AttRFCW.TCTRAL. , . • , " liwiw with thejUfc - i" past year the trials of enslUgo Irere so extended and numerous that the result* having a majority ran* l>e fairly taken as decisive. The Depar - „nient of Agriculture early in the sum- »er sent out inquiries asking for results of experience in th* matter of silos and en ilage. The questions asked were re­ garding tlie loo ition, form, dimensions, Vmterials and construction of the silo, eost, crops us d for ens lage, plantVsg and cultivation, st ige at which fodder is best for ensilage, product per acre, best ki d of corn lor, value of sweet oorn as compared with other varieties, preparation of fodd r and filling the •ilo, elapse of time before opening the •ilo and condition when opened, dete­ rioration if any, value for milch cows and effi ot on dairy products, value for other stock and amount consumed p*>r bead, method of feeding, alone or with Other feed, condition of stock fed on onsilage, profitableness of ensilage, all things considered. The following is a summary of the result, showing the -general drift of practice and opinion on the several points enumerated from re­ plies received from eighty-eight observ­ ers in seventeen different States. It is Intended here to give a comprehensive View of the whole subject in the com­ bined light of the several statements. 1. Location of tbe silo: Thej are generally built with reference to con­ venience for tee ling, in, under or adja­ cent to the feeding room. It may be below or above the surface, or partly ftbove and partly below. This is not essential. The form with few excep­ tions shows a rectangular horizontal flection, one is octagonal. The cylin­ drical form is suggested especially w: en built under ground, as the wall oould be m de light. A deep silo requires less pressure outside its own weight and exposes less surface to the air. Depth IB important, but if too deep there is danger of expressing juice from ensilage in the bottom. A narrow silo has the advantage of exposing little surface to the air when feeding. The capacity of the silo is immaterial. It can be in­ creased by a temporary curb at tbe top, •o that tbe ensilage, when settled, may fill the silo. For walls, underground, •tone, brick and ooncrete are used. " Above ground two thicknesses of inch boards may be used w th sheathing paper between if supported against lateral pressure from the en»ilage rover; a layer of straw or hay serves in some measure to exclude the air, but is not necessary; boards 01- plank are placed directly on tbe ensilage, matched or not. Sometimes tbe cover is ma le in sections two feet wide. A little sp .oe should lie allowed ut the side?, between the walls and the cover, so as not to in­ terfere with the settling. Any heavy material may be used for weight. .The amount varies. The object is to make the ensi age compact and thereby exclude the air; 100 pounds to the square foot is a fair weight. The cost varies from $4 to $5 per ton for silos of masonry to 50 cents for wooden silos. Of crops for ensilage corn takes the lead. Any forage crop may l>e stored in the silo. The relative value for ensilage of the different soiling crops can only be determined through oft-repe ted carefx?L tests. The plant­ ing and qu.tivation are suoh as are nec- ry to riuse a crop for anv.other pur­ pose, the better management of course producing more fodder on the same r ground. Corn produoes the largest gro'S weight per acre, and the largest kind is generally preferred. Sweet corn lvas as yet showed no deoided ad- Vantage. Preparing 'odder for the silo: Cutting in the fieid is mostly done by band, cutters with elevators, if needed, ere driven by horse, steam or water power; fine cutting half an inoh or less is in favor because it packs better. While filling the ensilage should be kept level and well trodden. A horse may be used lor tbe latter purpose--a good place to tame a wild eolt. With the packing equally tliorongh rapid fill­ ing is probably the best. Tbe cost of filling varies from 85 oents to $2 per ton, but the latter includes the entire cost of the crop. The time when crops are at their best for ensilage is when their fu l growth is reached and before they commence to ripen. It should be rememl>ered that nothing will be taken out of the silo unless it is first put in. Tne time from filling to open­ ing is indefinite. It may be opened as , soon as cool, or may be kept for six months or more. In ne irty all oases tbe loss by decay was very slight. There is no loss after