UTAH Com gs -- Device Used on Tractor Lift-Ty- pe Will Aid Materially In Easing Farm Chores i INKLINGS By iehn Jarvis To help with those odd chores about the farm that so often are and Pittsburgh forgings company of Coraopolis. Pa., has developed a utility carrier for use on tractors. Is atThe Pittsburgh carry-lif- t tached in a few seconds to tractors through the regular implement suspension points. Made of alloy spring steel and structural steel, it will handle loads as heavy as 700 pounds. An important feature of this new unit is its quick conversion from a platform lift to a fork lift, making it universal in the types of loads it can both lift and carry. It can be used as a platform lift either with or without a back panel, and pock- back-breakin- time-wastin- g lift-typ- e aati-- i The farm carry lift la attached In seconds through the regular -- tractor Implement suspension points. Heavy containers can be tipped and rolled onto the platform without lifting. The tractor engine raises the carry-lif- t. ets are provided for standard 2' x 4 stakes. The frame is punched to provide easy securing of loads and for the addition of a wooden platform. Used as a fork lift, the utility carrier works like a small hay buck, and thus can pick up bulky material witout the lift, having to be loaded by hand. Heavier loads can be handled In this way by usIts capacity for ing light, bulky loads can be extended materially by putting 2" x 4" fork extensions into the brackets provided. Lifting of heavy containers like milk cans, drums and barrels is beeliminated by the carry-lif- t cause these can be tipped and rolled onto the platform which practically rests on the ground. Small buildings, range shelters, and feeders can be easily and quickly moved by tipping slightly and running the forks beneath them. Heavy bags of seed grain can be taken to the field with a minimum of lifting, and field feeding is made both quicker and easier. will be found parThe carry-lif- t ticularly useful because material can be moved over any kind of ground, under any condition where a tractor can operate and in places that might be inaccessible by other means of transportation.

This farmers smile as he gets his first roll indicates a big welcome on its return to the farm market. This beUing is particularly popular because of its added flexibility and toughness. ar Value of Bicarbonate Use In Swine Feeding Tested An experimental feeding program to determine the value of bicarbon ate of soda in the feeding of hogs is being conducted this fall al Iowa State college. Experiments will be aimed at determining whether the feeding oi bicarbonate of soda produces observable benefits in the growth oJ swine and whether the ingestion oi amounts equal to 1 per cent of the ration will produce results.
