eas experiment iation says that in an
average season red hafir corn viii ma
ture in about ~ o. il weeks. Planted
ia the middle or latter part 81 May, the
seed is ripe by the middle Of September,
and it should be harvested at once.
The fodder viii remain green until
frost, bat this fact should not be made
an excuse for putting off the harvest
ing. The earlier it is cut after the seed
is ripe the more time viii there y for
the stalks to cure, which is an essential
point, especially if the fodder IS stacked.
Any of the many good corn cutters on
the market win do the work. When
the seed has d. ed cut sufficiently 50 it
can be stored. which condition it viii
not reach until the end OF November,
il should be threshed. 1t is true that
many growers feed the crop as it comes
from the shock, seed and all, but it is
wasteful way TO handle it, though Of
course the cost Of threshing and grind
lag must be taken into consideration,
and doubtless there are considerations
under which this cost viii exceed the
value Ct the waste incurred by feeding
without threshing or grinding One
way Of proceeding is to gather the heads
ia the field, as corn is gathered, before
the crop is cut. 4 better way IS to cut
the heads off in the stock after the
seed is dry, and thresh them at once.
We have on one occasion threshed the
whole stalk, but this has the objection
that the fodder is badly broken up, and
Il also requires that the stalks shall
he well cured in order to avoid heating
when stacked. We have also threshed
il by taking each armful of fodder and
sticking the heads into the cylinder for
an instant; but this method requires
too much handling of the whole crop
and IS, therefore. not desirable, unless
the fodder in the process of stacking or
storing away must be handled any
way. KS in the handling of corn fod-
der, it is desirable to save as much time
as possible. The seed IS hard and
brittle. especially the red sort, and will
sometimes crack badly in threshing
When this is the case it can largely be
remcdied by removing the concave in
the thresher ard putting III boards in
stead. Tor the reason noted above the
seed should be ground and the finer the
better. ia order to utilize it to the best
advantage
