Book 3 — Knee-Rest Holder for Milking Pail

Becoming tired of holding the milk pail between my knees while milking, I made a contrivance of strap iron to overcome this. It is arranged so that the milk pail will just fit inside, the curved straps supporting the weight of the pail on the knees. The holder may be made of wood, with the possible exception of the curved arms, which should be made of pieces of iron, ¹⁄₈ in. thick and about 2 wide. The circular frame can be made adjustable to various pails by bolts set in holes in the bands.—J. C. Whitescarver, Miami, Okla.