opening while feeding. Some think it best to uncover • section or the whole surface of he silo and thus expose a new surface daily. It has been fed more generally to milch eown than any other stock, and no un­ favorable results are reported. There can be little doubt that its greatest •alue will be found in this connection. .Ensilage has bwn fed to all classes of farm stock, including swine and horses, with results almost uniformly favor­ able. In two eases horses were in­ juriously affected. Tbe daily ration for cows is fifty to sixty pounds per d iv, with some dry fodder and grain. Ex­ periments have been made in feeding ^ensilage exclusively, and the results have varied with the quality of ensilage .and the stock fed. It is certain that ensilage of corn cut in blossom or earlier is not alone sufficie t for miik cows, It is best to feed hay onoe a day and some grain or rich food. The condition cf stock, both as to / health and g un in weight, has been uniformly favorabe; and lastly, there is hardly a doubt--certain y not a dissenting opinion--as to the profitable­ ness of ensilage. I his, ootiling from so many different souroes. and in so many localities, ou?ht to bd oonelusive evidence.--Detroit Post The Houdans and Dorkings have five toes on each foot. These are useless incumbrances, but the purity of the breed demands it. In order to keep the mark affixed tbe Dorkings have been bred too clo-e and are a tender fowl, possessing no hardiness, especially in this country. Tbe Houdan is hardier than the Dorking;, but, as it must retain five toes, its breeding b/ings it below the Leghorn in point of rigor. Both breeds are good table fowls, but poor winter layers. Tb« Small Ho( * There is no profit in keeping a hog until it is 18 months old, and, although it may reach the weight of 400 pounds, the heavy weight will not compensate for the food oon -urned. A pig farrowed in April and slaughtered about Christ­ mas will more than return his cost, for it must be taken into consideration that during that period he will be but a pig, and the earlier feedings small in quan­ tity. He should weigh 250 pounds when killed, especially if a grade Essex or Berkshire, and the carcass will con­ tain a fair admixture of lean and fat. Very large hogs are only fit for the lard tub, and very often only for the soap maker. The quality of the meat influ­ ences the prioe, and the difference of only 1 cent a pound amounts to qnita sum in the whole. The pr!»ftUbl» horj is one thai is grown quickly, fatt d without delay, and marketed before it begins to oonsume the food laid up for winter. ___ FAMILY MATTERS. Poultry Item*. Boosts should l»e made low. There fis no neoessity for placing them in a position that c ills for the u-te of the wings i i reaching them, as broken legs, feet aTid toes are the oonseque-ioe of im­ perfect roosts. Each fowl will try to reach the topmost round, even if all ethers are pus ted off. The proper wav to have roosts is to pla e them all paral'el and as low as possible, which avoids str fe and accidents. The Leghorns are an active and lively breed of fowls. When closely • confined t >ey are subject to vioes, such r egg-eating and feather-pulling. This owing to a gre vt dr iin on the system -for materials, as they are iobess-tnt lay­ ers. The breeder should l>e care'ul to supply thos i fowls with all the neoe*- M*ry materials by a variety of food, both animal and vegetable. If the fowls lav soft (shellers) eggs II indicate-* a lack of shell-forming ma­ teria', and the deficiency can be sup­ plied by pounding oyster shells to fieoes IM giving them to the fowls. WHAT MAKES THB BLAZE. -- That house will be kept in turmoil where there is no toleration of each oth­ er's errors. If you lay a single piece of wood on the grate and apply the fire to it it will go out; put on another stick and they will burn. Add half a dozen and you will have a blaze. If one member of the family gets into a passion and is let alone he will cool down, and may possibly be ashamed and repent. But oppose temper to temper, pile on all the fuel, draw in another of the group, and let one harsh answer be followed by others, and there will soon be a blaze will enwrap then> all. COMPLIMENTS.