PULLING.


1t has been shown that pulling fod-
der ilninishes the yield Of the grain
somewhat. Nevertheless, the practice
is too firmly established in the south
to be discontinued soon. In fact, there
is no forage so universally liked by ,
stock as weli-curcd corr blades. Cows
will eat even damaged fodder in prefer
ence to the best hay. This liking for
fodder is probably owing to the easy
digestibility Of the nutrients contained
in it. Corn is a great plant anyhow.
Some writers advise to cut and
shock the cornstalks after the man
ner of the Yankees. My own expert
ence in this line wa not at all encour-
aging. The corn was cut at about the
fodder-pulling stage, and put in shocks
containing % to 40 stalks. 1t was a
very laborious task, much slower than
stripping off the blades. The grain
rotted badly and IA much eaten by
weevils. An acquaintance had q like,
though ever worse experience. l am
inclined to think that it will not do to
cut our big corn in July or August. 1t
would probably answer very well to
cut a small variety in September, when
fodder is pulled; it should not be left on
the stalks until fully cured. It's better
to letit cure partly in the stack, even it
necessary to tear down the stalk and
air the fodder q few hours. The most
perfect fodder is made by the follow
ing method. Strip and hang on stuiks
in the usual manner; after II few hours,
when the small ends of the blade have
cured, take the punches, unite them,
put several of them together in a small
bundle, tie near the small ends, and
hang the bundles back on the stalks
until cured. They will cure in a short
while when managed in this way,
and make the most, delicious forage
known. Fodder should always be
treated thus, in case a shower falls
while it is hanging on the stalk.
Some OF the incest fodder that l have
ever seen was wet while in the bench,
was united, the butt ends shaken out
loose, bound into small bundles, leav-
ing the thick ends loose, placed back
on the stalks for q short time, then
stacked before fully cured. 1t looked
dark. as II steamed, but had a pleasant
smell, and was very acceptable to
mules.
Fodder is very uncertain reliance, be-
cause often s'iowery weather spoils the
most Of it. Farmers should therefore
learn to make hay, which has the ad.
vantage, too, Of being much cheaper
