MANNER OF FEEDING STOCK
Of the 'manner of feeding stock, I do
think too exclusive use is made of raw corn.
It is one of the best grains undoubtedly to
finish ell' a fatting lot of stock, but to. keep
- them along in store order,•it lacks ; bulk;
and. is too stimulating. iljachines have
been in . use . here to break up the corn cob
nil ail t:therhave:proved-so
defective as to rather. prejudice the farmt4s—
against them. I suppose they lack strength
in many of their parts, and somewhat too
complex in their consn'uetion. If some of
the eastern machinists would only,: turn
their attention to this subject, and make a
machine that is both strong and
and of a reasonable price, he could net but

region of the southwest would' be almost,

.of strung, powerful machine to cut up
corn, stalks and all, something upon the
principle of a hay cutter, hut the demand
for these would be much less titan the for-
