When to Cut Corn.


der before 1t reaches a sufficient degree
of maturity, and there is also heavy
loss In allowing fodder to become over
ripe, The error of cutting too early is
perhaps most frequently made, and it
is very easy to cause variation OF
five bushels of corn per acre accom-
panied by corresponding variation in
growth of stalk. "In cutting one
fifth acre plsts of evenly grown corn
at intervals of week from Septem-
ber II to October 49," writes Prof. G.
F. Curtiss, of the Iowa Experiment
Station, cit was found that the stover
of a corn crop did not reach It's high
eat yield and greatest feeding value
per acre until the ears had become
we'll dented and the blades had begun
to dry, which In that instance occurred
September "a. In the same test the
highest yield of corn and highest feed.
ing value per acre were not secured
until week later, October 6, when the
ears were we'll hardened and the blades
about half dry. The highest yield of di-
gestible nutrients per acre, considering
both corn and stoVer, would probably
be secured soon after the corn had
reached the condition first described,
for the stoVer was then at Its Lest in
yield and quality, and the corn was
within one bushel Of its highest yield.
This trial indicated clearly that 1t does
not pay to cut corn before the ears are
fairly we'll dented, for between the cut.
ting just before the denting Of the ker-
nels and that described above on Octo.
Der 6 there was q difference of over ten
bushels of corn per acre. While good
forage is a prime object In securing
corn-fodder, the yield Of corn cannot
be safely ignored, and fortunately it
need not be, for the stover and corn
both improve until a reasonable de-
gree of ripeness is attained. Imms-
ture corn is improbable and unsstis-
factory for feeding. After the corn
plant is fully ripened, however, the
deterioration of the stoVer sets in
early and progresses very rapidly, and
corn stalks lose half of their dry mat
ter and more than half of their feed
ing value by standing In the field sixty
days after maturity is reached. Corn
cut in the right stage of growth may
be put into large shocks when not wet
with dew or rain, with no danger Of
spelling, and will come out with bright,
green stalks and blades and Well-ms-
tured ears. 1t is best not to cut while
the dew is on, for the moisture some
times induces heating and molding in
the shock. A well-msde shock, se-
curely and closely tied, Is an impor-
tsnt requisite IL the fodder is to stand
in the field long. In tying, a useful
device consists of a wooden pin about
two and half feet long, with rope
attached near the larger end. Push
this pin into the shock near the top up
to the point of attachment of the rope,
take the loose end of the rope, walk
around the shock, draw 1t tightly and
fssten to the pin; then the shock is in
better position for binding, and in less
time than can be done with the bind
ing. tWine alone. When the shock Is

The Club met on Friday evening last. Af
ter hearing the minutes of last meeting, the
Club completed the study of Shakespeare for
the present, by reading the last act of the
play which has engaged their attention for
the past month. Discussion as to the char
actcr of greatest prominence followed. 1t
was generally agreed that the dramatic inter-
est centered in Brutus, though Cassus might
be considered in some respects the stronger
character.
Miss Hammett then gave an interesting
sketch of the life of Marcus Antony. He was
prominently soldier, unused to the arts OF
society. and though a man of dissolute char
acter, had many rcdeeming traits, notably
his fidelity to his friends.
The few political forecasts which were
given in response to the presidents request
were read, after which a vote by ballot
was taken on the course of study tor the
winter. A program will be constructed,
meeting as far as possible the wishes Of the
