Cleaning Barn Just Plain Hard
Work Unless Power Handles Job
By IRA MILLER
Farm Electrification Bureau
Fending the cows, milking them
and looking after the rnilk is pro
ductive work. But cleaning the barn
is just a plain, disagreeable, hard
chore. Many farmers think it is one
chore too many. And they’re doing
something about it. For it is a job
which can be added to those already
being done with electricity.
ters are clean and the manure has
been dumped onto a conveyor which
loads it into the spreader.
Another cleaner operates on the con
tinuous chain principle. The scraper
ccjuipped chain is dragged electrically
along all gutters, making a complete
circuit of the barn. To accomplish
this job, cross gutters connect the
main gutters at each end of the barn.
At the end of the run, the manure is
EXAMPLE OF HOW electricity can replace that five-lined fork.
fc-iectrically operated barn cleaners
have moved from the novelty to the
practical stage. Approximately 7,500
of them now are in use and estimates
are that this number will increase to
over 15,000 during the next five years.
There are at least four different
conventional models on the market.
One of the two straight pull-out
cleaners has a double chain conveyor
which moves scrapers along the gut
ter. Manure is dragged out of the end
of tho barn, up an incline and dumped
into a spreader. An arrangement of
eables pulls the conveyor back Into
the bam. Another straight line cleaner
has a reciprocating rod and scraper
action. As the rod moves forward the
scrapers push the manure toward the
end of the barn. On the backward
stroke, the scrapers fold against the
rod and are ready for another for
ward thrust This forward and back
ward motion coatAHpoe CPMI (gfh
deposited In a pit or In a corner of
the barn where a separate conveyor
automatically elevates it out of the •
building and Into a waiting spreader,
A loss costly, but more labor
consuming cleaner, employs the us®
of a long-handled scraper. The scraper
Is puiled along tb® gutter by motor
operated cables, but must be guided
by hand. Again a separate conveyor
elevates the manure Into the spreader
outside the barn.
Farmera having bank type barns
probably oan dispense with the extra!
conveyor, since manure can be
dumped into a spreader located on
a level below the end of the building.
Generally, cleaners and conveyorsvp
erate only Id minutes a day, using ■
maximum «f 2 kwbr in this time. To
clean an average the dairy bam with
a tee-tin *4 lork may take an hour
