daily advance in dairy farm practice in troduced since the advent of the milking machine may be seen at alan lishmans woodlawn farm near pickering called a aiilking parlor it is everything the name implies with french boudoir doors thrown in for good measure gone are the days on this farm at least when the milker crouches down on his little wooden stool and with bent back really gets down to work low down that is gone are the days when bossy can kick the pail over if something dis pleases her or swish her tail in the farmers face if he happens to look up at the wrong time heres how it is done 1950style the parlor is a spotlesslyclean room built in connection with the barn it has three stalls built about three feet from the ground on a cement base by an ingenious ar rangement of ropes doors are opened so the cow can enter and leave the cagelike arrangement where the milking is done when the milking machine motor starts the cows get anxious to fake their place each one walks up a ramp into its stall three at a time and later returns to the barn down another rani while one is being milked the others can be washed and prepared for milking the op erator can work at a convenient height without having to bend down to his work air lisliman says that there are only two or three such installations i in ontario though they are the coming thing many neighbors have seen it and declared their in tention of building similar equip ment mr lisliman built the ap paratus himself in the fall it has been in operation a short time there is no cleaning to do a con venient hose allows the platforms to be washed down twice each day the arrangement of milking ap paratus allows utmost convenience to the operator an interesting sidelight of this method is that the farmer is thus enabled to let his herd be loose in the main part of the barn they eat as they like around the barn the manure thus accumulated is said to be two or three times as valuable to the soil as when if it

piled outside not only is more nitrogen preserved but by the ac tion of the hooves the straw is ground up so that when it is cleaned out to the fields once each year a rich mixture is obtainable rather than the dried straw and dung which comes from the ordinary pile which has been exposed to the weather in the milking parlor it is un necessary to privide stanchions since the cow is enclosed by a gatelike arrangement of metal bars cleanliness is easily obtain- ble in any dairy barn through the use of this new equipment six deer seen in farm yard at brooklin brooklin couple mark 61st
