HUMOROUS 
“I see they have operated on a Phila¬ 
delphia boy’s head in order to make a 
better boy of him.” “That isn’t where 
my dad used to operate on me to make 
a better boy of me.”-—Houston Post. 
“He had everything made over in his 
wife’s name before he failed.” “Well, 
what makes him so gloomy?” “She 
eloped with the principal creditor.”—The 
Chicago Record-Herald. 
Grouch : “There goes a man who 
robbed me of a large fortune.” Gink: 
“He robbed you of a fortune, and still 
he is enjoying his liberty!” Grouch: 
“Not by a darned sight! He married 
the rich widow I was after.”—Judge. 
“Has the toilet soap come?” inquired 
Mrs. Jimpson. “Yes’m,” replied the new 
maid; “I put it on your dresser.” “Was 
it scented?” “No’m, it wasn’t sented. I 
went to the drug store myself, and brung 
it.”—Springfield Union. 
“Is this well water?” asked the passer¬ 
by, pausing for a drink at the farmhouse. 
“Wa-al,” said Hiram, “I reckon it’s as 
well as it kin be expected to be, consid¬ 
erin’ it’s been druv where the caow-shed 
mostly dreens into it.”—Credit Lost. 
“Yes,” said the dealer, “I have cows to 
sell. What kind of a cow do you want?” 
“Oh—I don’t know,” said the amateur. 
“I guess one with four legs and a couple 
of horns will do.”—Melbourne Austral¬ 
asian. 
“Don’t go near that old fellow in the 
pasture, sonny,” the farmer warned the 
fresh-air child. “He’s terribly fierce.’ 
“I tried him out a’ready,” the lad re¬ 
plied. “lie ain’t half as fierce as an auto¬ 
mobile in the city. Got any bears or 
lions around here?”—Buffalo Express. 
Riggs (facetiously) : “This is a pic¬ 
ture of my wife’s first husband.” Diggs: 
“Silly looking guy! But say, I didn’t 
know your wife was married before she 
met you.” Riggs: “She wasn’t. This 
is a picture of myself when I was twenty- 
five.”—Boston Transcript. . 
A paper received from a reader the 
following query: “What do you think 
is the matter with my hens? Every 
morning when I go to feed them I find 
that two or three are lying on their 
backs, stiff as buckrams.” The editor’s re¬ 
ply was to the point: “We are afraid 
that your hens are dead.”—Credit Lost. 
Tiie portly lady had accidentally taken 
a rear seat in a tramcar reserved for 
smokers. With unconcealed indignation 
she watched the man beside her fill his 
pipe. “Sir,” finally came her frigid 
tones, “smoking always makes me feel 
sick.” “Do it now, ma’am?” said the 
man, as he carefully lighted up; “then 
take my advice an’ chuck it!”—Tit-Bits. 
“I’m going to have my boy begin at 
the bottom and work up,” said the mil¬ 
lionaire. “I presume you intend to start 
Mm in as an office boy, then.” “Exact¬ 
ly.” “Shall I put him on the pay-roll at 
the regular office boy’s salary?” “No, I 
wouldn’t do that. You’d better start him 
in at about $100 a week. The boy’s sim¬ 
ply got to have a little pocket money.”— 
Detroit Free Press. 
Literary Lady (writing) : The most 
essential point in our intercourse with 
children is to be truthful ourselves. Every 
other interest, ought to be sacrificed to 
that of truth.” Tommy: “Ma, Mrs. Cal¬ 
ler is coming in at the gate.” Literary 
Lady (angrily) : “If she asks for me tell 
her I’m out of town. (She resumes writ¬ 
ing.) When we in any way deceive a 
child we not only set a pernicious exam¬ 
ple, but also lose our influence over him 
forever.”—Tit-Bits.

Ir^tsilage Cutter 
The story of the original ensilage cutter. Tells how 
it leif in its field for 40 years — tells of the inven¬ 
tion, 15 years ago, of the wonderful Blizzard with 
its wind elevator principle—and how it 
MADE HIGH SILOS POSSIBLE 
The first practical ensilage cutter was built 
40 years ago by Joseph Dici. This cutter, 
and, in fact, alkcutters built during the 25 
years which followed, were of the endless 
chain carrier type. 
