OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CORNSTALK FIBRE.

When the green stalks are given
to hogs care should be used to pre-
vent cattle from having access to the
woody fibre which the swine will leave
after chewing the stalks. Pigs relish
the stalk for the sweetness in it, but
leave enough saccharine matter in
the fibre to make it attractive to cat
tie, especially the younger stock.
This fibre is indigestible, and the
cattle, if allowed to pick it up, will
frequently eat sufficient quantity
to cause impaction and harmful If
not fatal results. 1t is not safe to
let cattle into yards where swine are
given green cornstalks. Swine in
