The value of silage and the economy , of this method of saving the corn1 crop have long since 1 passed the experimental stage; and no man who feeds any considerable . number of either beef or dairy cattle can afford to be without a silo. ; ' : ": - - :;:"y-""::- "-"L : -vr ' . '; . " -:--'.' - Of, course every farmer does not need one. ' Most farmers do not because they have not stock enough to justify the expense of build ing one , but there are dozens of farmers in our territory who. have stock enough now to make a silo a highly profitable investment, and there are hundreds of others who should have stock enough to male it pay them to build one.; It is for these farmers that we put up this, guide post ; and we believe it may help point the way out for many who think it is worth nothing to them; Too many Southern farmers are accustomed to regard a grea't many things which they might have as entirely out of their reach. With better methods there is no reason why good stock, up-to-date machinery, modern farm conveniences should not be as common as they are now uncommon. We trust no reader will be willing to decide that the com harvester and the silo can be of no interest to him. These things, and the more profitable farming which will buy them, must come to the South. In some. other sections they are the rule and not the exception; and the day is coming when they will be in the South also. This is pur faith, and to this end our efforts are directed. Should not every Southern form er be willing to. do his part in bringing such things to pass? - " :;;vj;; ;';v- :;-:V ;-' Index to This Issue. b Advantacres of a Silo A Silo Worth $8.20 a Day, J.'H.