--Those who welcome flattery are generally persons who bad­ ly need praise. Real merit needs none. A flatterer complimented Dr. Wavland very highly on one of his discourses of w|iieh he thought very little. "What you say," replied the good man, "gives me no better opinion of myself, but a much worse opinion of you." Says a writer in the Churchman: When I was young I knew a girl who was so fond of compliments that she was perpetual­ ly seeking them, and after receiving one would repeat it to her friends as {>roudlv as if it had come spontaneous-y. Even now, when she is past middle age, she is the laugliing-stoek among our young people, because she still courts and repeats compliments as in her youthful days. So blinded is she by her vanity, that she never suspects that she is being ridiculed br those who wickedly pretend to admire her; neither will she believe that the per*- sons who flatter her speak disparaging­ ly of her to others. A woman or girl who lays aside the modesty and femi­ nine reserve that are an ornament to the female character must expect this. J: A ^ .tJ XL Wmpmuoiaw kro v& imvro DUVUXU mj sinoere and spontaneous, and delicately expressed. Experience shows that it is not the girl whom a man feeds with flattery that he tries to win for him­ self. HUBBAWDS AWD WIVES.--I was won­ dering recently why a friend did not keep a servant, and was met by the in­ dignant exclamation, "Why, her hus­ band is a poor man 1" Yes, he is a poor man--poor h more senses than one. There are five children there, fresh and rosy, for their mother has given them her beauty and her strength--almost i life, but from the oldest to the young­ est not one of them ever appeared to think of her or her hard lot. Bathing and dressing occupies their time until breakfast, then a visit to the cats and kittens, a frolio in the garden, then away to sohooL In the evening there are music lessons, French and German and all kinds of castles to be built over the dining-room table. It seems hard to wish te curtail their pleasures and opportunities, but how muoh kinder and better they would appear if they would but give a thought to the poor mother toiling over their mending and falling asleep in her chair. How un­ generous it is for a man to say "I work hard and it is but fair that my wife should do the same." His work is such that a substitute cannot be provided. If there could be how gladly she would second the plan. With her it is differ­ ent; for a few, a very few dollers per moath, a strong woman oould be kept in the kitchen to do all the hard work of the house.--L. H. Hawes. THE MAN WHO BUYS His WIFE'S THINGS.--The happiest homes are those where the husband interferes never at all in the household management, but turns over to his wife the money for the house and leaves the rest for her. I can appreciate the man who goes te market if he goes not for economy--te get butter a cent or two less a pound, or cheaper cuts of beef--but because he wants the best there is to be had. Men are more skillful, more generous marketers than women. They are free with money when delicacies are offered; they will have the first of the season of every tiling, cost what it may. And the market people seldom try to pull the wool over their eyes, as they sometimes do with women, and palm off upon them Beoond-rate artioies at first-rate prices. Men are not to be humbugged when the stomach is iu question. But market­ ing is not a man's business. Tbe wife should control that as she should every­ thing which pertains to housekeeping. If, however, there is anything to oe said it favor of the man who does the marketing, it is impossible to find ex- cases for the man who does all the family shopping and rele;. a'« 8 his wife to a position in the house which is noth­ ing higher than that which might lie ocmpied by an upper servant.--Pro­ gress. ' A Good Little Boy. Two little Austin schoolboys got in­ to a quarrel, and one of them said to the otber: " If it wasn't for your ma being such a | good woman, I'd tear your shirt all to • pieces." "You tear mv shirt, if you dare!" I "I ain't going to tear it, because your ma would have to mend it, and I don't want to put her to any trouble, because t she gave me two cakes the other day." I As with some grown-up people, the wav to a chi'd'* heart lies through his stomach.