Many tests have shown that the
shredded corn fodder needs after
shredding to be put where 1t will be
kept dry. All attempts to stack it have
given unfavorable results. 1t has heat
ed and spoiled, and those who tried
1t in this way have been ready to con-
demn it. This is not so much because
it does not pack closely in the stack.
for the bulk of the long fodder seems
to be reduced by the shredding pro-
cess, but 1t is so fine that the rain
penetrates easily when dry, and when
wet it swclls and becomes so compact
that the air does not enter 1t to dry 1t
out. The long fodder with Its finty
casing literally flinty because it is
largely silicate of potash on the out
side does not absorb water excepting
at the ends or places where the stalk
is broken. and then 1t does not pass
farther than to the joints each side.
Those who try shredding fodder should
do so when 1t is perfectly dry, and then
put 1t where it will keep dry. Iffnot
so, the porous center of the stalk abb
serbs moisture, then swells so as to re-
fuse the admission of air to dry 1t out,
and then the next thing is heating or
fermentation, to be quickly followed by
mould, and food that is unfit for cat
tie and especially for mich cows, and
dangerous to the health of young ami
mals.-New England Farmer.

The shavings Of ice are swept into the

Ing cold, little water is sprinkled over
the whole surface to cement the layer
solidly together.
AS each layer is completed the saw
dust should be filed in around the
sides level with the top and solidly
stamped down. Allow no sawdust to
remain on top of the various layers
until the icehouse is filled. Ice is pre-
served by being packed away from
the air. AS hot weather canes on the
ice will settle some. Be sure to keep
the sawdust tamped down around the
sides frequently during early summer
and see that no airholes form. When
the ice is all packed in, cover with ten

1t has become an almost universal
custom to sow wheat in the corn stub
BILE, but as the results are not always
all that could be wished, 1t is evident
that, in some cases at least, there is
something wrong with the plan. Wheat
growers know well that the grain re
quires soil rich in fertility, and they
also know that corn drains the fertil.
ity of the soil sadly, hence it follows
that the soil must be strong i'll fertil-
ity to give both the corn and the wheat
crop.
If the soil is not strong then the only
possible advantage in using the corn
field is in the fact that it has been
well cultivated during the growing sea-
son, and consequently is in good shape,
without much labor for the wheat seed.
1t is quite probable that any fairly fer
tile soil plowed early and well prepared
for the seed bed would produce quite
as good results in the wheat crop as the
corn stubble field unless the soil of
the latter was strong in fertility.-In.

Poultry Raising Pays on Farm.


Poultry Raising Pays on n Farm.
There are many reasons why poultry
raising can be made profitable on a
farm. One very important reason is
that all the food necessary to raise
chickens is grown on the farm, ready
for use. A great part of the living of
a chicken can be picked up by himself;
especially is this true where cattle are
fed extensively. Much of the chick
ems living is made from things that
would otherwise go to waste. The in
sects that might be bothersome indeed
serve for old Biddy's relish. All farm
animals. to thrive well. need some
shelter from winters storms and sum-
mer's heat. This is one of the most
expensive items in the care of horses
or dairy animals. but with all kinds
of poultry very small shelter will
accommodate large number. Just
along the same line comes the thought
of Enclosures. All other farm animals
have to be fenced in to keep them
home or in the right place Mt home,
while the poultry roam over the whole
farm.-Green's Fruit Grower.
