wINrERING STOCK.

WINrERING STOCK.
How to winter stock on a short supply OF
forage. seems just now an important ques-
tion.
A gentleman had a pretty good pile oi
corn stalks, well saved. His stock consist
ed Of cows, and his team OF horses, but be
had little straw and less hay. He's a great
believer in the virtues of corn stalks, aud
thinks he knows how to feed them. Then
he fixed some tubs by saving good stout bar.
rels in two, and made good warm stable for
cattle.
The stalks were all cut, and more or less
straw was cut with them. Each COW was al
lowed all she could eat three times a day,
and the mess night and morning was fixed in
this wise THE cows at noon had a feed oil
dry cut stalks and straw, which they would
eat pretty clean except the coarser bits. Al
about o'clock these were gathered into the
tubs and enough more added 10 make the
evening meal. To this we add two quarts 81
cornmeal and two quarts Of bran and hot
water turned on, as much as would well mois-
ten the whole, and all well mixed. The
morning meal was the same, being mixed over
night or early in the morning. In this way,
no stalks were wasted. the cows gave goD,l
supply Of milk and increased in condition.
II vas some trouble. bur the manure paid
Tor that abundantly. On Lung island, where
it is the custom for the farmers TO sell their
hay, they keep their horses mainly on cut
stalks and ground feed, and their teams look
well. We can winter four times as much
stock upon an acre Of cornstalks as upon the
hay from an acre. and there is no profit in
growing hay for stock upon land that will
produce good corn. But the corn must be
ground aud the stalks cut, and cooked with
the meal. r. in Ner York Rural
