BILCIDIO WITM 'UT SILOS.—Tne Bev. Edwin C.
Collard, of Alt io St. Paocrae,writse as follow* to
Monday*, Standard :—" Sir.- Some Urns ago a
coareepooder.t of the Stanelaril mentioned that In
Holland ensilage was made without silos. Unfor-
tunately be gave no particulars of how this wee clone,
nor bee he done so in any subsequent communication.
Thinking, then, that it might to of service to some
of our agricultural friends dismaini to try OAPerilneßte
In the matter, I recently wrote to a Dutch geotleman
with whom I am acquainted asking him for informa-
tion. From his reply not to hand I send you the
lollowieg extract, the English of my friend being
slightly altered to make it somewhat plainer :—' The
usual way of preserving green fodder in Holland
see= to be in silos. However, the chief cause of the
preservation being the exclusion of Mr, obtained partly
by mffident pressure, and pertly by cl slog in and
covering, some people swinge above the around. I
bear that this in done a* follows The grass is
mown early; it need not to dry; somewhat damp Is
even preferable, though too much wet is not g 01.

landowner, who has used silos hitherto, wring
to me:—' I have until now only spatted In silos with
good raselte, but have done away with them now to
make pl on for better. I intend simply to heap op
paws above the ground as a hay-rick, with heavy
pressor, on it, without any aide wall. lam nearly
sore that the trial will suc,eml, though I cannot prove
this bef 're autumn.' And adds OAT friend I have
written to another gentleman who has, I bear, ensiled
alenntly in hay.stacka. I will let you know his
answer. ac.' As our Dutch neighbours are evidently
carefully szperimentising in this important field, I
Omit that many Englielt agriculturists will do the
same. -I am, sir, your obedient servant, Epwn C.
