Third— By greatly enhancing the value of the stable manure, through not allowing the liquid portion to be lost in wheeling or pitch ing from one place to another. These are a few of the advantages derived frem installing an Auto matic Drew Carrier, but they are enough to show the business farmer that it is one of the best paying investments he can make. The following testimonials speak for themselves: Forest Grove, Ore., Dec. 22, 1907. Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co., Portland, Oregon.
