Corn Fodder. 
In the course of the last six or eight years, much has 
been said and written upon sowing corn for fodder. Few 
farmers have practiced this method of securing feed, but 
in a dry season like the present, many would do well to 
avail themselves of it. Every farmer who keeps any 
great number of cattle, should sow a little for feeding 
out in dog-days,” as green food for milch cows, or to 
other stock when necessary. 
The plan usually adopted is to sow broadcast, and 
when of sufficient growth to mow, and cure for winter 
feed, as we do hay , or to feed green in the yard or field. 
When sown broadcast I think it should be fed gi;een ; for 
when made into dry fodder, the chances are that the 
crop will be weather beaten and spoiled before it can be 
sufficiently cured for storing in the barn. A sudden 
shower, or long rain, will almost invariably ruin the fed- 
der. Corn stalks require a great deal of curing before 
they become dry enough to keep as well as hay. Should 
they he carried into the barn with a little moisture on 
them, and stowed away compactly, they will he almost 
sure to heat and spoil. And if kept in the sun long 
enough to. cure perfectly, the leaves become dry and 
crumble, before the stalk is sufficiently cured. When the 
crop is intended for winter fodder, a better plan is to pre¬ 
pare the ground properly, and sow the corn in drills with 
a seed sower, some twenty inches or two feet apart. The 
weeds may be kept down by passing a horse cultivator 
two or three times between the rows. In harvesting 
this crop, the same course may be pursued as in secur¬ 
ing the corn crop in the fall—cut up at the bottom with 
a corn knife, and stack it, by gathering the stalks around 
a bunch of standing corn till the stook is of good size, 
then turn down the tops and confine with a band of 
straw, and the work is done. The stooks may stand till 
the fodder is well cured, which will take from six weeks 
to two months, as the case maybe, and if the stooks are
