Pay for Your Silo 
From Extra Profits 
Most Libera! Terms Ever Offered to Sito Owners 
Y OU can now secure the famous Harder Silo, equip¬ 
ped with the new Harder-Victor Front on terms 
that will make the silo pay for itself through feed saved 
and increased milk flow. 
A small cash payment will put a Harder Silo upon the farm of 
any responsible farmer. The remaining payments may be spread 
over an entire year. If you have put off buying a silo because of 
the cost, investigate the Harder now and pay for it out of the extra 
profits from your dairy. 
Never before have you been offered an opportunity to get a 
high-grade silo on such liberal terms. You cannot afford to longer 
put off owning this money-saving and money-making piece of 
farm equipment. 
The Hew Harder Better Than Ever 
The Harder is air-tight and stays air-tight. It is made of se¬ 
lected grades of the best silo woods —especially treated to give 
long life. The first silos, erected in 1897, are still making money 
for their owners after more than twenty-five years service. 
The new Harder-Victor Front provides an absolutely air-tight 
continuous door that remains permanently in the silo—a great 
convenience as every feeder knows. This magnificent door is built 
up in layers —will not buckle. A single movement of the hand 
locks it securely into place. 
The Harder is easy to put together, you can do the work your¬ 
self, saving the cost of erection. John T. Schang, Yorkshire, N.Y., 
writes: “The silo is a dandy. I put her up alone; everything went 
together fine. The roof and all present a fine appearance.”

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Filled Milk 
What is filled milk, and why is it made 
when milk is so cheap? C. w. E. 
New York. . 
When butter fat is taken out of whole 
milk, or in other words when milk is 
skimmed and a cheap fat is mixed or in¬ 
corporated with the skim-milk, the new 
mixture is called filled milk. 
The cheap fat used is usually cocoa- 
nut oil, costing about nine cents a pound, 
and the purpose is to pass the bogus 
mixture off on consumers as the genuine 
milk, or when its real mixture is ad¬ 
mitted as something just as good. It is 
well known, however, that these cheap 
vegetable oils do not contain the vitamines 
or vitalizing properties necessary to ani¬ 
mal and human life which are found in 
butter fats and whole milk. 
Apple Pomace for Dairy Feed 
Several years since a friend owning 
property directly across the street from 
ours erected a cider mill intending to 
manufacture vinegar commercially. It 
not proving remunerative, he quit the 
business and continued the mill simply 
for custom work. lie tried to induce my¬ 
self and my son to look up the value of 
the pomace as a fertilizer, but we were 
not impressed. As the business became 
lighter he moved one of his large storage 
tanks nearer his mill and converted it 
into a silo to care for the waste. The 
pomace was taken by a carrier as it left 
the press and dumped into this silo. Still 
nobody seemed to care to haul it away as 
a food for stock and the quantity ac¬ 
cumulated. 
Last Spring we rented our farm to a 
man who had for a number of years been 
our assistant on the farm, a practical 
farmer. Being short of corn silage last 
Fall he turned his attention to the 
pomace food. He soon found his cows 
would eat the pomace about as well as 
corn silage. As he fed it down until he 
came to what was stored in 1922 he 
found the product in a complete state of 
preservation after 6 or 8 inches were 
removed, and that the cows still ate it 
as well as before. I have had no experi¬ 
ence in keeping corn silage over a Sum¬ 
mer, but I am sure it could not be kept 
in a better state than the pomace. If 
kept from the air it seems to keep in¬ 
definitely. 
As to its feeding value, the farmer 
thinks it ranks well up with corn. He 
feeds a large scoop shovel of it to each 
cow twice a day, with about one pound of 
grain for each three pounds of milk ex¬ 
pected from the cow. Ilis roughage is 
good, consisting of mixed clover and Tim¬ 
othy, with a large sprinkling of Alfalfa. 
He has not yet opened his corn silo and 
still has quite a lot of pomace at least 
two years old. l*ou do not have to pack 
it hard in the silo ; just level it off and 
it will pack itself and keep indefinitely. 
To get it from the silo a strong manure 
fork is used. g. a. b. 
New York. 
I noticed an inquiry about' feeding 
apple pomace, and will give my experi¬ 
ence with it. Apple pomace may be put 
in a silo with as good results as corn. 
The silo should be protected from the 
cold as the pomace freezes very easily 
and if there is frost in it, it is not safe 
to feed as it will cause scours and other 
intestinal disorders. My silo is inside 
the barn with hay on three sides so does 
not freeze. I think it would be imprac¬ 
ticable to fill an ordinary stave silo "with 
pomace if it were situated outside and 
the temperature much below freezing for 
long periods. 
The sooner it is put into the silo after 
pressing the better. I throw it into the 
silo with a shovel right from the wagon 
as my silo runs clear to the barn cellar, 
and I do not fill it any higher than I can 
easily throw from a wagon in the barn 
floor. I tread each load and smooth it 
off. I have never fed it in Summer. It 
always keeps perfectly until gone. Don't 
have too large a silo ; 10x24 will feed 20 
cows through the Winter; 35 lbs. per dav 
is about right for a large cow, an ordi¬ 
nary shovel is the only tool necessary. 
I feed twice a day and throw the ~”ain 
on the pomace. I think as a feed it is 
equal to corn silage. w, c. d.

We had January thaws most of the 
month, with the exception of a few days, 
when the mercury went below the cipher. 
We had no sleighing up to Jan. 31; the 
fields are as bare as in November. Late- 
sown wheat is taking it hard. Very little 
ice has been secured as yet on Canan¬ 
daigua Lake. Farmers and grangers are 
aroused on the school question, largely 
attended meetings voting against the bill. 
Auctions are being held and many 
changes being made. Farmers busy do¬ 
ing their chores and finding means to pay
