MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



A SETTLED THING. 



Agricultural College, N. D., Oct. 6, 1903. 

 Gentlemen — I have used one of your * * * ensilage cutters for 

 several seasons and am well pleased with the grade of work it does. The 

 No. ig * * * self-feed ensilage cutters with blower elevator pur- 

 chased this season for use at the Agricultural College, has done its work 

 satisfactorily. 



I was doubtful at first about the blower attachment elevating the 

 green fodder 30 feet high into the silo. I find, however, that the only 

 trouble was to stop the ensilage when it reached the top, for when we 

 first started, it shot across and broke the dormer window on the opposite 

 side, 24 feet away. 



The ensilage cutter we used here before had an ordinary chain 

 elevator. Our silo at that time was only 20 feet high, but we had a great 

 deal of trouble with the "elevator. We were constantly having to stop 

 to repair or adjust it, but with your machine the only trouble is to get 

 the green corn to it fast enough. * * * 



Yours respectfully, 



J. H. Shepperd, 

 ' Dean and Vice Director.

Fifirure 18. This Is the rig Uiat filled 20 silos ia one season.
