give life-time money 
making service. 
Few things you buy for 
the farm serve as long and 
for so little money as a 
Unadilla Silo. 
Year in and year out, they 
turn corn into succulent, eco¬ 
nomical, money saving feed. 
When properly erected and 
cared for, few wear out in a 
life-time. 
Now, more than ever, you 
need a Unadilla to make 
dairying or stock raising pro¬ 
fitable. This is a year to erect 
a silo if you are to both make 
and save money. 
There is yet time, before the 
corn crop is ready. Send for 
catalog of Unadilla, the silo 
so many successful dairymen 
own and swear by.

HARDER SILOS 
Cows will eat sour 
silage—but 
it’s not good for them and it doesn’t 
produce the n ilk. 
Silage gets acid/ without yourgknow- 
ing it, if the silo walls conduct away the 
heat during fermentation. 
Be sure of sweet silage with a Harder 
Silo. The smooth stave walls 
(the best non-conductors of 
heat) keep the cold out and 
the warmth in and allow 
perfect preservation.

Cementing Boiler for Tank; Sweet Clover 
Inoculation 
1. Could the head of a steam boiler 40 
in. diameter and 9 ft. long be cemented 
so. as to hold water? The flues of this 
boiler have been removed, and we think 
that if we could put a cement head in it 
to close up the flue boles it would make a 
good water tank. 2. Where can we get 
inoculation for Sweet clover? F. L. F. 
Homerville, O. 
1. Without seeing the boiler it is diffi¬ 
cult to state just what can be done with 
it. It is probable that the idea is to use 
the boiler horizontally as a tank, and 
that it was originally a horizontal boiler. 
Without seeing the boiler it seems that 
it might be possible to bury it and by 
means of a form build a concrete wall 
around each end that would hold for grav¬ 
ity pressure alone. If the idea is to use 
this as a hydro-pneumatic tank and sub¬ 
mit it to air pressure I would expect that 
trouble would be encountered. 
2. In regard to the clover inoculation, 
try your State College of Agriculture. I 
think that they will be able to supply 
you. Our College of Agriculture at Cor¬ 
nell University has had Alfalfa inocula¬ 
tion right along, and I think inoculation 
for other legumes as well. No doubt your 
Farm Bureau manager could help you in 
obtaining this. R. H. s.