--Texas Siftings. CHINAMEN in lnd;a usually receive ' doable the pay of Hindoo laborers. The lute Bexes ef tienera. The River Rhone flows into Lake Ge­ neva at its east end, and then flows out again on the west. I learned that in the geography, but I had to cross the Atlantic ocean to fix the fact in my mind. Geneva is situated on both sides of the rushing Rhone, at the point where it flows out of the lake on the west. It is a brisk, bright, pretty city of nearly fifty thousand inhabitants. Many English and Americans are al­ ways to be found there. Geneva is known to fame on account of jewelry, music-boxes, John Calvin and Jean Jacques Rousseau. As a part of the regular programme, you will be shown the Protestant cathedral whose walls once echoed to the tread of that great man, John Calvin, who burnt Michael Servetus at the stake to make a good orthodox Christian out of him. The final result is not known. But tbe Geneva music-boxes of to-day will interest the modern tourist far more than the bones of John Calvin will. Tbe most wonderfnll small clock in the world is shown here at u watch­ maker's. an exquisite little affair in sil­ ver--clock and jewel-box in one. When the hour strikes, a tiny, jeweled bird open's its throat nnd sings till a mite of a cat makes a dash at it, then it sud- derily disappears. The music-boxes are of all sizes, from one which you can slip into your pocket to another as large as a piano. When some of these large ones are set going, they give the effect of a whole orchestra playing. The sound of drum, horn, vioHn, harp and cymbal is quite as distinct as if they were so many separate instruments. These music-boxes are, in fact, called "orchestrions." It is not uncommon to have them in the Swiss hotel dining- rooms, to play during meals. There seems a sort of magic in these strange music-boxes. They are of all imaginable shapes. You enter a shop and ask to look at them. A monkey be­ gins to sing to yon like a mocking-bird. You are politely asked to sit down while you wait. Suddenly yon start as if you had been shot. The very chair is sing­ ing, as though the demon was in it, a weird melody as sweet as the song of the Lorelei. In point of fact the en­ chanted chair is a music-box. Sitting down in the thing sets it going.--Cor. Cincinnati Commercial. A IIslf-Dollar Trial, Mr. Ernest King, editor of the Fall River, Mass., Sun, thus discourse* the merits of St. Jacobs Oil: "Sufferiug with rheumatic pains I was Didymus UH to remedies.

That it was not the best dinner that could have been served in the city, was afterward explained. The hotel where the meal was first ordered, failed to come to time, and the dinner under consideration was hurriedly prepared at another caravansary. Twenty of us sat around a long table in the dining- room, which looked out on the plaoita, at the other side of which was the kitchen, where the vituals were cooked. •The waiter was a curiosity. He was a long, lank fellow from the States. He was in lii!\ shirt-sleeves, and a piece of ordnance, in the shape of a navy revol­ ver, decorated his belt. He was ready for action. On the way from the room, with the food in his hands, to take an extra whiff or two of his cigar­ ette. The table was covered with a cloth. Napkins were not seen. Water was served from decanters, and bottles V of ,imported Sauterne circulated round the festive board. The first course was soup, served in a tureen, from which it was transferred to the guests in plates. It was boiling hot, and greasy--very greasv. Being hungry, we got away with it in very short order, and after a long interval, during which our friend with the revolver must have consumed several cigarettes, he reappeared with large dishes of omelette with hard, square pieces of ham or something con­ cealed in the egg. The omelette was first-rate. It filled an "aching void," and after getting outside of one or two chunks of it we felt quite independent of what might come after. The knives and forks were never changed, so with 4frem we attacked the next course, of stewed chicken. The fowl were of modern origin and tender, but seemed to have been steeped in grease. Next came queer-Looking dishes which the oonnoisseurs decided was head cheese. It was sparingly partaken of. Some kind of meat patties followed. We had preserved plums and pears, rather too well done, and the crowning course was watermelon. It took an unconscionable time to serve the course--a man with a first-rate digestive apparatus having time to get hungry between each of them; but on the whole it was a pleas­ ant entertainment, and no one could fail to appreciate the genuine whole­ hearted hospitality with which it was accompanied.--Lefier from Chihuahua. Couvkleiwynl Pernni. When one has been sick for a long time with some low fever, such as typhoid or ma­ larial, it is with a gladsome feeling he leaves his bed and tinds himself growing better.

"How lovely the fields and woods are in their autumnal tints," said Miss Fitz- joy.
