THE FARM AND HOME,
DISEASE RESULTING FROM
DAMAGED FODDER.
Grains Injured by Observation-Disclosures
Wagon Tlres-Peach Trees From
Cuttings-Farm Notes and
Home Hints.


i is a serious mistake to feed fodder
that has been damaged by rain and
wet weather to animals without first
busting it out TO dry. The injurious
effect which such food has upon stock
more than equals the entire loss of
all the fodder gathered. Such fodder
is gathered from marshy lands and
meadows that have been inundated
during the moving time Sedge hay
or common upland hay that has been
wet at the time OF moving will be
impregnated with disease germs that
will be communicated to the animals
that eat the hay. Stock of a very
robust nature will find their health
seriously impaired if fed regularly
upon such fodder.
A great deal OF sedge hay must be
cut and gathered when the feet OF the
plants are wet says the American
Cultivator. During many seasons the
meadows never get dry enough to al
low dry harvest The hay is gen
orally stacked for fodder in the barn
yard. and in very few weeks mold
and rot show themselves near the
bottom aud around the sides If this
decomposition goes on long enough
the stock will refuse to eat it and as
a rule nearly one-third of the stack Is
sheer waste. The storms OF winter
only aggravate the matter and make
the hay poorer than in the fall 1t is
a cheaper fodder however and prob
ably the manure which it forms
eventually pays for the work Of gath
ering it Otherwise the great loss
would make it Improbable to cut salt
hay.
All fodder thus stacked when it is
wet whether it is salt hay fresh up
land hay, corn fodder or any plant
growth will contain disease germs
which under favorable circumstances
will develop rapidly. The heat OF
the stack and the constant moisture
are just the conditions that are need
ed to develop fungi The color of the
fodder changes gradually. and the
odor that arises from it when moved
is strong and disagreeable.
II such damaged fodder is to be
given to stock. the ration of each day
should be hauled out of the stack and
shaken up so thoroughly that the
wind will dry it. and all odor will be
destroyed. In this way the wind and
sun will dry it and make it safer for
food for the stock After it has been
dried it will be well to moisten it a
little with a weak salt or acid solu-
ton This not only destroys disease
germs. but makes the fodder more
palatable for the animals.
Grains are often damaged in the
same way. and fed in u mouldy con
dihon to the animals. There is just
as much danger in the grain as in the
fodder ration. Damaged grain is
often bought by farmers for cheaper
rates and stock is kept upon them
right along. This is not so cheap as
the pure grains if it is going 10 in
jure the health OF the animals New
ertheless all danger can be avoided
by busting the grain out well and
moistening it with the weak solutions
mentioned. In this country and
abroad it is quite a common thing to
feed wet damaged fodder TO animals
