Flowing out potatoes with an auto
as motive power was accomplished
last Saturday by a Carroll county
young couple who have a garden on
the outskirts OF town. At first hand
power was used to dig the tubcrs
but this was too tiresomc and slow,
so womans inventive mind suggested
|hitching their runabout to a plow and
dig them in that way. The plan was
put into effect and while the good
wife guided the tractor" on low gear
along the burrows, her husband stead
led the pillow. In a little while the
job was finished potatoes picked up
and carried home in the auto. This
is case where an auto was used as
a pleasure vehicle, tractor and truck.

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 rouglage. And plenty Of
roughage means many feed problems
solved. The man who cuts plenty Of
corn fodder need not worry about f,.
tnre hay prices which do not promise
to be low. Good StOver or fodder with
the corn out, is practically equal to
timothy hay for many classes of stock.
On many farms where enough hay
was grown for the stock on hand. it
will be profitable to feed corn fodder
and market the hay. Even on farms
where there is a silO it will pay to
keep the corn binder running after
the silo is full The fodder may be
fed in the fall and early winter be-
fore the silO is opened or the silaSe
may be fed out early and the silO
refilled with shock fodder and water,
about equal parts by weight. If corn
prices justify it. the corn may be
husked out of the fodder for the second
filling. If the fodder is to be fed
direct from the shock, it should be
used first, as the longer it stands, the
greater the loss from WeatherinS. The
corn should mature fairly we'll before
cutting unless caught by frost. Once
frosted, the quicker the corn is out
the better. either for silage or for
fodder" Immature corn caught by
frost is worth more for silage or fod-
der than for any other purpose.
