dition to the fact that the FODDER thus
preserved has no tendency to scour or
bloat cattle. another important advan-
tage is gained by this process.
These fodder crops may be allowed
to attain much larger and more sub
stantial growth before cutting than is
practicable when the same crops are fed
fresh from the field. Dnring my alb
sence from home during the simmer of
1879 my foreman had inadvertently
allowed a field Of about four acres Of
pearl millct to attain 80 large and hard
a growth that my cows wholly rejected
the stalks, and would cat only the leaves
when the millet was offered them green.
BY way Of experiment, and without
much confidence in the result, / cut
about onc.fourth OF the field and filed
one Of my pits with it. The remainder
of the field was cured by drying in
shocks in the ordinary way. This last
was found 80 nearly worthless for feed
ing dry that it was used for litter in the
banyards and for covering ice. That
preserved in the pit was opened and
fed in April last My cows ate it all,
leaf and stalk, eagerly, without any
loss or waste, and it was fully equal in
value to the same quantity of the best
corn fodder preserved in the pits.
have this summer filled one pit with
fodder corn, after the stalks had at
tanned full growth and the ears were
well formed. OF this corn, when fed
green, my cows rejected fully onc.half
the stalks. have no doubt this corn
fodder, when fed from the pit neat
winter or spring, will bc found as yalu-
able as any corn fodder in my pits and
be eaten up eagerly and entirely clean.
Great economy may be found in allow.
ing fodder corn and other fodder crops
to attain heavy growth and then cut
ting them all at once. instead Of
cutting and feeding them piece
meal in tho mode usually praciiced.
The process Of preserving fodder in
pits is exceedingly simple aud easily
practiccd. The conditions Of success
are these First, the preserving pits
must hc wholly air-tight, so that when
sealed the air cannot come in contact
with the food preserved. Second, the
pits should be OF such form and dimen-
Hons as will bcs, facilitate the settling
and compactiEg Of the food in a solid
mass, and when opened for feeding will
expose as small part OF the surface 20
the atmosphere as practicable. Third,
tho fodder must be cut green when in
the best condition, or in bloom, passed
Immediately through the cutting ma
chine 10 reduce il 20 uniform short
lengths Of not more than one inch, and
at once be deposited and trod firmly
into the Fit, sufficient salt being used
to render it pala,able, but no more. As
fermentation which will commence at
once proceeds and tho mass settles,
the cutting and treaiing in Of fresh iol.
der must bc continued a; intervals Of
from thirty-siE to forty-cight hours de
pending upon the rapidity with which
fermentation and settling proceedl
until settling has ceased and no more
can be trod into the pit. Fourth, the
pit as soon as completely filled and set
ting has ceased, must be securely sealed
to exclude the air wholly and arrcs, fer.
mentation. and must be kept so sealed
until opened for use.

-prouting Roots.

This, says an exchange, is usually a
sign OF an unhealthy tree. The common
method of getting rid Of sprouts is TO
chop them off with a hatchet or spade.
This only increases the trouble. A stub
OF more or less length is left standing,
and this in time throws up three or
four sprouts to one cut of. A second
trimming has only the same effect il
carelessly done. The proper way is to
remove the soil below where the sprouts
start then with a sharp knife or chisel
carefully remove the sprout, taking care
not to bruisc any OF the adjacent bark
Then fill in the soil, and in most cases
there will be no necessity for second
trial. Sprouts are caused by latent
buds or abraded bark, and usually in
dicatc n diseased condition Of the stem.
After attaining my considerable size
very few trees throw up sprouts from
their base.

To the honor of the Catholic church,
says the Chicago Inter- Ocean, it is stated
that none Of it's members have ever been
converted to Mormonism. The converts
usually are among tho ignorant foreign
classes, who find the comforts of life in
Utah 10 superior to their hard lots pre-
viously that they accept them as heaven
sent. American women do not take to
Mormonism. The blow that strikes down
the iniquity will fall upon q class as ig-
norant and nearly as destitute of all
moral guidance as any like number Of
people in any civilized society upon the
globe. Mr.. Nye, in o recent letter, de.
olares that "there is not a gravel train
upon the Union Pacific railroad that does
not contain more intellect than can be
found among the elders and rulers OF the
Mormon church"
