When Milk Prices Are Low 
Use TI-O-GA Dairy Feeds 
When milk prices are low, you must be most careful 
of the dollars spent for feed. Milk profits on low prices 
can only be made when your cows produce more milk 
for each dollar spent in feed—and when you have cows 
left in best condition. 
Tioga Dairy Feeds are bringing such profitable 
results to thousands of dairymen, in these very days 
of low milk prices. 
You can easily prove this claim by feeding Tioga 
Dairy Feed to a few of your own cows; note the 
perfect condition in which they are kept; the amount 
of milk produced and the low cost of the milk. 
These results are possible, because Tioga Dairy 
Feeds combine with the roughage to form a perfect 
balance and furnish all the nutrients to meet the cow’s 
requirements with minimum waste. 
There is neither too much nor too little protein and 
the same is true of all the other necessary elements. 
Your profits are best when your cows are com¬ 
pletely nourished as they are when feeding: 
Red Brand Tioga Dairy Feed 
with low protein succulent roughage. 
White Brand Tioga Dairy Feed 
with medium protein dry roughage. 
Blue Brand Tioga Dairy Feed 
with high protein dry roughage. 
The tag on every bag gives full tables for feeding. 
If your dealer doesn’t have Tioga Dairy Feeds 
advise us and we will see that you are supplied.

One More Pig Per Litter 
Figures show that ou the average one 
pig is killed from each litter by the sow 
laying on it. Often in our own herd the 
mortality ran higher than the above fig¬ 
ures until we adopted the method de¬ 
scribed. No doubt you have noticed that 
the brood sow generally lies with her 
back very close to the wall when suckling 
her litter, and when the bedding is deep 
pigs are likely to be crushed between her 
body and the walls. 
Nail a 2x6 around the walls of the 
sow’s compartment in the hog shed, with 
the narrow edge next to the wall, and at 
a height of about 6 in. from the floor, 
forming a 6-in. projection into the pen. 
If any pigs are between the sow and the 
wall when she lays down they will be

crowded under the ledge formed by the 
2 x6 and thus escape being crushed. 
This is a simple yet effective means of 
decreasing the rate of mortality among 
your very young pigs. My father and I 
have found it completely satisfactory.

The Papec is built on principles proved correct 
through more than twenty years’ use. It is post- A/ft 
tively guaranteed to cut and elevate more silage r 
with the same power than any other blower cutter. I 
Yet the Papec is priced relatively low. Figure the 
light power, low cost of upkeep, freedom from break- 1 
downs and delays and its long life and you 11 agree 
that the Papec is by far the most.economical 
Cutter you can buy. There’s a size that will 
get results with your power. 
“Our L-16 Papec Cutter saved its price the first 
year in shortening silage-cutting time, ymtes the 
Virginia Hot Springs Co. “We have used the Cutter 
two years, filling four silos with about 800 tons, using ^ 
Fordson Tractor.” 
Every silo user should have a copy of our new 
catalog and U. S. Gov’t Bulletin “Making and Feeding 
of Silage.” Our book shows how a Papec often pays 
for itself the first season. Both are free to users of 
silos—write for them.

Home Cheesemaking 
We have a eow that gives 14 to 15 
quarts of milk daily. Besides pot cheese 
and hand-kase I would like to know what 
other kinds of cheese I could make, and 
how. MRS. F. K. 
New York. 
You do not state whether you wish to 
use skim-milk or whole milk in the mak¬ 
ing of different kinds of cheese. If you 
propose using the sour skim-milk there 
are some very good cheeses which use the 
cottage cheese or pot cheese as a base. 
These differ mainly in flavoring materials 
and usually the flavor and the cheese are 
put through a food grinder. For instance, 
we have a nut cheese made by using % 
lb. of mixed walnuts and almonds, which 
have been blanched by soaking in hot 
water, with about 10 lbs. of the cottage 
cheese. This cheese when mixed evenly 
is sold in small packages and is used in 
the making . of sandwiches and salads. 
Then there is the pimento or red pepper 
cheese, which is made in much the same 
way. using 14 to % lb. of red peppers to 
10 lbs. of cheese, and grinding all rli rough 
a food grinder. Salt, of course, is used 
in all of these. Olives and caraway seeds 
may be used to give different flavors, 
These are suggested uses for cheese made 
from cottage or pot cheese. If you care 
to use whole milk or even cream in mak¬ 
ing cheese, we will be glad to advise you 
further, because there are many kinds of 
hee.se. and space ivill not permit a vol¬ 
uminous discussion here. J. w. B.

Dairy Disinfectants 
Would you tell me what strength to use 
chloride of lime as a solution for the 
milking machine; also as a disinfectant 
to sprinkle on the floor? if. c. w. 
New York. 
Chemical compounds for disinfecting 
dairy utensils are on the market under 
various trade names. These can be used 
according to the directions accompanying 
each brand. They are usually hypo¬ 
chlorites of either calcium or sodium, and 
their efficiency depends largely upon the 
presence of available chlorine. Your 
druggist should be iu a position to ad¬ 
vise where you can purchase these com¬ 
mercial compounds. The government rec¬ 
ommends the following homemade solu¬ 
tions : 
“Dissolve the contents of a 12-oz. can 
of commercial chlorinated lime in two 
gallons of water. Strain into a crock or 
glass jar, discarding the sediment. Cover 
and keep in a cool, dark place. This is 
known as the stock solution, and it will 
keep a long time. 
“To make the chlorine solution in 
which the utensils are soaked, use one 
pint of stock chlorine solution to every 
eight gallons of water. This diluted so¬ 
lution should be used within 24 hours. 
Make up a new solution every day. 
“The tank or box in which the utensils 
are soaked should be kept covered and 
clean at all times. The presence of slime 
or dirt in the solution will destroy its 
usefulness. The utensils must be thor¬ 
oughly washed before they are placed iu 
the chlorine solution.” 
The above solution is of right strength 
for general disinfection. j. w. B.
