Bat such is not the case, and the practical way of handling a dozen or more acre# of heavy coru fodder is, to make it into large stooks ia the field, and let them remain there until needed for feeding in tha winter. Three rows of the smaller stooks are Blade lata one raw of large steaks, or if the crop is not very heavy, five rows may be taken, two on each side of the center row, where the large stooks are to be reads. The larger the stocks, provided they can be compactly m*kei and gradually tapering to a point, the better. The top should be securely tied with two bands. We sometim ' use tarred rope, but nothing is better than willow twigs for tics. bee that every part of the work is well done. The first bundles of the large stock should stand upright, and two men, standing on opposite sides of the atook, shoo'd pro. s *be bundles together as tight as possible, and con tinue to do so as more are added. Especially press or kick the butts of the bundles compactly together. A sprawling stook will be more or dam aged by snow and ice, aud the butts will be troaen together, and it is then not an easy matter to pitch the bun dles in the winter.
