CORN FODDER.

Method of Green Curina.

Method of Green Curing.
Those who have corn fodder or sto'
yer and have not silo will do well to
try my way Of curing it. suggests a
writer in New England Homestead.
Cut it before it is injured by the frost.
and If very green allow 1t to lie on the
ground from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours. II the heaps are very large
turn them and let them remain another
day and night.
Large Bundles.
Then put 1t into us large bundles as
can be handled and arrange from
twelve to sixteen bundles in stack.
first setting stake or bean pole to
stand them around and tying the first
four bundles to the stake. When oil
are in place bind them around the CEN
ter of the stock and again around the
tassels. This will make it necessary
to use stout twine or tarred rope for
binding, but it is not very expensive.
Curing In Stocks.
The stocks will stand upright and
not fall in the wind. and If the fodder
heats at all the heat will pass upward,
SO that it will not mold, and the fod-
der will cure perfectly with all but the
outside stalks as green as when cut.
Fodder so cured is worth nearly as
much as good English hay. and if it is
cut in pieces an inch long the cows
will eat it nearly all. and If they re-
ceive one and half to two bushels
every night they will do as we'll and
give as much milk as If they had the
best hay in the barn.

SiIos and SiIaae.

Eilage has been the great stimulus
to winter dafrying. and without 1t q

be cut off. Those whose memories &C

dairy was composed mainly Of ''strip-
pers" fed on moldy hay and dry corL
fodder. with sometimes little bran

tion the COWS scarcely paid for their
keep, do not need to have their atten-
ton drawn to the great improvement

gone nor to be told how large part
1t plays in the farm economy. remarks
Farm Journal.
The material Of which silos may be
constructed and whether they should
be separate structures or attached to
the barn are questions about which
there may be differences of opinion.
but most people are agreed that a
cheap silo is dear experiment in the
long run. There are number Of rep
utable firms manufacturing silos that
have stood the test of time. and one
cannot go wrong In making selection
from these standard and well tried
models. The prime consideration in
the construction Of sllo is to secure a
receptacle that is strong enough to re-
sist the great pressure put upon 1t and
to preserve it's contents air tight. The
location should be selected with refer
ence to it's convenience for filling and
emptying. as.l '-s+.&s
According to recognized authority,
each cow should have an allowance of
about four tons of silage In the seven
months it is usually fed. 1t is, there
fore, easy to determine by the number
Of cattle to be subsisted how much
silage it is necessary to preserve. A
silo reasonably deep Is the best pre-
servative Of its contents and the most
economical, but it is held by good au-
thority that it is desirable to keep the
structure within reasonable bounds,
and when the demand goes beyond
that it is better to have two or more
silos.

SMALL SIZE HOG COT.

The small cot will accommodate, from
three to five mature animals and the.
large cot from seven to nine.
Although the Wisconsin experiment
station has large hog house, with
iced room. scales. etc.. cots such as
these have been found convenient
means of enlarging the facilities of the
oiggery. OF their general advantages
Mr.. j. G. Fuller says:
with the cot system the farmer or
breeder can enlarge his accommoda-
lions as the size of his herd increases.
The mud and vermin which are sure
10 accumulate around large hog
house can easily be avoided with the
small houses and by occasionally NOV
ing them to a fresh spot of ground.
Where it is necessary to keep only q
few hogs together Or where several
animals must he provided with sep
arate quarters the cotAbecomes4 an in
dspensable factor and can be used to
advantage on any farm"
