A member of the Wisconsin Dairyman's Association has been making experiments to test the value of corn-fodder, which has matured a crop of corn, in comparison with hay. He found two pounds of stock equal in feeding value to one pound of hay. The corn yielded fifty bushels of shelled corn and one and three-quarter tons of cured corn stalks, nearly equal in value to a ton of hay. His experiments were in feeding the stalks uncut, and he estimated it at 40 per cent. If they had been finely cut the waste would have been much less. He states that enough corn-stalks are wasted in his State annually to keep all the four-footed animals without the use of hay.
