FODDER CORN
AS A CROP.
1t Has Many Merits and a Special
Value.
CULTIVATED AT SMALL COST
Not a Troublesome Crop, But Watchful-
ness and Judgment Must Be Exer-
ciSed in Order to Get the
Best Results.
AT SMALL COST

The value of corn fodder cannot be esti-
mated. In some sections it is regarded as
one of the adjuncts of the corn crop, which
is Indispensable on all farms, and in other
sections it is not considered of great import
ance. 1t depends, however, upon the stage
OF progress of the growth of the crop, when
it is cut, and also how it is cared for after
being harvested. Ensilage has become a
leading article offood on all regulated farms,
and is considered the best food that can
be produced. On farms where there are no
silos the growing of a crop of corn exclu-
sively for fodder has been considered an
economical method of adding TO the store
OF provender. 1t is crop that may be
planted somewhat later than the crop in
tended to produce ears, and requires but
little cultivation compared with its value.
1t is almost a sure crop, as it can be cut at
any stage of its growth but should not be
cut, if it can be avoid until the ears begin
to glaze.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-09

Never leave piece of land idle. If there
is field upon which no crop is to be grown
it will pay to seed it down to something,
which can be plowed under. In this man
ner the weeds will be destroyed and green
matter added to the soil, which in time
assists in forming humus, and especially if
a small quantity of lime is broadcasted
over it.
Considering the fact that potatoes are
subject to scab it is better to use fertilizers
than manure. While manure will give
good results on all crops, yet it will be just
as serviceable on corn as on potatoes, the
latter crop being much less liable to disease
than corn.
Kerosene is the best remedy to prevent
rustng of tools. Keep q supply in II con-
venient place, dip soft sponge in it,
squeeze the sponge and mosten the mple-
ments with kerosene. 1t will save the
also lessen labor by keeping them bright
and clean.
When covering small seeds he careful not
to have too much earth over them. They
cannot push through the ground after
termination in some soils, and especially
where the land bakes. Such seeds as car
rots, parsnips, turnips, kale cabbage, etc,
require only slight sprnkling of dirt for
a covering Beets, peas and other large
seeds may be planted deeper, but half an
inch of dirt is sufficient for them
A Toulouse, or a place for every tool,
would save much time. When the time
lost from searching for tools is estimated
(if it can be done it will be demonstrated
that the cost is sufficient in some cases to
purchase complete outfit of tools.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-09
CURING THE FODDER.

If fodder corn is grown for the purpose
of providing green food during the summer
it can be used at almost any stage of
growth. but it will pay to grow a crop for
the winter. In such cases the curing of the
fodder is a point which demands care
Like hay, it should be we'll cured and yet
not he allowed to become too dry; and ii
should also be stored under shelter and in
place convenient for use. If the land is
rich it may be seeded down in the rows as
close as peas, but should be kept clear Of
weeds. When to harvest and cure depends
on what is to be done with it. If fed green
it needs no handling, except to place it
before stock, but in the curing for winter
the object should be to preserve the juices
as much as possible hence it should be cut
on dry day, wilted quickly in the sun
and then stored away in a manner not to
be too closely packed. An enormous
amount of fodder can be grown by the drill
method, and it is always highly relished
by stock.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-09
;iUCCuLENT FOOD.

The fodder from crop of corn is usually
well cured and it often happens that it is
cut down too late the blades becoming
yellow. There is a right time to cut fod.
der, and day or two of delay may mater
tally affect its value. When crop is grown
for fodder it may be drilled thick ly in the
rows and cut while the stalks and blades
are in succulent condition. If cut when
the small ears are about to glaze the nul-
tious matter flowing up to nourish the ears
will be arrested in the stalks, while more
water will be also contained therein. As
the nearer the stalks approach maturity
the greater the proportion of woody fibre,
and also of indigestible matter, it is plain
that the more succulent stalks will provide
a relatively larger proportion of digestibe
material, while the stalks will also be finer
and more easily masticated containing a
large proportion of sugar and consequently
is more highly relished by cattle.
