UNADILLA 
SILOS 
made famous by 
Dairymen. 
In a Unadilla you get at 
silage easier, put it on the 
barn level with least effort and 
make adjustments in safety. 
All because its builders made 
convenience a part of the silo. 
Every dollar you put into a Una¬ 
dilla Silo comes back to you many 
times during its long life. That’s 
why successful dairymen praise it 
and buy it a second and third time. 
If you would make more money in 
dairying and pay least for the long¬ 
est and most convenient Silo Service, 
send for Unadilla Catalog and Prices.

Live Stock Matters 
Conducted By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Outlook for Live Stock Farmers 
Is the live stock farmer going or com¬ 
ing? This question is being asked and 
answered from many different angles, and 
there is no denying the fact that the pro¬ 
ducer of live stock or its products has 
been wobbling along, undecided as to just 
what policy to adopt, in planning for his 
future activities. Inflated values for 
purebred animals that were established 
during the booming period failed to hold 
during the readjustment stage. In many 
instances breeders were forced to use in¬ 
ferior sires or to restrict their breeding 
operations, and in a great many sections 
.stockmen not only reduced their herds 
and flocks, but actually plowed up their 
meadows and pastures, determined to 
enter the ranks of the grain growers and 
be content with a shorter working and 
marketing season. During the period of 
the war they found this type of farming 
the most profitable; however, conditions 
are now confronted suggesting that gen¬ 
eral or mixed farming, involving the 
breeding and feeding of more and better 
live stock and poultry, has many advan¬ 
tages. This type of farming provides 
steady employment; enables the farmer 
easy, however, to substitute for the basic 
law of supply and demand. Zoning ship¬ 
ments and deliveries failed to solve the 
problem during the brief interval that 
the plan was in operation during the war 
period. The “eat more meat” campaign 
has focused the attention of the house¬ 
wife, while the “drink more milk” drive 
and the “spread your bread with butter” 
slogans have helped to emphasize the high 
food value of dairy products. It is unfor¬ 
tunate that there has been so little spread 
between the price of stockers and feeders 
and the selling price quoted for the fin¬ 
ished animals; likewise choice carcasses 
bring very little, if any, more than 
warmed-up butcher stuff that lacks in 
quality and finish. In reality, there has 
been no impetus for the feeder to feed out 
his meat animals and market them as 
prime or finished bullocks. Under or¬ 
dinary circumstances the heavier car¬ 
casses are exported, but with this outlet 
restricted there is a tendency on the part 
of the buyer to mark down values on 
heavy critters, even though ‘they are 
prime and in excellent condition for kill¬ 
ing. 
If I judge aright the American farmer 
This cow is kept on the public farm at South Easton, Massachusetts—the picture 
being taken in the barnyard. A fine specimen of a milk producer. 
to maintain the soil fertile; equalizes his 
labor load and provides him with the 
growers’ as well as the grain sellers’ 
profit. 
It is unfortunate that the finished pro¬ 
ducts obtained from live stock farmiug 
encounter such an unstable and fluctuat¬ 
ing market. There appears to be no good 
reason why beef cattle or pork or mutton 
should indulge in so many ups and downs. 
The daily price fluctuations are not re¬ 
flected over the butcher’s block where the 
various cuts of meat are distributed to 
the consumer; yet in a single week the 
quotations for live animals of similar fin¬ 
ish, condition and weight, may vary from 
30 to 25 per cent, or even more, at the 
stock yard markets. It is true that both 
the grain farmer and the stock feeder find 
it necessary to sell their surplus products 
during a relatively short marketing sea¬ 
son. In many cases the farmer does not 
have storage facilities, and frequently he 
must have the cash to meet his current 
obligations. The live stock feeder has 
very little choice in deciding when to 
market his meat animals. Either they 
are finished and ready for the butcher, 
else he has used up his surplus feed. It is 
often very expensive to try to hold over¬ 
ripe animals or overstay the market, for 
once animals are finished and ready for 
the block, additional gains are costly, and 
the feeder well knows what buyers do 
when extra heavy or overfed auimals are 
consigned for valuation. A very definite 
relationship prevails between live stock 
feeding and general farm practices; each 
step must be attended to in season if 
the farmer’s labor load is to be well bal- 
arfbed. It is manifestly easier to carry 
the surplus meat on the hooks rather than 
on the hoof; and much would he gained if 
a plan could be devised that would avoid 
overstocking the markets and thus pre¬ 
vent sudden breaks or declines. It is not 
is bound to adopt sooner or later many 
of the farming practices that prevail in 
the old country, involving mixed farming 
and more general live stock production. 
On most of the farms in England one finds 
a few horses, a few cattle, a few sheep 
and swine, with fewer breeds and types 
of animals. We find there, also, less 
cross-breeding and less indiscriminate 
mating; for the 'experienced stockman 
realizes that it is quality rather than 
numbers that guides one to the era of 
achievement in the production of farm 
animals. With existing freight rates the 
tendency will be to extend the field for 
profitable stock feeding and the tise and 
value of complete rations will he duly 
appreciated. If an animal is worth feed¬ 
ing at all it is worthy of a daily ration 
that will be both satisfying and nourish¬ 
ing, one that will meet every requirement 
for growth, maintenance and economical 
production. F. c. M. 
Training Horse for Speed 
I have a horse which I would like to 
train for more speed. Horse is, I think, 
about five years old, medium in size. He 
had no real breaking, but was just hitched 
beside a good leader to do farming and 
general hauling on the road. He is the 
best horse in the stable to make a good 
driver. He is fearless, and a good, will¬ 
ing traveler, but has no speed. As he is 
no pacer, how can I train him to pace? 
Ie there any book on the subject? R. S. 
Pennsylvania. 
In our opinion it will not pay you to 
waste time in trying to make a “cold- 
bred” horse speedy or a pacer. If you 
need a road hors* 1 , buy one that is bred 
for that business. °nd preferably one that 
has been trained to do the work. “Train¬ 
ing and Breaking of Horses,” by Harper,
