Preserving Green Forage 23 



With this device, one man can feed all the 

 cattle with less labor than in any other way ; 

 in fact, it seems more like sport than work. 

 The box runs the whole length of the silo, and 

 remains just where we want it, full or empty, 

 at any elevation we may be removing the 

 forage from the face of the cut. We do not 

 have to lug any of it. Thus arranged, the 

 device seems to be indestructible, and time, 

 trouble, and labor reduced to the minimum. 

 There is no waste, litter, or odor about the 

 barn or silo. The box rolls out of the silo 

 upon a Fairbanks scale, every ration is weighed, 

 and it is all eaten up clean. 



The cattle require only about one-half the 

 usual quantity of water: ours drink no cold 

 water, and the results are shown at the milk- 

 pail, the scales,- and the manure pit. In fact, 

 so quickly and quietly is this shown in prac- 

 tical operation that it takes less time to show 

 it than it does to tell and explain it.
