“Twelve Months of Summer Feed”
The only farmers who can afford N O T to own a Silo
are those who have no stock or those who have already
made so much money thev want no more.
E V E R Y O TH ER F A R M E R NEEDS A SILO.
Agricultural has become a business.
Crops are the same as money.
No farmer would deliberately waste M O NEY, but
until the modern development o f the SILO he wasted his
CROPS—simply because he knew no way to save them.
With the SILO he now saves all o f his crops and in
cidents increases the value and decreases the cost o f
all his other sources o f income; cattle, horses, pigs, sheep
milk, butter, meat, etc.
So great is the actual CASH saving that the entire
expense o f the SILO is made from the first year’s in
crease in income.
It is no longer a case of; “ Shall I buy a SILO ?”
That question has been answered in the growth o f
agricultural knowledge and practice. The application to
this locality merits the few words found here.
The only question for the MODERN F A R M E R to
decide is: “ What Silo shall I buy?”
