Shredded fodder, or corn stover, has great value as feed stuff because the juices of the growing corn are retained in the stover in soluble form. If corn is harvested at tho right t rue, before it gets too ripe, the change from the soluble to the insoluble form is arrested, and the fodder cures into nutritious feed, which, when shredded. Is equal to or superior to timothy hay, while the same fodder if allowed to stand a week longer would lose much of its value for feeding pur poses. If allowed to stand until it has become too ripe, tie- rich sap turns Into woody, Indigestible fibre, and the fodder becomes hard, tough and unpalatable to tho stock. The McCormick corn binder and the McCormick busker and shredder enable the farmer to cut his corn at the proper time .ml sure.l the fodder into stover, which is better than hay.
