!4. Kit. Editor—In my last, article I
argued that fodder should not'or be
stacked in the open lid^, but harves
ted into bams as soon as it is “pulled”
and cured. I also pointed out stunt
of ti»e losses which a farmer sustain#
from stacking his fodder in the open
Held.
I suppose, however, that many of
the farmtys will still persist slack
ing tliair fodder in the open field, so
I now propose to show them some
thing more of the folly of their course.
When fodder is ’stacked in the open
lick! it is usually done in the central
part of the field, and of course has to
stand there exposed to the weather
until the.corn is gathered.
It is then hauled home in a dry,
bleached, chaffy state; and the waste
from two handlings—loading and
unloading,-:* simply enormous, as all
who know »any thing- about farming
can attest. He who is a&nslemed
to stack Colder in the field, as a
general rule^is one who has neither
‘Vrtore-hoiM» nor barn,” in which to
harvest his fodder^vhen hcHocs haul
it home ; consequently lieiWed^
to stack aeeeonawE* ’»» *•»»»« eori
-.er of his horse-lot or barn yard and
'.hereby incut all the losses end
damages of ibejirst stacking. There
is nnolhet sour-ce of loss which iii
volves in it a hit of a moral point.
If is common with farmers in the
litll of the year, :w soon as they have
finished gathering in their eropsto
turn their cattle of every kind into
the new made pastures.
Two neighbors, il’ll suppose to he
living with joii.isjg plantations, Mr.
Forward and Mr. .Late.
Mr. Forward Intrrias and gathers
in hi* horses, tnnles, -cows, and oxen
into the rich pasture. The cattle in
their curiosity to know how far the
pasture docs extend, end how many
- good things are found there, rush on
til they come to the boundary line
between their owners farms which
is a very sorry fence ;*o on they rush
right into neighbor Lat(f-« field. At
; this time Mr. Late hadn’t «juite
finished harvesting his crop, lacking
a few loads of corn and setAtral stacks
,of fodder, which were the best he
ihad saved from that crop. But
neighbor Forward’s herd «f bens{%
,not sympathizing with Mr. LatcV
.condition, march right on into his
fodder stacks and have as glorious a
“harvest feast’’ as was ever enjoyed
tby the grangers North, South, East,
,er West. The result of such depre
dation X leave my readers to surmise.
Again, we sometimes see a fodder
stack penned up in the field to pr-e-
iVeut stock from eating, or injuring
it. Xow it is almost a proverbial
fact, that whercever a stack of this
kind is left, the cattle will stand
ground it and haunt it until the pen
either gets «o close to the stack, of
■so low dowjj, or so dilapidated in
some way that most any old cow can
jjokc her long, tally tongue over and
get a bundle whenever she wishes.
Lastly, suppose some of this
w.eathcr-beaten fodder is put on the
-market. The purchasers around
cities, towns and everywhere else, find
that instead of a pure, strong, di
gestible, nutritious food tltey have to
purchase one that is dry, exhausted,
mildewed, and hardly any nutritive
power in it. The farmer finds that!
instead of getting a good price for
his fodder he has to take just, what
he can get. The merchant tells him
if he trill take it out “in trade’’ he
trill give him half price for it. An*
other Gays *• Til allow you what its
xeorthf and some one else says " Its
no count 1’’ So the farmer come*
home complaining to bin family,
neighbors and friends of the peremp
tory manner in which men of a'j
•callings and professions defraud the I
former of' Ilia haifl earnings, ]v$hic
lie has made by the sweat of his
brow.
New, Mr. Editor, if we count up
all the loss from stacking fodder iu
the open field, and then apply the
figures to them,.and then enumerate
all tiie losses in ihffionrse of a man’s
lifetime, we will have some startling
facts lor the consideration of the
rmers. I leave this calculation for
time, hoping that what I
in my boyish way will
