Shocking Corn.


One of the great objections farmers
have to harvesting corn fodder is that
the grain is seriously damaged by the
opera ton. In fact, they say oftentimes
1t will not terminate, and Is always
more or less chaffy, light in weight,
and otherwise not equal to corn per-
mitted TO remain IN the field, or until
after several frosts. A casual exam
nation of the way the shocks are
made on many farms would convince
one that complaints made about get
ting an inferior grain might be expect
ed. for the shock will not turn water
will not let water that happens to get
in to the shock out quickly, and is, in
fact, so much on the ground that 1t Is
practically wet all the time. 1t is not
a difficult task so to handle both fod-
der and corn ms 10 have a fine forage
from the fodder and still secure the
grain that is in every way equal to
standing grain.
The corn crop IS often cut too green.
Frequently the stalk becomes brown.
the blades turning yellow and the ear
still soft and full of sap. In such in
stances the cutting should be slow,
putting up quarter and half shocks
over the entire area, giving the inside
center of the shock an opportunity to
dry, then later finish the shock. Where
the corn binder IS used the harvesting
should be such as to save the fodder
with as little damage to the corn as
possible This requires Judgment.
Then in shocking set four bundles in
the four corners made by the horse,
tie them tightly near the top, remove
horse and place n bundle on each OF
the four sides in the center This
leaves corner between the four bun
dies so located that it may be made
to contain two bundles each When
the center bundles are placed around
the first four eight bundles are up and
the shock IS onc-half finished. FIJI
ing between with two bundles makes
the shock, which contains sixteen bun
dies. The shock is small, we'll bal
anced, and when drawn well together
near the top 1t IS tied twice. The bun
dies in such a shock may be set well
apart at the bottom. permitting good
ventilation The binder cuts such a
low stub that the ear in the shock is
high from the ground In cutting by
hand the careless shocker usually cuts
high stubs, then he throws the fodder
together The high cutting causes the
ear on the stalk TO he near the ground
or more probably on the ground, caus-
ing serious damage to the grain Corn
fodder should be cut rs low ms posi-
bic, that the grain may stand a good
distance from thc ground while in the
shock.-W. Il. Anderson, in lndanap

During the past twenty-five years
the increase in the yield of grain crops
in Denmark per acre has been over
II per cent for barley, II per cent for
oats, % per cent for wheat. Potatoes
have increased 30 per cent in yield per
acre. Danish authorities credit the in
crease largely to government instruc-
lions and teaching in the best meth
DDS of agriculture. The Hungarian
government also is coming to the front
in its encouragement Of agriculture.
The state institutions include n great
academy for the higher branches of
agriculture, four farm colleges, TWEEN
ty.oue village farm schools, and Win
ter schools for farmers, n great agrl-
cultural museum and eighty model
farms. twenty-five state orchards
have been established and during the
I&st three years $4,000 grated
stocks and over two million seedlings
have been distributed Hungarian
agriculture has grown at a surprising
rate. the export of poultry and eggs
having increased so per cent in five
years, and dairy products having
gained ut an even larger rate.
