Yalne of Corn stalks.

The corn shredder is learning the
farmers to save all the corn fodder they
have. One farmer refused to buy a
corn reaper because 1t did not cut close
enough to the ground. The Maine
Farmer says that in well-grown corn
the lower six inches of the stalk repre-
sents a ton Of fodder to the acre, which
may be one-tenth of the crop. Chemists
have told us that the stalk below the
ear is much more valuable In food ele-

and when reduced by shredding it will
be all eaten.
