RoUGHAGE IS THE THING.
Good supply ~ siiage Means Half o.
Feeding Problems Solved.

Next to full silo, the livestock
mans best insurance against feed
shortage this winter will be plenty OF
fodder In the shock. advises the ex-
tension animal husbandry man at Iowa
state college. With plenty OF silage
and corn fodder there need be no lack
OF roughage. And plenty Of rouShass
means many feed problems solved.
The man who cuts plenty OF corn
fodder need not worry about future
hay prices which do not promise to be
low. Good stover or fodder with the
corn out, Is practically equal to tim
othy hay for many classes Of stock
On many farms where enough hay was
grown for the stock on hand. 1t will
be profitable to feed corn fodder and
market the hay.
Even on farms where there Is silo
II will pay to keep the corn binder
running after the silo Is full. The fod-
der may BE fed in the fall and early
winter before the silo Is opened or the
silage may be fed out early and the
silo refilled with shock fodder and
water. about equal parts by weight II
corn prices Justify II, the corn may be
hueked out of the fodder for the sec
ond filling II the fodder is to be fed
direct from the shock. 1t should be
used first, as The longer 1t stands the
greater the loss from weatherinS.
The corn should mature fairly well
before cutting unless caught by frost.
Once frosted. the quicker the corn IL
out the better. either for silage or for
fodder. Immature corn caught by frost
is worth more for silage or fodder than
for any other purpose.
