Grinding Oats With Corn. Corn meal
alon is not merely too hearty, but it is
i decidedly too heaw for healthful food.
For use on the table it is lightened in
various ways, and generally eaten w ith
something else likely to compact in tlie
stomach. It is neccasarv to do the same
with it (or stock, especially if the corn is
ground. There is nothing better to grind
w ith corn than oats. Their hull makes
the mixture much lighter, and the grain
itself supplements some of the deficien
cies of the corn. Oats are also excellent
to put it w ith corn in the ear, when the
latter is to be ground. Unleas this is
done it is oflen hard for the miller to
make the cob grind fine enough. If any
way damp the cob breaks up into pieces,
and only the grain is ground and that
poorly. Somehow the mixture of one
lialf of the bulk of corn in the cob of oats
or barley will give the miller an advant
age in working the w hole up as finely as
may I desired.

After observations among hundreds of
silos, and hearing the testimony of the
owners, John Gould concludes that there
is no necessity of ever husking corn to
, le KHl upon the farm, w hen the silo, with
its latter idea of rilling preaerves the
grain so perfectly and gives such satis
factory results.
