HOGGING CORN CROP
INSTEAD OF HUSKING
Some Farmers Find This Prao'
tice of Much Advantage at
Times

In these days of expensive labor,
farmers sometimes find it to their ad.
vantage to hog off some of their corn
instead of husking it. The amount that
should be hogged off should be decided
upon beforehand. and should OF course
be prorortionate to the number OF
hogs which are expected to consume
it. There should be access to water,
and the results will be all the better II
the hogs, at the same time. can have
access to clover, blue grass or alfal.
ia field.
Corn should not be hogged OF un-
til 1t Is pretty well matured; that is,
until the grains are we'll dented. Hog.
ging 1t off before that time means
waste of feeding value, for corn grows
until the leaves are killed by frost or
die naturally. There are many cases
in which 1t is quite as well and much
cheaper to hog the corn OF than to
husk it and feed 1t to the hogs, and
the practice is growing more popular
every year.
The Elbert County tribune., 1912-09-20
NEED OF MOISTENING
CORN WHILE IN SIL0
Excellent Time is When Crop is
Too Ripe or Severely
Frozen

Ordinarily corn cut at the proper
time does not need any water added
to make good silage. There are
times. however, when it is necessary
to add water to the corn in filling the
silo. The corn in the silo at the
time of filling should feel moist, II
not moist. water should be added.
Under any of the following condi-
tions water should be added to the
corn when filling the clio: First.
VIXEN the corn is too ripe, and the
leaves and part of the stalks are dried
out to such an extent that they will
not pack well. Second, when the
corn is severely frozen before it has
reached the proper degree of matur-
fty, liberating the moisture and leav-
ing the leaves and stems dry. Third.
when refillng the silo late in the fall
with shocked corn 1t is always nee
essary to add water.
There are two ways to add water.
First, put hose in the silo and thor
oughly saturate the dry portions. es-
pecially around the walls. Second,
