works of which it has come into

the processes can be carried on more
economically. This will of course be
a hard blow to the localities which
lose the industries, and may mean ruin
to many people. But after all is il not
based on sound principle2 II one
point is favored by natural advantages,
either in transportation, fuel or other

private interests, but of such is the

the drug stores for which Rutland is

stock, but the rear is equipped with an

WHAT KIND OF CORN TO PLANT
A Question That the Vermont Farmer
is Now Asking.


Last spring the Vermont Expert
ment Station planted four varieties OF
corn ON three different parts of its
farm. Sanford, Red Cob, Leaning
and large Virginia corn were chosen.
They were separately harvested en-
sihged and fed. The Sanford grew g
feet tall, and matured; the Red Cob,
s - feet and partly glazed its ears
the Leaning and Virginia corns, 9 -
end IL l-2 feet respectively, the ears
arriving at the milk stage. The yields
of green fodder per acre We're San
ford 9, Red Cob IA, Leaning l6 and
Virginia IL tons. The yields OF food
matter to the acre were Sanford rs,
Red Cob 3 II, Leaning and Virgin
ia corn Is tons.
The Sanford corn. being most ma
ture, kept best in the silo and came
out with an exceedingly small loss.
The Red Cob corn lost comparatively
little, the other two immature coTns
much, as such wet material always
must, in the silo or out of it. As a
result, therefore, the actual food which
reached the cows managers from an
acre of Sanford corn which only grew
9 tons of green fodder, was nearly as
great as from an acre of the Virginia
corn which grew II tons, and greater
than from an acre of Leaning corn
which grew l6 tons. The Red Cob
matured better than hitherto at the
station farm and its foed yield exceed
ed that OF the Sanford slightly. This
result is exceptional.
The Sanford silage was the best and
heartiest of the four and the cows did
better on it than on either of the other
silages
These trials confirm others hitherto
made at the Vermont ana other sta
tons. They show that the extra
growth OF the big varieties over those
like the Sanford is practically all
water. He wno grows such must
handle in the field, on, the wagons and
on the silage cutter from to $ tons of
extra water TO the acre. He must fur
nish silo room for it and then labori-
ously lift il out of the silo and carry II
10 the cattle. This extra water has no
food value whsteyer. II Is better and
cheaper all around to water the cattle
in some other way.
