The Jargest saving in a spec- .. falized operation is in labor, and an when new buildings are built or old ones renovated, labor ef- ficiency should be one of the main considerations. Whe one building new or remodeling, it is; not good enough to have it just a little bit’ better than before, it must be as good as possible be- cause it will become out-of-date

with out-of-date ideas Let's take a look at the trends im dairy housing. The big trend is toward free. stall housing and a milking parlor. The milking parlor and equipment is the ex- pensive part and will do 80 cows @s well as it will do 15. Forty cows is the minimum number to | justify the extra expense in this | system. However, one man can | easily look after 40 cows with no hard labor. Conventional stable | “barns are still popular; but more | labor and bedding is required | and.-these- are usually..two ..ex-., pensive items.

A free stall barn consists of a resting area with indi- dividual 4’ x 7’ stalls for each cow, a feeding area and a milking parlor. The cows ream about the area and lie down in the stalls. The stalls |

--are- bedded up.once a week . and ae floors are scraped daily with a tractor. One man can milk 40 cows per hour in the milking -parior | and so the labor efficiency is ‘high. The size-of the opera- tion can be very easily in-

Five Men Reach New York En Route To Raft Voyage

By ROD CURRIE NEW YORK (CP) —_ Five members of a six-mam interna- tional expedition have arrived here from Montreal on the first

i |leg of a motor trip to Peru and

then a 10,000-mile, eight-month voyage by aft to Sydney, Aus- tralia:

To obtain funds—their | main concern now—they got a helping hand from Salvador Dali, famed Spanish impressionist artist who draws publicity almost as fast as he draw pictures. S

Surrounded by dozen photographers, Dali in a few seconds sketched his impression ‘Pacifica Expedition" emblem, using three feathers, women's hair spray and a crim- gon pencil.

_ Although it was intended to be fastened to the raft’s sail, the crew decided to pack it safely as a souvenir since it wouldn’t

The expedition, 3% vyeatrs in the planning, is headed by Vital Alsar, 32, handsome Spanish professor who has been teach- ing languages in Montreal.

The others are: Jean Poirel, 32-year-old native of France who became a Canadian citi- zen after he moved to Montreal nine years ago; Professor Manuel Camino, 30, another Spanish professor; Yugoslav

Poirel, a stocky man with a heavy black beard, is the most

experienced explorer among them; having taken part in an expedition up the Mackenzie ri- ver .in 1963 and later making |a parachute jump into remote

South Nahanni, Northwest Ter- ritories. In Montreal he also taught parachute jumping.

The idea started soon after Alsar met Camino in Hamburg, West Germany, where Alsar was teaching and Camino was in interpreter on the staff of the Canadian. consulate. Once in Canada, where Alsar worked in a mine in Labrador before get- ting a job as language teacher, they graduallyrecruited the rest of the crew in Montreal.
