FEEDING CORN FODDER Experiments Show that Corn Stover x le Valuable In Beef ProductionCorn Stover Is One of the Many By.Products of the Farm. (By J. E. Waggoner of the I H C Service Bureau) Profit Is a stimulus which causes men to engage In seme one or more of the many phases of business. It may be commerce, the industries, banking, farming or some other activity, yet when all is said, the profit irom that particular line of work is usually the attractive feature. Competition has become so strong that profit in many undertakings is made only by practising the strictest principles of economy and exercising unusual care in looking after ths small things and what might be termed "by-products." For instance, one of the sources of the banker's income is the small increase in the rate of interest on money loaned over what it cost him. The same is true of the farmer. The increase in the value of land has necessitated putting farming on more of a business basis in order to realise a profit on the investment. Much has been said and written regarding saving and utilizing the waste products of the farm, and it is encouraging to note that more farmers are making better use of all the product* of (heir farms than ever before. Ope of the moat sorious waatea nas been the neglect to save and utilize the entire corn crop. The principal market demand has been for the grain. This, combined with an abundance of hay, has not been conducive to the use of corn fodder as a rough forage. Conditions have changed the past few years; among other things, hay has advanced in price to such an extent that It hi only good business practice for a farmer to supply his rough forage in the form of corn fodder and put his hay ou the market. Every grower or an acre of corn should know the feeding value of the entire crop. It is quite generally known what returns can be expected from the grain, but few farmers know the feeding value of the corn stover (stalks without the ears). Reports from the Nebraska Experiment Station on experiments made comparing combinations qf shelled corn, snapped corn, alfalfa and corn stover show that when stover is used as half of the roughage It reduces the cost of gains on two-year-old steers from 40 to 48 cents pop hundred. The stover \va? found to be actually worth $3.55 per ton as compared with alfalfu fed alone at $6.00 per ton. The farm value of alfalfa and other hay crops reached a mark of more than twice thiB amount the past year, thus increasing the value of corn atover from $8.00 to I $12.00 pur ton. With these figures before us, it is plain to see that the corn belt farmer is nugleoting one of his important sources of income by letting his cornstalks stand In the field. Considering the small yield of only one ton of stover to the acre, the returns of the American farmer would have been Increased millions of dollars last year if this what might be called by-product had been saved. Coming back to the Individual farmer, he would have realized his proportion of this profit. During this summer is the time to plan on cutting the corn for fodder this fall and utilizing to the best advantage the entire corn crop. We find that the Nebraska bulletin No. 100 says: "By feeding corn fodder, we utilizo the stalk and yet are put to no - * ? - ia ? a 4 extra labor nusKing n. in taut, cum can be cut with a harvester and put in the shock cheaper ttian it can be picked and cribbed, inasmuch as three men with a team and harvester can cut and shock seven acres per day. Records from the farm department of this experiment station show that it costs $1.18 per acre to cut and shock corn, which figure does not allow for the wear and tear on the machine. Three cents per bushel should cover the cost of harvesting corn with a machine and putting it in the shocks." The logical way of saving the corn crop i9 to shred the fodder. Extensive experiments at the Wisconsin Experiment station show that about ?* per cent of the feeding value of fodder is lost if left exposed to the elements By shredding and storing, this less will be prevented. The fodder is also in a much more convenient form for hand ling, and is relished more by the stock Shredded fodder does uot occupy as much room for storing as the un shredded, and tho stable manure if much easier handled. In summing up the results of vari oils feeding experiments with corn It all forms it is found that the bos' way to utilize the corn crap is to save the stalks either in the form of ensil age or shroddod fodder. Tho records of the Nebraska Experiment Statior dispel any doubt as to the economy o harvesting corn by tho use of the cori hinder as compared with husking tin standing corn in the field. Under tin hitlor condition the stalks would b< lost. The value of the stalks as i I rough feed, considering hay at th< ' present price, is at least $8.00 per ton An ordinary yield of corn will produci two or threo tons of stover to tin acre. Compare this value with th price of fifty cents per acre, which i usually paid for stalks standing in tin field. When corn is fed as shreddei fodder, the loss of stock duo to corr stalk disease is entirely prevented Every farmer that has stock to fee< should plan to supply the most of hi roughage in the form of shredded cori , fodder, thus utilising in the best poi slblo way his entire corn crop. Forty per cent of the feeding valu of tho corn crop is found in the stalk LIME FOR SOILS Crop Growth Indicative of Condition of the Soil?Lime Is Important for Growing Leguminous Crops?Manure Spreader May Be Used for Applying Lims Mr. O. C. Ro*tel, Marble, Washingi toil, writes as fallows: "Please let , me know If our mountains of lime ' rock here In Stevens county could be utilized for commercial fertilizer by grinding it tine without first burning." Unburned but finely ground limeJ stone is best for correcting soil acidity. I The use of lime 011 soils is beneficial in places where calcium is deficient. Some crops require more calcium than , otners. 