Feeding Corn Fodder.

tural College, In an article on the value
of corn fodder says; One half Of the
corn crop I, in the fodder or stover and
1t is certainly very bad policy to work
all summer to develop crop and then
allow very large share of it to be
wasted. 1t may be argued that if the
cattle are turned into the stalks to pick
them over it will not be wasted. To
this we would answer that ordinarily
but small percentage of it is saved by
this method. What the animals do get
is usually of second class quality owing
to the teaching of it by the rains. A
great deal of the best part of it is broken
off by the winds and is on the ground.
Frequently the animals are compellei l
to eat quite portion of the stalks in
this leached condition but the result is
such a loss of flesh in them that it
makes the cost of getting their food in
this way more than it is worth.
There is no better rough feed on the
farm for cattle, sheep or horses than
corn fodder properly cured and fed in
the proper way. Those who think diff
ferently evidently base their judgment
upon improper methods of feeding it or
upon the results obtained from pastur-
ing stalk fields.
We never had colts go into spring
work In better shape and stand up to it
as we'll with as little trouble from har-
ness bruises or galding as when they
had been carried through the winter on
nothing but corn fodder.
The chief objection that is made to
the use of shock corn is the difficulty of
handling it. But we think we never
fed sheep with as little labor as by
the above method and we saved the
husking and thrashing bills.
A farm of a gwen size can carry
almost if not double the stock if the
corn is all cut up and the fodder prop.
erly utilized. A very much larger
amount of rough feed is secured in this
way from given piece of ground than
as though it were in meadow and the
land that has been given over to mead.
ow can be turned into pasture.
We have frequently carried cattle
horses and sheep through the winter
with practically no hay and with ex-
cellent results. The past winter We
very frequently heard the remark made
by visitors when locking over the col
lege herd of dry cattle that if they had
the kind of feed the college had they
could have their cattle looking fine too.
Now as matter of fact those cattle
had nothing all winter in the way of
feed that any farmer who raises corn
and oats may not provide. The most
of the time they had nothing but shock
corn spread on a good, clean blue grass
sod in sheltered spot. During some
Of the most stormy weather they had ar
additional feed of shesf oats, which
they would clean up well and these cat
tie were as fat all the time as breeding
cattle ought to be. This we realize Ii
not very definite statement as there is
avery wide range of opinion as to how
fat breeding animal ought to be-
We will discuss that point later. Suf
flee it to say in explanation that the re
mark was frequently made that the!
