have fed the cornstalks that grew
on my farm for fifty years, and often
thought they paid well for the labor of
raising the crop. Large, coarse stalks
are not best for fodder; the more tender
and full of leaves the better They
must be cut while green and thoroughly
well cured. After the grain is threshed
and the barns empty there is room to
store stalks, and, if well cured and dry
when put in, they keep as well as hay,
and cost no more per ton. My stalks
are fed mainly to cows and young grow
ing cattle. in dry open yards, being
properly distributed before the cattle are
turned out. If the yards are dry there
will be no waste if the quantity is suit
able. Nothing should be fed in the
mud. Stalks fed in managers to horses,
cattle or sheep handle best, and the
work is less if cut. They are sometimes
cut with the corn on, unhusked, and
used with good results to fatten cattle
and sheep. But they can not be cut
without the expense of machinery and
labor, which amounts to considerable;
and when there are COWS and young
cattle. with suitable yards for those OF
each kind and age to get exercise, they
supply desirable change of food keep
them busy, yet quiet and contented,
while they grow and thrive better and
get more strength and vigor than if fed
