Your confidence is what
Studehaker seeks to keep
Possessing this confidence, we have never
tried to produce a cheap wagon. We could, but
we don t dare try the experiment. Our constant
aim has been to produce the best wagon.
And in living up to this highest standard, we have
won and hold—the confidence and good-will of
hundreds of thousands of farmers all over the world.
Studebaker wagons are built to last, to do a day’s
work every day, to stand up under stress and strain
and to make the name Studebaker stand for all
that is best in vehicles.
Don t accept any other wagon represented to be
just as good as a Studebaker. I he substitute may be
cheaper, but it isn’t up to Studebaker standards, and
you can’t afford to buy it.
For business or pleasure, there is a Studebaker vehicle
suited to your requirements. Farm wagons, trucks, business wagons,
surreys, buggies, runabouts, pony carriages — each the best of its
kind. Harness also—of the same high Studebaker standard.

| wilt make valuable ensilage, there is
nothing (guile so. good and «o v aluable
us corn and the grain eorgbums. Ordi-
narily for each five bushels of .corn that
a field w.’U yield it will make a ton of
ensilage. The corn from a thirty-bus-
hel field would be worth, at fifty cents,
fifteen dollars, while the ensilage from
the same field would be worth twice as
much. So, besides being a means of
supplying green food to s ock, the silo
is also a means of adding very material-
ly to the value of the feed stuff, and
also of utilizing the cornstalks that
constitute forty per cent of the value
of a cornfield, and than are too often
lost. Again, it coats less to save ensil
age than to save the crop in any other
form. At the same time a man with a
silo is independent of the weather. He
can fill his silo while the rain is pour-
ing down. On the other hand, should
there be danger of losing his crop from
dry weather, he can cut it and place it
in the silo and so save it. Corn makes
the best ensilage when cut after it is
well glazed, but it can be cut at any
time during its growth and will still
make valuable feed. The farmers of
Texas therefore cannot afford to furth-
er neglect this means of adding to the
value of their feed crops.—Texas In-
Congress.