'I'llis is especially uue ui j clovers, alfalfa, and other leguminous [ crops. Whether the soil requires calcium ' depends upon it* condition, and this < can be determined by one of two methods ? either by a close examina' tion of the plant growth or by the use 1 of litmus paper. If you find horse sorrel present in large quantities it I Indicates that your soil requires j calcium; also, if clovers do not grow | well that is an indication that cal' cium is lacking. | By the use of litmus papers, which . may be purchased at almost any drug store, you will be able to determine whether your soil is acid. Take a small quantity of moist soil and press ; it around the paper for ten or fifteen minutes. If the blue paper is turned to a pinkish or reddish color, it will Indicate that your soil is acid and an application of lime will be beneficial. I There are several (at least ten) forms of commercial lime on the market. The best form to use is finely ground limestone. First: because it is cheapest, and, second: the effect on the humus is not so serious as with other forms of lime?especially caustic or quick lime. The action of finely ground limestone in its attack on the vegetable matter is less noticeable than with other forms of lime. The amounts to apply depend on how badly your soil requires calcium, and also upon the available supply of limestone. We have known of instances where as high as eight tons have been applied to the acre with good results, and as low as a ton or a ton and a half has been used very satisfactorily. The usual amount varies from three ; to six tons to the acre. This material should be supplied to the surface after the seed bed is prepared, and harrowed In by the use of a peg-tooth or disk harrow. It may be scattered by the use of a manure spreader; in fact, this Is the usual machine for applying finely ground limestone. DESTROYING GRASSHOPPERS Reply to Jacob Mathiason, Walnut G rove, Minn. "Please send me by mall directions for killing grasshoppers." liefore attempting to give a remedy for the grasshopper plague, a few words In regard to Its early stages of growth will not be out of place. In order for the grasshopper to multiply to any extent, the soil in which the eggs are laid must be undisturbed and there must be an abundance of food available. Th^ most favorable condition for grasshopper development seems to be found in the alfalfa sections of the west. Where It is possible, one of the best preventive measures is to cultivate the ground. The soil need pot he disturbed below the first two Inches of surface, for most of the eggs are deposited very shallow. We fully realize that in many cases this rionp fin ns to comnletoly VUUI?VV VV ? ? , destroy the grasshopper, but where it is possible to plow and cultivate in the fall, the number can bo greatly de creased. There are two ways of destroying the adult or grown grasshopper. One is by the use of the hopper dozer. Various forms are in use, but one thai has given very good satisfaction can he built of sheet iron, ten or twelve feet long, and about twenty-six inches wide, with a board across the back, against which the grasshoppers will fly and then fall into the bottom of the hopper dozer. The bottom of the hopper dozer should he made water tight, 1 so that a quantity of water may bo poured into it, also a small quantity of I kerosene. The hopper dozer should be 1 mounted on low skids or small wheels a.id drawn by one or more horses. The grasshoppers will be collected in ! the hopper dozer and killed by coming in contact with the kerosene. This 1 whole structure Is rather Inexpensive and has proved a very good method of .. * a destroying trie grussnoppur. > The bureau of entomology of the I United States Department of Agrl culture has recommended a poisoned bait, which is known as the "criddle ' mixture," and has given very good i results in some sections. The mixf ture is made as follows: i Onchnlf barrel fresh horse drop~ pings, in which is mixed one pound ? each of salt and parts green. If the 8 droppings are not fresh, the salt If dissolved in water and mixed with the 8 manure and poison. ' Then this mixture is scattered freelj p about, whore the grasshoppers are ? abundant. Dr. Fletcher, entomologist c for the Dominion of Canada, cites ar ? instance where this poison mixture p was scattered around a portion of the 1 field, with the result that this port lot i* stayed green while the grasshopper! I. seriously Injured other parts of the d same field. The criddle mixture hai s been preferred to other brands of poi n son because its effect on other form! i* of animal life is not so serious. Before the frost is tho time to pre pare for next year's crop by selcctim l seed corn in the field. --------HA VI A Boy to 'PES DO you went to plan* him in a Christian | Military Institute wb^n | , his health will b>. cart- j fully looke after, hi?- p mind thoroughly trained. ^ "*{>; and where he will be// tamfht habits of obeid" \ Bflplg ehce, puduality, and in ; WSSBKBt dustry?
