How Does Your 
Present Separator 
Compare with the 
sharples ? 
H AS your present separator from 20 to 
40 troublesome “discs,” each of which 
must be washed after every using ? 
There are no discs in the Sharpies tubular 
bowl—only one small piece—washed in a 
jiffy! 
Has your present separator a knee-low 
supply tank that eliminates lifting and back- 
strain? Has it an automatic once-a-month 
oiling system ? Sharpies is the only sepa¬ 
rator that has. 
Most important of all— 
Can you, with your present separator, turn 
slow if you’re hot and tired, or fast if you’re 
in a hurry, and still get all the butterfat — 
butterfat of always-even density ? 
You cannot answer one or all of these 
questions without proving positively the 
mechanical superiority of the

What to Do with Stray Stock 
About three weeks ago three heifers 
came to my place, doing damage, so I 
shut them up in my pasture until the 
owner claimed them. No one came for 
them the first week, so I advertised and 
am advertising now. Will you tell me 
what to do with them if no one claims 
them V <5- z. 
Tolland Co., Conn. 
A few weeks ago we had a similar case 
from Connecticut. In that ease a single 
heifer appeared upon a farmer’s place. 
He advertised her thoroughly, but no one 
came to claim her. Our advice to him 
was to keep the heifer after making a 
reasonable effort to find the owner. We 
advised him to keep an accurate account 
of any damage the heifer had done on his 
place, the full cost of advertising her. and 
the value of the feed she had consumed. 
Then if anybodv claimed her later they 
must pay all these charges before taking 
her away, and in any event they must 
absolutely prove the legal ownership of 
the heifer before taking her. We made a 
public statement about this, and within a 
week at least half a dozen people came 
claiming that it was their heifer. The 
farmer finally accepted the proof which 
one of these people offered, received pay¬ 
ment of cost, and gave up the heifer. Our 
advice in this case is to keep these heifers, 
if you have advertised them fairly and no 
one appears to claim them. Keep a care¬ 
ful record of everything they cost, and if 
anyone turns up claiming ownership make 
him give clear legal proof before deliver¬ 
ing the heifers to him. In case no one 
turns up to claim these animals after a 
reasonable time you will be justified in 
selling them. If later someone claims 
ownership, you may deduct your cost in 
the matter and pay the difference between 
that at.d what you obtained for the 
heifers. 
Corn Grain in the Silo 
There seems to be quite a question with 
many dairymen about leaving all the 
ears in when the crop is cut into the 
silo. In some cases, where the crop is i 
well matured, there is too much grain in 
the silage, and unless some strong protein 
feed is used the cows are not at their 
best. Some dairymen are breaking off 
and husking a part of the ears—claiming 
they get more economical results in that 
way. Do you think it will pay to break 
oft part of the ears for dry corn? 
I do not consider myself good enough 
authority to answer that question, but I 
doubt very much as to getting too much 
corn in your silage. I plant State corn 
in with my silage corn for the express 
purpose of getting more good solid ears 
into my silage. F. L. palmer. 
Cayuga Co., N. Y. 
If corn is eared very heavily and very 
well matured, we think it advisable to 
pick off some of the best ears before putting 
into the silo, but would not advise doing 
this unless we think the corn will yield 
better than 100 bushels of ears per acre. 
We removed some ears this year and 
think that we have left enough on the 
corn to make extra good silage after 
that. If the silage is heavily eared, we 
simply feed a ration containing less fat.

Our practice is to cut everything in and 
we like to have plenty of ears well ma¬ 
tured, that is, well along in the dent, but 
not hard. We do not find such silage too 
rich, for we use corn in our dairy ration 
with oats, barley, bran and cottonseed 
meal. For roughage we use Alfalfa, 
clover, corn stover and silage. Our cows 
do not get over-fat, and produce well, so 
I judge nothing would be gained by husk¬ 
ing out part of the corn unless it became 
so mature that it would pass through the 
cows undigested and enough saved by 
husking to pay its expense.

Feeding from a Large Silo 
I noted recent references to silos that 
are too big, which is a mistake of a great 
many farmers in trying to get their silage 
in without splicing the staves, and thus 
have a large tub instead of a silo. D‘> 
not try to feed all the way across -a big 
silo at one time, but divide it up so as to 
feed down to the depth of 12 or 14 
inches or eyen. more. It will not dry out 
as fast, and the cows will like it better 
and give more milk. You will find it 
even better in the cold weather, as you 
will be giving them warm instead of cold 
and dry silage. I heartily indorse the 
plan of building the silo not more than 
12 ft. in diameter, even though you have 
to go to a greater height,

Cow HEALTH is 
as Important aS . 
Good Feeding 
When a cow’s milk yield 
falls off, it is more likely to 
be a question of health than 
of food. Over-feeding will 
only make matters worse. 
Milk cows are subject to im¬ 
pairment of digestive and 
genital organs and the milk 
production is immediately re¬ 
duced. 
These vital organa can bo toned up and 
strengthened by feeding KOW-KURE, the 
great cow medicine. 1 his remedy is also used 
in treating such ailments as Abortion, Barren¬ 
ness, Retained Afterbirth, Scouring, Bunches 
and Milk Fever. The best dairymen keep 
it constantly on band. Sold by feed dealers 
and druggists; 60c and $1.20.
