FARM AND FIRESIDE.

ENsILAGE.-We published a few weeks
ago an article on the Importance to far
mers of this new process of preserving
green food for winter use of stock, and
gave some description of the process, which
is cheap and simple, and seems to result
in immense advantage. The Commission
er Of Agriculture for Virginia, Dr.:Pol-
lard, has been investigating and ventila-
ting the subject, and we find the following
from him in the last number Of his publf-
cation:
1--WE promised in our. last to give some
additional information on the construction
of silos to preserve forage in the green
state. We have lately visited an excellent
one, constructed by the Messrs. Haxall at
their farm, Bankstown, near Rich mond
It is 10 feet wide, 10 feet deep and 81 feet
long, walled up with brick III bricks) and
cemented on brick at the bottom, and Is
covered by house with room above for
will answer. 1t may be lined with plank at
sides at bottom, and covered with a cheap
roof. It occurs to the writer that even out of
doors, where pit can be dug in hard clay
soil, that all lining may be dispensed
with. Such pits, lined only with straw or
pine tags, preserve sweet potatoes perfect
ly when located under 'sfodder stacks
A roof might be made of shingles and plac-
ed on the ground. This might be movea-
BILE, and if considered necessary, might be
put on rollers to move it easily, or it might
be made in two sections, one roof little
higher than the other, SO as to permit the
lower roof to slide under.
''The cost Of the implement to cut the
fodder up will be about $50 for good one.
Several neighb0rs can unite to buy this,
and where farmer has not horse power
or steam engine he can always hire one
It may be that this practice will become
so popular and be SO general, that persons
will keep and hire machinery for ensilag-
ing as they do now for wheat threshing.-
The forage should be cut up to four-tenths
or one-half inch pieces. It should be well
trampled by the feet Of persons or mules
or horses, and the weights applied.
I'm using it one end is opened and the
food cut out with some suitable implement
some twenty-four hours before it is to be
fed. Some take it out only three times a
week. BY doing SO alcoholic fermentation
commences, and the food is then more rel
ished and more nutritious.
'Mr. Bailey of Bellerica, Massachusetts,,
in recent article in Gland and Home,''
headed Milk made at cent per quart
goes into estimates to show that it can be
made at this price by this system of ensi-
lage. He gives statements which show
that he has been very successful with this
plan of preserving green forage and feed
ing catJle."

THE RULE OF THE BOSSES.

The campaign seems to have opened the
eyes of the voting population regarding the
rule of the political bosses. For years past
John Kelly has used tho Democratic party of
New York State as nero trading proposition
by which he could handle the spoils and pat
ronage of New York city. He is now accused
of bstraying the party in New York State be-
cause he had rather see John Kelly rule in
Gotham than Hancock in Washington. On
all sides rises the cry, "Down with political
bosses" Tie political boss, however, is man
who will not allow himself to be crushed. and
we predict that Kelly will continue to rule
with III iron hand in New York as long IS he
lives. Sharon and his satellites have ruled in
Nevada, and will continue 70 do SO IS long as
they can use the Republican party as a cats
as lever TO their financial schemes, and will
continue at their tricks for years to come.
There is just now a howl against Sharon and
every epithet that the English tongue is capa-
Bile Of framing is hurled upon him and his
frendr yet if Sharon were to return to this
State to. morrow with e good sack, he could
handle the party as he saw fit; not through
the voting portion of it, bnt through the men
who have been allowed TO run its machinery
for years past. The masses are rs blind as
bats and ns unreasoning IS pigs, and hundreds
Of men can be picked up in any town in Ne
vada " no will do any work assigned them by
the bosses on the simple promise of having
something done for them. Their cupidity is
excited by false representations and from that
mement they are owned body and soul. They
never get what is promised, and like guileless
children sucking their mothers milk take in
the sugar coated excuse that the boss gives
them to account for his failure to keep his
agreement. There is no reason in the world
why jacksss should be made to pack three
hundred pounds of wood seventeen miles down
the mountain side for a Chinaman who starves
him and beats him, except that nature has
provided the Moagolian with mere brains than
the ass, hence the ass is made to do the work.
On the Same principle, the boss having moro
brains than the voter, makes the voter do the
work, end We see no way exchanging this con-
dition Of affairs except by so enlishtening the
voter that he will get on en- equality with tho
boss. Each voter however go enlightened be.
comes boss himself and with moro bosses
comes more chicsnery and more oppression
The question therefore arises: Shall the mass
of voters be so educated as TO all be bosses,
or shall the bosses be SO intellectually reduced
as to be incapable Of manipulating any body7
Some one shouts kick the bosses out of the
party" All, there's the rub! They cant be
kicked out When one becomes so obnoxious
as to be obliged to retire, he simply gets be-
hind the scenes and a dummy takes his place.
1t is therefore the boss in another guise. Ii
any man can propose plan by which this con-
dtisn of affairs can be changed, We will give
him full swing in these columns

