Durability Of Ensilage.

From an article recently published by
DIR. Werner, leading authority on the
subject of folders, itappears that ensilage
has been kept for term Of six years in a
state of excellent preservation, at the farm
OF the agricultural school at Altenburg in
Hungary. Cattle ate the product read
lily in spite of its age. 1t had been pre-
pared from fodder corn according to the
common Hungarian method, that is to say
the corn was allowed to wilt somewhat
after moving, and was then trodden firmly
into great trenches six or seven feet deep
by twelve feet, or more, wide, and OF any
desired length When the trench has been
filled to the brim, the fodder is piled up,
above ground, browning like roof, often
to hight of nine or ten feet. The heap
is then covered with earth, and when the
fermentation has gone far enough so that
the mass sinks upon itself, pains are then
taken to fill up or beat together, as often
as may be necessary, any cracks that may
form in the covering of earth Werner
remarks that the upper layers of this en-
siage had the color and the agreeable odor
of brown-hay (Braunhen), while the lower
layers exhibited the characters Of sour
fodder more and more clearly the deeper
they were. This capital observation on
the durability of ensilage is all the more
for us Americans since the
climate, with its hot summers,
is in some respects not unlike our own.

one afonr city contemporaries has been
eaergeiieaily advocating broad tire wagon
wheels as means u saving the pave
Iaonts II urges the passage of an orii.
dance compelling the nsc Of hrcsi Tires on
all wagons iniepdcd 10 carry a ton or more
IN weight, claiming that il wouid save 10
tho city thousands Of dollars every year.
II such a policy Is demanded in the
city. Il is much m0n 50 in the country
where the soft dirt roals arr cut up aud
rendered alinos, impossible 10 soft weather
Broad tires would not only prevent cut
tag up. but would actually mako the
roads better by acting AS roller, oom-
pressing the earth aud making il firmer,
Chicago papers have been urging this re.
form for several years past, on the grounds
Of absolute necessity in fiat prairie
country where grsyelipg and turnpiking
will long remain impossihilities on account
Of the expense, aud where IL is impossible
To construct a firm road bed with the ma
terial at hand.
QBut still the reform makes slow pro-
gress, and this in the face OF the fact that
there is not a single objection 10 be urged
against broad tires, save. perhaps, the
locks. Every argument is in favor OF them
for the country. They are more econom-
zeal On this point our contemporary r-
ierred TO says;
ut has been proved by figures again
and again that with narrow tires, wagon
carrying loads Of two tons costs nearly or
quite one hundred dollars year for re-
pairs, while with wide tires, carrying three
ions, its wear and tear costs but ten dol.
lars year. Narrow tired wagons have a
life of less than two years. broad tired
life of three to four years. Hauling over
lawns, meadows, soft or plowed grounds,
the advantage of the broad tire is simply
beyond estimate. A practical man and
sawmill owner away out west, writing on
this subject says: Last year we bought
sets Of new broad tire wheels and put on
old wagons to haul our lumber over the
three miles of sandy road lying between
our mill and the wharf: The result was
that one team took nine hundred feet Of
green lumber instead OF six hundred, and
just as easy, and kept the road in such good
condition that the repairs cost us almost
nothing. The saving on each wagon was
SLIPS per month, which soon paid for the
wheels. The use of broad tires in cities,
| need not speak Of ! would agree to
furnish all the wagons for any city free OF
cost, if could be guaranteed the amount
OF money saved in repairing the streets,
and / would pay round sum for the mo-
nopoly ~ Ohio Farmer.

DMsEs AND THIsTLEs The ox-eye daisy
is Parental plant; yet,if it is not allowed
to ripen its seed, the vitality of the root is
soon exhausted and it will disappear.
Some claim that if kept closely cut it will
not survive more than two years. The
writer has cleaned roadside which was
covered with it, by repeated cuttings and
not allowing the seed to riren. Some
times the cutting was done number Of
times in season, and now only here and
there plant makes its appearance. In a
wet season like the present, docks may be
pulled up by the roots, but in a dry sea
son it will be found nearly impossible to
do so. Thistles are great nuisance, but
may be reduced, and in many cases killed
by cutting two or three times in a season.
Then il the land is heavily MANFRED, so
that heavy crop Of grass is encouraged
TO grow, they will be seriously checked, If
not entirely destroyed. No plant can long
survive constant and close cutting, as the
root soon becomes exhausted unless the
top is allowed to grow and draw nutriment
from the atmosphere, and thistles are no
exception to the rule. The great trouble
is that people make no effort to prevent
their growth, but complain OF their pres
ence and spread.

BEE.KEEpIso. A Vermont correspond.
ent asks if bee keeping is profitable bust
ness. That depends upon good many
circumstances. Some people make money
and some lose. To begin with. il is
not An even business;that is it is very sub
iect TO ups and downs. In some winters
largo quantities Of bees die without any
apparent cause; in some summers they
fail 10 store up much honey and then, Of
course, their balance IL on the wrong side;
but when they do well they cost very lit
tie and return handsome profits, A
knowledge Of the business, good hives and
care will do very much to bridge our bad
seasons. 1t costs but little to start an
apiary and We wonder there are not more
