WASTE OF CORN FODDER,
Valuable Food That Should BE Turn
ed Into Profitable Meat,

Professor Shaw renews his plea for
greater economy upon the western
farm. OF that most palpable and use
less extravaganza witnessed in ninety
nine out of every hundred cornfields he
says:
The waste of corn fodder in the Mis-
sissippi valley is a grievous waste In
the aggregate the uncut corn must
amount to millions and millions of
acres And one acre in those states
where the season is long grows so
much food. In recent ride from
Omaha to Kansas City for more than
half day the train steamed along
through cOrnfields nearly all of which
were uncut.
There was enough of uncut corn in
this one part Of the Missouri valley to
feed hundreds of thousands Of cattle
through all the winter. All this valu-
able food will waste, and it is only a
fragmentary portion of the waste that
will take place all up and down the
Mississippi and many of it's tributaries.
The day will come when all this will
change. The. day will come when it
must change. At one time the greatest
profit may thus have been obtained BY
large holders Of land. 1t may be so
still. But surely in those days of high
priced meat and Of shredders more
money could be made by using more Of
this valuable food. The people in those
areas where this practice prevails will
be hard indeed to persuade to change
their ways, the force of habit is SO
powerful, but it is a change that ought
to be brought about

Breeding Mules.

We are Of opinion that mule breed
Ing has been too much neglected in the
south and perhaps elsewhere. The
mule is really the most useful draft
animal on the farm and by far the
most economical. For real rough farm
work mules are better than horses.
They are not quite so speedy as horses,
but there is much blowing on every
farm that cannot be done both rapillv
and well, and for steady pulling at q
UNIFORM speed the mule has no equal.
Ihey are harder and more easily kept
and more cheaply fed than horses, and
when grown for market they are al
ways ready sale at higher prices than
farm horses. Large mares and we'll
bred jacks are needed to produce mules
that will bring 5000 at 2 years old. !,
