Mr.. MOrris's SilOS.

During the latter part of tcbruary a
neighbor and myself paid visit to the
farm of Mr.. Francis Morris, for the puri
pose of inspecting his silos and the fod-
der contained therein. Mr.. NJ. being
absent, we were politely shown by his
son the silos referred to by j. Nj. Bal
ley (page l4S, March @, together with
the new one constructed last season. In
the latter we found about enough fod-
der to east three or four days, which we
inspected. On the bottom it was cut
and mixed with straw, but OH top II
was placed in the trench without being
cut, and no straw. Both appear TO
have kept well, and as an economy of
labor should prefer the latter method.
On trying our horses with some of the
fodder, one tasted and then rejected it !.
the other would not even taste It, though
that large quantity had been eaten
the empty silos bore ample witness.
We next inspected some Short-IIorns
that had been fed on one bnshel of fod-
der per day, together with one gallon
corn meal and hay I'D HJitum. Their
condition was finer than that of any

only fed one gallon of meal per day and
all the hay they would eat. That corn

Agriculture in Our common Schools.

Mr.. Lawrence of Passumpsic writes,
under date of July 9TH; ave have been
at work on the school-book subject, and
have presented Warnings Elements OF
Agriculture to the convention of super
intendents and text school-book com.
mittees, who have recommended it as
worthy place in our schools for read
ing and study The great objection to
the introduction of books on agricul.
ture was that the feathers in our schools
are not qualified to give instruction
therein. What commentary on the
higher teaching of the time! How
would 1t work for our county grange to
submit a circular to the trustees of our
academies and high schools, calling
their attention TO this fact, and suggest
ing to them the Importance of prcpar-
ing teachers to instruct in the elemental
ry branches OF agriculture? .
Intelligent men who have now had
their attention called to this matter ex-
press their surprise that the subject has
not before been pressed upon the public
ticc, and greater still that publishers
have not thought oft. 1t is now (thanks
to you and others who write for the
press) before the people, and it seems
10 me to be the duty of all Interested in
the future of Vermont agriculture to
work for the promotion of elementary
instruction in the sciences related to ag-
riculture in our public schools" q
REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.-If the
managers of the normal schools and
other institutions engaged in furnishing
us with teachers really desire to fit their
classes for the work which our CaledO-
mia county friends have so much at
heart, we suggest that much might be
done by making Professor Johiison's
" How Crops Feed" and GLOW Crops
Crow" textbooks in their institutions.
warnings Elements" might also be
proftably used. A good deal of gram
mar, geography and the higher mathc.
mates might well be dispensed with,
and the time thus saved be devoted to
the study of physical sciences relating
to all the avocations of common life
We hope this reform may be effected
and the way to accomplish that end is
for the farmers throughout the state 10

have done and demand it and stick To

WHY GRASS SHOULD RE CUr E,p,v

WHY GRASS SHOULD BE CUT EARLY.
According to the average of thirteen
analyses made by Prof. Emile Wolf of
Germany, green grass contains SO per
cent OF nutrition; IL cut when in ,loom
1t will contain but G2 per cent, whereas
it not cut until the seeds are fully form
ell or ripe it will contain only 81 Der
cent of nutrition. The experience of
every farmer agrees with this ANALYSIS.
for We all know when our animals run
in green pastures they either yield large
masses of milk or get fat. While fed
ON hay cut in bloom, 1t is all we can do
to keep mp their condition.; and If fed
on hay cut when ripe or nearly ripe.
they get very poor unless fed with
grain. BY drying our hay crop in the
sun, so that 1t does not heat or sweat In
the cock or NOV, it retains all its sweet
ness and none of its nutritious elements
are changed in the least. BY cutting
when SO green we avoid the spreading
OF all daisy, thistle and other weed
. seeds over our farms In the manure.
and our first haying is all out of the way
before orr grain crop is rips and after
that is harvested We are ready for our
second crop Of hay.-[Cor. Husband

Recent analyses at the Connecticut
experiment station of about dozen diff
ierent specimens of corn fodder, cut at
inherent periods, gives the highest
amount OF albuminoids to that cut Au-
gust 9TH, of carbohydrates to that cut
September 20, and the highest dlgesti-
Bile ratio to a sample that was harvested
IN lSI7. Analysis shows much larger
percentage of ash in sweet corn than in
the ordinary field varieties, which con-
firms the general opinion that II is much
more exhaustive than common field
corn: AS tho stover increases in age,
its feeding value diminishes.
