Horizontal Silo Unloader
Is Developed By U.S.D.A.
An experimental unloader, S. Department of Agricul
dcveloped by Federal State lure reported today Un’oad
research, may point the way mg devices that handle silage
to automatic handling and from horizontal silos arc
toed mg of silage to livestock available, but they are not
from horizontal silos, the U fully automatic.
Dried Honey
New Process Retains Flavor
Dried honey, a new pro
duct resulting from a drying
process devised by U S De
partment of Agriculture re
search engineers, gives bak
ers and candy makers an op
portunity to use this whole-
some sweetener to a greater
extent than ever before,
When reconstituted with
water, diied honey has sub
stantially the flavor of fresh
liquid honey, and its free
flowing granular form pro-
Andes new convenience and
economy in handling
_ This product is expected
to increase the use of honey,
especially in baking The
stickiness of liquid honey
and its tendency to crystall
i2e have so far limited its
use by bakers
Dried honey may also be
used in packaged baking
in ixcs, for extra sales appeal
and to give homemakers a
convenient means of using
honey in baking Honey adds
to the flavor, color, texture,
aroma, and keeping quality
of baked goods
The process used to dry
honey is essentially the
same as that for preparing
full flavor juice powders, de
veloped a feiv years ago by
the Eastern Utilization Re
search and Development Di
vision of USDA’s Agricultur
al Research Service, at Phil
adelphia, Pa.
It consists of vacuum-dehy
drating liquid honey rapidly,
in a mechanically agitated
thm-film evaporator, to yield
a molten mass nearly free of
Avater This molten material
is then fed between two chil
led metal rol'ers which
squeeze it into a thin sheet
while cooling it to room tem
peiaturc
The sheet is taken from
the chilling rolls in the form
of brittle flakes, which arc

ground into a course powder
suitable for packing in seal

drying process requires only
a few seconds, most of the
original honey flavor is re

Storage tests show that
dried honey will retain its
flavor and color for a year at
normal room temperture.
COLLEGE STUDY SHOWS
VENT-O-MATIC
Is "Most Efficient"!
There's a BIG DIFFERENCE in ventilating equip
ment
Studies at CORNELL show that one 36-inch “Vent-O-
Matic de’ivering 10,000 cu ft of air per minute (air
for 2500 average birds) costs $47 30 per year for pow
er, compared with $7B 15 for the next most efficient
system Others cost from $147 58 up to $260 16 for
power on the same size job
COULD YOU USE 8 1/2 CENTS PER BIRD
EXTRA A YEAR?
Total operating costs (including depreciation) put Vent-
O-Matic ahead by a wide margin Prof. C N Turner
of Corne'l says “In a large house (8500 birds) the dif
ference in opeiatmg cost could be as much as $7OO a
year . . The efficiency of the motor and fan assembly
can bo more important than the purchase price ’’
Before you buy get an air-delivery rating . . . and
you”! buy “Vent-O-Matic” You’ll like its smooth,

The experimental machine,
which has not yet been made
completely automatic, was
developed during tests of
various methods and devices
for mechanical handling of
silage in horizontal or trench
type silos.
In initial tests in which a
blower and pipe were used
for* conveying, the machine
unloaded oat-pea silage at
the rate of 40 pounds a min
ute, and com silage at the
rate of 125 pounds a minute
when the blower-pipe con
veyor was replaced .by end
less chain and crossbar-type
conveyor.
Basically, the* unloader
comprises a 12-foot hydraulic
lift and auger assembly
mounted on a rubber-tired
undercarriage The auger is
9 inches in diameter and is
driven by a motor fitted with
a speed reducing unit The
hydraulic-lift system operates
the auger and a conveyor.
