Fodder Pulling-Important.

The following letter from Mr. Geo. Sea-
born, well known as the late experienced
editor Of the Farmer and Planter, seems
to possess much of interest to the plant.
ing community. Facts are stubborn
things, and the result Of experiments AZ
detailed below present considerations wor
thy Of notice.
MIR. EDrToR:-I promised you state
ment Of the result of an experiment made
to ascertain what loss corn would sustain
from being deprived of its blades at the
usual time Of taking fodder and, also,
whether cutting the corn at the roots, az
Ter the blades become dry to the ear,
would lessen the product.
Twelve short rows, AS near equal ia ap.
pearance as could be found 10 the field,
were set apart for the experiment. OF
the twelve rows, No. /, 4, and 10 were
left with the blades 90 until thew were
generally dry to the ear, and on some
stalks even to the top, then cut up at the
roots and shocked on the field until the
other corn was gathered, lher hauled in
and shucked from the stalk. No, 2, 5, 8
and eleven were left with the blades on ::
and No. 3, @, Q and IL we're stripped off
their blades as late as is usual with u.s.
Now for the result:
No. l., 4, land 10, when shelled meas.
ured four pecks, one gallon, two quarts
and one pint, and weighed seventy and a
half lbs.
No. 2, 5, 8 and IL, measured four
pecks, one gallon, two quarts, and one
and half pints, and weighed seventy
one and half lbs.
No. 8, 6, 0 and ~, measured four
pecks, half pint and weighed fifty five
lbs.
The fodder that was taken from the
last numbers was carefully cured and
kept TO itselfand weighed eighteen pounds
which, added TO the corn from which it
was taken amounted to seventy-three
pounds, but one and half pounds more
than the corn alone from which no blades
were taken, and TWO and baR pounds
more than that cut up at the roots. This
experiment proves concIusively 10 my
mind, what long since believed, that by
pulling fodder we deprive the corn OF the
weight, or very nearly so Of the fodder
when cured. And furthermore, that we
would be better employed in making hay
than in making fodder from our corn. /
neglected to mention il its proper place
that the corn was all we'll and equally
dried before being measured and weighed
