WIC MOTORIZED SILAGE WAGON
WITH HYDROSTATIC SPEED CONTROL
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT
ON EFFICIENCY
★ Electric of Gas Operated
★ Regular Feed Discharge or No Competitor Can Beat The Wic Choppers
40” High Feed Discharge For Performance And Cost
The NEW Hydra-static speed control gives you a choice of speeds from
slow to fast. With a touch of the pedal the wagon moves forward or
backward; release the pedal and it automatically brakes. You also have a
regular feed discharge or a 40-inch high discharge from one or two sides.
The WIC Silage Wagon is operated by gas or electric and available in 30-,
45- or 52-bushel sizes. With the 16-inch wheels it goes wherever you want
to take it.
ELECTRIC REDDING CHOPPER
Wic also makes an electric 200 volt a c
chopper or a 24 volt d c battery operated
chopper including an automatic charger.
These two models are equipped in the
factory with a manual starter panel and
are protected by fuses to diminish risk of
accidents
Very quietr these bedding choppers are
mostly used on small or medium sized
farm As well as being mobile the 220 volt
a c model can be installed stationary

Hie Stresses of Fall
At this time of the year, there are
a number of things that can stress
cowsand throw them into a tither.
I was reminded of this fact by a
number of phone calls I received in
recent, weeks concerning herd
health problems. There were a
number of possibilities for these
problems, and I share some of
these thoughts with' you in the
following paragraphs.
In late summer, many of our
streams and summer pastures
dried up. Stagnant water ac
cummulated in our streams and
ponds and the concentration of
algae and pollutants increased.
Normally these problems would
not exist, or it would have been
diluted out by increased rates of
water flow. Some of the algaes
produce toxins which can affect
cattle. Thus, it is advisable that
cattle not be allowed to -consume
stagnant water, and water troughs
should be cleaned regularly.
When pastures dry up, about all
that thrives is weeds, some of
which may be poisonous. Nor
mally, these poisonous weeds pose
no problem to cattle as long as they
have a handy supply of other good
feed to eat. Cattle usually avoid
these poisononh weeds, probably
because of their undesirable flavor
and odors. What few weeds they
may consume are diluted out by
good feed
However, when cows ih the
“back forty” for an extended
period of time, and no other feed is
conveniently available, they may
relish the opportunity to browse on
anything that is handy even
poisonous weeds. We, therefore,
should attempt to eliminate these

hazards from our pastures by
frequent clipping and with the
proper use of herbicides. Observe
.what weed problems exist now,
‘ and make a vow to do something
about them next year.
Changing Feeds
For many cows, this time of the
year is a time of drastic and
sudden changes in the feeding
program. We are switching from
one kind of forage to another.
Soiqptimes these changes are
rather frequent during the harvest
season. During this time, cows are
sometimes forced to consume hot,
uncured silages, and some may be
exposed to breathing toxic silo
gases.
It is always desirable to have a
supply of forage to feed from while
silos are being filled and silage is
curing. This is not always possible,
but it is worth striving for.
To keep the ration balanced
during these periods of changes, it
is necessary to do some forage
testing" and feed programming.
This takes some forward planning.
It usually invovles sampling some
forages at harvest time, and re
testing them at a later date.
Confining Cows For Winter
We are into the season of rapidly
changing weather. It’s a .time of
the year when bam ventilation is
critical. Ventilation systems need
to be able to adjust to rapidly
changing weather conditions and
they need to provide cattle with
fresh air without creating drafts.
Or, buildings need to be designed
in such a way so they have plenty
of fresh air. In other cases, cattle
can be given the freedom to select
their own comfort zone; this is one
of the big advantages of a 'well-

hutch.
Speaking of calf hutches, what
provisions do you have for calves
when they come out of hutches? It
should be cold housing, with lots of
fresh air, and pens for small
groups of about 4 heifers.
Ideally, the pens for smaller
heifers should be away from, or up
wind from, older heifers and cows.
Frequently, these young calves
have not developed enough im
munity to fight off disease
■ -organisms from the older stock in.
. the herd, ideally, they should not
be breathing the same air.
It is always good to work closely
with your local veterinarian to
discuss and develop immunization
programs that are applicable to
your specific needs.
If you do not have adequate
facilities to accommodate calves
coming out of hutches, an alter
native approach might be to start
your calves indoors this fall and
save the hutches for late winter
calves. The disease organism load
in the bam should be at its lowest
level at this time of the year.
Calves started indoors now,
could be kept inside all winter and
allowed to develop an immunity to
whatever organisms exist. As the
winter progresses,- and the
organism levels build up, start the
calves outside in the hutches, and
let them there until spring. By
then, they’ll probably be big
enough to carry the hutch away,
but at least you haven’t stressed
them by exposing them at a young
age to warm housing and disease
organisms that are common to the
herd.
As we bring cows indoors for the
winter, we are also subjecting
them to more concrete stress.
Thus, it is desirable to keep stalls
well maintained and as com
fortable as possible. Exercise,
particularly on an earthen lot, can
also help relieve some of the
stress.
Remember, cows are creatures
of habit. They, like to be com
fortable, and they have to be
..healthy to produce well With all
these changes and stresses we
subject cows to, it is any wonder
that cows “act up”, go off feed and
off milk? Our challenge is to keep
these to a minimum. Pamper your
cows, and they’ll probably pamper
you in return.
Wic has perfected a three point hitch PTO chopper
activated by the power of your tractor. Easy to in
stall, it is ideal for free-stalls, or in strawberry fields
for mulching purposes.
