CORN AND CORNMEAL.—There is likely to be a change in the matter of the use of corn or rather corn meal. While in former years the corn has been shelled and the cob cast aside or burned for fuel, recent experiments, notably at the Kansas agricultural college, have seemed to prove conclusively that when fed to steers and hogs, better results have been obtained by the use of meal in which the corn and cob are ground together than where the corn meal was fed alone.

Whether it is from knowledge of this fact or otherwise we are unable to say, but the use of corn and cob meal is coming into more general use. Farmers are causing their grinding of corn to include the cob, and are well pleased with the results of its use. In feeding to horses or cattle it would seem that there would be much less danger attending accidental overfeeding than where meal is fed alone. In these days it becomes average farmers to practice economy in every direction, and if he can effect a saving by feeding the ground cob with the meal it is his duty to do so.
