makes it easy. Getting the manure
into the spreader, however, is still as
heavy work as it used to be. There
fore one Minnesota farmer, John Jack
son, has rigged up a contrivance which.
is intended to take the backache out of
manure loading.
Jackson's mncVilwa js made as fol
lows: On an old, low-wheeled wagon
is mounted a hoisting crane, construct
ed from quite heavy alls. The crane
is attached to a center mast in such a
•way that it revolves about the mast,
and can thus be swung from side to
side. Being well balanced, the crane
can easily be pulled back and forth,
just as desired, by means of two ropes,

Minnesota Farmer Has Manure Loader
Mechanical Device Proves Handy Auxiliary to Spreader
and Has Other Uses
BY CHARLES OLIVE
OADING manure is one
of the toughest jobs on
the farm. Formerly the
unloading was also slow
and tiresome, but now
the manure spreader
ARMY GOODS
one attached to each side of its further
end. At the tip of the crane is a
grooved wheel for the lifting cable to
run over and at the lower end of the
crane, near the center mast, are placed
a. wheel and windlass and a small
gasoline engine to work the crane. The
engine is stationed on a timber plat
form which turns with the crane, thus
making it easy to attach a belt for
running the windlass. At the end of
the lifting cable a six-tine grapple
foik is attached to a pulley.
OPERATED LIKE A
STEAM SHOVEL
When Jackson is ready for loading
he stations the machine near the
manure pile and anchors it to the
ground with an iron stake, so that it
can not topple over while the crane
is lifting a heavy load. He swings the
crane over the manure pile, presses
down the fork and starts the engine.
A big forkful is speedily pulled loose,
swung over the spreader and dumped
off there by means of a trip rope. The
crane is then swung for another load.
The machine works beautifully.
Jackson can load the spreader in a few
minutes without working hardly at alL
Usually he has a small boy to set the
fork in position. Jackson himself just
stands at the engine till the load is
fulL There is a transmission on the
belt wheel pulling the windlass, so he
does not have to stop the engine for
every forkful, but keeps it running all
the time. The crane pulls loose the
manure, no matter if it is packed sol
idly and contains long hay and corn
stalks. Every farmer knows what a
job it is to load such manure by hand.
Jackson also employs the loader
for other work. He uses it at the
stone pile for lifting rocks into the
wagon, and he uses it for handling
the animals when butchering, or for
all heavy lifting where a crane can be
utilized.
"A contrivance like mine," says
Jackson, "is especially handy for
farmers who do not have lots of help.
Nowadays it is almost'impossible for
farmers to hire all required help,
therefore every labor-saving device on
the farm is a blessing. The more we
can do with machinery the better."
HOG-RAISING COSTS
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have
been raising hogs for 23 years, start
ing as a boy of 15. I am 38 now, but
not too old to learn. This last year I
raised 75 fall pigs and 60 February
pigs. They did fine all winter, but
they cost a lot to get on the market:
Tankage, $110 per ton $ 175
Shorts, $52 140
Barley, $1.40 per bushel 350
Shelled corn, $1.40*a bushel 850
Doctor's bills 175
Regulator (guaranteed) 75
Slack coal 20
Field corn, $1 per bushel 1,375
Total cost, without charge
for labor $3,135
They brought me, at 13 cents a
pound, Cedar Rapids, $3,360.
I had intended to allow myself $1 a
day for my labor but could not do it
on these figures. Nor did I count in
the value of alfalfa pasturage which
they had.
I am not a pessimist, but I hope that
when they are cutting down the high
cost of living they don't take all their
spite out on the hog and stop there.
We are willing to take less if we can
buy cheaper.
