Objections TO EnsiIarge.

Although ensilarge appears to be in very
general favor wherever it has been used, and
although the number of silOS erected has
been very large, still several very stiong
objections have been raised against the new
method of preserving fodder for stock. The
abOr of cutting the cOrn-stalks, or whatever
kind of negotiations used for filling the silo,
is great 1t can not be performed economic
ally by hand, OF the employment of a small
machine operated by hand-power. 1t is
necessary To have a large machine for cut
ung the fodder and steam, water, wind or
horsepower to operate it, A large cutting
machine and an engine for cutting il cost
a considerable sum. The green vegetation is
heavy to handle in the field and 10 remove
to the SilO. The fodder, as taken out of the
SilO where il has been preserved, is also very
heavy, and requires considerable work in
getting il to the stack. A cubic yard taken
from the top OF the mass weighs more than
half a ton, ana IL increases in weights as the
1s3ttom IS approached.
Some complain that the ensilarge is likely
to freeze when exposed in weather as cold as
we have recently had. and that its value is
destroyed when il becomes frozen. 1t is al 70
that few persons have been in
ured by Jumping into a silo and inhaling
|the caTbOnic acid gas which it contains, and
which is the agent Tor preserving the green
fodder. Some state that tight car is neees-
Slry for the removal of the fodder frOm the
silo to the place whtre it is eaten by stock
and to haul it with ease the wheels must run
On tn c.. Others declare that the silo
must be dug on the SIDE of a hill so that the
bottom of il shall be on level with the
floor OF the barn or stables where the stock
to be fed are kept. They believe that the
SilO can not be constructed and operated to
advantage when stock farms are located on
the fiat prairies, as the labor of lifting out
the contents will be too great. The Obiec-
tons, however, are all in respect to handling
the ensilarge. 1t it conceded that stock of
all kinds are fond of il; that they prefer it
to dry food of any description, and that they
thrive we'll while eating it.

An Experiment With Ensiiarge.


short time ago We gave description OF
the silos of Mr. George L. Clemence and DIR.
Curtis, of SOuthbridge. Mr.. Clemence
opened his about the 1st of December. 1t
was constructed of chestnut plank,
and contained about eighty tons, being par
tally filled with corn stalks, upon the top
of which was a lot OF rOwen. The stalks
were cut by horse power, but the rowen was
uncut. The whole was heavily weighted
with rocks, and upon examination the
ensilarge was found TO have settled from five
to six feet. When opened three planks were
removed from one side of the silo, and the
rowen cut out to that width and to depth
OF some two or three feet. The rowen had
lost it's green color, was very moist and
smelt like sweet steamed hay. About three
inches of the top, however, was mOully.
The cattle eat it greedily preferring it 10
the best English nay. Mr.. Clemence says
his cows have increased their flow of milk
about an eighth since he commenced feeding
ensilarge. So well satisfied is he with his
success in this trial that he intends building
one of solid masonry, capable of holding 2OJ
tons, in which he Will have partitions, so
that in the future he will not have to open
the whole silO at one time.

Rnrbed Wire Fencing.

The suits for infringements of patents for
barbed fencing wire, owned by the Wash
burn a. MOen Manufacturing Company,
which have been pending for several years,
have been decided by the United States
Court in favor of the plaintiffs. The deci-
sion fully sustains the claim OF Washburn q
MOen. While il is one of the most impOr-
tant ever given in this country Involving
millions of dollars in its results), it is also
said to be one of the ablest on the subject Of
patent law and patentable inventions ever
rendered. Briefly stated, the patents owned
by plaintiffs were those of Hunt, for "a
wheel with spurs strung on fence wire, :"
subsequently amended on its reissue TO
spurs on a wire that of Kelly for two
wires, one being twisted around the other so
as to hold the barbs in place, and that of
ilidden for a wire barb wound around the
strand wire. The decision virtually covers
he whole ground, and gives Washburn ~
