shrcddins Corn Fodder.

Newspaper bulletin IS. Indiana ex-
pertinent station; During the past few
years unusual interest has been taken
by farmers In the subject OF shredding
fodder. Many have hesitaied to shred,
thinking that the shredded corn would
not keep well In the NOW or stack.
When shreddlng was first praoticed.
more or less fodder was shredded In a
somewhat damp condition. When
such corn was used Il invariably heat
ed In the NOV. became musty and
gave unsatisfactory results. A knowl-
edge OF such unsatisfactory preserva-
ton has restrained some people from
shredding their fodder. although had
the crop been properly handled there
Is little doubt but what these same per-
sons would have become indorsers OF
the process. Fodder that "a shredded

the most satisfactory results. II kept
well In the NOV. and was free from
mustlness. The cattle and sheep ate Il
freely. and Il was used well into the
spring with the stock. This fall we
will shred nearly all OF our 1896 crop.
Shredded fodder presents several Inn
portant points In its favor;
First-lt Is more economical TO feed
than the uncut corn. socond-h Is
eaten up cleaner by the stock than
most cut fodder Is. there being less
waste. due to the absence OF the hard
sharp-odred short butt piacos OF stalks
usually found In cut fodder Third
The refuse makes better material for
bedding than does whole stalks or cut
pieces. being FINER and softer. Fourth

and more into practice, and many
farmers are making use Of the process
shredders and huskers combined are
made. or the shrcdders may be bought
