Let Farmers Visit Around.


The best way to decide what

tin round" say men at the New
York state college. A few hours
spent in visiting neighboring
farms where silos are used will
tell more about the silo than any
thing else. The condition Of the
cows in the spring is a good indi-
cation of tho value of silage. A
little visit with the owner gives
his ideas on his silo and what you
want for yours. The same hint
holds true when buying tractors,
building barns, installing milking
machines, etc, and, incidentally,
'visitin' round" when work is
