. American farming and stock raising, with useful facts for the household, devoted to farming in all its departments. Agriculture. CORN. 321 The first two illustrations of corn- shellers represent excellent machines, made by the Sandwich Manufacturing Co., Sandwich, Illinois—the first being a small hand-machine, adapted to small farms; the latter larger, and better adapted to farms where a large amount of grain is utilized, and can be used as a hand-sheller or with other power, as desired. The third sheller represented shows a machine mounted and ready for use that will save the labor of husk- ing, as it shells, equally clean, either husked or unhusked corn. It is manufactured by Kingsland, Ferguson & Co., St. Louis, Mo., and proves very valuable as a labor-saving implement where large quantities of corn are raised. It is a much more economical meth- od of feeding, to first have the corn ground, rather than give it to stock in the ear; this has not only been proved by man_y careful experiments, but by the experience of the majority of our best farmers. Mr. Brown, Professor of Agriculture at the Guelph Farm, Prov- eight-hand comet. ince of Ontario, has recently been making a variety of valuable experiments; among others he has ascertained that apparently about one-fifth of the ground corn passes through the stomach and alimentary canal of cattle undigested. If this be true, a much larger propor- tion of unground corn must pass undigested and be lost. Besides, when fed in the ear, much of the corn is wasted by being trampled under the feet of the animals while Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Flint, Charles L.
