william Manthei Tells OF Feed Ihat

William Manthei. a thrifty and pro
gressive farmer Of the Kurten COM
munity, says he has made a discovery
on the question OF feed and asks The
Eagle to publish his experience SO
that other farmers may have the
benefit Of Il.
Mr.. Manthei says he was without
feed for his cows. which caused him
considerable worry and all the time
he had plenty Of fees. but did not
know II. Other farmersr. he says.
are In the same condition. While
studying the question OF feed. he was
out In his corn and discovered many
stalks without any ear on them at
all. also many others with only a
small shoot which would not make
an ear worth gathering. The idea
occurred 10 him that these faulty
stalks II cut now would make good
feed and the whole thing. fodder
stalk and all. could be saved and
utilized. while II permitted to stay
in the field II would be wasted. He
at once began cutting these faulty
stalks and found that he had an
abundance Of the very best kind OF
feed.
Mr.. Manthei said he was milking
four common cows and getting two
gallons Of milk day. After feeding
the green corn his milk yield from
the four cows increased to six gal
Ions daily. He purchased a cream
separator and now has cream for the
Bryan creamery Ave days a week.
Mr.. Manthei says the other farm
ers Of the county have this same feed
supply and he wants them to know
Il so they can utilize II and turn i
into profit instead Of It's standing In