HINT TO Col. FA1R.--A Virginia City
correspondent to the San Francisco Chronicle
gives description Of the inside of Col Fairs
fight and closes in the following suggestive
style: .s-
The Republican party made q sorry record
in the last Legislature. Sharon was in bad
odor from the first, and the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company, which has always
tried TO run the party for it's own private in
terests, was the heaviest handicap of all. The
Democratic Legislature is not owned by the
crooked railroad, and promises some lively in
vestigations and reforms in the management
Of the road, and nothing but liberal shaking
of the Mills and Sharon sack will save it. 1t
is generally believed that the ulterior mo.
tive Of Fairs Senatorial fight is to crush the
monopoly, and if there 10 any attempt made
to crush adverse legislation with csin, Fair
viii SEQ the pile OF the road and raise it, to
keep his men in line and induce them to keep
their pledges to the people.
This is new idea in legislation, but prob.
ably, however, reflects the wishes of some
Democratic Assombyman who ia anxious to
be literally paid for not repudia.ing the plat.
form Oh which he was elected.

THE FORGERY EXPOSURE.

The exposure of the forgery Of the Morey
letter is blow which will stagger and daze
the Democratic party for the mex: quarter of
a century. 1t is the fouest political plot ever
concocted, as we'll as the clumsiest. The cen
scie1celess scamps who coacoc,ed the scheme
and all the aiders and abbetors of it should
spend the rest of their e1is.ance in the pene
Tertiary The voters who were led into the
scheme of casting their ballots for Hancock
whe, before the letter was published, intend
ed to vote for Garfield, must feel an unmis-
taxable cheapness as they reflect upon their
silly credulity. Tho Record Union, comment
ing ON the affair, says:
The most hamiliating circumstances in the
whole affair, however, is the fact that Califor
mans should have been SO lacking in intell-
gence, to ialsomely credulous, Is to allow
themselves to be influenced as to their votes
by fabrication which ought not to have de-
ceived child, as it was SO clumsy and mar
tistic, 80 unnatural and unreasonable.
The same language applies with equal force
to Nevada. =

Hunting Wild Hogs in Tennessee.
Cincinnati Commercial

The early settlers brought hogs with
them into Tennessee, and having little
or no food for them, suffered them stray
off among the hills to root for their own
living. The mast, which is very album
dant in these hills, consists Of hickory,
beech and chestnut, as we'll as acorns,
so that hogs, deer, and turkeys grow
fat on it in the fall and win,er. Hogs
stray off miles away from their owners,
and become wild as deer, and it requires
as much skill and cunning to ca pture
the one as the other, and in course Of
time their whole nature is entirely
changed. Instead of the fat, lazy lub-
bers as we see them on the farms, or as
a house pet in an Irish shanty, they be-
come ferocious wild beasts They grow
tall and slab-sided. Their ears stand
up straight, their hair grows long and
wiry, and, in short, they are different
animal in nature, habits, and appear
ance.
Mountain wolves are plenty in these
hills, but they seldom attempt to cap
ture a hog from the drove, knowing
they are likely to be captured them,
selves.
The people who live in the hills de-
pend almost entirely on game and wild
hogs for their supply ofmeat. The wild
hog is not fit for food in summer, but
grows fat in the late fall and early win
ter on the great abundance of mast in
these great forests. The wild hog is not
considered the property of any one SET
tier, but is looked upon as common
stock property for all who may choose
to pursue and capture him.
After hard nights rest on q blanket
before a big log fire, we are up by day.
light to find about three inches of snow
on the ground, just what we wanted.
Even the long Kentucky rifle is left
hanging in the rack in the cabin. Our
outfit consists of stout hickory club
and a butcher knife, the latter tightly
belted around his waist in a leather
scabbard. These are the only sporting
tools used for hunting wild hogs in these
hills, and they are very effective, as we
shall presently see.
Some seven or eight of us, with as
many stout dogs, set out that morning,
and after a tramp of three miles or
more we begin to discover signs of
game We now halt and hold coun-
Gil of war. Our old bushwhacker, Jack
Newland, is chosen captain of the par
ty, and the plans of the hunt chalked
out by him.

What Has Happened Since 1910.

! Lippincott's Magazine.
1t is not too much to say that no
great invention which had not its be-
ginning in the decade of 1S4O-5O. has
appeared IN the past thirty years. In
that period occurred the most signal
development of the application of
chemistry to manufactures and agri-
| culture; an enormous expansion of
commerce by means of railroads and
ocean steamships; the discovery of
either, and the perfection and diffusion
OF some of the most precious contri-
! buttons ever made to the welfare of
mankind: In 1885 only 9S4 miles of
railroad had been completed in the
United States; i'll 1910 they had been
nearly trebled (2,S1S); in 1915 they had
been nearly quadrupled (376Sl. In
1850 Boston was connected with Wor-
cester, and Baltimore with Washing
ton; from Philadelphia the traveller
could go no farther west by rail than
the Susquehanna at Columbia. In 1889

Cunard line of ocean steamers was es-

regular ship, the Britannia, reached
Boston after q trip of fourteen DAYS and
eight hours. Morse's telegraph, after
vain efforts on both sides Of the Allan

government, and in 1S44 COM

Baltimore and Washington.-"What

Morse at the capital to Alfred Veil at
Baltimore. The news dispatches to the
press ''by electro-telegrap PHI or ':by
