PUBLISHERS' STATEMENT 



We DO NOT manufacture or liandle silos, and are not 

 interested in silos in any way except from an educational 

 standpoint. This attitude enables us to discuss the various 

 types of silos in an entirely impartial manner. 



We have been publishing educational literature on silos 

 and silage for over thirty years, fully two decades before 

 the farm papers of the country began to boost the subject. 

 This pioneer work explains why "Modern Silage Methods" 

 has become the standard text book now used in so many 

 State Agricultural Colleges for class-room use. 



We do however manufacture the famous line of Silver's 

 "Ohio" Silo Fillers and Feed Cutters as illustrated and de- 

 scribed in the back part of this volume, and if the reader will 

 kindly investigate and consider the merits of this line of 

 Silo Fillers when in the market, we will feel amply paid for 

 the trouble and expense of publishing this valuable book. 



Respectfully, / 



THE SILVER MANUFACTURING CO 



Salem, Ohio, Jan
