The Chemistry OF Ensilagc.

Why is green, Succulcnt matter pre-
served from heating and rotting when
stored in "A silop This question is often
asked, but seldom is an intelligent an
swcr given. 1t is claimed that this is
elected by excluding the air on the
same principle that we save fruit by
canning it; but no person with even an
elementary knowledge of the science
of pncumatics will pretend to form u
vacuum with wood, or brick and NOR
tar, however well it may be packed
with clay. Allwriters on ensilage. from
Auguste Gohart, who invented the silo,
down to the last newspaper correspon-
dent, speak of the peculiar "vinous
Odor' of the provender when taken
from the pit, and writer in the NeC
England Farmer, while commanding
the silo, cautions people about going
into newly opened pit, from the dan
gerous accumulation of carhonic acid
that is always present Add to these
the fact that the analysis of Prof. Goes
mann shows loss of starch and sugar
in the fodder thus preserved, and we
have in all these facts the mode of pres
ervaton clearly indicated. Shortly aft
Ell being packed an incipient fermenta-
ton sets in, and the sugar in the green
fodder is decomposed, and equal equiv
alents of carbonic acid are formed. The
former, being gas, slowly escapes
through the covering of the silo, while
the alcohol combines with, or is dis.
solved in, the water present. This
gives the characteristic "vinous odor''
spoken of With this fermentation be.
gins at once the conversion of starch
into sugar; but special property OF
alcohol is to retard or entirely arrest
chemical changes in organic substances
The partial exclusion OF the air, the low
temperature, and the accommodating
quantity of alcohol finally arrest chem
ical action till the forage is exposed t,
the air and higher temperature, whel
the acetic fermentation begins and tn,
alcohol is rapidly converted into vine
gar and the whole is soon mass of de

Chicken Cholera.

1t is highly probable that cholera in
fowls originates by contagion and is in
troduced into flocks either by newly
acquired infected fowls, by infected
manure or feathers, or sometimes by
the bodies of dead birds brought into,
or near the poultry yard by dogs or 9th
or animals. In most cases the disease
can be traced to the first mentioned
source. As the virus remains in fixed
form il is not probable that the disease
germs are taken into the body with food
and other matter which has been con-
taminated.
Preventive measures, in this disease
as, indeed, in most others when the
causes and mode of propagation are
known, are the safest resort. Where a
flock of fowls is already infected, the
first and most reliable symptom is the
celebration of the kidney excretion which
is voided by fowls with the offal This,
in health, is readily distinguished by its
white appearance, but when the fowl is
attacked by cholera this kidney eXcre-
ment changes its color from white to
pale, and then to deep yellow, and in
extreme cases it becomes green. At
about this stage an obstinate diarrhna
sets in. This symptom being discover
ed, the infected fowls should be at once
killed, care being taken that no blood
is left where the other fowls may get at
it, and the bodies should be buried.
The healthy birds should be removed to
clean piece of ground which is known
to be free from the contagion, and the
eXcrement of these fowls should be in
spected daily to ascertain their condi-
ton, and to detect the sick birds. If
the fowls can be separated into pens of
three or four such detection will be
fastened. Before placing the birds in
new quarters it is we'll to fumigate
them with sulphur, as the feathers are
apt to convey the disease.
In case fowls are introduced from 9TH
er localities where the disease has been
raging, it is good policy to "quaran-
tine" them, so to speak, for three weeks
or so until they are known to be free
from the disease. Any eggs brought
from other places for Matching should
be attached to them, and manure from
infected yards should not be thrown
upon land to which healthy fowls have
access. BY observing these precautions
the disease may be excluded or EXTERN
mated. Cures have been effected by
feeding cooked meal, red pepper, gun
powder and turpentine mixed together;
also by placing water in which bi-sul-
phate of soda, in proportion of an ounce
to a gallon, has been dissolved, where
the fowls can drink it.-RltrdL Neu

BILE matter in a silo. The sugar and
starch, which we're converted into car
bonio acid and alcohol, were important
food elements, and il is not probable
that any one at all acquainted with ami
NAL physiology will contend that these
resultant compounds can supply their
place as food. E
IL is claimed that dairy cows fed on
cnsilage give an increased quantity of
milk. and stalled animals fatten on it
rapidly. Both of these claims are prob
ably founded in fact. That dilute alco-
hol as in beer, has the property of in.
creasing the secretion of milk has been
long known, but while the quantity is
increased the quality is correspondingly
impaired. II is but few wears since it
was claimed that the Stops from q dis
tillery possessed rs much fattening
power as did the corn before II was
distilled; and the claim was sustained
by practical tests. But the pork pack
ers soon dissipated this illusion by dis
carding still-fed pork as an unhealthy
product. Fat, butter and cheese pro
duced under the influence of alcohol,
whether fed in still Stops or ensilage,
are not normal products. They are re-
suits of nm effort TO dispose of waste
material that in normal or healthy con-
dition should have been consumed by
respiration. II is also claimed that this
alcoholic fermentation renders the food
more digestible. But digestion is chem
ical change, and does that which re-
tards change in the silo promote it in
the stomach P-IlIdid1d Farmer.

