Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Expense of Mechanical and Hand Milking Investigations conducted by experiment stations and the experience of a large number of dairymen have shown the practicability of mechanical milkers from the standpoint of their effect upon production, upon the quality of the milk, and upon the physical condition of the cows. The object of this study was to compare the expense of mechanical and hand milking in herds of different sizes. Data were obtained from 32 Illinois dairy farms on which 860 cows were milked mechanically and from 34 farms on which 850 cows were milked by hand. The farms were, as nearly as possible, comparable in respect to efficiency of management and methods of dairying except as to the method of milking. The average annual expense of caring for a cow milked mechanically was Man labor constituted percent of the total expense; power, percent, and mechanical milker, percent. The average annual expense 'of caring for a cow milked by hand was or more than the average expense of caring for a cow milked by machine. The labor requirement was hours per cow per annum for the cows milked by hand as compared with hours for the cows milked mechanically. In herds of less than 25 cows, the average annual expense of caring for cows milked mechanically was per cow, and in herds of 25 cows or more, per cow. This difference was made up of differences of in labor expense, in power expense, and 64 in mechanical milker expense in favor of the larger herds. No significant difference in expense of hand milking, due to size of herd, was found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor Requirements of Dairy Farms as Influenced by Milking Machines With herds of 15 cows or less the average time required to milk a cow by hand is a fraction over 7 minutes; by machine a fraction under 5 minutes. With herds of over 50 cows it takes slightly under 7 minutes to milk a cow by hand and but minutes by machine.' With herds of over 50 cows one man with a machine milks on the average about 28 cows per milking as against 17 where the milking is done by hand. With increase in the size of the herd the cost per cow of hand milking changes very little, while the cost per cow of machine milk ing decreases rapidly. With herds of 15 cows or less the average cost of milking per cow by hand is per year as against in herds of 50 or more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost of Milk Production The dairymen in the market milk sections while learning the advantages of collective bargaining are also learning that they cannot sell more milk than the consumer will buy, and tnat in setting a price for milk there are many other things to consider besides the cost of production, important though that consideration may be. During the past couple years there has been cooperative bargaining by the Chicago Market Milk Section. Undoubtedly many of these farmers having become enthusiastic over the possibility of increasing profits from the business by the strike methods of demanding better prices for the product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milk Production Cost Accounts: Principles and Methods The idea of pre-calculating feed costs has, as far as is known, never been suggested before. At first thought it may seem im practical. Nearly all scientific and successful practical feeders of dairy cattle, however, have full confidence in the reverse of the formula recommended herein. On a basis of the re verse of the formula, or with some other standard, they com pute the feed requirements of their cows. The value of a method for pre-calculating costs is obvious. Without it milk costs are only history, and when finally computed are not applicable under changed prices of feed. The value of the method suggested herein is that by the use of it cost may be determined at any time. It is only necessary to know the kind and prices of feed. With the systems now in general use the records of milk costs merely show what the cost has been and may not apply when one feed has gone up in price and another down. The author is looking to the ideal condi tion when we shall be able to figure milk prices as accurately as the modern shop manager who, given the prices of material and labor, can figure to a fraction of a cent the cost of pro ducing certain articles. The formula used herein is based on Armsby 1 Energy Tables and Maintenance Standard, com bined with Eckles 2 Milk Standards. The author is aware of the fact that there is some difier ence of opinion as to which feeding standard is most nearly accurate, and the standard here used may be changed slightly without seriously affecting the use of the method. Such modi fication as the user wishes to make or finds desirable may be applied with little change of formula. Even another standard or basis of food requirement may be used. The Feed Unit System with the Scandinavian Feeding Standard may easily be substituted. This system would be even more simple and would no doubt give satisfactory results. The Energy Method is used because it is growing in favor in this country at the present time and has given excellent results in practice.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigations With Milking Machines The investigations of this and other experiment stations have shown that milking-machines properly operated do not injure the udders of cows, or cause garget or other udder diseases. Udder troubles are Often due to causes that are not in any way' associated with the method of milking practiced; they will occur at times in machine-milked, as well as in hand-milked herds, although less frequently when ordinary care is taken in operating the machine. The best way to avoid troubles of this kind in' case of machine-milking is to remove the machine as soon as no mbre milk comes. Down, and to finish the milking by hand without unnecessary delay. Prompt and careful hand stripping is a most important factor in successful machine-milking, even though the machine used leaves only very small amounts of milk to be stripped out. In the, selection Of the particular make of machine, a number of points should receive consideration, besides first cost and nearness to service agency, such as cost of up-keep, depreciation, simplicity of mechanism and of cleaning. The Various machines on the market differ considerably with regard to these points, andit is evident that no one machine stands out above the others in all respects; also that any farmer with a fair degree Of intelligence and resourcefulness need not hesitate to install a milking-machine in 'his dairy if he keeps twenty or more cows. In many cases it may prove advantageous to adopt machine-milking also in dairies of twelve to fifteen cows, as it will make the owner less dependent upon or entirely independent Of hired help; The actual saving in the cost of milking by machine over hand-milking is.

Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
