ly to the feeding value of the corn
plant, 1t cannot successfully replace
the shock on many farms. The corn
shock is valuable on stock farms. The
unhusked bundles make good feed for
fattening cattle. Corn shocks should
be made large. Large shocks stand
better and the fodder Is preserved In
better condition for feeding and there
is less damage by the weather.
The corn shredder Is an economic
factor in securing the full feeding
value of shock corn. The shredded
fodder can be stored in the NOW OF
In the silo. At all times during the
winter shredded corn slower makes
desirable and convenient thing to
feed. Many of the most experienced
feeders estimate that shredding adds
from 20 to 30 per cent. to the feed.
ing value OF corn fodder.
Corn should not be husked from
the standing stalk until the sap ia out
of the ears. A little caution is cheap
er than wasting large quantities OF
corn from mold. When possible It Is
best to begin slowly and cover the
bottoms OF the cribs evenly the first
few days. Tiles and slat ventilatore
facilitate the drying process In the
cribs. Narrow cribs dry faster than
wide ones. From six to ten feet Is q
good width. Husking corn from the
standing stalk is hard work, but 1t is
the finish OF the seasons harvest. The
saving Of choice ears for seed adds
to the fascination of the work. by
having box on one end of the wagon
man can save little seed each day
that will be worth more than what
he might select later from the crib.

PLAIN COPY MAKES ADS PAY
Don't Shoot over Heads Of People
You Want TO Reach-What an
Illinois Merchant Did.
BY HINTON GILMORE.

Much is said regarding the psy-
chology OF advertising, but there are
plenty OF fellows who never took a
lesson in their lives who get returns
for their advertising outlay.
In an Illinois town Of $4,000 there
is a dealer In mems furnishings who
believes in advertising through the
newspapers, but It took him long
time to make II pay. For years his
copy didn't possess the selling
punch" II was being written by q
specialist and had won commentator
from people supposed to know good
advertising copy when they saw II.
But II was costing money and wasn't
getting the business, so the dealer
let the specialist out and began writ
ing his own copy.
He made a close analysis OF previous
advertisements and noticed such gems
as "plu-perfect tailoring" and acme
Of sartorial achievement" and 1t
dawned upon him that the copy was
over the heads OF the crowd.

was left out. The result was that
the copy was plain as day,

The corn crop occupies the fore
most place in American farming. A
good crop of corn means fitting I'm
ish Of a prosperous season. We raise
corn In abundance. But we fall far
short In preserving the crop in a
manner to secure Its full feeding
value. We save more feed from 1t
than from any other crop, and we
waste more. At least 40 per cent of
the nutritiye materials are wasted In
the stalk field, or nearly as much as
are contained In the whole wheat
crop. The shock and the silo should
be used to preserve this feed. On
many farms the feeding operations
have not reached stage when all
the feeding value of the crop can be
utilized, but in this season of high
prices for hay, every effort should
be made to derive the full feeding
value from the fodder and ensilage.
In the eastern states farmers have
the settled policy of saving all the
coarse feed from the corn crop. As
the corn belt states reach an agri.
cultural maturity they will come to
1t. Many Of the best feeders are
building silos and buying huskers and
shredders for doing 80. The only
extra cost is the cutting and storing
of the extra feed.
The silo affords means OF pre-
serving certain portion OF the crop
that does not reach full maturity, and
the work Of filling can be done. even
where labor is scarce, without inter
fering with the work of securing the
grain crop. Corn is ready for the
silo before It can be shocked to ad
vantage. Between this period and
the time the corn is fit q.crih there

should be given large PORTION OF the
crop before frost comes. and the
crib should get none until few sharp
frosts have withdrawn the sap from
the ears. No other grain crop can
have Its harvest season extended ad-
vantageously over 80 many weeks
This should encourage every farmer
