s SOUTHERN BANNER: MAT 7, 1878. glnricultttraL ✓"V. SCRAPER (Communicated) mxE, Ga., May 187$. !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 ItiYsilf good Heason.—TuErea- only one sample bottle of 8 IIetatine for the Liver d to the same person, for ter iy our Druggist, C. \Y.
