The ELECTROMIX SYSTEM
Handles More Bedding.
The Electromix System is installed with
a second 15 cm (6”) P.V.C. pipe to dram
rain water back into the collection pit;
usually the quantity of water required to
clean the milking system is enough to
condition the manure, that means less
water to spread in the field.
The Electromix System can be in
stalled with 2 or more gutter cleaners
and for scrape-in operations. This
positive displacement pump can transfer
great distances without regard to
elevations. Cost is reduced with the use
of 6 inch PVC pipe. The capacity of this
system is approximately 10 cows per
minute.
Oustanding Pennsylvania 4-H'ers honored
BY SUZANNE KEENE
UNIVERSITY PARK - Many
Pennsylvania 4-H’ers were
recently rewarded for hours and
hours of hard work and practice
during State 4-H Achievement
Days held at Penn State’s
University Park campus.
With them came a delegation of
county 4-H agents, leaders and
chaperones, many donating their
time and talents so that the 4-H’ers
would have the opportunity to test
their skills and learn by doing so,
said 4-H Youth Specialist U.B.
Bakker.
The 4-H’ers who had the op
portunity to compete in this three- .
day event had already devoted
much time to preparing for their
demonstrations, speeches or bowl
questions. Others had labored over
the sewing machine, making
clothing that could rival any
available in a store.
They had previously competed
with their peers on a county level
and came out at the top. Many
more hours of practice followed in
preparation for the even stiffer
competition that knew they would
face at State Days.
And, while not every one who
came was able to leave with an
award, all had shared in the fun
and fellowship of competing with
fellow 4-H’ers. Many of those who
did not rank at the top of the roster
this year, Bakker said, will be back
even stronger next year, or the
next. What is important, he
stressed, is that they have learned
and grown through their ex
perience.

The MANURE PUMP
with a
BIG BITE
If you are trying to agitate and
pump manure without this big
propellor and positive cutting
blade, you probably aren't doing
it as fast as you could.
This big 24” steerable pro
pellor agitates even the
hardest of manure storage
pits with heavy bedding at
displacement rates of 18,000
gallons per minute. The cut
ting blade will chop long
straw bedding and hay from
feed bunks to mix it into a
rich and creamy fertilizer.
This pump is available for all
sizes of storage areas in
lagoon, trailer, 3-point hitch,
and stationary models.
Don't be caught short off
enough pump to do the job.
