The Smaller Power 
Requirements of the 
Papec Are Conceded 
VY/HEN one machine, with capacity 
VV equal to another, requires less power, 
it is obvious that that machine is the more 
efficient. 
A more efficient machine means better design and 
greater simplicity, better construction and fewer parts. 
Few parts, scientifically designed, made from the 
best materials, built by skilled and experienced 
labor, backed by 20 years of owner satisfaction— 
this sums up the Papec, and explains why sales have 
increased year by year until they now surpass those 
of any other ensilage cutter. 
Additional and very interesting reasons why the Papec is 
the biggest seller are given and illustrated in our new catalog 
reasons that stride your pocket-book. Send for a copy today.

Do You Milk 6 Com or More ? 
TF you do, you hava undoubtedly asked yourself

will greatly reduce my milking time? Is it absolutely 
safe to use on my cows? Will it pay me to in¬

These questions, and hundreds of others, are m

Swine Husbandry 
By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Feeding Sows for Exhibition 
I have some purebred Berkshire sow 
pigs that I wish to exhibit at the fairs 
this Fall. What kind of feed would yon 
advise to feed to get best results? I have 
a good grass pasture and can get mostly 
any kind of food required. For drink I 
have whey and plenty of good fresh 
water. F. S. L. 
The main point to cover in feeding 
Spring pigs for the the Fall show is to 
provide them with nourishing food that 
will stimulate growth and produce a 
sturdy frame, rather than prompt them 
to put ou excessive flesh and become 
chubby and mature at too early an age. 
There is reason to believe that if feeders 
would differentiate between a feeding and 
a fattening period they would produce 
pigs of a type and pattern more popular 
at shows and fairs. 
In this connection oats, although they 
are rather expensive, should constitute 
the bulk of your grain ration. A mix¬ 
ture of seven parts of oats, two parts of 
corn and one part of oilmeal would make 
a useful combination, the oats to be 
ground and the feed fed in the form of 
a thick slop. I should not give the pigs 
all of this that they will clean up. but 
rather let them have about four or five 
pounds (for each 100 pounds of live 
weight, provided they have access to for¬ 
age crops. One ought to be able to put 
ou the necessary flesh they will require 
in 30 or 40 days after the frame is well 
established, and in this connection there 
is nothing any better than corn and bar¬ 
ley and oats, to which about l. r > per cent 
of oilmeal has been added. 
Keep the pigs free from vermin by the 
use of crude oil applied externally at 
frequent intervals, or at least whenever 
there is any evidence of lice. Exercise 
is important as this enables the animal 
to put on firm rather than flabby flesh.

Feeding Six-Months Pigs 
I have some Yorkshire shotes six 
months old that weigh from 150 to 200 
pounds. I have fed them mainly on 
wheat bran, cornmeal and wheat mid¬ 
dlings, at the rate of 100 pounds bran to 
50 of the other two. Bran._ middlings 
and cornmeal have advanced 50 cents to 
$1 per cwt. in price. I can buy stock 
molasses for 2G cents per gallon. Will it 
make a good hog feed? Can I use Alfalfa 
meal and wheat bran, red dog and corn¬ 
meal? The reason I have used cornmeal 
is that the corn chop that I purchased 
seemed to contain considerable cob. which 
I thought to be of no value to hogs.

Black strap molasses at 2G cents a 
gallon would cost you a little more than 
three cents a pound. If the molasses has 
been diluted it is generally determined 
that five pounds of molasses is equiva¬ 
lent in feeding value to 3% or 4 pounds 
of cornmeal. At the present prices there 
would be little to he gained by paying 
this price for black strap molasses unless 
it would be to use it as an appetizer and 
was intended to provide more variety to 
the combination fed. Cornmeal or bar¬ 
ley meal at the present time is cheaper 
than molasses, or even the Alfalfa meal 
and wheat bran combination that you 
refer to. I would stick to it. and believe 
it to be the most economical source of 
digestible nutrients adapted for use in 
swiue feeding. 
As to the comparative feeding value of 
cornmeal and corn chop, I should say that 
much depends upon what may he in¬ 
cluded in the so-called corn chop. There 
may be little or much corn in combination 
with other mill sweepings; hence I would 
always favor the purchase, of the corn¬ 
meal. The corn chop invariably contains 
considerable corncobs and, as you have 
rightly stated, there is no feeding value 
in corncobs. 
Alfalfa meal has been much overesti¬ 
mated in the minds of many feed dealers, 
especially when it is intended to substi¬ 
tute for grain in any mixture. One 
ought to raise his Alfalfa or clover hay 
or buy it in the hale rather than in the 
bag. for it is bulky and ought not to 
replace the concentrate in a feeding mix¬ 
ture. Alfalfa hay is about equal in feed¬ 
ing value to ordinary wheat bran: but 
nowadays such peculiar combinations are 
incorporated in Alfalfa meal mixtures 
that one never knows whether he is ap¬ 
proving a poor combination or condemn¬ 
ing a good one. Alfalfa would, be an 
appropriate supplement for corn. is. a ra¬ 
tion for breeding animals, but it is too 
bulky to depend upon as a source of food 
for fattening animals. Tied dog flour is 
the highest grade of middlings that we 
can secure; but after the. pigs have 
reached the age you have indicated I 
should not feed them any middlings. I 
should rely absolutely upon corn and 
barley and the most economical source of 
protein, tankage, oilmeal or leguminous 
forage. Rather than purchase your corn¬ 
meal from your local miller why not try 
to get a few bushels of corn? It is not 
necessary that it he ground into meal for 
use in feeding pigs of this age. Ear corn 
is. in mv judgment, better for feeding 
200-pound pigs than corn prepared in any 
fashion.
