A Few Easy Payments from Milk 
Check Makes New Silo Pay Its Own Way 
'Until we have booked our factory capacity for 
1924, we will ship to responsible buyers their new 
Green Mountain Silo for a small payment on de¬ 
livery—and a similar amount monthly for a few 
months. With this liberal plan you cannot afford 
to get along without a silo—or to manage with less 
capacity than you need. By providing better silage 
at lower cost your new Green Mountain will be 
paid for almost before you know it. 
BUT — send your orderin early. Factory capa¬ 
city is limited and this special plan may have to be 
withdrawn early. 
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN 
A Lifelong Silo 
For years the Green Mountain has been the 
choice of those who looked deeply into the silo 
question. Here is a silo not built to fit a price, 
but to give a long lifetime of perfect, sweet milk¬ 
making silage at a low feed cost. 
CREOSOTED STAVES. The 
heavy, carefully matched 
Creen Mountain* staves are 
dipped in creosote preserva¬ 
tive. No painting required. 
Looks fine; wears well. 
EXTRA HEAVY HOOPS. 
Green Mountain hoops are 
extra Thcavy, with oversize 
threads. 
SAFE LIKE DOORS. Multi¬ 
ple door bearings'—like you

see on a safo or refrigerator 
door. 
WOODEN RUNG LADDER. 
No Iron to frost the fingers 
when you climb your Green 
Mountain silo. 
RED GAMBREL ROOF. Cives 
handsome appearance, extra 
capacity and long life. 
REINFORCED ANCHORAGE 
SYSTEM. Novel anchorage 
prevents sagging or warping. 
Save One Whole Payment by OrderingWithin30Days 
Because we must plan steady production throughout the 
year, we make a special inducement for early orders. On 
orders sent within 30 days from now we will, deduct entirely 
the first payment. Write us today, stating number of cows, 
and we will send all information, booklets, etc., by return 
mail. You will see there are no strings whatever to this lib¬ 
eral monthly payment plan.

Red Seal Lye is a big help to the 
farmer in peeling fruit. By putting fruit 
in a wire basket and then lowering it into 
a hot Red Seal Lye solution for thirty

cool water, the skins are loosened and 
may be washed off easily. 
Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Pig Feeding Questions 
I have purebred Duroc Jerseys. I have 
my hogs in a dry lot and a self-feeder in 
the stable. There is also good spring wa¬ 
ter flowing through one end of the lot, 
v here they can go to at will. Besides, 
there is also a self-feeder in the stable 
which contains equal parts of salt and 
pulverized oyster shells. A local veter¬ 
inarian told me the oyster shells were su¬ 
perior to ground limestone. The rank 
and file of my pigs always weigh 200 lbs. 
and some better at six months. But here 
is where the trouble comes in ; our local 
butchers always claim that they are too 
fat. Especially during the Summer 
months. Would it be a paying proposi¬ 
tion to sow corn with the grain drill in 
the Spring, and after it is 18 in. tall 
start cutting it every day and run it 
through a corn fodder cutter and throw 
it on a cement feeding floor, and some of 
the hog ration on top? Thereby they 
would eat the grain and the young corn 
alike, which to my mind would keep 
them growing and still not get them too 
fat. I have six brood sows which will 
farrowed during the forepart of April. I 
only have 54 acres, therefore I cannot 
have the pigs run out in the fields and 
help themselves. Owing to the scarcity 
of corn I am feeding at present 90 lbs. 
ground rye and 10 lbs. GO per cent di¬ 
gester tankage. Rye is 80c for 60 lbs. 
What is a good mixture for brood sows 
just before and after farrowing? Or. 
what do you think of a commercial feed? 
A local dealer asked me $63 a ton. 
Pennsylvania. j. w. b. 
As we have repeatedly stated, a dis¬ 
tinction should be made between the ra¬ 
tions intended for growing pigs and those 
intended for fattening hogs just previous 
to marketing. If you would provide some 
Alfalfa hay and make this available not 
only to your brood sows, but to your 
growing pigs weighing less than 100 lbs., 
the chances are £hat you would correct 
the complaint which your butcher makes 
to the effect that your pigs carry an un¬ 
due amount of fat. Most likely you do 
not distinguish between the growing pe¬ 
riod and the fattening period, and pigs 
that are kept on the self-feeder during the 
early stages of their development meet 
just the conditions you have complained 
of. For this reason some feeders doubt 
the advisability of providing pigs with 
the self-feeder during their growing 
stages. 
It would be desirable if you could pro¬ 
vide some forage crops of rape and Soy 
beans, oats and Canada field peas, or com¬ 
binations of this character, and so make 
it possible for the pigs to have the run of 
this field during their growing period. In 
this event you could limit the feed to 2% 
lbs. of tankage for each 100 lbs. of live 
weight. After the pigs weigh 100 lbs. 
you could put them on full feed and force 
them to maturity. 
The use of green corn, as you suggest, 
would be highly relished by the pigs, 
though it would not correct the condition 
you complain of; but when we realize 
that one can obtain more pounds of dry 
matter from corn than from any other 
crop produced, your plan has its merits. 
However, it would not be necessary to 
run the green corn through the cutter, 
for the pigs will eat practically all of the 
green corn if it is supplied to them fresh 
each day. 
As to whether it is possible to substi¬ 
tute rye entirely for corn, I would say 
that this is permissible for fattening or 
marketing hogs, but the rye cannot re¬ 
place corn for your brood sows. The ad¬ 
dition of some molasses to the rye and 
the tankage would increase its palata- 
bility and increase its usefulness for 
brood sows previous to farrowing. 
I like the idea of letting them have 
plenty of clover or Alfalfa hay, eliminat¬ 
ing their corn, and substituting if pos¬ 
sible some ground oats and standard mid¬ 
dlings for a portion of the corn. The 
disadvantage of corn at this stage is the 
fact that it is apt to put them in too high 
condition and not to provide them with 
enough protein or a variety of protein. 
It is necessary at all times where pigs 
have access to self-feeders to provide them 
with a mineral mixture. The ground 
oyster shell will serve very well; but ex¬ 
periments at the Ohio Experiment Sta¬ 
tion indicate that equal parts of ground 
limestone, bonemeal and salt appear to 
meet every condition that growing ani¬ 
mals demand. The ground oyster shell
