Ailing Bird for Breeding 
I have a year-old cook that has for the 
last live or six weeks been sick : he seems 
to open his mouth for air most of the 
time, has a wheezing in his throat, and 
shakes his head as if he were coughing. 
There are a couple of canker sores in the 
back of his mouth. If he gets over this 
could I use him for bseeding, or would it 
be safe to eat him? m. j. g. 
Connecticut. 
This cock should be barred from the 
breeding pen, even though he recovers. 
Too great care cannot be taken to use 
only birds of the highest vigor in the 
breeding pen, and any disease depletes the 
vitality of the animal suffering from it. 
If the cock fully recovers its Hesh would 
be wholesome, but one would hardly care 
to have it appear upon the table until 
after all traces of its disorder had disap¬ 
peared. M. B. D.

ENSILAGE CUTTER 
T HIS is the cutter and silo filler you have been waiting for. 
Like a pair of shears, it cuts sharp and clean—cuts any 
crop such as corn, alfalfa, peas, oats, etc. Cuts fine — 
avoids air spaces and spoilage. Saves power and absolutely 
prevents clogging by combining the cutting, throwing and 
blowing on one wheel. The shear-steel knives can be easily 
removed and sharpened—another feature that saves power. 
Made extra heavy throughout, it runs as steadily as a dynamo, and 
stands the hardest usage for many years. Manufactured for over 20 
years in our Canadian plant, these machines have been the standard 
of threshers who haul them about the country and give them more hard 
service in one year than the average farmer would e’^er give them. / 
The Model “A" machine shown here cuts 15 
Made in three sizes 
of green corn per hour, is friction-driven.Jn- 
stantly reversible and safe. The Model “B” 
machine—made in two sizes with two knives 
or three —is belt driven and also instantly 
reversible. It is built a little lighter than 
Model “A” and has less capacity. Any model 
will elevate into the highest silo. raA

SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heat and cold causes damage. 
That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not con¬ 
clusive evidence of bad faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claims on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction
