 tion proved it to be higher in digestible nutrients than corn fodder. A 

 like product, except that it is the by-product of the paper factory, is 

 also put upon the market, the coarser parts being baled. 



Stock foods of diflferent nutritive values result from the use of the 

 by-products of the stalk and leaves. After grinding this refuse mat- 

 ter very finely, it is mixed with dried blood, molasses, distillery and 

 glucose by-products, sugar beet pulp, and apple pomace. 



FROM THE HUSKS. Corn husks furnish packing for horse col- 

 lars and are used in the manufacture of cheap hats in the South. Coarse 

 door mats of lasting quality are made in the North. Husk ticks for 

 beds are used in bunk houses by construction companies, when con- 

 tracts happen to be in the corn growing districts.
