THE AMOUNT OF FODDER WASTED Annually by Eiposure and Trampling Sufficient to Feed All the Stock In the United States. It ha been well demonstrated that the fodder produced by a crop of corn Ii fully equal in value to the grain. If the grain was wasted as in the case in the management of the fodder by many, it would create surprise. It has been claimed by an eminent authority that the amount of fodder wasted annually by exposure and trampling is sutlicient to teed all the stock in the United States during the winter. The claim is a broad one, but tbat an enormous loss occurs is a fact fully recognized. The practice of "shocking" the corn fodder in the fields is an old one. At first the cured fodder is bright in color, bat as the rains and snow come upon it the color changes, becoming darker, the leaves dry until very brittle, and the winds literally clean the stems ol all that is of value. The shocks are blown over, and rot on the ground, while t!ie cattle tramp that wh ch remains by pulling it first fo the ground and picking it over. Just whv care should be f zer oised in cutting the fodder and securely binding it, only to allow it to waste later on, is a mystery, yet the same happeni over and over. Fodiier is a bulky crop, and for that reason it is left in the field. It is not given that consideration which it de serves, so far as its nutritive value Ii concerned. When cut at the proper titss and left in the fields nntil an opportu nity ia afforded (or storing it under a covered shed, in a condition which will make it very acceptable to all classes of stock, and if cut with a cutter and fed niolBtened or steamed with a small pro portion of ground grain, it will keep I good condition without the aid of bay. It nfay be stored under cover by stand ing the fodder on end nnder a large roof, or may be layered, and if well cured and not having been exposed, it will not beat. It should be used as much ai possible before tbe wet season sets in to lessen the bulk. It there is a power cutter, it may be cut in large quantities at a time ana stored in bins. No matter bow preserved, it is a fact that, until some other method than that of allow ing it to remain exposed all winter in the fields is adopted, a large portion of the crop will be lost. Car of Poultry. H. Edes In American Cuitirat r. Many of the suggestions as to the care of poultry are unnecessarily cruel. In my own experience with poultry I have secured satisfactory result with less se verity in handling the fowls. It is quite a common practice to lay a barrel on its side, placing the hens and chick in it, closing the end, leaving only space tor tbe chicks to run in and out, thus keep ing the hen a prisoner until such time as the chicks are ready for the fattening coop. The lattef ie something I do not possess in fact, have no use for. My hens and chicks are given a roomy coop, with slat yard 4x3 feet, wnirb gives the hen a chance to scratch and exercise and look after her family. This partial freedom secures the hen in good condition and prepared to resume laying eggs weeks earlier than when kept close ly confined. Whilo some advocate underfeeding. I give my fowls all they will' eat twice a day, and my egg record is the best in the neighborhood. 1 am convinced that liberal feeding will increase the receipt! and keep the fowls in good condition. One of my friends tried underfeeding, with the result that the flock was slowly starving. A change of plan and more liberal feeding improved the nock, and gave remunerative results for tbe in creased cost. Another neighbor waa advised to feed but once a day. He got no eggs, and de served none. At this time I was getting four and one-half and five dozen eggs from a flock of ninety fowls, many of them three years old. My chicks at twelve weeks old weigh six pounds to tbe pair, and have perfect freedom. When one can produce chicks of that weight by allowing them to en joy the few weeks of life allotted 10 them, what need of confining them in fat'ening coops and excluding all light by a gieen shade to be partially raised at feeding time. This latter was the ad vice of a recent writer in an agricultural paper. In my own experience, if lowu are made comfortable and contented, they will make constant gains, and I be- leve the quality of tbe chickens win i better than under close confinement. FARM NOTES. Wi h a good road the wagons will last much longer and the labor oi tbe teams be lessened. No matter what oat are worth in the market, if you grow them yourself yon can afford to feed them. Sprouts growing no from the roots of trees take nourishment tbat should go to the tree. The sprouts are really weeds, and should not le allowed to grow even an inch. Unless kept down they not only in rare the trees, but rea der them unsightly. Calves that are weaned from their dams when but a few days old are not easily raised during the warm season, (live them fresh milk four times a day, and as they can be taoght to take it give them oatmeal gruel, with a small quan tity of linseed meal added. As the graea begins to fail later on, tw rations oi the cows should be increased at the barn. If there is then a supp 7 of roots, and especially of carrots n", turnips, the cows may be gradu.U' changed from green food to grain iw hay with fe risk ot their tailing w yield of milk. Crab grass has very large and spread ing root. When it gets a start it tax poesession ot every square inch of to soil, and is difficult to remove, yet it one of the easiest plants to kill when ia young, keep the cniumor where crab grass is liable to appear, v it will not thrive when vonng in a loo. dry soil.
