_ Value in 
Ensilage Cutters 
^THOUSANDS of farmers agree that the 
1 Papec is the biggest value in ensilage 
cutters—simple, rugged, long-lived. Fills 
the highestsilo without pluggingthepipe. 
Light of draf t; costs less to operate. Every 
part is easy to get at. . 
The Papec is made in four sizes: R-10, 
N-13; L-16 and K-19. A gasoline engine, 
developing 3 h.p. or more, will operate the 
R-10 size. Any tractorcan beused with the 
medium sizes. For heavy tractors use aK- 
19 Papec—capacity practically unlimited.

Milk and Cream with Silage Flavor 
What makes milk and cream taste of 
silage? I feed my cows same as I always 
have, and never had any trouble before. 
For about two -Weeks now, my cream has 
an acid taste. I feed my cows silage 
twice a day, in morning after milking and 
about 2:30 p. m. I milk about 4:30 
p. m. They have grain with their silage 
and are salted every day. My silage 
corn was caught by one frost. It has 
kept well in silo, blit has a strong acid 
smell; not sour, but acid. I use Sanford 
corn for silage. A. D. M.

In order to tell whether the “off” 
flavors of your milk or cream are due to 
the feeds the cows receive or to bacteria, 
note the following rule: 
A food flavor can be distinguished from 
one produced by bacteria in that a bac¬ 
terial flavor usually gets worse as the 
milk or cream ages, while a food flavor 
generally decreases with age. You can 
check up on this and advise further as to 
your findings. The bacteria would get 
into the milk at milking time, falling from 
the cow’s body. They might originally 
have come from dusty or moldy hay and 
got onto the cow’s body or be in the dusty 
air. Undue exposure of the milk in the 
stable at this time of the year very ofteu 
causes the milk to absorb bad flavors. 
This might be especially true if your barn 
is not well ventilated and the air becomes 
full of the silage odor which you men¬ 
tioned. 
If you find the flavor due to food, then 
such strong flavored feeds should be dis¬ 
carded or the amounts reduced. If due to 
bacteria, you must watch out for the con¬ 
tamination by seeing to it that the cows 
are clean at milking time and that clean 
and sterile utensils are used in which to 
handle the milk. j. w. b. 
Production of Certified Milk 
Will you explain to me the possibili¬ 
ties of selling certified milk? I could 
easily equip myself for handling it if 
sure it would be a paying proposition? 
What are the requirements as regards 
utensils? Where would be a good market, 
etc.? Do you think it a good plan to 
have my herd of good-grade cows tuber¬ 
culin tested by the State? A good many 
around here are having it done. Do you 
think it will be a State requirement with¬ 
in a short time? w. F. A. 
Antwerp, N. Y'. 
The production of certified milk is 
more largely a question of methods than 
of money. In some cases, buildings have 
been constructed of expensive material 
and their owners have gone to such ex¬ 
tremes that some people have come to 
regard the production of certified milk 
as a fad in which only wealthy people 
can engage. Such an expensive outlay 
is not necessary. There should be, of 
course, a watertight floor of concrete, 
tight walls and ceilings, plenty of sun¬ 
light and ventilation. There should be 
a proper air space for each cow. and the 
details of construction should be such 
as will permit easy and thorough clean¬ 
ing. The same construction details 
apply to the milk house. 
In reference to equipment, the cov¬ 
ered pail for milking is simple and in¬ 
expensive. The rapid cooling and bot¬ 
tling of the freshly-drawn milk is es¬ 
sential. Such things as are necessary 
to accomplish this must be used, and the 
milk must be kept cold. It is necessary 
in producing certified milk that one 
should have the necessary apparatus for 
effectually sterilizing every utetnsil and 
thing with which the milk comes in con¬ 
tact. Steam under pressure is the pref¬ 
erable means of sterilization. Great 
expense is not as necessary in certified 
milk production as great care in clean¬ 
liness ; clean men. clean, healthy cows, 
clean stables, clean dairy utensils and 
clean methods are all important. Only 
tuberculin-tested cows can he used in 
certified milk production. I should ad¬ 
vise your getting in touch with your 
county medical society. These societies 
in New York State create the milk com¬ 
missions which have charge of the cer¬ 
tification of dairies in their several com¬ 
munities. This society could likewise ad¬ 
vise you as to the extent of the demand 
in your community for certified milk and 
could advise as to the nearest and best 
market for your product. Simplicity and 
efficiency in equipment and methods will 
go a long way toward making it a paying 
proposition. 
I certainly feel that any dairyman who 
owns his own herd of cattle should have 
them tuberculin-tested under the Accred¬ 
ited Herd plan. I believe I am right in 
saying that no dairyman would willingly 
keep a tubercular cow and feed her milk 
to his own children. The time is coming 
when it will be a requirement to test ail 
cows for tuberculosis, and when this time 
comes the remuneration from the State 
may be' much less than it is at present. 
Therefore, my advice is that you should 
have your herd tested as soon as con¬ 
venient. 'J. w. B. 
Read Silo Character 
As you do a man’s 
Y OU read a man’s character in 
his face. Look to the same fea¬ 
tures on a silo to judge its qualities. 
In the front of the Unadilla Silo, 
you can see many practical, valuable 
advantages that speak of the 
thoroughness, care and thought 
with which every detail of the 
whole silo is worked out. 
Its continuous opening; water¬ 
tight, air-tight, non-sticking doors; 
wide, safe, easy combination door 
fasteners and ladder; door front 
assembled at the factory; hoop ends 
adjustable from ladder, these and 
many other features of the front of 
a Unadilla are some indication of 
the bigger silo value the Unadilla 
gives you for every dollar.

silo information you shouldn’t miss.
