A : — Yes sir, you can stack it out and cover it with hay, but 

 it would be better to put it in a shed 32x2-1 and let the planks 

 come down within 6 feet of the ground and let the cattle eat it. 



O : — How about .expense ? 



A : — I don't know, it takes about three teams to bring it in 

 and about that to bring the other in to to the silo. 



O : — Did you pack your fodder ? Never saw any that would 

 keep good ? 



A : — Yes sir, just as tight as you can. Never saw any that 

 will keep like that? If you will go to a farm tomorrow I will 

 show it to you, some put in wet and some dry and as nice foddef 

 as you ever saw in your life. We put two men in there and 

 tramped as hard as we could. 



O : — What is your opinion of shredded fodder compared 

 with Timothy hay for feeding horses or cattle? 



A: — Horses and cattle are two different things, don't feed 

 no milch cows Timothy hay. I feed her fodder and for years I 

 liave been shredding my fodder and putting in the loft and selling 

 timothy hay $10 a ton. 



: — Why not sell fodder and keep timothy ? 



A : — I consider it cheaper and got $10 for hay, and I could 

 not get $10 for the fodder. 



O: — I think you are considerable of a scientific farmer? 



A : — I thank you. 



O : — Mr. Newman : — It always pleases me to introduce a 

 gentleman and have his address come out as I said it would. I 

 don't believe that the dairyman or the agriculturists in this state 

 have a better friend than C. J. Lindley.
