I wice a day for 6 or 7 months every 
year you climb your silo and fork out 
silage. Make this work safe and easy 
by having the Unadilla Silo. 
Has airtight, watertight doors that can¬ 
not stick or freeze in and give a con¬ 
tinuous opening at the level of the 
silage. Instead of pitching tons of 
silage out over head you simply shove 
it out. Gravity carries it, like water 
over a dam. 
The door fasteners form a permanent, «afety 
ladder—convenient, secure. Hoops are eas¬ 
ily adjustable from this ladder.

To keep your dairy on a maximum 
paying basis, look first to the health 
and comfort of the udders and teats. 
The slightest discomfort in these milk¬ 
giving organs reduces the yield, 
makes milking hard and encourages 
more serious ailments. Thousands 
of dairymen are keeping their cows 
comfortable and at full production 
through the use of Bag Balm for any 
disorder of udder or teats. Cuts, 
Chaps, Scratches, and inflamed or 
irritated conditions respond quickly. 
For Caked Bag, Bag Balm is without 
an equal. The tissues quickly return 
to normal upon application of this 
soothing, penetrating ointment. 
A big package of health insurance at 
a little price. 65c at general stores, 
feed dealers and druggists. Be sure 
to keep it on hand; it pays for itself 
many times over.

Bits of Farm Law 
Farmer’s Income Tax 
My sister and myself are run mug the 
farm on equal shares. My sister is mar¬ 
ried and I am single. Our total income 
for the past year was about $6,000. This 
is $3,000 for each of us. How much of 
this do we have to pay tax for? Is there 
no allowance for the food and clothing 
required during the year? Our feed bill 
was about $1,300 in 1020. We also have 
to build a barn this year. Must we pay 
tax on the money w T e have to spend to 
build the new barn? J. ,T. S. 
New Jersey. 
The Federal income tax does not allow 
any deduction for food and clothing dur¬ 
ing the year. The farmer who operates 
a farm for profit may deduct from the 
gross income as necessary expenses all 
amounts actually expended in the carry¬ 
ing on of the business of the farmer. The 
cost of ordinary short-lived tools may be 
deducted; the cost of feeding and raising 
live stock may he deducted in so far as 
such costs may represent, actual outlay. 
The cost of farm machinery and farm 
buildings represents a capital investment 
and is not an allowable deduction as an 
item of expense. N. T. 
Payment for Care of Parent 
Fan a child collect from the estate of 
a parent for services for the care of a 
parent during the parent’s last illness? 
New York. i>. c. N. 
An abstract answer cannot be given to 
the question propounded by you. It de¬ 
pends entirely upon the circumstance in 
each case. Where a member of the fain 
ily after he is 21 years of age continues 
to live with the family and thereafter 
renders services the law will not imply a 
promise to pay for the services. As a 
general rule where the father furnishes a 
home for a child there is no implied prom¬ 
ise to pay for the services of the child. 
If the parent has declared his intention 
of recompensing the child, or has made 
an agreement with the child to make a 
will in his or her favor, then the child 
might recover. N. T. 
Odors from Creamery Wastes 
We have large quantities of whey here 
from the creamery. It is run out into 
the field. It smells abominably, and the 
water in the stream is not fit to wash 
with. The new law says whey and skim- 
milk are not fit to feed our pigs and 
calves, so this year we farmers do not 
get any. Must we endure such a vile odor 
in our village? K. 
New York. 
If the odors which you describe are in- 
injurious to health and are in violation of 
the free use and enjoyment of your prop¬ 
erty right and those of your village neigh¬ 
bors it is not necessary for you to endure 
them. It would be advisable for you to 
take the matter up with your local health 
officer. N. r r. 
Probate of Will 
A man dying and leaving no will, has 
money in the bank, also belonging to two 
societies, one leaving him $1,000 and the 
other $100. but not any one of them as¬ 
signed to anyone. He leaves one sister 
and one half-sister, three nieces and two 
nephews. The mother of those nieces and 
nephews, now dead, was a sister of the 
dead man. This man had a wife who 
eloped with another man 25 years or more 
ago. and was not heard from since. As I 
am chosen administrator, I would like to 
know how this is to be divided, and to 
whom to direct my letters in differet 
towns and cities to have records searched 
to find out whether wife is dead. If I 
cannot get a record of her whereabouts, 
and pay over money to the heirs, can she 
claim a share later? C. A. 0. 
Massachusetts. 
You cannot safely dispose of the money 
in question without going through the reg¬ 
ular proceedings in probate court, in your 
State, and a local attorney would be nec¬ 
essary in order to carry this through. You 
would find it an endless task to search 
through the different cities and towns of 
the United States for a record of the 
death of the wife of the deceased. Rela¬ 
tives of the whole and half blood take 
equally, and those descendents that are in 
the same degree of kindred to the intes¬ 
tate would share equally, those that are 
not of the same degree according to their 
representation. N. T. 
Rights to Stored Property 
I and my brothers moved on a farm 
which we bought. Our neighbor told us 
to buy oats last September and we could 
put them in his barn. We bought SO 
bags. 70 lbs. each bag, and stored them 
in his barn, he saying it would not cost 
or charge anything. I went to get some 
oats, and he said I owe him $50 for stor¬ 
age. There is no written agreement. 
New Jersey. C. G. 
With a few exceptions a verbal con¬ 
tract may express the intention of the 
parties as well as a written one, the dif¬ 
ficulty being in the proof if the same. If 
your brothers were present when you 
made the agreement with your neighbor 
you can undoubtedly secure your oats by 
an action in court. It would be necessary 
for you to consult a local attorney in 
order to bring this action. 
More Wool Money 
You wouldn’t allow one-sev¬ 
enth of any crop to go unhar¬ 
vested. So why stick to old-time 
methods of sheep and goat shear¬ 
ing?

Stewart Machine. Gets more 
wool, and gets it easier and 
quicker. 
The Stewart No. 9 pays its way

Clip Horses and Cows 
Wearing a heavy overcoat the warm spring 
days soon takes the pep out of a fellow. 
Heavy coats of hair affect 
your horses the same way. 
Clip them and they rest com¬ 
fortably at night and keep well 
and on the job.

first warm weather are health¬ 
ier and produce better. If a 
cow’s skin is out of order, her 
whole system suffers. Clipping 
keeps it in best condition.

perfect clipping; machine. Only $14 
at your dealer'a, or we send it for 
(2 and you pay balance on arrival. 4
