UTILIZATION OF THE BY-PRODUCT 



"A corn cannery at Newark, Del., has 

 directed the attention of dairymen to the 

 feeding value of sugar corn fodder. As it 

 apparently opens up a field of temporary 

 advantages at least, the following details 

 have been noted: 



^'A heavy corn crop in 1891 left a 2S-acre 

 field well set in crimson clover. The field 

 was top dressed early in the spring with acid 

 phosphate, and just at the time that this 

 clover was coming into blossom 25 cows, 

 six or eight brood mares and colts and 

 SO ewes with their lambs were turned into 

 it. They pastured there for nearly five 

 weeks. Then the field was plowed and 

 again fertilized with 200 pounds an acre 

 of a complete fertilizer. Stowell's Ever- 

 green variety of sweet corn was planted 

 on the following dates: Nine acres on 

 June IS, eight acres on June 20, and eight 

 acres on June 23. 



"The cannery records of the yields of 

 ears from this field are as follows:
