The best way to raise good fodder
corn IS to put it in drills thirty two in
ches apart, and give it two cultivatings.
This will give sun and air, and produce
vigorous growth with deep green
foliage, growing-some ears, which will
make the feed all the better. Corn and
millet may be cut at the same time,
and will make better food for cows if
mixed in the manger.
