A Silo You Can Always 
Be Proud Of 
Ask yourself, “How will my silo 
look after ten years?” Then learn 
the age of some of the thousands of 
sturdy, good-looking Green Mountain 
Silos dotted over the country. They 
“grow old gracefully.” 
Green Mountain Silos, with the 
popular new hip roof, are fully de¬ 
scribed in our interesting new 1919 
folder. Write for free copy today. 
You’ll always be glad you did so. 
The staves of the Green Mountain 
are of thick, clean lumber, dipped in 
creosote oil preservative. Grooves 
and joints are made to stay tight— 
and they do. 
The hoops are of extra heavy steel, 
with easy-fitting rolled thread. They 
stand the hardest strains. 
The patented Green Mountain door 
is simple and tight—it fits like a re¬ 
frigerator door and keeps the silage 
sweet and palatable. 
The novel Green Mountain anchor¬ 
age system prevents warping and blow¬ 
ing over—“it holds like Gibraltar.”

Cortland Wool Tops the Market 
Wool pooled by the members of the 
Cortland County Sheep Breeders’ Asso¬ 
ciation has been sold for the highest price 
received for wool in tlio State, the Syra¬ 
cuse Rendering Company being the pur¬ 
chaser. Both last year and this 95 per 
cent of the wool produced by this associa¬ 
tion graded as medh«n wool. The in¬ 
creased returns for the wool sold in this 
county co-operatively this year net the 
producers over .$1,000. as thb' price to in¬ 
dividual growers has been from 50 to 58c 
-per lb. Local dealers here have not adopt¬ 
ed the tactics used in Tioga County, 
where the expected pool of 23.000 lbs. of 
wool was reduced to 10.000 lbs. by deal¬ 
ers who went among the producers at the 
last minute and offered a higher price 
than had been hid. 
The Cortland sales committee, of which 
J. II. Myer is chairman, deserves much 
credit for securing this top price. Most

New York sheep growers had been free 
from. Buyers are urged to look out for 
this, as it is a pity to endanger this in¬ 
dustry, which is now having a healthy re¬ 
vival. and which promises good returns 
for many years. Sheep scab, not known 
in this State until the past two .veal's, a 
parasitic disease which injures the wool 
mechanically, was brought here in this 
way. It is first noticed by a falling of 
the wool about the flanks and shoulders, 
the skin later showing bloody spots. A 
lime-sulphur dip, S-2S to 100 gallons of 
water, passing into the dip for three min¬ 
utes. and repeating in 10 to 14 days, will 
control this. A nicotine and coal tar 
preparation is also effective. 
Internal parasites form another 
bigger class of troubles to be looked 
for. These include the lung worm, 
stomach worm, the gid. tape worm,

A Silo as Personal Property 
I wish to put up a silo on a farm that 
I am renting, hut want to fix it some way 
that silo will still belong to me. and so 
that I could take it down at any time I 
cared to, provided I should have any 
trouble with owner of farm, or should not 
rent it any more. Is there any way to do 
this? J. S. E. 
New Y 0 rk. 
In the nature of things silos need a 
firm foundation pretty substantially af¬ 
Shearing Sheep with Machine Clippers 
sheep should receive to keep the wool free 
from injury. Cortland County has sev¬ 
eral Western men who have come here 
and who have stocked the hill farms with 
high-grade sheep. They report conditions 
here as favorable to the production of 
wool and of high-grade mutton, and they 
find, this branch of farming profitable. 
J. II. Myer. chairman of the sales com¬ 
mittee, has 1.800 sheep that lie bought in 
the West this Spring, bringing here eight 
carloads. The Winter was a hard one in 
the West for sheep, and these-showed the 
effects of it when they arrived, hut recent¬ 
ly a party of sheep growers inspected this 
flock and said they had never seen so fine 
a flock of largo, healthy lambs. The 
shearing of sheep in large numbers, with 
good machinery, such as is used by Mr. 
Meyer, is a short job. and not too expen¬ 
sive. The largest clip consigned to the 
Tioga County, pool was sheared by the 19- 
year-old daughter of the sheep owner, 
George Barber of Newark Valley. The 
clip weighed 378 lbs. 
The importation of Western sheep grown 
on areas which have maintained sheep, for 
a period of many years has brought into

agreement in the form ot 
the owner and tenant, by 
which the owner in consideration of the 
better farming which the tenant could do 
by having a silo, agrees to allow the ten¬ 
ant to take the silo away when he leaves. 
This agreement should then he filed in the 
county clerk’s office, where deeds are 
filed, so that anyone buying the farm and 
searching the records would know that 
the silo did not pass with the land. I 
think this arrangement would be legal, 
and is the only safe way for the tenant to

V ' 
the average local veterinary has a very 
meager knowledge of sheep diseases, as 
little or no training is given them along 
this line. This condition must be changed 
if the industry is t<> thrive here, and we 
must look to the West for expert knowl¬ 
edge along these lines. A knowledge of 
the best methods of prevention of these 
troubles is essential to success, and grow¬ 
ers should apply to the State College for 
help along these lines, as new conditions 
and new diseases are bound to come. At 
present, however, sheep authorities of the 
State agree that the dog is the chief men¬
