That are yellow with riFening grain.

Fodder Corn.
Empire State Agneulturist. |


While il is vet time we wish to urge upon
farmers the importance of having supply
of good, sweet fodder on hand during the
winter, for the COWS, horses and young cattle
will appreciate 1t and pay well for all the
expense it has been to secure it. We prefer
TO sow il in June, though 1t may be soWn
!. earlier if desired; but if not sown be.
fore June (sOme farmers even SOW as late
Is july there Is not so much pressing
Ork on hand as there is earlier in the
ason ard the work can then be done better
Id at less expense. 1t is useless to attempt
to raise a good crop of fodder corn
on poor land, for it must have rich soil to
produce heavily, and when good land Is
further enriched with a good top dressing of
well decomposed stable manure the growth
will be heavy and fine. The land should be
Awell ploWed and narrowed, and the corn
llOse rows. Some planters plow the land and
&nen sow the corn, first treating the grain to
ating of ter and ashes to keep the birds
-aom taking it, the narrowing covering it
nicely. As rule, when it can be put in in
drills, it is surer of making a good growth
especially when sown late in the season.
Common field corn makes good fodder. but
we would recommend using sweet corn IN
preference, on account of its being more nu-
tritious, and il is also better liked by the
stock. When well cured it is more valuable
1 for feeding purposes ,hsn the best hay OBJ
tainable.
