Fill Your Silo Full 
—with Corn Cut at the Right Stage of 
Maturity for Greatest Feeding Value 
CONSIDER, that all winter long your production depends 
^ upon the feeding value of your silage; that it has taken 
the entire summer to grow the com to make this silage; 
that the reward for your year’s work actually hinges on the 
few autumn days required for putting this corn into the silo. 
When you “own your own ” Papec, 
you cut your com at just the right stage 
of maturity for greatest feeding value; 
you refill your silo after the com has 
settled; you go into the winter with a 
silo four-fourths full instead of one- 
fourth empty —and the gain in your 
winter production may even pay for 
the Papec in a single season. 
Your gasoline engine, though only 
three horse-power, will operate at 
least one size of the Papec. A Papec 
requires one-fifth to one-third less power 
than any other blower cutter. And 
the fact that the Papec operates with 
less power means much more than the 
mere saving of that power—it proves 
the efficiency of the Papec throughout. 
For two decades, Papec Ensilage 
Cutters have been built upon the same 
principles of construction. These 
principles—always faithfully combined 
with high quality of material—explain 
why the Papec stands supreme in the 
eyes of men who know and use ensilage 
*'Ou?n Your Own” 
cutters. “No farmer who knows machin¬ 
ery will hesitate to order the Papec.” 
The information contained in our cata¬ 
log is essential to a wise selection of an 
ensilage cutter. Send for a copy to-day.

Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Leaking of Milk 
I have a Jersey cow that injured her 
teat more than a year ago. It healed all 
right, as far as I can see, but the teat 
has leaked milk ever since the injury. 
New York. e. h. j. 
The muscular fibers of the teat wall 
have weakened so that the opening of 
the teat relaxes under pressure and al¬ 
lows the milk to escape. In such a con¬ 
dition immersing the teat for a few min¬ 
utes, twice daily, in water containing 
practically all the powdered alum it will 
dissolve sometimes helps; but usually we 
get better results from coating the tip of 
the teat with melted wax or paraffin after 
each milking. If that does not suffice, 
the only recourse is to q>pply a little flex¬ 
ible collodion to _ the orifice of the teat 
after each milking. This preparation 
hardens and acts as a varnish. It has 
to be removed before milking. After a 
time the collodion causes considerable ir¬ 
ritation, and that may prevent escape of 
the milk. The treatment at this stage 
should be discontinued until the skin re¬ 
covers. Milking three times daily is in¬ 
dicated as part of the treatment in cases 
where a great yield of milk is given. 
Blood in Milk 
I have two heifers, one two years and 
one three years old. The first has been 
giving bloody milk out of one quarter for 
two months; the other for a short time. 
Can anything be done for this? I have 
tried saltpetre without effect. Would 
they be likely to become all right when 
dry during Winter? l. f. h. 
There are several different causes of 
blood in milk. Where small blood vessels 
have ruptured from congestion just after 
calving, and especially in heifers with 
their first calves, the trouble usually sub¬ 
sides without treatment in a short time. 
Giving a handful of Glauber salt to the 
cow once daily, in water or soft feed, 
usually helps; but in severe cases it also 
is well to bathe the udder with cold water 
and vinegar three times daily, and to 
give a level teaspoonful of dried sulphate 
of iron (powdered copperas) and three 
of table salt once daily in feed. That is 
unsafe if a cow is well along in calf, but 
acidulating the drinking water slightly 
with dilute sulphuric acid at such times 
is safe, and often as effective as the treat¬ 
ment with copperas. The internal treat¬ 
ment may be tried in. all cases of bloody 
milk. In many instances growths in the 
teat bleed from irritation at milking time, 
and treatment consists in removing the 
growths by operation. If that cannot be 
done by an expert veterinarian the cow 
should be “dried off” or allowed to nurse 
a calf. Bleeding due to a blow or other 
injury usually subsides in a short time. 
When due to chronic garget, it is incur¬ 
able, and the milk is unfit for use.

What feed would you recommend for 
a calf six weeks old that has just got over 
the scours? n. N. 
In such a case the aim should be to feed 
a little often and to have the feed in such 
a condition that it will not. disagree with 
the digestive organs of the calf. Cleanse, 
scald and sun-dry all milk-feeding uten¬ 
sils. Feed new milk at first. Have it 
blood warm at feeding time, add one 
ounce of limewater to the pint, and make 
the calf drink slowly. Fast drinking 
often induces indigestion, or even fits, 
that tend to prove fatal. Sweet skim- 
milk gradually may be substituted as the 
calf thrives. In addition to milk, allow 
the calf to help itself to whole oats, wheat 
bran and oilmeal from a self-feeder. At 
all times allow access to water and also 
to rock salt. A lump of chalk placed in 
the pen for the calf to lick often proves 
quite helpful in such cases of indigestion. 
The calf also may be allowed to eat grass 
and fine hay; but be careful not to allow 
it suddenly to pasture lush clover or 
Alfalfa when wet with dew or rain. 
Lump on Jaw 
We have a heifer with a lump on he? 
jaw. I am putting on a blister. What 
do you think would help her? Do you 
think it is lump jaw? l . a. 
An examination is necessary for the 
determination of lumj) jaw (actinomyco¬ 
sis). and it may have to include a micro¬ 
scopic examination of pus. As tubercu¬ 
losis is a very common cause of lumps 
about the jaws and throats of cattle, the 
first step always should be to have the 
tuberculin test applied by a veterinarian, 
for the disease is contagious and incur¬ 
able, and necessitates destruction, of the 
affected animal. The intra-dermal method 1 
of testing is preferable in hot weather. 
Bruise, from any cause, may induce such 
a lump, or it may be associated with a 
split or diseased inolar tooth. The teeth, 
therefore, should be carefully examined 
and attended to, if that proves necessary. 
It it. turns out to be a case of lump jaw, 
the best treatment would he to have the 
diseased part dissected or sloughed out 
by a veterinarian. If you cannot have 
that done, saturate it daily with tincture 
of iodine and open it for liberation of pus, 
if a soft spot forms. Iodide of potash 
in dram doses twice daily in water also 
may be given for several periods of 10 
days with 10-day intervals. This is best 
done under direction of a veterinarian. 
DoYouWant 
A Silo This 
Year ? 
If you aim to store this 
year’s corn crop, when it’s 
worth most as feed, you 
want a silo on time. 
And if you knew how long 
it takes these days to get 
any kind of an order filled 
—you’d act without delay. 
There’s yet time to order 
and be sure of getting your 
Unadilla 
Silo 
The Unadilla is made in the largest 
factory in the East devoted exclus¬ 
ively to silos. Our stock of lumber 
and steel is ample but we cannot 
control embargoes and freight delays 
that take months where once it was 
a matter of days. 
The famous Unadilla Silo is easy to 
erect quickly, keeps silage perfectly 
and is in use by many thousands of 
dairymen and stockmen. 
Get our 1920 Catalog and prices. 
Act before others fill our factory 
capacity. Be sure of getting your 
silo on time.
