That recent invention ktiown as a shredding machine will llki'lv soon be made to husk much of the corn raised in the near future, and It is more than probable that it will be also much used when preparing the stover for teeding. In the meantime, how- ever, the good old-fashioned way ot hosking the corn in the field from the stook^ and then tying the stover In slieaves Is likely to be con- tinued for sonic lime to come, when but small quantities arc grown. No better place can be found for storing the corn itself than a corn crib; that Is to .tay, a buHJIng ihe wail of which have small spaces or openings between the boards which form the wails, and even the floor of the same. There Is then opportunity for a suftkient current of air to pass through the corn all the time to prevent It from moulding, even when put Into the crib in a fresh state. If corn be piled up on a floor, or deposited In a deep bin In the autumn, it is sure to mould In a greater or less degree The question of the value of storing corn 'w the silo, as compared with curing i.
