Feeding Corn Fodder.

fCCuihk AOTn Ou0efs
In recent bulletin of the Maryland
Experiment. Station attention is called
to the fact that the butts of the corn
fodder are very nearly as digestible as
the tops and leaves. The waste In
feeding long fodder is considerable.
but the idea that only the tops and
leaves were valuable has been ex-
plOded by the experiments at this and
other stations. At this time of the year
when fodder Is valuable, it is quite i'm
portant that farmers should realize the
real value Of every part of the corn
stalks. The cutting of fodder Is in
tended to save waste more than to
make 1t more digestible, although the
latter process may also be somewhat
helped by the operation. In bulletin
1O4, of the North Carolina Station, the
loss occasioned by pulling corn fodder
and leaving the stalks to rot in the
field Is treated ut considerable length.
The simplest way. 1t says, to get the
most food out of the corn plant, is to
cut close to the ground. AS far back as
March, 1893, the Maryland Station
published bulletin on the same sub
ject, in which it says that IAN ordinary
corn crop produces more dry matter
and more digestlble matter from an
acre than good crop of clover or tim
othy hay, the digestible matter in the
fodder alone being found to be equal 10
the digestible matter in two tons OF
either clover or timothy hay. The corn
fodder from one acre is worth more for
feeding purposes, when properly pre-
pared, than the corn ears from one
acre"

tanned by Mrs. Theile by being thrown

Crowley, Tobin, Fish and PAUL all spo ke
in favor of receiving something from
the syndicate as a guarantee TO protect
the town against exorbitsnt rate OF lights,
and when that was complied with they
would not OBJECT 10 their continuing
laying the pipes, but until that was done
they would demonstrate against the pc
titiop. Ex-Governor Wardwell and Isaac
Il. Williams thought there could be no
harm in allowing them 10 lay pipes TO
Pappoosesquash Corner, but nothing
definite was reached and the meeting ad-
journed 10 meet again Wednesday morn
ing, December II, at 10 O'Clock.
The town clerk was instructed,to notify
the treasurer of the Electric Light Com
pany OF 10 distribute any more pipes

: CRANsTON.

The defeated advocates OF a city charter
are slowly awakening from their hiher-
nation by the increasing warmth OF the
coming campaign.
Shall we or shall we not put the ques-
tion before the people again? Is the ques-
ton they are now trying TO decide.
1t is likely, from all accounts, that the
advocates OF the chatter are increasing in
number, and N ell probability the pro-
ject will carry.
There is a party arising in the town
who want some changes in the munici-
pal government. These people organ lied
under the name OF Good Government
Club" These same people helped before
TO defeat the city charter because 1t was
represented TO them that their pet reform
would never come under city govern
ment.
These people feel confident OF success
in the coming campaign, as do their
opponents, but there is one recourse for
the "Good Government Club" which
they propose TO take: TO unite with the
city charter people, IL by no other means
they secure their end, ana in this way
necessitate a second election under differ
ent circumstances.
That both parties are commencing early
allows prophesy for lively campaign.
That census is being taken of the pur-
chasable vote promises some sbaming
disclosures.
That the Republican ticket is about
ready allows much time for the opposition
10 pick flaws with the candidate.
Ii is likely that the defeated party, W hich-
ever, is defeated will try TO push the city
charter through.