Fifteen years ago, farmers began to use 
higher, bigger silos. For filling these silos 
chain carrier cutters were not practical. To 
reach the top of a high silo meant too big an 
investment in carrier; also, meant a 
cumbersome affair to handle. 
The problem was solved by Joseph 
Dick. He invented a machinethat not 
only cut up fodder quicker and better 
than anything of the past, but set up 
a strong current of air which easily 
carried the cut material to the top 
of the highest silo and distributed it 
evenly on the inside. 
n§ 
m 
use a Blizzard is never run over 900 to 1400 
revolutions per minute. Long use has 
proved them absolutely safe. 
Tighten the Burrs on Six Bolts and the 
Blizzard Is Ready to Run 
The Blizzard is shipped in two parts—(1) 
the case just mentioned which carries the 
knives, and (2) the feed rolls. Each part is 
complete. The two fit together in just one 
I way. No trouble at all to set up a Blizzard 
and only a few minutes’ work. You can't go 
Wrong. 
No other cutter is so simply contrived. 
Some ensilage cutters as shipped, remind 
one of the cut-up puzzles you sometimes see. 
A lot of small pieces must be fitted together. 
Takes a lot of study and work. Many times 
they are put together wrong and something 
goes to smash when the power is turned on. 
To Adjust Outlet Pipe Loosen Two Burrs 
The outlet pipe of the Blizzard can be ad¬ 
justed to carry in any direction, by loosening 
two burrs. A similar adjustment on other 
The Blizzard Named Itself — So Did Its 
Imitators , 
The Blizzard actually named itself. Feed 
fodderinto it without the outlet pipe in place 
and you have a regular little blizzard of cut 
feed. Hence the name. When imitating 
manufacturers sought to share the success 
of the Blizzard, they chose names for their 
imitating cutters which they hoped might 
be mistaken for the Blizzard. You will find 
all kinds of stormy weather names among 
the list of imitations. 
Don’t be Misled—a Similar Named 
Machine Won’t Give You the Advantages 
of the Blizzard 
In inventing the Blizzard, Mr. Dick used 
ideas that others are prevented from using, 
because of patent protection. He also built 
a more simple and efficient machine than 
anyone else has been able to build. 
In fact, many other ensilage cutters are 
built along lines tried out by us and aban¬ 
doned for something better. 
The Blizzard Is Self-Contained — All in a 
Case—Like a Watch 
You can stand the machine on its side, up¬ 
side down, put it in any position — and you 
cannot interfere with its inside arrangement. 
The wheel which generates the draft, carries 
the cutting knives—all inside the case. The 
Blizzard is a fool-proof machine. Nothing 
gets out of whack — a ten-year-old boy can 
understand it and run it. 
An Unusually Safe Machine 
All working parts are covered by the steel 
case. The gears are also covered. Nothing 
from the outside can get in. To guard against 
any danger from defective material each 
finished Blizzard is given a severe working 
trial at the factory and 
Tested Under a Speed of 2,500 
Revolutions per Minute 
Never has a Blizzard broken down under 
this test. They are made too good. In actual 
n i 
1 ( XX 
r'V 
machines means removing the rim sections 
and putting them on again in a new position. 
A job for a mechanic. 
The knives of the Blizzard are extra 
strong. They can be adjusted to or from the 
shear plate while machine is running full 
speed. The knives of the Blizzard are easily 
replaced after being removed for sharpening. 
To do this in other machines, is a test of me¬ 
chanical skill. Something like taking a watch 
apart and trying to put it back together. 
The Blizzard Requires Less Power—Out¬ 
lasts AH Other Cutters 
As one of our customers, B. C. Wolter & 
Bro., of Appleton, Wis., wrote: “The easy 
1 running feature of the Blizzard is what rec¬ 
ommends it strongly to local dairymen." 
Small engines operate Blizzards of good ca¬ 
pacity where larger power would be needed if 
any other filler was used. Any engine of (5 
to 10 H. P.) a size convenient for the regular 
farm work —is large enough for the Blizzard. 
As to durability, the Blizzard is made to 
last a lifetime. For instance, the bearings are 
cast independently. It would be cheaper for 
us to cast the bearings in the casting. In 
every respect the Blizzard is designed from 
the users’ standpoint to give long, satisfac¬ 
tory sendee.
