The Papec is built on principles proved correct 
through more than twenty years’ use. It is posi- 
tively guaranteed to cut and elevate more silage 
with the same power than any other blower cutter. ■ 
Yet the Papec is priced relatively low. Figure the 
light power, low cost of upkeep, freedom from break¬ 
downs and delays and its long life and you’ll 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,” writes 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.

CHAPTER VII 
PRINCIPLES OF 
COOPERATION 
Do you know the three 
cardinal principles that mark 
aCooperative Organization ? 
They are defined in the new 
book, “Organized Cooperation” 
with several other rules essential 
to full and permanent success. 
This Chapter should be read 
and reread by every member of 
all Farm Cooperative Associa¬ 
tions. If these principles are 
faithfully applied to farm coopera¬ 
tion they will not only avert many 
disappointments and losses, but 
insure permanent success. 
The book is sent postpaid for 
one dollar.

The Swine Situation 
A number of readers are interested in 
knowing what is likely to happen with 
corn selling in Chicago at $1.10 a bushel 
and hogs of marketable weight and con¬ 
dition between 7 and Sc per lb. 
When we consider that there is a 
shortage approaching 20 <per cent in the 
pig crop, the only conclusion that one can 
safely draw is to assume that either corn 
will come down in price, or hogs will in¬ 
crease substantially in market value, for 
the existing ratio cannot long survive. 
Unfortunately, there is a large group 
of corn belt farmers who go into the hog 
business when prices are high and are 
forced out when prices are low. When 
corn w r as sold for 75 to SOc a bushel and 
hogs were being marketed at around 6c, 
the farmer concluded that the only safe 
thing for him to do was to sell his corn, 
and likewise market his hogs, irrespective 
of whether the hogs were in condition to 
meal, oilmeal and also buckwheat shorts. 
I can buy 24 per cent protein dairy feed 
for $54 per ton. Would you advise home 
mixing, or buying ready mixed feed? 
Pennsylvania. F. A. 
As to whether it would be to your ad¬ 
vantage to buy a 24 per cent protein 
feed, or shovel mix a ration which would 
yield this amount, depends entirely upon 
your own circumstances. There are some 
advantages in purchasing mixed feed, and 
there are many advantages in home¬ 
mixing these products if you are in a po¬ 
sition to purchase the ingredients desired 
and can get the products that you want 
when you want them. Utilizing the pro¬ 
ducts which you have identified, a 24 per 
cent ration would result from combining 
the ingredients in this proportion : Buck¬ 
wheat shorts, 200 lbs.; linseed meal, 150 
lbs.; gluten feed, 100 lbs.; cottonseed 
meal, 150 lbs.; corn chop, 250 lbs.; wheat 
bran, 150 lbs.

I have seen all manner of fauna in your publication, but I think that I am the 
first to send you the picture of a Mohair goat. This little lady is in only very scant 
laiment—the ladies might call it her “Summer furs”—having been sheared late in 
Spring. When in full dress, her coat reaches almost to her hoofs, giving her the 
contour of an animated tennis ball. At the moment of the picture She happens to 
be on terra firms (Jersey mud), hut she may be found quite as often on the most 
altitudinous points of the farm buildings. Stanley l. adler. 
be marketed advantageously, or whether 
they were thin and irregular, and thus 
not attractive to buyers. As a result bred 
sows and undeveloped pigs were shipped 
to Chicago and other live stock terminal 
market centers in great quantities. The 
farmer could not be blamed for taking his 
profit from his corn when lie had waited 
so long for such an opportunity. At the 
present, conditions are the same, but un¬ 
fortunately the farmer is not in a position 
to market either hogs or corn. Taking 
care of the present crop is problem enough 
now for the farmer. As a rule the farmer 
is not in a position to shell and market 
his corn during the months of July and 
August. The haying and harvest season 
keeps him busy at home and he cannot 
make the necessary arrangements with 
his neighbors or with the party who has 
the shelling that will enable him to make 
delivery as desired. 
It has been my observation that the 
swine grower who feeds the corn to his 
swine, irrespective of price of corn and 
regardless of the price of hogs, and keeps 
this- up year in and year out, will eight 
out of 10 times make money, and for my 
'part I would not jump at the conclusion 
now to depreciate my herd by marketing 
animals out of condition and at the prev¬ 
alent low prices. Realizing that it re¬ 
quires about 11 bushels of corn to estab¬ 
lish 100 lbs. of live weight on market¬ 
able hogs, one cannot figure out. now. 
how I can afford to feed corn to hogs at 
a profit, but nevertheless live stock men 
should still maintain their faith in the 
mortgage lifter and stay in the pig busi¬ 
ness. F. c. M. 
High Protein Ration 
Wanted 
Will you give me a balanced ration for 
dairy cows that will make around 24 per 
cent protein? I have corn chop, wheat, 
bran and middlings, gluten, cottonseed 
milk it would be desirable to replace the 
gluten feed with gluten meal, as this will 
substantially increase the protein. If you 
have the corn chop and the buckwheat 
shorts, and prefer not to shovel mix the 
ingredients mentioned above, then you 
can mix your homegrown products with 
the 24 per cent feed and, at $54 per ton 
for some one of the better grades of the 
mixed feed, the price would not he out of 
range. 
Preventing Self Milking 
1 have seen many appliances to pre¬ 
vent a cow from sucking herself, but the 
simplest and best has not been mentioned. 
Take a small piece of pipe !4 in. in di¬ 
ameter for a bit, with holes drilled in 
each end to place a wire ring, and a strap 
to go over the head. Drill several small 
holes along the pipe. The cow cannot 
suck herself as long as the holes in the 
hit are kept open. It will not bother her 
while at pasture and can easily be re¬ 
moved a't the barn to eat. a. h. lyon. 
Thick Cream 
In the issue of July 12 I noticed a 
query from P. M. B. asking how thick 
cream may be obtained. We have a sep¬ 
arator which will give thick or thin 
cream by regulating the flow of the milk 
and the speed of the machine. If the 
milk is run into the separator slowly and 
the separator is turned at a high speed, 
the cream will be thicker than usual. Ir 
is not necessary to turn any screws or 
fuss with the machines at all. A. s. 
The old lady was timidly inspecting the 
stock of spectacles. “How much are 
these?” she asked, selecting a pair. “A 
dollar and a half, madam.” “And how 
much without the case?” “Well, the case 
makes little difference. Suppose we say 
$1.45.” “What? Is the case worth only 
5 cents?” “Yes, madam,” firmly. “Well. 
I’m very glad to hear it; it’s the case I 
want.” And, placing a nickel on the 
counter, the dear old lady took up the 
case and walked timidly into the street, 
while the optician gasped for breath.”—
