IF YOUR COWS COULD TALK
-they would demand a silo. Not only because thev relish
the rich, succulent silage, but because it increases their
ijsefulness to you.
j A silo enables a cow to produce more milk without
dditional expense. It brings more money to the farm
rilhout additional investment. It saves, tons of nourish
m stock food that otherwise would eo to waste. It turns
Ihis stock food into. food for human consumption, every
iojind of which is needed this year. .
