Winter Feeding.

The subject of preserving green material
for winter feeding is attracting great deal
of attention throughout rhe country, al
though the Eastern stockraisers at present
seem TO lead in the agitation. In that sec
ton Of the country where pastures are nee
essarily small, and worne out from contin-
ual use, it has become matter of vital i'm
portance to preserve food for use during the
winter months, thus escaping the high prices
which rule for corn and other grain. The
matter has been for years source of study,
and the inventive genius of the enterprising
stock-men of that section has at last resulted
in the "silo," an arrangement that fills every
requisite of a press and preserving-bin for
green materials. Ensilage thus cared for,
places feeders in the older portions OF the
country in a position to successfully COM
pete with Western beef producers 1t is
claimed that bv useing this process of pre-
serving food it is possible to fatten cattle TO
as good advantage as when feed in the open
field and uDon growing grasses. 1t will be
many years before ''silos" will meet with
anything approaching general favor in the
West, where facilities for grazing are we'll
neigh exhaustless; but as the country be-
comes settled and pasture farms become too
valuable for that exclusive purpose, any in
vention that will preserve feed must in the
nature of things become popular and OF gen.
eral usefulness. In the States of Illinois,
Indiana, and Ohio particularly, there are
localities where the question of ensilage
must become an interesting one. In these
sections, cattle-feeders are being cramped
even now for room, and the markets afford
ing such inducements to sell every descrip-
ton of cereal which they may raise, the inn
portance of preserving corn-stalks and all
kinds of grasses in green state cannot be
over-estimated. "There's millions in it"
\ r. al 4l,osx s,,fa aofc in
taking advantage of an idea that guarantees
them cheap feed, and the consequent in
crease of profit which must naturally follow

Floors for Horse Stables.


The Germantown Telegraph says: "The
long debated question as to the best mater
ial for stable floors is being again revived.
A clay floor was adhered to by some for
years, and such was the earnestness OF its ad-
Vocates and the arguments brought to bear
upon it, that we were induced some twenty
years ago to try it. In three or four months
we had the planks back again, being satisfied
Of the disadvantage of clay for this pur-
pose. Our present floor of plank is simply
inclined little from front to rear, where
the usual gutter is made to carry off the
liquid weddings. We do not believe in sand.
coal ashes, sawdust, asphaltum, faggs, COB
blestones or any of these modern devices to
injure horses. Thus far we have never no.
ticed that this little inclination was in any
way Injurious; and we doubt whether the
wooden grating that we frequently see plac-
ed over the planking that some use, would
be advisable, on the ground that the animal
would be no more comfortable, while this
movable grating or second floor might lead
to accidents. When person can keep
horses in good, sound, healthy condition from
five to seven years, as we have done on a
carefully constructed plank flooring inclin-
ing little to the rear, it is just as well to
be satisfied with it. Do what one will, holes
will be dug by the stamping Of the feet in
the clay, and these will be filed with moist
ure, which will necessarily result In scratch
es, water-crack, ect. If the clay is levelled
off and beaten down daily it will make no
difference. Some time ago we inspected
number of stables where many horses were
kept, and we encountered only one which
was composed of anything but wood. OF
course there will be new things-inyentions
-springing up, which are to meet and over
come every objection, and there will be some
10 adopt them, but we shall be satisfied with
what we have until there is something pro-
duced without which there is no mistake

McSIiunvilie New Era.
We give place to the strong personal
reference made by the Manchester
Guardian to the conduct Of some one
of the twelve Chaucellors Of our State.
In order to exhonerate all the others
from such an outrage as that complain
ed of the Guardian should have given
the name of the offender-a "prOmi-
nent Tennessee Chancellor" is very
indefinite, and casts Il suspicion up
on the whole twelve. The Guardian
Slys;
Eve are informed-and We publish
the information with sincere personal
regret-that q prominent Tennessee
Chancellor, distinguished throughout
the State for his great learning and
ability, was seen upon the streets of q
sister town not long ago in state Of
beastly intoxication making night, Il
not day, hideous with drunken shouts
and yells, accompanied by the use OF
the vilest and most prOf.'ne language
And that, too, in the hearing Of REIN
ed women and innocent children. Oh!
it is shameful, shameful, and ought to
arouse-if anything viii ever arouse
the attention of thinking men to the
iniqaitous traffic and the direful conse-
quences following upon it."
The offence complained of by the
Guardian is not only one against de-
cency and morals, but also against the
laws and subject to impeachment. The
courts are open to the Guardian, and
if the charges made are true, public
opinion will sustain the action. Our
neighbor, however, should be exceed
ingly cautious and confident Of its
truth (Which We suppose he has BEEN

The Women OF the South.

1t. Isuis Republican
The question is, not whether NO
men in the South shall be made to
work, but whether they shall be allow
ed to work. There is no compulsion
about it. Southern women are not
averse to labor any further than the
traditions aud Practices of the past
make them so. The bereavements and
misfUrtunes of the war have produced
all over the South shining examples of
women who, by their intelligence, in
dustry and enterprise, have rescued
themselves and their families from pow
erty and dependence, and become con-
spicuous in quiet way in the task 81
founding a new economy for their sec
ton; and when the false old idea that
women ought not to be permitted tc
work for their living shall be com
pletely abandoned, the South, while
producing a race Of women no less
noble and virtuous than their mothers
and grandmothers, will brighten with
the increased wealth ard comfort pro-
duced by these women's hands.

A Connecticut Romance.

An inside chapter Of the fashionable
Skinner-ROberts wedding here is Of in
terest, as showing that worth is some
times valued equally with wealth In this
Gland of steady hnbits" The bride,
Miss Florence @. Roberts, is the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Ebenezer Roberts, a wealthy
merchant, whose fortune is estimated at
half million or better. She was q pet
child, had everything that wealth could
command, and was a belle of the place.
Dfr. Skinner was a student at Trinity
College, where he first made her &C
Quaintance. He was of a good family Of
Malone, n. Y, but in moderate circum-
stances only. That he would ever aspire
to the hand of Miss Roberts would at
the time, have been secuted rs impossi-
bic. He was q young man of real worth
and sterling integrity. These qualities
were noted by the lady, and her fnther
showed toward him very friendly feel
ings. After his graduation no went to
the mining regions of the West in search
of fortune, but, like many other young
men, made a failure During his alb
sence he maintained q correspondence
with Miss Roberts, and finally proposed
He was accepted, and Mr.. Roberts, in
stead OF interpreting any objections, was
governed by his own judgment and the
wishes of his daughter, and gave his con
sent. Further than that, he wrote to
young Skinner to come to Hartford, and
gave him q position with tho wealthy
firm Of Keney 81 Roberta
The wedding followed within n few
months, aud Mr. Roberts gave the young
couple splendid start in life. He could
not well take an inexperienced young
man into the firm, por give him salary
ont Of proportion to the subordinate po-
sition he filed, but he made liberal pro
vision otherwise. 4 residence was prF-
chased for the Young couple at q cost Of

understood that the fathers wedding gift
was a check for 800, 900, with the un-
deTstanding that the money be invested,
and the income used in afIurding a style
