Silos must be conven¬ 
ient and safe. 
Look at the front of a 
UnadillaSilo and you’ll 
see why we sell more 
silos than any two other 
manufacturers in the 
East. With its contin¬ 
uous opening’, adjusta¬ 
ble door frame, and 
doors that can’t freeze 
in or stick, you can 
enter easily and safely 
and shove out the silage at its 
own level instead of pitchinir it up over 
head; gravity does your work. And with 
the Unadilla safety ladder device built on the 
door, you’re as safe climbing the Unadilla as 
eoine up a stairway!

Your Green Mountain Silo, 
with the popular hip roof, will 
never need an. apology. It is built 
to stand up permanently—just as 
any other farm building is ex¬ 
pected to do. Every groove and 
joint is made to fit tight—both 
for permanence and silage pro¬ 
tection. Every stave is treated 
in creosote preservative. Hoops 
are of extra heavy steel with 
rolled (not cut) threads. They 
cost us more but they stand 
unusual si rains. Doors fit like 
a safe-always tight. Wooden 
ladder rungs; no iron to frost 
the fingers. Green Mountain 
Anchorage system holds silo 
absolutely firm and upright. 
A beautiful silo—with nut- 
brown 6ide walls and bright 
red cedar roof. Write today for 
detailed circulars. Special in¬ 
ducements for early order*.

Apples for Stock 
Are apples any good to feed, and liow 
do they compare with carrots? i. s.«. 
M'aeedon, X. Y. 
The composition of apples and carrots 
is shown in the following table; 
Pounds in One Ton. 
Ca rbo- 
Protein. hydrates. Fat. 
Apples . X 300 4 
Carrots .IS ISO 4 
Thus we see that the carrots are twice 
as strong in protein, hut with little more 
than half as much carbohydrates. The 
V* ■ 
carrot#; a re much safer to feed. Unless 
the apples are fed carefully .they will 
cause bloat. The best way is to feed a 
few quarts to begin with, and gradually 
increase as the cattle .become accustomed 
to them. 
Preparing Meat Scrap at Home 
FouId an old horse in good health and 
good flesh when slaughtered he prepared 
for meat scraps suitable to feed chick¬ 
ens? IIow could it be done? A. P. X. 
Neslianic, X. J. 
We think it very doubtful whether a 
successful brand of meat scraps can be 
made with the ordinary farm conveniences. 
The manufacturers have boilers and ovens 
and powerful machines for grinding or 
ehopping the meat, which is lirst cooked 
and then pressed to dry out the fat, then 
rousted and crushed or ground. We 
doubt if you could make a succcessful 
article with the usual tools found on a 
farm. It would hi- more satisfactory in 
the long run to feed the meat out during 
the Winter, keeping it frozen or in the 
snow until wanted, or it. may he boiled 
thoroughly and the fat skimmed off tin- 
water, then Ibis meat packed in tins or 
jars with the melted fat poured over 
them, very much after the plan that many 
farm women employ in carrying meal 
through the Summer. The meat thus 
handled can he taken out when, wanted 
later on. and chopped to he mixed with 
the mash, or hung up on strings in the 
henhouses for the hens to eat. This, on 
the whole, will he more satisfactory than 
trying to make dried meat scraps. If 
anyone has succeeded in making this 
product, at. home, however, we would be 
glad to hear about it. 
The Man with the Boots 
Seeing the picture in November 20 is¬ 
sue of Tiik II. X.-Y., of the man with the 
boots, makes me think of my father, who 
passed away in 1011, in his eighty-eighth 
year, lie never wore #<hoes, but always 
leather hoots. Summer and Winter. One 
time 1 purchased him a pair of leather 
slippers, quite high for slippers; in fact, 
as high as one could handily put ou, and 
although he wore them a little each year 
for many years, he never wore them 
enough to wear them out. lie liked hoots, 
and lie had them. In 1001 we had a 
minister who always wore leather boots, 
and later I heard his congregation at an¬ 
other point wanted him removed ou that 
charge alone. Otherwise they liked him, 
but not his unfashionable leather boots.

yours, for you can buy on easy terms.

kind which grows 20 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre.
