Corn Should Not Be Too Green-cut.
ting and Putting It Up.

ting and Putting It Up.
Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage. At
this stage there is a large: percentage
Of water, and the silage when taken
out has Il large amount of acid. less
starch and sugar and hence is less nu-
tritious. Corn planted In drills with
stalks eight to ten inches apart will
mature a good proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to mold.
This may be found in spots around the
sides or more generally over the silo
wherever the air has gained access to
cause the fungous growth. This condi-
ton may be improved by tramping the
material carefully in the silo, adding
water by sprinkling with a hose, OF if
this is not available direct a stream of
water into the blower or elevator suf-
ficient to saturate the cut fodder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
and acts as a seal to keeHe out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
a large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled owe again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense a ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table of the ma
chine in turn, handing the corn direct
~ to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed OH
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and in pro-
portion to the size Of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, c~conomizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping of an
entire crow to repair the elevator. Ii
the corn is heavy and the stalk large
cutting in half inch to one inch pieces
