Own Your Own 
'THE PAPEC PLAN 
is for you to “ own your 
own ’ ’ ensilage cutter. The 
individually owned Papec Ensi¬ 
lage Cutter will pay a clear 
profit of $100 to $200 a year 
for each silo. 
" Own your own ” Papec— 
just as you “ own your own ” 
binder, mower, horse and 
buggy or automobile—be¬ 
cause when you need it, you 
NEED it at once. And by 
having it right at hand you 
soon save enough to pay for 
it. You can fill your silo 
when the corn is just right; 
and you can refill it so that 
you enter the feeding season 
with a silo four-fourths full — 
not one-fourth empty as a result 
of settling. 
Papec Ensilage Cutters are made 
in four sizes, any one of which will 
fill the highest silo. A3 h. p. 
gasoline engine will operate the 
smallest size.

It explains how a Papec will soon pay 
for itself.

Thousands of the nation’s 
famous dairy stock farms own 
Unadilla Silos. Here, where 
every purchase is made for 
quality, for endurance, for good 
looks, for conveniences, the 
Unadilla Silo won out in com¬ 
parison. Better still, when a 
new silo is added on these 
farms, it’s invariably a Unadilla. 
Every Borden (arm has its Unadilla. 
Many National, State, County 
College and School farms have 
Unadillas. 
Do you want more proof that the 
Unadilla is the safest and most con¬ 
venient silo to buy? The big 1919 
catalog has it. Write today for our

Plan for Barn Basement 
1 am at sea to know how to arrange 
my new basement; it is 28x60. It is all 
ready to cement and put in cement man¬ 
gers, etc., as soon as the weather warms 
np. I have all my equipment, 12 stan¬ 
chions with rail partitions, water cups, 
manure corner, etc. I want to keep 12 
cows, purebred Guernseys, and raise the 
calves and young stock. It is not abso¬ 
lutely necessary to keep the horses in the 
basement, as I have a good horse barn, 
but would like all my calves together if 
possible. In my plans I find I am not 
going to have much room behind my cows, 
and the horses will be rather close to the 
Cows. Shall I need all this room for 
cows and young stock? Would you ad¬ 
vise a gutter behind cows or just a drop, 
and have you any suggestions that will 
improve on my plan? This is going to 
cost me a lot of money, and I would like 
to have it right. e. m. b. 
Port Byron, N. Y. 
If it is not desired to arrange the base¬ 
ment so that a team with manure wagon 
can be driven through behind the cows, 
I think that I should like the accompany¬ 
ing modification of your plan. In this 
a carrier should be installed to take all 
manure away from the barn through 
a door in south end. In this plan the 
horses and cows need not come in con¬ 
tact. but can be cared for together. If 
desired, the horses can he faced the other

way and an alley with outside doors may 
be placed behind them, but there would 
be scant room for a passage-way from 
the main floor to the rear of the horses 
without leaving the building. As planned, 
the droppings from behind the horses 
may readily be put into the gutter be¬ 
hind cows to act as an absorbent of 
liquids and to be removed from the barn 
by carrier. All dimensions given are con¬ 
sidered standard, but may, of course, he 
varied. 
Windows on east and south should be 
hinged to drop hack from top and have 
hopper sides, so that voutilatiou may be 
secured through them. Doors should be 
conveniently placed and he ample in num¬ 
ber. so that stock can he quickly removed 
in case of lire. Don’t build a death trap 
By making doors A and B sufficiently 
wide, a wagon could be driven through 
the alley when desired to clean out the 
box stalls, or it could be backed in 
through door A. If more space in front 
of cows is wished, the space behind them 
can he narrowed a little, as gutter really 
forms part of the walk. m. b. d. 
Ration for Cow 
I have one cow. I buy prepared cow 
feed, which contains beet pulp T have : 
plenty of mangels, white and rabaga 
turnips, so I thought if I ha . good 
formula of cottonseed meal. gL. tc.. 
minus the beet pulp. I could work my 
turnips. Can you advise me? e. l. l. 
New Jersey. 
Make up a grain ration of three parts 
by weight of ground oats or bran or 
ground barley, two parts cottonseed meal, 
one part gluten feed and one part linseed 
ail meal. Add a pound of salt to each 
100 pounds of feed. Feed 20 to 30 pounds 
of roots daily, being careful to give them j 
particularly the turnips just after milk- I
