THERE’S H LITTLE
PART OF VAN DHLE
IN EVERV UNLQRDER...
ONLV ONE THfVTS GOT
IT HLL TOGETHER.
In 1950, we introduced the most
efficient silo unloadertothe market.
Simple, but efficient.
We’ve changed during the last 21
years. Added self-cleaning, wide
throat impellers for tough to handle
haylage. Dual, no-plug augers for
smooth silage movement. Depend
able, weather-sealed electrical sys
tems to prevent failures. And
numerous other performance-fea
ture “firsts.”
If you look around, you’ll find a
little part of VAN DALE in just about
every unloader...
But only Van Dale sells it all
together.

and cow 2 years and under 3;

If the pork you’re roasting
seems to remain pink even
though it should be well done, it is
still safe to eat. The pink comes
from a chemical reaction of the
gases in the oven with the meat.
The United States Department of
Agriculture says both electric
and gas ovens will cause this
reaction. The pork is perfectly
safe and good to eat
