Woodrow Teague of Prentiss is shown * * feeding corn to his homemade corn shredder which is powered by a 5 H. jP. electric motor. Looking on with interest is .Douglas, the youngest member of the family. Mr. Teague combined the rollers from an old shredder with his ensilage cutter to do the job of snapping the ear corn from the stalks and bloving the fodder into ,his barn loft. A small electric fan is mounted below the snap-rolls to blow the chaff and dust from the ear corn. By using electric power Mr. Teague saves renting any equipment. He uses his jeep to haul in the corn from the field. In addition, the operat ing cost of the motor is about 5c"per hour as com pared with the much more expensive operation of a tractor. Earlier in the season, Mr. Teague also used the same 5 H. P. motor successfully to fill one of his 35 ft. silos, using a Model L Papec cutter. One 5 H. P. motor will grind your feed for 3c per 100 lbs., fill your silo for 2c per ton, saw your wood for 3c per cord, cure your hay for 75c per ton, bale your hay for 4c per ton and do many other jobs for you to make farming easier and mere profitable.
