Curing Corn Fodder.

Inc time for cutting and curing
corn fodder will soon be at hand both
for fodder and for the silo should be
cut when the kernels are nicely dent.
ed. While we do not care to cut il
before the denting stage, we are al
ways careful not to let it get too old
The sweet juices of the stalk and leaf
should be retained as far as possible,
but shortly after the kernel dents the
fibre of the stalk gets woody-that il
to say, most of the juice leaves the
leaf and stalk-and when it reaches
this stage it is much harder to digest:
in fact, we believe that much of the
nutriment has left the stalk.
do not think that corn fodder that
is to be fed in dry condition should
stand and ripen longer than fodder
that is to be used as silage. This year
we planted nearly bushel of seed to
the acre, and the corn in the row
stands very thick; it will not grow as
tall as it would, had we planted half a
bushel Or peck to the acre. We are
going to have but few ears, but we be-
ieve that we will get corn that viii
be mostly leaves, easy to handle,
easily bound by the corn binder, max
ing a nice, short, compact bundle
which can be handled to and from the
wagon much more easily than it could
have been had it been thinly planted,
and by having so many leaves, we
think it can be more easily digested,
and from our experience in feeding
both kinds, the thinly planted, with
ears, heavy, long stalks and few
leaves, and the thickly planted, short
stalk, few ears and mostly leaves, we
conclude that the thickly planted, tax
ing it's advantages enumerated above,
is the most economical corn for either
the silo.or to be fed as dry fodder.
Shocks made from bundles of corn
cut as green as stated in this article
should be small and shocked as per-
pendicularly as possible, tying the
heads together nicely thus making
shock that will dry out easily and will
she'd the rain.
Some seasons it is not possible to
cure fodder corn out sufficiently so it
will keep from heating in the stack;
great care should be used to guard
against this trouble, but ordinarily,
however, if the fodder is stacked late
in the fall before snow comes and the
stacks are made not more than eight
feet wide, it will usually keep without
heating.
If you think that it is not dry
enough to keep in the stack a very
good way to handle the shocks is to
haul them to the barn in the very late
fall or the fore..part of the winter and
shock them up in long shocks, say
four Or six feet wide at the top, and
make long shock setting them on |
the butts. This method will usually |
have the bundles so the air can pass
through the long shock, and if the
corn is fed up before the warm rains
Of spring come on, there is little
danger Of experiencing trouble from
heating.
But any man who can afford it,
md many more people could afford
t if they would, should have silo
% put the corn in when ready, pack
t nicely and have some Of the best
'ough feed to be obtained.
Most farmers in this locality cut
b cir fodder corn two or three weeks
90 late. I will admit that it will
,eep more easily in that way, but the
Iuality for feed is not SO good.-The
Dairy Record.

Mrs. A. j. Rock, of Oldhams. who,
IN company with her youngest son, H.
I. Smith, of Washington, went down
to spend the week of encampment at
Kirkland Grove, was taken i'll with
fever. She was removed to the home
of her oldest daughter, Mrs. T. w.
Clarke at Coan, Northumberland county,
Dr., Rice, of Heathsville, attending her,
and everything that medical skill could
do was done, but to no avail, for God
saw fit to take her to brighter home.
She said few days before her death,
ooh, it would be better for me if
were IN Heaven, out of my suffering"
She. seemed to want to go, and said she
was resigned to Gods will and not
afraid to die. So on Monday morning,
September q, about 10 o'clock. the
spirit of our dear mother took its flight
from its earthly tabernacle, to dwell
with its God who gave it. Her children
were all with her during her sickness,

I'll live those weeks over and over again.
She did not wish me to leave her room,
and the most of my time was spent in it.
Her youngest son, H. T. Smith, OF
Washington, arrived on Sunday morning
before she died. She recognized him,
and embraced him, saying, my darling
boy has come" oh, God give me
strength to write these sad words, that

panied by large crowd of her loved
ones. and Rev. A. D. Reynolds she was
