Are You Paying Too Much 
For Grain? 
Farmers have complained of the high price of grain; that 
it took most of their creamery or milk check to pay the grain 
bill. For these men, it may be worth while to consider planting 
their silo corn in hills or drills on 
Bradley’s Fertilizers 
so it will ear well, and then when it reaches the “roasting stage” 
put it in the silo, cut their hay early, and by feeding the ensilage 
night and morning as a grain ration, they would make nearly 
as much milk or butter, and save the grain bill. The day of 
cheap grain has gone by. Raise more corn; and raise it on 
Bradley’s. Corn grown on Bradley’s Fertilizers cannot be ex¬ 
celled in real feeding value.
