floors immediately.
MARTIN’S BARN-DRI also helps prevent
costly animal 1 >ss by reducing slipping when floors
are wet.
Use MARTIN’S BARN-DRI for all animals
cattle, hogs, horses, chickens, pets, others. Scatter
by hand or shovel. Buy by the bag or ton.

You can rake at fourth-gear
speeds without “beating” the
leaves off the hay with this
rake. Right-angle raking ac- -
tion moves the hay a shorter 1
distance into the windrow
about half the distance'of or
dinary rakes. There’s no
dragging or excess tumbling.
Windrows are fast-drying,
baler-ready. Come in and
talk with us about it today!
