JUST bolt on another bottom to expand your 2000
Senes Allis-Chalmers Monoframe plow. No need to
buy another plow when you buy a bigger tractor.
And that’s just one of the many fine features of these
rugged semi-mounted plows. There are no cross
braces to get in your way when you want to adjust a
coulter or change a plow blade. The frame is clean
and wide-open so you can walk right up to any'point
on the plow.
Plus, you have a choice of shear bolt, spring trip or
hydraulic reset stub beams and a complete selection
of coulters and bottoms to match soil conditions.
These Monoframe plows come in a 4-bottom size
that can be expanded to 5, and a 5-bottom size that
can be expanded to 6. Come and take a look at them.
You’ll see why Going Orange is Going Great.

This facility is for the older
calves and is designed to be a
minimum labor facility.
Hersbey estimates that he
spends only 30 minutes a day to
feed up to 40 head of heifers.
The Penn State experts noted
that the cost of a replacement
cow averages about $4OO. The
cost of raising a calf is ap
proximately $350.
The farmer, therefore, has to
weigh the advantages of
providing proper facilities for his
calves or to accept the mortality
rate and buy replacements.
It was pointed out that is should
be desirable for a farmer to raise
his own calves because he would
know the history of the cow which
gave birth to the calf and also
because when a dairyman buys a
cow he really is not 100 per cent
sure what be is getting.
County Agent Smith noted that
supplemental heat is not needed
in the calf area so that the cost
would involve only the
renovations of the calf raising
area.
