A Handy Fodder Stack,

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep and be handiest in getting at
when feeding is often a question given
much thought by the farmer. This
method possesses many advantages
that will recommend it above othersl
Set two posts twelve or sixteen feet
apart where you wish the stack to be.
Across from one to the other, four and
a half or five feet from the ground,
spike a 2 by t. Stand the fodder
against this with the butts on the
ground and the smaller ends coming
together at the top. There should be
space of two or three feet at the bot.
tom. This will give the rat dog and
cat an opportunity to keep the stack
clear of mice. This stack will turn
the rain and snow of winter, will keep
dry and bright and when used will
not be opened to the weather, as no
stalks are left exposed by removing
the top.-Farm Journal

In Place of a Si1o.

Not every farmer has a silo or

ears from his corn slower and have
the grain ground, and the cob, too, il
he so wishes, then have the slower

takes it to the barn have it cut into
pieces not more than half inch long
and shorter if possible. Then moisten
it with warm water If such Is conven.

up to steam for twenty-four hours at
least before feeding. Put on each
cows ration as much and such grain
as her condition calls for, and If she
does not do as well as she would OH

corn slower. If obliged to wet it with
cold water, it will be better for stand

HOW NlcKeLs AND PENNIES GO.
