HANDLE SWEET CORN FODDER
Care Must Be Exercised That Rough
age Does Not Heat and Sour
OF High Feeding Value.

Farmers who raise sugar corn either
for the market or for canning factories
will do well to take special care OF
their fodder. 1t makes a remarkably
good roughage feed for winter and is
more easily kept free from rot and
mold than other fodder. Stock will
clean up this ration, butts and all. The
sugar which it contains makes it both
heating and fattening. Then, too, when
the crop is harvested for factory use
there is left on the stalks large num-
Der of immature ears which as rule
ripen, thus adding to the feeding value
of the fodder. Mature sweet corn is
not much, If any, inferior to field corn
for feeding.
Sweet corn fodder is not so rank and
heavy as that of Indian corn and there
fore not quite so much difficulty Is
experienced in keeping it in good con-
dition. STILL 1t must be handled care
fully to give the best results. Like
other fodder it will heat and sour
when stored tightly under cover but
it lends itself advantageously to being
put up in the round stack similar to
the method pursued in preserving fod-
der in the South. In such cases it is
stacked about center pole. Special
care is taken to make the center of
the stack solid and compact. If it
settles it will, of course, more easily
take water. Recapping the top Of the
stack few weeks after it is built will
help to overcome this. If care is used
in building the round stack it will
turn out fodder in winter which will
be clean and sweet and of high feed
ing value. The round stack for this
crop is likely to do better than the rec
tangular rick, as it will bear up better
under the elements.

Der would pay profitable returns if fed
q few months longer.
In steer-feediEg experiments to de-
ternine the effect of heavy and light
feeding it was found that the daily
rate of gain was considerably high
er and the greater profit was real
lied from the 1ight-fed lots. Grain was
prohtably replaced by molasses when
used in only limited amount. Mo-
lasses appeared to have more bene-
fetal effect when fed to good stocker
than to good butcher cattle getting the
same amount of grain. Molasses
showed profit over a full-grain ra-
ton.
Eight steers fed 140 days and given
freedom in box stalls made gain of
$56.17 as compared with 1928 from
eight steers tied. In comparison of
corn silage and dry corn for fodder as
troughage for fattening steers fed five
months, the former made an average
daily gain per steer of 1876 pounds, the
latter of Is pounds. Four lots of

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks which grow from an ear bear
ing stalk of corn are hindrance to
the best growth of the latter, and valu-
able hours are sometimes spent in re-
moving them. But, according to Wal
laces Farmer, actual experiments dur
Ing two successive years on Nebraska
farms demonstrated that corn with
the suckers left undisturbed outyield-

been removed. Their leaves, like the
others, would seem to perform a use

"THE FARMERS INCOME"

A little pamphlet has recently
been issued by the government,
entitled, "The Farmers Income"
In this bulletin it is shown that
the average farmer has an an
nual income of 5000. The street
railway man has an income Of
1914. The ordi2aKy factory
worker has an income of $500.
1t is also stated in the 5000 in
come from each farm only $500
of it is in cash. The $400 is rep
resented in milk, cream, vegeta-
bles, ETC., obtained from the
farm. There is an opportunity
for the farmers to have a much
larger income than 5000 cash.

l
Food hurried along In the body is
either wasted, fulfilling no part of its
natural functions in nutrition or 1t Is
retained in the intestine in this un-
digested state, causing fermentation
and kindred ills that lead to serious
trouble.
1t is easy to see that the active out
door worker may, with less danger,
bolt his food, for he sits down for his
quiet noon hour and his digestion is in
perfect working order owing to active
exercise. The indoor worker rushes to
the lunch counter, often standing while
he bolts piece of pie and washes it
of coffee. Then goes back to an office
where he sits in a STOPPING position,
which retards digestion. ,6arsTf15-nss'---,-t
1t would be far wiser for the indoor
worker to fast at noon or take but q
glassful of buttermilk or milk than to
lily blended foods.
The normal secretions of the mouth
are alkaline andas starch is digested in
such medium it is necessary that ali
starchy foods be properly insalivated.
If piece of bread and butter is well
divided in the mouth and spoonful
of acid fruit is added to it the acid
retards the action of the alkaline.
These foods should-be eaten alone:
fruit, then starches. Fatty foods are
valuable but mix them with starch in
the form of pie and trouble begins if
you have any digestive weakness. The
fat surrounds the starch grains, pre-
venting the action of the mouth and in
testinal juices and more trouble en-
sues.
The foods best suited to the indoor
worker are the easily digested foods,
and even milk should be sipped not
swallowed as one does water Milk
and eggs, and dishes made from them
are best suited to the indoor worker.
No stream from it's source
Flows seaward, how lonely soever its
course,
But what some land is gladdened.
No star ever rose
And set without influence somewhere.
Who knows
What earth needs from lowest crea-
ture.
No life can be pure in its purpose and
strong in it's strife
And all life not be purer and stronger
thereby.
