Xnat for the Hom-OUUi and K*fM> it is to contain of the silo are smallest space Abont There are a larjje number of farm- ,ew who have ne^er used ensilage. They estimate the cost of the silo as too ?re$t in proportion to storage capacity, and they are satisfied to use ordinarily cured corn fodder. The item ot labor is also a drawback which is not viewed in the proper light. First, to estimate the stor­ age capacity of silo, it may be stated that a ton of ensilage occupies about fifty cubic feet A ton of hay occu. pies about live hundred cubic feet, but the feeding value of the hay is nhnut t-WO SDd OHShalf t'SCS thut 0* ensilage, though it occupics ten times as much space. The silo, therefore, has a storage capacity at least four times greater than the barn contain­ ing hay. Dry corn fodder takes up even more space than hay, and for that reason should not be compared with ADSilHVA at. Jill. A ciln ronnifoe heavier lumber than a barn, and more of it proportionately to size^ but the extra expense lor roof, foun­ dation, etc., of the barn makes the cost fully as much as that of the silo, and it mast be lour times as large as the silo if bay, as the contents compressed into the possible. It has been claimed that well-cured dry corn fodder is equal to ensilage, and no doubt the claim is correct, but it is seldom that corn fodder is cut at the proper stage or comes out fresh and bright Much of it is wasted, and its value is materially reduced by exposure and other causes before the winter is over, and even if well stored and protected there is a large loss of the coarse butts, which are usually refused by stock. The total dry matter is present, but the natural solvents or juices have been lost* and a large portion is not di­ gestible. En ilage, on the contrary, is succulent, and supplies the place of grass in winter by its dietary ef­ fect. Dried corn fodder, if passed through tne fodder cutter, and fed with ground grain, will no dwubt be readily accepted, but it does not com­ pare with ensilage as a supplement to other winter foods. The principal value of ensilage is its succulency. It is estimated that one cow will consume fifty pounds of ensilage daily, and that ninety tons, with bran and other food, should keep twenty cows for six months, and that it can be grown on from six to eight acres ot good land, filling a silo twenty-flve feet deep, eighteen teet long and ten feet wide. This esti. mate *8 made by a Wisconsin dairy­ man, who did just as stated in the claim. The labor is no greater than for corn fodder. The ensilage is put up in the silo the same day it is cut, and is stored away conveniently for winter use. Lry corn fodder must also be cut, hound, and shocked, and the grain cribbed, ground and hauled, as well as being subject to loss by im­ proper storage. Ensilage is not in­ tended to displace other foods en­ tirely, but to feed in connection with them. Ground grain, oil cake, hay and roots should not be omitted, but the ensilage will greatly cheapen tho cost ol the whole. * It ,.

Peter Henderson writes in Gar­ dening for Profit that the most thor­ ough gardeners never become entirely free from weeda It is probably harder for them than it is for farth­ ers, on account of the large amouut of weed seeds in the stable manure that they purchase. Composting this manure does not always destroy weed seeds. Probably a farmer who relies on clover and commercial fertilizers, with what manure he can make on his own farm, will get his land free from weeds more quickly than wiU the average gardener. Growing clover, seeding it thickly and cutting it early destroys many weeds. The Clover outgrows and smothers them. Ko weeds should be allowed to ma­ ture their seeds in corn, potatoes, or any hoed crop. )n this way no weed seed?, ~:!I mature on ths farm, and of course there will be Done in the home-made manure pile. . , Change* In PIflr Feeding Many years ago the pig went from acorns to corn in the timbered sec­ tions of the country. The pig didn't know how to eat anything else, uu- less it was a rare little slop In those days the pig was a coarse, hardy ani- *mal, maturing in two years fairiv Well to two hundred pounds. This was later succeeded, a writer says, by the gospel of grass and the clover fields. The farmers were not long in discovering that a bushel of corn fed on good clover or bluegrass pasture went much further than a bushel fed in a dry pen. The ne t idea was, why not feed tbe hog al­ together on grass? Simply because the hog is not built that way. The stomach is not large enough to enable it to utilize enough coarse feed to make a profitable growth. Give the hog time enough and select a gia.intr type, and it can be done, but the time involved, together with the risk from disef.se and the interest on the investment, render it unprofita­ ble in the grass and corn States of the West How much of the frame should be made on gra«s and how much on graifrto secure the greatest profit depends very much on condi­ tions and circumstances The point that we wish to emphasize is that the hog cannot be grown profitably on grain alone, nor under ordinary Western conditions on grass alone; that is, not grain nor grass, but grain on grass, that brings the profit.-- Kansas City Journal Odds and Koda. * A LlTfLE flour dredged df^%cale before icing it will keep the icing from spreading and running off.

Typewriters in the hotels are in an exceptionally equivocal position. Many hotel proprietors to-day will not employ women as typewriters. It is the male guests who ordinarily want te dictate, and they generally want to do so in their rooms, whexe they can be at their ease.

One authority lays it down that the bagman of to-day--the "drummer," in American phraseology --is the immediate descendant of the old champan. or peddler, or hawker. As these personages were known even in the time of Chaucer in this case the modern commercial can boast a very respectable ancestry. Another antiquarian, however, in this month's Bookseller has another theory to propose For this he brings the poet Southey as a witness. It is that the commercial travelers of to­ day really date back to the Quakers of 100 or 150 years since. These per­ sons, it is well known, were forced to wander throughout the country by persecution and ill treatment They were then, as they are to-day, mostly good, honest men of business, and with the true commercial instinct they seem to have made a virtue of necessity, and during their wander­ ings to have made acquaintance as far as possible with the country tradesmen, to whom they often sold goods, watches, "cambiets," and other articles. They seemed to have pushed their trade so vigorously that they obtained heavy orders, so much so that "the tradesmen, in London stood idle," as one of the Quakers said, "while we filled our coffers." One Thomas Greene, a Quaker preacher and only a laboring man, died worth some thousands of pounds uiade in this fashion. The specula­ tion is both curious and interesting, however the matter may be decided. The "Fashion o' the Hoose." A servant girl happened to be eu- gaged at a farmhouse where the mis­ tress was known to have a rather hasty temper. On the first Saturday night the girl was told to clean the boots and shoes for Sunday. Coming into the kitchen a short time afterward, the mistress, seeing that the maid had cleaned her own boots first, was so enraged that she lifted tb«m and threw them into a tub of water which st:>od near. The servant made no sign, but when all the boots were cleaned, she also lifted them and threw them in­ to the tub of water. "Why, whatever possessed you to do that?" grasped her mistress, in a fury. "Oh. I just* tbocht It was the fashion o' the hoose," calmly re­ plied the girl. To Core Insomnia.

Amontr the Arabs a curious wedding custom prevails. After various cere­ monies the bridegroom is led in the evening into a Targe, dimly-lighted room. Here, huddled on the floor on one side, he finds the female relatives and friends of the bride,, all of the same height and si/e, all wearing pre­ cisely similar clothing and closely veiled. One of these is the bride, and he has to find out which it is. If he has been wise he has bribed some of the spoctators to give him a sign to Holmasafnlcfti Yankee.
