Why the Papec 
‘‘Throws and Blows” 
A Steady Stream 
I T is a result —the causes of which are: 
first, the knives are correctly adjusted 
to the shear plate; second, each of the six fans 
cleans clean at every revolution; third, the 
wheel throws the silage far up the pipe before 
the power of the air blast is used; fourth, the 
elevating pipe is the right size so that the air 
blast does not escape without lifting the silage. 
The steady stream of silage shooting up the 
elevating pipe, as shown in the enlarged 
section in the illustration at the right, is 
the evidence of correct relation between 
the capacities of the cutting wheel, the 
fans, the drum and the elevating pipe— 
the perfect working of the machine below. 
The fact that the Papec (C throws and blows ” 
the silage in a steady stream is one reason why 
the Papec factory is the largest in the world devoted 
exclusively to the manufacture of feed and ensilage 
cutters. Papec Ensilage Cutters are made in four sizes. 
A gas or kerosene engine developing as little as 3 
h. p. operates the smallest size successfully—fills the 
highest silo.

The Milch Goat 
Part III. 
When on pasture, and especially early 
in the Spring when the grass and leaves 
are tender, a goat will not drink much 
water; but stall-fed animals should be 
watered at least twice a day. Be sure 
the water and pail are clean. In Winter 
if the water is heated to about 90 degrees 
they will drink considerably more than if 
the chill is only taken off. 
When the herd is first turned upon pas¬ 
ture in the Spring do it gradually, as the 
sudden change from hay to grass is likely 
to cause ^ diarrhoea, which sometimes 
proves difficult to cure. A tablespoon of 
castor oil will give as good results as any¬ 
thing. But do not use oil as a purge; 
i. e., castoroil, as it is a poison when 
given in quantity to horse, cow, sheep or 
goat. For physic for your goat, give from 
four to six ounces of epsom or glauber 
salts, with a little ginger. 
While upon the subject of pasture it 
might be well to mention the plants that 
breeders keep their goats in one large pen, 
well bedded and with racks for hay. This 
is practically only where they are all horn¬ 
less and then some will be kept away 
from the feed racks by the natural bullies. 
If kept in box stalls 4 ft. by 4*4 ft. is a 
good size. These should be provided for 
does with kids and for the weaned kids. 
For the general herd tie stalls are easier 
to work around and take up much less 
room. It is best to build this kind of 
stall a few inches off the floor. They 
are two feet wide by 30 Inches deep, (for 
a large goat, 3G inches deep would add to 
goat's comfort) with partitions between 
the stalls 3% feet high at the front. If 
made any lower than this a nervous goat 
might jump over aud he unable to get 
back. The quicker way to finish such a 
stall is to build in against a wall and fas¬ 
ten a rack in front of the goat for the 
hay; but nothing is gained by so doing 
for she will soon waste enough hay to pay 
Nubian Docs, Fifteen-sixteenths Pure. Owned by Goat World, California 
are poisonous to goats. As a rule, unless 
pasture is very scant, they will avoid 
harmful plants, which in the East consist 
of mountain laurel, privet and Rhododen¬ 
drons. No doubt there are others, but 
these are all that I am familiar with. I 
know of no weed that is harmful to them, 
although it has been found that they eat 
over 70 per cent of the native American 
weeds, against the sheep’s 54 per cent. 
The natural time for goats to breed is 
from September to February, and the 
goat which kids early in the Spring 
when the pasture first starts will produce 
more milk and keep up her flow longer 
than one which freshens in the Fall or 
Winter. Very few goats can be bred dur¬ 
ing the Summer months and therefore a 
goat which freshens m the Autumn or 
early Winter will command a much higher 
price than same would if fresh in the 
Spring. Some kids will breed when from 
three to four months old, so the buck kids 
should be kept separately after the third 
month. 
There are two methods of raising the 
kids. The professional Breeder nearly al¬ 
ways leaves the kids with the dam and 
after a few days, they are able to take 
care of all the milk. This is nature’s way 
and certainly the kids should have more 
vitality and a better start in life for as 
a rule the dam will not wean them for 
six or eight months. This is the reason 
that kids grown by a breeder are worth 
more than those that are weaned at six 
weeks or two months ns Is often the case 
when a few does are kept for the milk. 