Speech Restored by Electricity.

Patrick Halloran, a city eXpresSman,
presented himself at the Dispensary
yesterday morning, complaining of Il
choking sensation in his throat. He
could not speak above a whisper, and
seemed quite depressed at his loss of
voice. DR.. =. III. Cronin, in charge of
the lung and throat department, dag
nosed the case as vocal paralysis, tech
nically called paralysis of the central
abductor. The patient was directed to
sit with his back to the open door, and
in n few moments the doctor had put in
position large office battery and placed
the sponge of one conductor in the right
hand of the sufferer, attaching the other
to an instrument with an electric switch,
by means of which he introduced min
ute sponge to the internal and posterior
portion of the larYnX or Adams apple.
Once in position the doctor lightly
touched the spring at the side of the in
strument, the patient gave one veil as
the electric shock was given, when the
doctor closed the current and listened
to the now loud-voiced patient as he
fervently thanked him for his good
work.
The doctor says that the case he had
just witnessed was not an unusual one
among singers and public speakers, who
at times would become completely
hoarse from over-use of the voice; but
in the present instance it was the result
of chronic bronchial catarrh coupled
with fresh cold, and if neglected might
have led to permanent vocal impair
ment, for cases of over two year stand
ing could seldom be cured ST. Louis

The Fly-A Bald. Headed Mans Expe-
rlrnCPS.

Much has been said of the fly of the
period but few write about him who are
bald-headed.
Hence we say word. 1t is of no use
any more to deny the horrible truth.
Although as beautiful as peri in other
ways, our tresscs on top have sue
cumbed TO the inclemency of the
weather, and our massive brow is slow
ly creeping over toward the back of our
neck. Nature makes all things even.
If a man be possessed of such ravishing
beauty and such winning ways that his
power might become dangerous, she
makes him bald-headed.
That is our fix.
When we have our hat on ard go
chaSseing down the street with that
camel glide OF ours, everyone asks who
that noble-looking Apollo with the deep
and melancholy eye is; but when we
are at the Office with our hat hung up
on the French walnut side board, and
the sun comes softly in through the
rosewood shutters and lights up the
shellac polish on our intellectual dome,
we are not so pretty.
Then it is that the fly, with gentle
tread and seductive song. comes and
prospects around on our bump of self
esteem, and tickles us and makes us
mad.
When we get where forbearance
ceases to be a virtue, we haul of and
slap the place where he was, while he
goes over to the inkstand and smokers
at us. After he has waded around in
the carmine ink awhile he goes back to
the bump of spirituality and makes
some red marks over it
Having laid OF his claim under the
new mining law, he proceeds to siuk
on it.
If we write anything bitter these
days; if we say aught of our fellow
man that is disagreeable OF unjust, and
for which we afterward get licked, it is
because at times we get eXasperated
and are not responsible.
If the fly were large and weighed two
hundred pounds, and came in here and
told us that if we didn't take back what
we had said about him he would knock
out the window with our remains and
let us fall hundred feet into the busy
street it wouldn't worry us so much,
because then we could strangle him
with one hand while we wrote column
editorial with the other. We do that
frequently. But little fragile insect,
with no home and no parents, and only
four or five million brothers and sisters,
gains our confidence and then tickles
our scalp till we have to write with a
sheet of tar roofing over our head.
III the fly could be removed from our
pathway we would march along in our
journey to the tomb in II way that
would be the envy and admiration of
the civilized world. AS it is, we feel
that we are not making a very hand
some record. Bill Nye'S Boomerang.

Cat With Fly-Paper Attachment.

An uptown lady is the owner of cat
who loves to jump after flies. This
lady, wishing to rid herself of some
flies, purchased several sheets of sticky
fy-paper, and on Saturday morning
placed one of them on the writing desk
in the dining groom and went about her
work. Soon she heard a remarkable
noise, and the next instant the cat
went through the room with such speed
that it could only be likened to eat
being shot from a cannon. 1t was
nothing but dull, gray streak. In the
rear, attached to one of its hind feet,
followed the sheet of fy-paper. TRe
ever seen. She took in every room,
staircase and hallway in the house, and
went through them all at the same gait,
except increasing it slightly in going
down stairs, owing to the fact that she
didn't stop to count the steps, and
wherever she went the fly-paper fol-
lowed like grim fate, and the cat would
likely still be "scooting' through the
house like a veritable specter had not
its owner, in attempting to shut one OF
the doors so as to narrow the scene of
operations, caught the paper fast. As
it tore loose from the hind foot of the
cat she gave an awful yowl and disap-
! peared under the ice-boX, not returning
to her usual serenity until several hours
after. Since that time, when she sees
bit of hy-paper, with wonderful sa-
! gacity, learned by experience, she
makes tracks with the speed of coyote
to some other part of the house, and
when fly audaciously buzzes in close
proximity to her nose she merely looks
at the insect with an injured air, as
much as to say: Eyes; you take me for
a cussed fool now, dont you"

