A Better Way Than Pulling
Fodder.
Much has been sud and writ'
ton against fodder pulling Soni*
claim that it does not pay, am
other* that it injure* the corn
We take the position that vvhei
a crop is raised it should be bar
vested, and our plan is to gc
ahead and do it. The lima t<
think about whether a c op wil
pay, is before it is planted. Af
ter it is planted the thing to d<
is to work it and house it. S(
we advise every tanner to sav*
his fodder. We advise the pull,
ing of fodder unless a boi ter plan
cau be followed. It will injure
- 1 l!iil . if
uie corn very ntue n n is n i
pulled loo soon. It is well tc
remember that corn rati easily
be injured and this should cause
the folder pulling to be pu' < 11
until the proper I'me.
We have learned a better way
than to pull our fodder. For
several years we cut the tops and
put iu large shocks, using binder
twine to tie them near the top
of the shock. They were allowed
to stay in the shock two or
three weeks until they w re
dry and then were stacked or
hauled and placed away in a barn
or under a shelter to be led to
h<<rs is or cattle. The lodder
trom the ear down was pulled
and saved in bundles, the regular
old way.
The new-ground corn and bottom
land corn which was usually
planted lata and ripened in September
when there was not often
mnnli r;?in_ wi> cut jind simple
stalk ami all. Gradually we have
cut more and more of corn until
now we h*ve decided to cut and j
shock it all this year. Experiments
have proven that stalk and
fodder and shucks are worth nearly
as mueh a<? the corn itself and
we cannot afford to lose so much.
The corn when saved this way
should be put in large shocks,
well tied near the top.
When the corn and stalks are
both dry the shocks can t.e taken
down, the corn being pulled off
as this is done. The stalks can
be fed to sti ck as they are hauled
from the field, or they can be
re-shocked in the field, or they
can be brought out and put up in
much larger shocks in the lot or
put under shelter. There is very
little danger of any rot or falling
down if the shock is properly
made This plan gets the stalks;
out of the fields where they are |
so often in the way and puts
thein in the stables and lot, just
where they a~e ne de l to make
manure, after they are eaten,
and most of then will be eaten.
If you have never cut and
shocked com we suggest you try
it on part of your crop This is
a good way to start. We do the
cutting with case knives, but regular
corn knives can be bought
for this work. The poorer the
corn the better it pays to cut it.
If there is no grain the stalks
certainly should be saved for
rough teed. Get something from
the field.?J. M. Beatty, in

The Nature of Vetch and
When and How to Plant
it.
Having seen so much inquiry
1 about the cultivation, etc., of
. vetches and having long experii
once ot it3 superior value, t hought
I wnnl.t wril? vnii ji lillln nil flip
) subject, particularly a? this is a
? very rainy day. Vetches, or tares
! as tbey are tnoie oiten called in
England, have been grown there
> for the past century. They are
? of two distinct varieties, winter
? and spring. This should be thor
oughly understood by those
seedsmen who handle them, as
i they will be a total failure ii
pliintt-d at the wrong season,
i Winter vetch sown in spring
will make such a p or crop as to
di sgust the grower and his fever)
j for growing it will end there;
spring vetches grown in winter, j
will generally grow a tew inches
and disappear the first good frost.
Vetches should be planted any
lime in the South Irom middle
of September to first of Decern- !
ber?October being the ideal 1
m/"\nl f nr Kacl \ r\ flia 1
drier and warmer parts ol the I
South. Vetches require a well- (
drained soil; will thrive anywhere (
that corn or cowpeas grow, but I
will make a much gretter amount '
ol green teed per acre than cow f
peas and easier to handle. They
cover the land fully as dense as f
velvet beans; are much more >
nutritious than cow peas and I
improve the soil more. Hanted t
in September or October ?>f a 1
mild winter, can he used for s
soiling in February. Oa'tle and l
horses will eat them all clean as i
they do not grow hard and woody ?
at thebu't ends; thev grow a t
dense mass from two to four ?
feet high; have little joints about t
every six inches with small little r
leaves all around ; lots of these i
are shed olF, particularly on the a
under part much like the velvet 1
bean, but the main stem never c
naraens nor twists up liko tha' a
vine: it lias several blossoms on '
the top joints and makes pods *
of one to two inches with three f
to s;x inches in each, nearly
black, about the size of No. 3 or *
I shot; when these blossoms begin
to drop and pods form, then e
vetch is in its best. I
1 have known horses to do (
heavy work fed entirely on them (
and a small feed of grain once a 1
day and for milking cows no
I other soiling crop will equal
them; for working horses they
should be cut when dew is off;
let remain until evening and put
in barn to teed next day; chopped t
up and fed to hogs with a little t
shorts and milk, will make them '
grow like mushrooms. 1
I don't approve of Mr. Walker's
pjun of growing any of the
seeds you mention in his lotfer. '
Both cow peas and vetches re- 1
quire a cover of four to six in
ches of roil for bast results. I
mean properly prepared soil,
not to turn over clods or stiff '
soil. Break your land as dsep as
you can (disc plow preferred,)]
