No matter what the quantity of ensiage
may be at a feeding, bear in mind that eight
in every ten pounds of pure ensilage is water,
and but two pounds of it is nutritive food.
Cows must have an enormous stomach TO take
in, digest, and void of in excrement and urine
such quantity of food in cold weather. Still,
let that go for what it is worth Compare the
above with sweet, well cured winter rye, oats,
orchard grass, red clover, millet or Hunga-
rian, peas, and well-cured cornstalks, (all cut
in blossom, mind you); all these, let it be
promised, are well stored in the barn, fresh
and fragrant as they come from the bay or
NOW, run through the cutting machine, we'll
spread in a capacious box, sprinkled through
with meal of whatever kind may be used,
moistened with sufficient water, and piled up
for "a hours, more or less, as may be neces-
sary to thoroughly incorporate the mass. Is
not this latter forage quite equal to the ensil-
age, without the hurried labor, in summer
more expensive by 90 per cent. than in win
teri The cows milk may not be quite so
much in quantity as that produced from en-
silage, but, in my opinion, much better in
quality. Roots did not speak of, as do not
use them.
From what read in the papers, many sios
will be built the present season. hope they
will all be successful, but for myself, although
wanting every appendage for the best and
most economical mode of feeding dairy COWS,
am content to await the toell. established re-
suit of the silo plan before embarking in
what consider still undecided problem.

SOME FIGURING FROM COST.

The sophistry of big ensilage figures can
not be better seen than by like sophistry.
published the figures of cost for field of corn
of sixteen acres, averaging 20 bushels of she'll
ed CORR and four tons of slower per acre, cost
ing 1886. Call the corn 80 cents per bush
Ell, then the slower cost 81. sc per ton. Now
can establish to the satisfaction of DIR. Bal
ley, or any one else, that can keep an ami
NAL of the weight of "Rossmore" on 20 to 20
pounds of such slower, or on 1S pounds of
oat straw, costing no more per ton for straw
than the corn-fodder, with the same success
that he did 'Rossmore." Cost of 235 pounds
corn-fodder, 81 cents per day of straw, 2.55
cents per day. Doesn't this beat ensilage |?
But, again, this acre would have wintered two
steers and made five pigs, weighing 2ls pounds
each, live weight These facts 1 base upon
farm experiments. Buy grain, as by the en-
silage process, andthe result would be doubled
Now, gentlemen, let us all rush crazy into
corn-growing by the good old method-that
is, dry against green food, concentrated against
watery food. However, we will concede a
modest place for silos. Excepting for human
food, or barring wheat, the corn crop is the
grandest crop with which man is blest.

We give portion of reply to DIR. Bailey,
by Prof. ]. w. Sanborn of the New Hamp-
shire college farm:
DRY VERSUS GREEN FODDER.
DR.. Bailey Furthermore makes the point
that it is of no use for me to compare the an
alysis of green food with that of dry, ETC.
Very good. But the point made was that
the Germans have taken given amount of
green food and fed it, and also they have TAX
en- the same amount of green food, and dried
it, and then fed it; and that the animals re-
port the dry food as efficacious as the green.
Does he want to go behind these animals in
their report? 1t may be that these beasts
have taken scientific view of the question.
If so, they of course will be readily brushed
away in his easy contempt for science.

Truly Heartrending,

Mr.. G. Wizard, who has Just returned
from O'Neill City, informs us that the
two Biglow brothers, who resided in
town for while this spring before 60
ing to their homesteads near Atchison,
Holt County, were buried ina well at
that place on the 2Sth ult, by the cav
ing in of the quicksand through which
the well had been sunk, the curling
not being of sufficient strength to resist
the pressure.
Although one was severely injured
by the timbers he survived until the
Saturday morning following, and the
other, who was not injured, lived until
that evening, when his strength was
exhausted and death released him
from misery. Although twenty-eight
feet from the surface of the ground,
they could make themselves heard
and gave directions regarding the dis
posal Of their property, advising their
wives, who were sisters, to 60 back to
their old home East, where they would
be happier and more comfortable.
There were more rescuers than could
work at one time, and frequent chang
es of hands were made, all being done
that mortal could do, but Of no avail,
the brothers being fully aware that help
could not reach them in time. They
died calmly and manfully, taking their
fate as true men do. They were ex-
humed on Sunday and buried. TIKI

