Ensilage is extensively used in
France .and Belgium by practical
farmers, who claim that it effects a
saving of one half in feeding stock.
This description of the process of
converting green corn fodder into
ensilage is condemned from the
Baltimore Sun: The corn fodder,
as it comes green from the field, is
cut into inch lengths by a cutter
worked by hand or horse power
1t is then emptied into an alright
pit, where it is tramped down by
the feet of men when the pit is
smallAand by horses when it is
large When the pit is full heavy
press ure is put npon it, and it is
then tightly closed. These pits
can be made any size or depth that
may be desired, but the side walls
must be very firm to resist the
pressure that will necessarily be
forced upon them. 1t is of the first
importance that rain and air be ex-
cluded. After it is filed and closed
up the pit is left untouched until
January. In the meantime the
mass has undergone a process of
and forms a semi-acid
substance with an alcoholic flavor.
The cost of these pits need not be
very large. In some places pits
have been dug, boarded at the sides
with one-and-a-half inch plank, and
1T the bottom with slabs, the whole |
cost Of which was not more than |
lbotIt $40. After becoming accus-
,omed to it, cattle prefer ensilage |
20 all other kinds Of food. 1t in
,reases the flow of milk, and the
quantity and quality of butter.
Those who have tried ensilage say
hat one acre of corn sown in drills
md cut when in tassel, will furnish
more cattle feed than three acres of
cured hay.

1t is a secret in a narrow circle OF
his friends that since he hanged
Montfort at New Orleans for pull
ing down the United States flag
from the cupola of the court house,
General Butler has cared for Mont
ports widow as though she was a
relative. The exigencies of the
cruel period of the war made the
taking of Montfort's life necessary,
but General Butler took his family
under his care, cleared off mort
gage upon the widows home, and
obtained for her a position in one
of the departments at Washington.
Some time ago she was displaced.
AS soon as he heard of it he took
the next train for Washington, and,
did not return until she was rein
stated.-New York Sun.

Speaking of the prayers for the
recovery of the president, the indie
pendent says:
"Who shall say that this law OF
prayer, which has been conspicu-
ousl y disclosed with reference to
our president, is q mere supersti-
ton +? Who, shall say that it is q
mere freak of fancy, when all men
most want to do when they are in
deepest distress? Who can affirm
that the so-called laws OF nature are
more than a match for the Almighty
LaWgiver? Who is sufficiently &C
quainted with the spirit world to
know that prayer has no power With
God? The faith OF all ages and all
religions declare that there is power
in prayer, and that the Infinite is
not so unsocial toward the finite as
to preclude the possibility Of any
access by prayer. A God to whom
prayer cannot be addressed would
hardly be God for the human
soul. Our dependence is so great
and our necessities so urgent that
if we have in thought God at all,
we must have q God to whom we
can speak. An Infinite absolute,
impassive, unconscious, without
will or thought, with no ear for the
cry of distress, with no heart for
human woe, with no hand of relief,
is not the sort of God the soul
wants If there be any truth in
human nature God is no such
God"
Prayer is the earnest wish of the
soul, and is, as the Independent
says, the natural resort of the heart |
ourdened and troubled. And
whether it be ef1cacious or not, it is |
| sOlace which it would be cruel to |
from perplexed aud sor-
owing man, filled with an inevitable
ongiDg to go elsewhere than to
lelpless humanity for aid and com
ort. Doubling, as many do,
'hether appeals to the Supreme
Being can in any case change the
atursl course of events or stay an
calamity, there is yet
God deal of faith in the assurance
hat
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot heal.

Gen. Taylor was made ridiculous
for a time by the sentence which
occurred near the beginning Of his
message in the thirty-first congress,
December, 1S49, as follows: "We
are at peace with all the world, and
seek to maintain our cherished re-
lations of amity with the rest of
mankind" But Mr.. Buchanan al
most matched it in a speech which
he made at the South, in which he
said: 81 do believe, gentleman,
that mankind, as well as the people
of the United States, are interested
in the preservation of this Union;"
and John G. Calhoun in comment
ing upon the clause in the Declare
rion of Independence to the effect
that all men are created equal, re-
marked that ''only two men we're
created, and one of these was a
woman"

The death of the president over
the prayers OF millions of people
has brought out many curious the
cries on the subj ct of prayer and
has upset the faith of n few. The
prayers for the president were all
answered nightly. His body
sleeps at Fair View, but he lives in
the great and good effects that his
life and death had upon our coun-
try and people, so that, in reality
the better part OF his life was spared,
and in taking his physical life the
life that was born of his death WAS
given a power for good it could not
have had otherwise. God yielded
to the portunilies of Isreal and
Saul was anointed king, although
He knew it was not for the peoples
good. Perhaps il our people had
deserved punishment like Israel ~
our prayers might have. been an
swered. Can we not then take it as
an expression of divine approval OF
our moral status as a people that
He refused to grant a request that
might have been detrimental, and
in that refusal conferred a blessing
that Is inestimable?

Re Knew When to Quit.

Stock spectators know that the
chances of their being ultimately
ruined are as ten to one. But the
possibility of making money by
lucky ventures appeals to their gam
bling instinct, and they go on spec

stop at the right time. But few
find the right time, unless, it sounds
loudly, as in the followingIcase:

Guiteau's Latest Explanation,

Guiteau's Latest Explanation.
Guiteau has made a new explana-
ton of his attack upon President
Garfield. He explains that he was
grossly insulted by the President.
These are in substance the circum-
stances: He (Guiteau) sneaked in
to the Presidents office at the
White House one day at a time
while several members of the Cabi
net and one or two.o other gentlemen
were there, aud, being an unbidden
and unwelcome visitor, he was ejec-
ted from the room by order of the
President. This treatment, Guiteau
says, ranked in his breast and
boiled in his blood. "The Pfesi-
dent had no right to insult me in
that way" While being elected he
resolved upon revenge, and iniic-
ton of some serious bodily injury
on the President.

John Sheppard, an intideI OF
Orion, Neb., built a platform along
side a Methodist camp meeting
ground, and made daily speeches
against the doctrines preached by
the Methodist ministers. He was a
great annoyance to the Christians,
and they tried hard to convert him,
but all in vain. One day an impul-
sive clergyman prayed that if Shep-
pard could be silenced in no other
way he might be removed by death.
That evening the infidel died very
suddenly, and it would be difficult
