Saving Corn Fodder.

The fact that no one can make ron
clad rules to be followed in every
section is we'll shown by the methods
Of saving corn and fodder. Along the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad in the
swamp country of Virginia and North
Carolina it is a MI practice to
snap off the ears Of corn and turn
cattle into the fields as they do on
he Western prairies, saving the
shucks to bale and sell to the mat
coast section they strip the blades to
the top of the stalk and leave the
naked talks in the field. Others cut
the tops and strip the blades below
the ears.
Now there is always q good reason
for the growth Of farm practice in
every section, and it will not do to
say hat any practice is altogether
bad because it is different from what
we practice. In all the upper sec
ton of the South thee IS no doubt
that the pest way 10 save the corn
for grain is to cut it with a corn
harvester, cpIe in shocks and shred
the slower for winter Use.
There is nc CUB bEt that there is
a loss in corn where the green blades
that are feeding the ears are stripped
off. But in the humid climate Of the
COUNTRY near the coast, | be-
lieye hat we will have to stand this
loss Of grain.
Rut in any of the drier sections he
only real and economical way to save
the crop is to cut and cure IN SHOCKS.
