SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The silo offers the best means of
conserving the farm feed supply. It
enables the farmer to save the feed.
stuffs for the future use of his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save the vegetables and
fruits for the future use of the fam
lily. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products Of all kinds make II at
once to the profit and the duty of
farmers to increase in every way the
efficiency Of their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the siIo is es-
sential to efficiency. It's advantages
are too numerous to fully enumerate
here. Suffice it to say that expert
ments have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction. It is a palatable feed, keeps
the stock in a thrifty condition, and
the young stock growing all winter.
1t is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder Silage enables one to
keep a larger number Of live stock on
a given area of land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. It
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently oc.
cur. 1t prevents the waste of corn
-cobs, stalks and overripe fodder that
would otherwise not be eaten by the
animals
