a major improve
ment over similar devices. The
machine automatically mixes
milk replacer and water for
continuous feeding of the ani
mals.
Installation merely consists
of hooking the machine up to a
power and water supply. Every
thing is then automatic except
for adding milk replacer and
cleaning the milk bowl daily.
Animals nursing from the
nipples disrupt the equili
brium between the weight of
the milk bowl and the counter
weight of the balance assembly.
This sets the unit’s mechanism With the Maternal Robot, ani
into action. Simultaneously, two ma j s nurse as Nature intended,
valves, an agitator motor and a f ntly in smaU amoimts
powder distributor motor are , *
activated. The milk replacer is whenever they are hungry,
reconstituted and fills the milk night and day.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 5,1970 —
Control dials allow regulation
of temperature and powder
flow to make any consistency of
milk you desired. The powder is
dispensed in the mixing cham
ber and hot water runs down
the inner walls of the chamber,
keeping the compartment clean
while mixing with the replacer.
An agitator propeller mixes
the final product with cold wa
ter. This final step regulates
the temperature of the mixture
for immediate feeding.
A spokesman for the Mater
nal Robot Corporation stated
that the machine can eliminate
up to 80 per cent of feeding
labor and can reduce mortality
rates by as much as 75 per cent.

Workmen Preparing
For 55th Pa. Farm Show
Things are beginning to hum
in the Farm Show Building as
workmen start getting it ready
for the nation’s greatest indoor
agricultural exhibition, the 55th
Pennsylvania Farm Show Jan
uary 11-15.
Maintenance crews are clean
ing the place and preparing
facilities for the commercial and
competitive exhibits that an
nually attract a half-million or
more spectators to the five-day
show.
“It will be another full house,”
said Horace L. Mann, Farm
Show director, as he began a
last minute review of space
commitments for exhibits of
livestock and farm and home
products.
In addition, Mann pointed out,
there will be 218 commercial
exhibits, eight by state agencies,
and 11 church and agricultural
association food booths.
“We also have about 50 com
mercial exhibitors on the wait
ing list,” Mann said. Space is in
such a demand, he explained,
that prospective exhibitors wait
several yeais after making appli
cation before they can “get in.”
The Farm Show opens at 8
a m daily, Monday through Fri
day. Closing time is 9 pm. Mon
day through Thursday and 4
pm. Friday Evening programs
in the large arena may continue
beyond the 9 p m closing hour,
Mann said
Doesn’t Kill Tree
Stripping cork bark does not
kill the tree if done at inter
vals of 10 to 18 years, and care
fully so as not to damage the
inner bark, which is left alive
and intact to form more cork.