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

President Huntington, OF the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, intends to rebuild
the Congregational Church at his birth
place, Harwinton, Conn.
Mr. George ii. Babcock, of Plain
field, N. j., has just given SlO,O 900 to
Wilson College, at Wilson, Wis, and
also promised to give $4,000 more if
the alumni raise an equal amount.
Maj. ID. w. Whittle, after a year 8
successful evangelistic work in Great
Britain, has returned home to Chicago,
where he will remain for the present,
assisting in the Gospel work of the Y.
NJ. G. A. In some places abroad his
meetings have equaled in interest and
results those held by Moody and Sankey.
The wealthy Jewish synagogue of
New York, of which DR.. Kohler is
rabbi, has decided to hold regular serv-
ices hereafter on Sunday The congre-
cation was equally divided on the sub
ject. The change was brought about
by members who desired to do business
on Saturday.
The northwestern provinces of
India have made astonishing progress
in free education. There is hardly a
village without its Government school,
wherein are taught reading, writing,
arithmetic, the geography and history
of India, and in the higher classes u
little Euclid. These schools are gov
erned by local committees, made up of
Europeans and native gentlemen.
The Rev. Paxdor Hood, one of the
most famous of the Independent preach
erS of England, is coming to this coun-
try. In letter to friend this side the
water he says: II am going and not
knowing whittier go. am going out
like Abraham, but even at sixty years
of age | am not uncheerful. l have
often been invited to 90 TO America;
my purpose now is to go unlimited"
The st. Louis Christian AdUocate
forcibly remarks: 1--WE have watched
such things for long time, and
watched closely, yet do not remember
to have ever seen really prosperous
church where the prayer-meetings were
not well attended, nor yet where the
brethren were given to long hymns,
drawled rather than sung, and long
prayers, in which the same things were
substantially repeated again and again"
President Seelye, of Amherst Col
lege, presided at the recent convention
of the American Home Missionary So
ciety at Chicago. The society was or
ganized iitty-iive years ago. The num-
Der of its missionaries has increased
from l69 to 1852, and its income from
$4,000 to $290.9j3. Its missionary
congregations and stations have in
creased in number from 1876 to 1858. 1t
has collected and expended more than
$4,000, 900 and has organized or aided
in sustaining about 4, $50 churches. OF
the amount collected So, 900 came
from New England, S2,073,000 from
the Middle States, 81, 032, 900 from the
Interior and Northwest, and consid-
cradle sum from missionaries in foreign
lands. A committee of fifteen was APP
pointed to take into consideration the
"whole work and welfare of the So
ciety."

The Influential Woman.

We generally picture her as a leader
of fashion, stately and beautiful, the
center of hcl coterie. Her moral quail
tiles are not considered at all; and that
is where we err. When the rich woman
can show to the world only life of
fashion and idleness, she is deserving of
open censure and disgrace, so long as
there are hungry bodies, minds or souls,
crying for some of her abundance. To
whom much is given much is required.
Let public opinion mete out its wrath
OF censure upon the fashionable, idle
woman who is a disgrace to her sex be-
cause of her aimless, useless life. Let
the expression "best society" mean
those who do good deeds, who leave
the world happier and better for hav-
ing lived; instead of those who have
been most idle and aimless. The lin
iiuential women" of every community
are those who are doing and daring,
that the world'may be made purer and
better, whether they are fashionable or
questionable it matters not

SO-Called Sweeny.

The vulgar term sweeny is applied to
a real or imaginary Wasting of the mus
Giles of the eXtremities, and mostly re-
ferred to as being located in the
shoulder or about the crupper. 1t is
commonly regarded rs a special evil,
and all sorts of cruel practices and nos
trums are resorted to for its cure. The
cause or causes of generally negative
result of the treatment applied is simply
this, that sweeny, or, more properly
speaking, wasting or atrophy of the
muscles of the horses limb, is, in the
plurality of eases, merely one of the re-
suits of chronic disease of some part of
the Limb, such as painful corn, navic-
ular disease, and contracted feet, or
ringbone, SPAWN, etc. If cure of
these ailments is possible, the So-called
swoeny will either gradually disappear
in the course of time, or will yield to
treatment; otherwise, the cure of
sweeny will prove failure. In young
horses, sweeny, or wasting of the mus
Giles of the shoulder, is often cOnse-
quence of unsteady pulling with an ill
| fitting collar. In such a case, relieve
the animal from work, and apply, fol
some time, once or twice day, u por-
ton of equal parts of tincture of can
tharides and oil of turpentine The
contents of the bottle should be shaker
while applying the same. Liberty out
doors, on pasture, will be of additional
benefit, Subsequently, give only light
work in breast harness, or in II soft
padded, well-titting collar, until the an
imal becomes used to pulling. -Ndttona
