As a beef operator you're interested in maximizing
your profit picture. You're looking for new ideas, new
methods and new innovations that will help “beef up"
your profit. Here’s a program worth looking into. It's
called “Van Dale Systems Feeding.” It starts with
maximizing your production of total digestible nutri
ents with increased haylage and silage. This permits
the best use of your land and cattle coupled with a
fully mechanized feeding system. Van Dale has the
equipment and know-how for maximizing profits
through mechanized feeding
FORAGE BOXES
So let's bring it in from the field with a Van Dale
Forage Box. These rugged built units are
equipped with exclusive auger-type “beaters”
that deliver all kinds of forage under all kinds
of conditions. No clogging at the blower, as
the forage is metered between the augers
—not over the top!
SILAGE DISTRIBUTORS
Van Dale distributors insure even
silage distribution throughout
the silo for a maximum fill

revolving deflector plate
diverts the explosive force
of incoming material and
spreads it evenly in a con

to the wall. The 538 oper
ates in an elliptical
motion, directing forage
to the outside walls of
the silo. Varied spout
rotation speed allows for
even fills
SILO UNLOADERS
There’s a Van Dale unloader for
every feeding application. These high
performance twin-auger units can handle
virtually any silage or haylage under the most
adverse conditions... frozen, gummy or what
have you, and do it fast. The 1230 has been
customer-certified in the field to outperform,
and outlast any make its size. For hard work in
smaller silos there's the 1020 F. The Industrial is
built for silos from 20 to 40 feet in d lameter and
has a capacity up to 40 tons per hour.

Treat Horses for Parasites
Late fall is the time to treat
horses for hots—the internal
parasites that can severely
damage or even kill your animal,
according to Dr. Robert C.
Hammond, Extension
veterinarian at the University of
Maryland’s College Park cam
pus.
“The grubs of the hot fly are
now in the horses’ intestines, but
they are still very small and have
not caused much damage yet,’’
he explains.
“If you saw hot eggs (similar in
appearance to grass seed) on
your horse’s forelegs or mouth
area during the summer or early

your horse has hots now.”
By late winter, these hots will
be large grubs more than an inch
long and %-inch in diameter. At
this size they rob the horse of
needed food and nourishment and
cause serious damage to the
walls of the stomach. Large
numbers may prevent passage of
food and cause recurrent colic or
even death.
A symptom of a mild hot in
fection is a poor-doing animal. If
the horse does not look or act
quite as healthy as you think he
should, hots may be the problem.
modem recordkeeping system,”
Irwin said.
Many features are offered by
the program, he said, including:
1. A periodic cash flow of
receipts and expenses which is
very valuable for planning and
obtaining credit.
2. A complete and accurate
printed copy of the depreciation
schedule ready for mailing with
the tax return. This saves time
and costly errors.
3. An' itemized summary of
farm income and expenses for
simplified income tax planning
and reporting.
4. A farm business analysis
report which provides a net worth
statement for borrowing money
