such a course is to be found in her in

Rural New Yorker expresses the
opinion that the cost of cutting corn
fodder may amount to more than the
Increased value when the farmer has
to pay regular hired mans wages for
turning hand cutter. This matter Of
cutting up fodder is one of the opera
lions OF the farm that requires whole
sale power in order to make 1t profit
able. There are men who feed corn
stalks to cattle without even husk-
ing the ears. They reason that what
the cows leave the hogs and poultry
will make use of. so that the waste
is not large enough to balance the cost
OF husking, Smelling, grinding and cut
ting. This cost OF cutting up the fod-
der must be reduced to the lowest limit
before 1t will pay to attempt 1t. The
new shredding machines promise to
give new value to the corn crop, be-
cause they will do the work cheaply
and quickly. Our experiment stations
should now find out for us the best
way to keep the shredded fodder with
