CONCRETE SILOS 
"These figures are merely suggestive. In any particular case they 
must be applied with judgment, and other things must be taken into con- 
sideration. It would seem fair, however, to make the market value of corn 
less the cost of husking per bushel, the yield per acre in tons of silage, cost 
of siloing, and the quality of the silage, the determining factors in secur- 
ing the valuation of silage." — From Wallace's Farmer, Des Moines, Iowa. 
"Dairymen who have a supply of silage which will be available are 
most fortunate and have simplified the matter of feeding their cows suc-

Summer terrors for them. Experiments have proved that good corn 
silage is equal to green soiling crops for summer milk produc- 
tion and is much more conveniently fed to cows than are green soiling 
crops which have to be hauled from the fields." — The Farmer, Saint Paid. 
"Feed bills which have been saved this winter through the use of the 
silo cannot be estimated. One correspondent declares that his new silo

Itself 't^^ ^^lo t^^^ greatest money saving investment I ever made. 
I am going to build another this summer.' It is the same 
story all along the line — what they all say after a fair trial of the silo. 
There is no investment which pays better interest and dividends from 
the very start. A live stock farmer without a silo in these days is working 
under a serious handicap so far as economical profits are concerned." —
