It's Just Silo the " to Fill a Two men and three boys--or girls--* or*; old men--can fill a 100 ton silo in IS hours. And that's just half the crew to pay, feed and house, as compared to the old way of silo filling. Only one-half tUf teams to hire or work. It's so easy--no lifting or pitching of ~®aviy» green corn bundles--no backbreaking labor connected with the entire operation, The "Ronning" does it all--the gathering, pitching, picking, cutting and loading into the wagon ready for the silo. It picks up any land of corn--tali* short, thick, thin, drilled, checked, weedy, or down and tangled. Even corn mixed with soy beans and vines can tar easily harvested with a "Ronning." silage. The corn stalks never touch the ground, nor are they exposed to the sun except for a moment, from the time they are cut off in the field until they are delivered into the silo. - No twine is used--no poisonous or in-* digestible twine stubs in the silage to cause sickness or disease. The saving of twine itself is a big item to be considered. rT-- "Ronning" makes the farmer ia-. dependent--less de-pendent, upon hired help--at just the time when men are scarce and wages high. If you have never seen the "Ronning" work, ask your dealer where there is one. If he can't tell you, write us. And yon get cleaner and better ^ »Worth gomg mile, to ««.
