Tomorrows Dairymen Will
Use Head More Than Hands
The dairyman of tomorrow will
be using his head more and his
hands less. He will stop carrying
hay, silage, bedding and milkers
to his cows; and milk and manure
from them.
And how can he do this? Guy

state college, tells how:
Hay—Store it on the ground and
let the cows eat right out of stor
age, Ground level hay storage
sheds are gradually replacing bur
densome and costly overhead stor
age setups. When you put the hay
overhead you make yourself lift
and carry each ton two extra times.
Silage—Store it on the ground
and seif-feed. It is being done suc-
cessfuliy with trench and above
ground bunker silos. With a tower
silo, you may want to consider a
mechanical unloader that empties
into a seif-feeding bunk or onto
a mechanized beit that moves the
silage to the cows. This saves you
handiing each ton of siiage three
times.
Milkers—Let the cows bring the
milk to the milkers—and when,
they get there, let them stand up
on a platform where you can work
the easiest. Yes, use a milking par
lor with elevated stalls.
Milk—Let pipelines carry the
milk. By the pipeline putting the
milk into a bulk milk tank, instead
of a dozen cans, it will save you
handling .each pound of milk as
many as five times. Is it necessary
to carry 40,000 pounds when a
cow gives 8,000 pounds a year?
Grain—When possible have it
over the milking parlor in a big
bin. Gravity will bring it down to
each feed manger where a meter
ing device will measure out the
correct amount to each cow. This
save you handling each 100-pound
bag of grain at least twice.
Cow—To take the greatest ad
vantage of these suggestions, your
cows should be free to move. 'They
should be housed loose in a pole
type loafing shed. This will save
you the work in unstanchioning
and re-stanchioning your cows
once or twice each day. Since re
search shows that cows produce
just as much milk in loafing barns
as in a stanchion barn and you can
expect less hock and udder in
juries, dairymen should give care
ful consideration to this method
of housing in order to obtain your
greatest efficiency.
Bedding—Store it on the ground
level, preferably in the rear ten
feet of your loafing barn. You
can’t get bedding any closer to
where you will be using it.
Manure—In a pole-type loafing
shed you leave it where it falls—
bedding it over each day until you
are ready to move it with power
machinery. Then once, or three
times a year you clean out the bed
ded area and take the manure di
rectly to the fields. Thus, instead
of handling the manure once or
twice a day, it is done once or
twice a year. Also, in the mean-

These suggestions do not amount
to a push-button method of pro
ducing milk, but they call for an
increasing amount of mechaniza
tion on our dairy farms.
Release from Loan
Liability for Veteran
When a veteran with a GI loan
on his home wants to sell the
house, it’s possible for him to get
a release from the liability he first
assumed on the loan, the Vetei-ans
Administration said.
If the new purchaser can pay the
veteran all cash and enable him' to
pay off his GI loan entirely, there
is no problem, the agency said. This
situation applies when the purchas
er gets his own financing for a
mortgage separately.
In the majority of cases, however,
according to VA, the purchaser
wishes to take over the GI loan
and he does not have to be a veter
an himself to do this. If the veter
an who is selling the house secures
relief from liability, this will be a
protection for him. If not, he may
still be liable to the lender for

payments in case the new purchas
er should default in his payments.
To secure the release, a veteran
selling his Gl-financed home should
write to the Veterans Administra
tion Regional Office which handled
his GI loan in the first place and
request relief from liability. He
must give in his letter all the de
tails about the original loan and
the sale he is planning.
The information required in
cludes the veteran’s name, the VA
Loan Number from his certificate
of eligibility, the exact address of
the property, name and address of
the purchaser, and name and ad
dress of the lending institution
which holds the mortgage.
The purchaser has to join in the
procedure by agreeing to the relief
from liability of the veteran. He
will have to sign an assumption
agreement, assuming the liability
himself, and will have to submit
to VA a financial statement
There are usually certain costs
involved in this kind of transaction,
VA said, and it is up to the veter
an who’s selling and the new pur
chaser to work out how much of
them are to be paid by each party.
