Easy to Use 
A Silo is in use twice daily 
for 6 or 7 months. Conveni¬ 
ence and labor and time 
saving is important. 
In a Unadilla, silage is 
shoved out at the door 
level. Gravity carries it 
“like water over a dam”. 
The air and water-tight 
doors cannot stick. There 
is, therefore, no pitching 
of tons of silage overhead. 
The door fasteners form a 
permanent safety 
|[M|k ladder — conveni- 
ent, secure.

UNADILLA 
SILOS 
December, 1921, shows an increase of 
36c a hundred, or about three-quarters 
of a cent a quart. Again the average 
December price for 10 years preced¬ 
ing 1016, when the League first began 
to operate, was $1.68, on a basis of 3 
per cent milk at the 200 mile freight 
zone. Again the comparison is in our 
favor, although it is impossible to de¬ 
termine exactly just what part of this 
difference in price may be due to the 
general price levels to-day compared 
with 1916. But to go a step further 
to substantiate the claim for the re¬ 
sult of organization, we submit the 
following New York pre-war prices of 
December, 1913, compared with Decem¬ 
ber, 1922:

This again shows 
that the price oi 
pooled members are receiving for their 
December milk is 169 per cent of what 
the farmers received before the war 
and before the League was in opera¬ 
tion. Also the percentages prove that 
milk has increased in far higher per¬ 
centage than has the above list of 
staple farm products. This indicates 
that the great financial handicap under 
which our members are laboring at the 
present time is not due entirely to the 
low price received for milk, but to 
the still lower price received for most 
of our staple farm products and the 
continued high prices of practically 
everything we must purchase. 
These comparisons indicate progress. 
These milk prices prove the advantage 
of cooperatively marketing our milk 
and remove any question of doubt as 
to the necessity, if we are going to 
continue to progress, of standing by 
the organization. 
Conditions are daily looking brighter, 
and regardless;' of reports by those 
antagonistic to the League as to the 
possible number of February with¬ 
drawals there is no question in the 
minds of your officers but that these re¬ 
ports are greatly over-estimated and 
that the situation, so far as the 
League is concerned, looks brighter 
than it has for a long time. 
SHIPPING MIIK BY TANK CARS 
Considerable interest is developing 
in milk sections in the use of tank cars 
for carrying milk and cream. These 
cars have several containers, each hold¬ 
ing approximately 646 gallons. The 
containers are so insulated that there 
is little variation in temperature, no 
matter what the weather is. 
Recently in sending a car of milk 
from New York to the National Dairy 
Show the temperature of the milk pame 
up only two degrees in a trip of sixty 
hours. Arrangements are made so that 
the containers can be lifted by cranes 
from the car and loaded on trucks to 
be taken to the bottling stations. It is 
claimed that the use of tank cars will 
save trucking, freight rates and much 
labor, and that we may expect a consid¬ 
erable development of this means of 
transporting milk. It is predicted that 
the area from which each city gets its 
milk will be widened. 
COW TESTING ASSOCIATION 
KEEPS COSTS DOWN 
On July 1, 1922, there were in opera¬ 
tion _ in the United States 513 Cow 
Testing Associations, including 12,458 
herds and 215,321 cows. Wisconsin 
and Minnesota, two of the largest dairy 
states, showed great gains in testing 
associations. During the year the num¬ 
ber in Wisconsin grew from 103 to 127. 
Incidentally, these two states are pro¬ 
gressing very rapidly in all dairy mat¬ 
ters, including their methods of mar¬ 
keting dairy products. Eastern dairy¬ 
men have got to watch their step to 
meet this high-class competition of 
the West. 
One of the ways to meet competition 
is to keep the cost of production down. 
There is no better way of doing this 
than in keeping records in Cow Testing 
Associations, or otherwise, to find out 
what each individual cow of the dairy 
is doing. 
How do

Why is it that there ^ are approximately as many De Lavals 
in use to-day as all •* other makes of separators combined? 
For just one reason, which is based on tne actual experience 
of several millions of users over a period of forty years, who have 
found it the most satisfactory, in that it skims cleaner, lasts longer 
and is easier to operate and clean than any other. 
Of the best creameries use 
De Laval Separators'^, 
The creameryman knows the best cream 
separator. Practically all of them use Da 
Lavals. "^hy? Because they have found by 
testing the skim-milk, and by experience, that 
the De Laval is the most profitable. They 
know that a poor separator can soon waste all 
their profit and that a De Laval soon pays for 
itself. The De Laval you use is built on the 
same principle as the creameryman’s, 
Of the exhibitors at the National 
Daio^Show use De Laval Separatois 
At‘ the 1922 National Dairy Exposition an 
investigation among the exhibitors of purebred 
dairy cattle disclosed the fact that 86% of them 
use De Laval Separators. These exhibitors of 
purebred dairy cattle are the cream of the 
world’s best dairymen—they know the best 
separator and use it. Butter made from De 
Laval cream also won first place in every class. 
Of the Separates in the leacfing 
butter state are De Lavals - ° 
More butter is made and more cream separa¬ 
tors are used in Minnesota than in any other 
state. According to an investigation by a prom¬ 
inent farm paper, 64% of the cream separators 
in Minnesota are De Lavals—almost two out of 
every three. A remarkable record—which sim¬ 
ply drives home the fact that the more people 
know about separators, the more they appre» 
date De Laval, 
Of all cream Separators are 
De LavalS'x. 
—according to an investigation by a group of 
prominent farm papers of wide circulation. 
There are, still, many inefficient and worn-out 
separators in use today which are wasting 
enough butter-fat to pay for new De Lavals. 
Get the most out of your butter-fat with a new 
De Laval. See your De Laval Agent or write us.

'‘Molasses 
a Feed” 
More Milk 
Molasses adds materially to the palata- 
bility of the ration fed to dairy cows. And 
that means the cows enjoy their food 
more — get more nourishment out of it — 
and that results naturally in more milk. 
And for horses, hogs and sheep molasses 
is just as palatable, just as valuable. The 
price of good molasses is very low now.