In raising kids by hand, they should 
be taken from the dam at birth. Then 
the mother will not miss them. They 
can be raised upon a Bottle or by pan 
feeding. Until this year I had always 
used a bottle for the kids of the two does 
that we keep for milk; hut this year 
one of the kids did not take to a nipple 
for some reason, and so we started pan 
feeding. We find it a much better way. 
When feeding kids milk, always give it 
Warm. 
The kids which are allowed to grow 
up with their dams should be left in the 
stalls in the daytime while the herd is on 
pasture until they are strong enough to 
keep up with the others without becoming 
tired. The Angora men of the west place 
a two-foot hurdle at tho barn door and 
when the kids can jump over they are 
considered old enough to run with the 
grown goats. 
The only practical fence is four foot 
woven wire. Very few goats will jump 
over this, hut if they do a strand of wire 
placed six or eight inches above will dis¬ 
courage them. Where only a few goats 
are kept staking out is the cheaper; hut 
in doing this have a swivel at the collar 
and another in the middle of the chain and 
do not tie them in the bushes. A goat 
would rather eat nearly any kind of hush 
than grass; but tie them so that they can 
only reach the outer edge of the bushes 
or they will become tangled and wind 
themselves up until they choke. When 
in an inclosure provide a shelter in case of 
showers, and when on chain take them 
indoors if a storm comes up as they are 
Very sensitive to rain. 
The goat can be housed in any building 
that is dry and free from drafts. Some 
for the extra time it would have taken 
to build the stall with the front inclosed 
and an opening about eight inches square 
at top with slit four inches wide from 
bottom of square to within 10 or 12 inches 
of the floor. Where two rows of stalls 
are built facing each other the attendant 
can care for both rows at the same time. 
A milking stand is of importance, es¬ 
pecially if you have young goats milking 
for the first time. If one like the picture 
on page 65 last week is used, place in 
against the wall so that the goat cannot 
crowd away. If the goat is fed her grain 
when milked, she will soon become gen¬ 
tle and when let out of her stall will go 
directly to the stand. In fact when sev¬ 
eral are milked, if one is taken out of her 
regular turn, the one whose turn it really 
is, will tell the world in no uncertain 
tones that she has been denied her right. 
Regularity iu milking and feeding is 
just as important as it is with cows. 
The averago goat need not be milked 
more than twice a day; but a heavy 
milker, of five or more quarts, should he 
milked three times as long as the full 
flow keeps up. Irregular milking and 
failure to completely empty the udder, 
will decrease the flow and shorten the 
lactation period. 
When you who are starting to raise 
goats have some surplus stock to sell, see 
the animal with the eyes of the buyer. 
And as most goats are sold by mail' he 
honest. Even if your conscience would 
permit you to be over-enthusiastic, re 
member that you will not alone hurt 
youself by inakiug a dissatisfied custo- 
torner, hut the whole industry, m. g. s. 
A Jealous Airedale Dog 
Some -weeks ago a reader asked us 
about the newspaper report that a child 
living in Albany, N. Y., had been killed 
by an Airedale dog. We promised to in¬ 
vestigate the matter as best we could. 
Letters sent to the address of the parents 
of the child were returned unopened, and 
for some time we were unable to obtain 
anything more than newspaper clippings. 
We are now informed, however, on what 
seems good authority, that tho newspaper 
accounts of this affair are substantially 
correct. The child was killed by an Aire¬ 
dale. which had always been good-na¬ 
tured and reliable. There seems to ne 
no possible excuse for the dog’s attack, 
except that it was extremely jealous. The 
story is that the dog was asleep under 
the table. The dog’s mistress, who was 
apparently visiting in the home, kissed 
the little girl good-by. Overcome by jeal¬ 
ousy, the dog apparently sprang at the 
child, caught her by the throat and killed 
her before anything could be done. That 
seems to he a fair statement of the case. 
It would not, of course, follow that all 
Airedales would act in that way. Just as 
is the case with human beings, there are 
black sheep to be found in all breeds and 
families. The Airedale is by nature an 
intensely loyal and devoted animal. With 
out question some specimens of the breed 
are exceedingly jealous, and do not like 
to have tlieir master or owner lavish 
affection upon others. That is true to a 
certain extent, of all breeds of dogs, but 
we have never before heard of any case 
like this sad affair.
