THE GREEN MOUNTAIN SILO. 



THE one factor of storage room Is a big one. 

 A ton of hay requires 500 cubic feet of storage 

 space, while the same amount would store 

 ten tons of ensilage. This and the nature of en- 

 silage makes almost a total absence of fire risk. 

 The farmer who carries his barns full of hay to 

 take his cattle through the winter is carrying 

 much greater risks and paying much more in in- 

 surance premiums than his neighbor who has his 

 winter feed stored in a little round barn of mod- 

 erate cost, which could hardly be coaxed to burn, 

 and which would injure its contents but little if it 

 should burn. Calculate the expense of building a 

 barn to store your hay and compare the result 

 with the cost of a silo and add to both the differ- 

 ence in insurance. Calculate also the amount of 

 space required to contain ten tons of hay in the 

 ordinary barn at 500 cubic feet to the ton and see 

 the result. Write for special catalogue giving full 

 description of silos. Write for prices, giving size 

 wanted, and state if wanted .vith or without roof.

Ten Reasons Why a Silo 

 is a Good Investment ... 



It will produce a winter's feed nearly the 

 equal of the green pastures of the summer. 



It will do this for less money, and with less 

 labor than is required for an inferior food. 



It will pay for itself in two years. 



It will add 20 per cent, to the profit of each 

 cow in the herd. 



It will keep two cows on the same land that 

 would keep but one without it. 



It will not only produce the best food for the 

 cow, but it will produce also a food which in 

 a small way is equally as good for the horse, 

 the sheep, the fattening cattle, the hogs, and 

 the poultry. 



It will save storage room and insurance rates. 



It will prevent waste. 



It will bring cash dividends from the farm 

 which, without it, can barely " make both 

 ends meet." 



It will do all of this and more, if vou will but 

 try it. 



Owen's Oblong Cylinder Power 

 Pea and Bean Thresher 

 and Cleanen 



The Oblong Cylinder 



Is one that moves with 

 the bean vine for 32 

 inches, threshing it the 

 whole length with flat 

 concave. 



THE ROUND CYLINDER cannot thresh the beans thoroughly unless run at a high rate of speed, because it has very short 

 space in which to thresh, and if it does not run at a high speed it cannot thresh the beans at all; they split the beans. By using 

 the oblong cylinder it runs at half the speed, or 300 revolutions, and that solves the question. In the oblong cylinder we have 

 teeth much farther apart than in the round cylinder. The closer youput the teeth the more power it takes to run the machine. A repeat 

 elevator is used to elevate the tailings back into the cylinder. A long carrier is used to carry off tne vines, and a long shoe, with 

 zinc sieves in, and blast so directed'on them as to clean peas or beans thoroughly. This machine has been thoroughly tested and 

 proven satisfactory in every respect.
