The former yielded 59 bushels per acre, 13 of which were good and 46 poor. The corn planted 3 inches apart in the row yielded about 600 pounds more digestible matter per acre than that 12 inches apart. Too much importance should not be placed on this increased yield, for in

The corn planted 3 inches apart in the row yielded about 600 pounds more digestible matter per acre than that 12 inches apart. Too much importance should not be placed on this increased yield, for in a dry year, the reverse might have resulted. The fact that 46 bushels out of 59 produced in the corn 3 inches apart were poor in quality, is an important CORN IN THE SHOCK. METHODS OF FEEDING CORN FODDER. Feeding Whole. Bound corn fodder is much more conveniently handled than that which is loose. When fed on the hillside in the pasture the bands need not be cut. This practice has the advantage of keeping the waste stalks away from the barnyard, besides aiding very much in the spring of the 3^ear in holding the moisture which would otherwise run ofT.
