Real Silo Economy 
S Longer Life—Less Repairs 
Better-Kept Silage 
T HAT’S just the kind of economy the Craine Silo is giving each man who 
owns one today. That’s the economy it can and will give you. 
Each year we rebuild many old, dilapidated iron-hooped stave silos. 
Why? Because their owners don’t want to stand the expense of too fre¬ 
quent repairs, replacement, and danger of valuable silage loss by freezing 
or spoiling. They know a Craine Silo cuts down those expenses and losses. 
And in addition they have no more bothersome hoops to tighten. 
There’s a good sound reason why the Craine lasts longer, needs less 
repairs and keeps silage better. It’s the scientific Craine 3-wall construc¬ 
tion. First, the inside wall of upright staves. Over .this goes frost-stop¬ 
ping, waterproof Silafelt. Then, outside, the continuous Crainelox Spiral 
Hooping that binds and cross-supports every square 
inch of silo. That’s what gives your Craine Silo its 1 ""’V 
unusual, giant strength and durability.

Equipped with positive self-feed that is saving a man for hundreds of 
farmers. The Papec never clogs on any silo! Its performance is con¬ 
tinuous. That one fact has made thousands of Papec sales and Papec 
boosters. The Papec is built by people who have long specialized in en 
silage cutter construction. And the output is increasing every year.

Your Boy’s Problem- 
A City Job—or Success 
on the Farm 
That boy of yours is thinking. You were 
thinking too at his age. But, today, prob¬ 
lems are different. 
Today too many boys are attracted away 
from the greatest opportunity on earth by 
false “city wages.” Wages that sound big 
are not so big after the board, room, car¬ 
fare and other expenses are paid. 
What a contrast to the freedom, independ¬ 
ence and greater opportunity [on the farml 
If that boy is thinking rightly he is looking 
ahead ten or twenty years. He sees modem 
buildings, up-to-date equipment, fine stock, 
a good home, a happy family—he sees him¬ 
self comfortable, well-fixed, independent! 
Farming has moved ahead many paces dur¬ 
ing the past few years. Electric lights, run¬ 
ning water, radio, automobile, good roads— 
what has the city to offer that the farm 
cannot have, and more? The next ten to 
twenty years should be the greatest years in 
the history of farming. Will 
your boy stay—and prosper?

Grinding Roughage 
I would like to know how to feed my 
cows. I have a mill which grinds corn 
and fodder like feed, and I grind corn 
right on fodder at same time. I would 
like to know just what to feed to get 
best results. Do, you think molasses is 
good to feed w r ith it ? F. 
New Jersey. 
Grinding such roughage as corn fodder 
does not increase its feeding value nor 
modify its protein content. In fact, I 
doubt very much whether grinding rough- 
age of this character is worth the cost 
of the operation and regurgitation. Cows 
require both concentrates and roughages 
and it is a waste of a busy man’s time 
to assume that a ground roughage can 
substitute for a concentrate. 
Molasses has about the same feeding 
value as cornmeal. When mixed with 
ground roughages of this character it 
does increase their palatability but there 
is such a thing as prevailing upon a cow 
to consume too much roughage. Even a 
cow’s time is too valuable to spend try¬ 
ing to make milk out of a mixture con¬ 
taining largely fiber and indigestible ma¬ 
terial. Pigs have been known to literally 
starve to death on a full stomach. Cows 
will mark time on a ration consisting of 
ground hay and corn fodder sprinkled 
with molasses, but they will not make 
milk at a profit. 
Under average circumstances a daily 
ration for average cows should carry not 
less than 20 per cent of protein. Such 
a ration would result from combining: 
150 lbs. linseed meal, 200 lbs. 48 per cent 
cottonseed meal, 150 lbs. bran, 300 lbs. 
cornmeal or hominy, 200 lbs. oats. 
Feed one pound of the ration for each 
3 y 2 lbs. of milk produced per day, and 
allow the cows all of the roughage that 
they will consume. 
Ration With Buckwheat 
Will you compound a ration for ray 
Guernsey cows and heifers to freshen in 
March? After freshening, the roughage 
will be clover and clover and Timothy 
mixed. I want a milk ration. I have 
oats, corn, and buckwheat for grinding 
and wish to use them, especially the buck¬ 
wheat. I cannot exchange it for the 
buckwheat middlings. I can get gluten 
feed. L. n. w. 
I fancy you realize that ground buck¬ 
wheat, commonly known as buckwheat 
feed, carries about half as much protein 
as the buckwheat middlings. Assuming 
that the middlings carry 28 per cent of 
protein then the buckwheat feed will 
carry all the way from 10 to 14 per 
cent. Since you cannot exchange the 
buckwheat feed for middlings you must 
consider the ground buckwheat about 
on a parity with a mixture of corn and 
bran. 
For cows and heifers due to freshen in 
March which are to be fed a ration com¬ 
pounded from the ingredients available 
I should use equal parts of oats, ground 
buckwheat, gluten feed, and oilmeal. This 
will yield a complete feed carrying about 
15 per cent of protein. 
For cows that yield more than 40 lbs. 
of milk it would be desirable to add 
enough cottonseed meal to this mixture 
to bring the protein content up to 22 or 
24 per cent, and under average cir¬ 
cumstances this ration will suffice. In 
case you add 100 lbs. of cottonseed meal 
to this mixture include as well 100 lbs. 
of wheat bran. 
Feeding Milk Goat 
Will you please tell me what to feed a 
milk goat? B - D - 
Of course you realize that a milk goat 
cannot be fed on tin cans and alley trash, 
as the traditional goat is reputed to sub¬ 
sist. A ration consisting of equal parts 
of cornmeal, bran, oats, and linseed meal 
makes a good combination for a milk 
goat. The daily ration would vary from 
a half pound to a pound and a half, 
depending upon the amount of milk pro¬ 
duced and the condition of the animal 
itself. Then it is prudent to allow the 
goat all the roughage, such as clover, Al¬ 
falfa, or coarse hay, that she will con¬ 
sume. Moistened beet pulp is greatly 
relished by a goat and it substantially 
increases the flow of milk,
