Model Farm of Rolph Near Waterloo Attracts Attention
L J Rolph 12 miles northeast of Waterloo maintains a model farm with a modern residence and a large barn. Twenty one cows are milked by an automatic milker driven by a gas engine, enabling two workers to do the work of four. The dairy runs to a separator, with a silo used each fall for weighable corn. Government pay of fifteen dollars per year is noted for the silo, and every department follows a system similar to the dairy. Rolph keeps strict accounts, and while the expenses are many, the revenue side appears larger over the past year.