The Presidents Joke,

The origin Of one of the reports that
the president has been delirious is in
teresting, and in less serious case
would present q very ludicrous side.
After several of the surgeons and chief
attendants had denied the report that
the president had been delirious. they
we're surprised that DR., Boynton was
publicly quoted as authority for the
statement that during Thursday night
last he had been out of his head. In
curry developed curious grounds for
this belief, which, to be fully under
stood. requires preliminary state
ment:
During the present campaign GER
tain republican in florida was very i'm
Fortunate about securing money for
use in the state campaign. He urged
it strongly and repeatedly here by let
ter and telegraph, and insisted that the
importance of the subject should be
presented at Mentor. His letters were
sent there. Finally he began to tele-
graph about twice week: "Do you
intend to abandon the contest in Flor
ldaW "Do you think it worth while to
G; the struggle in Florida Y'
ms last expression at length became a
by-word between the president and
some of his friends, and was frequently
applied in joke after they reached the
white house.

"The Indians on the Missouri river,

The remark Of the president with ,ha

ceal the startling degree of the delirum,
was given out as showing that the pres
lueht was growing tired of the long
struggle, and thus pathetically express,
ed 1t to DR.. Boynton, and this view of
the case has formed the basis CT many
sympathetic paragraphs. DR.. Boyton,
later IN the day was relating his night
experience to some of the attendants,
who understood the meaning of the
phrase, continuing the struggle in
Florida" and he was surprised at the
SOLID amusement it seemed to afford,
when explained to him he was greatly
relieved, and enjoyed the story He
said If the president had not attached
Florida to his inquiry he should not
nave been concerned about his mind;
out with that addition it seemed like
clear proof of badly disordered mind.
But DR.. Boynton apparently had excel

however, takes away all the support

A Little Mixed.

Some confusion has been caused ir
the public mind at Washington by the
existence of two organizations, both O.
which profess to have charge of the
arrangements for the Yorktown Cen
tennial celebration. One of these is
the Yorktown Congressional Commits
sion and the other the Yorktown Cen
tennial Association. Both have issued
programmes. The celebration as or
gained by the Congressional Commits
sion begins Oct. IS and continues four
days. The association has promulga.
ted an elaborate plan for a celebration
to begin on the 18th of October and
close on the 18th. The Yorktown
Congressional Commission is a BODY
organized by law of Congress, compos.
ed of one Senator and one Representa-
tive from each of the original thirteen
States. This body has been charged
by Congress with the expenditure OF
the 100000 appropriated by Congress
in pursuance ola resolution adopted
in the year 1871. The Yorktown As
ISOLATION: of which Colonel Peyton is
Secretary, is an independent organiza-
ton, which claims the honor of having
nursed the Yorktown "boom," applied
itself to the work Of getting subscript-
ions to defray the expenses few
months ago, and raised about $4,000,
with which the association purchased
the Temple farm, whereon it was pro-
posed to hold the celebration. When
the Congressional Commission went
down to Yorktown they had a confer
ence with the representative of the
association. No very satisfactory con-
clusion being reached, site for the
monument was selected, mile away
from the Temple farm. The outcome
is watched with some interest. The
Yorktown association is in correspond
ence with French officials as we'll as
distinguished persons in all parts of the
world arranging for Il grand celebration.
The celebration under the auspices of
the National Congress will undoubtedly
be a success, as the whole enginery of
the government will contribute to it.
arrangements are being
soberly made by both parties as if the
people were going to celebrate two
centennials and the exploits and deeds
Of the heroes at Yorktown at two places
! mile apart at the same time.
