Annual Meeting of the AgricuI-
tur:lI Society.

Inc annual meeting OF the CaledO-
mia Agricultural Society was held at
the town hall on Tuesday, Jan. IL,
President A. S. Livingston in the chair
On motion a committee of two from
each town represented, was appointed
by the chair to nominate officers for
the year ensuing. The report of the
treasurer showed that the total amount
of premiums paid by the society was
$929.25.
While the meeting was waiting for
the report of the nominating commit
tee, Mr.. l. H. Hall of Lyndon was in
vited to give his experience with silos
and ensilage. This he did in a very
interesting way, remarking that his
silO had hardly been proved as yet.
He gave his manner of building and
filling a silO, also the amount fed and
its effect on his stock. 1t seems that
he made a silo last year of $50
tons capacity, at an expense of 5000
filled it with corn cut from five acres
a very heavy grOwth-and some 80
tons of rowen, all cut fine and put in
green, except on the top of the silo the
rOwen was not cut. And Mr.. Hall
thinks it would have been just as well
not to have cut any of the rowen.
When the silO was opened it was found
to be in good condition, and he is feed
ing out about 20 lbs. day per head to
his stock, together with two cents
worth of shorts to each animal. He
feeds no meal simply to prove whether
1t is the ensilage or the meal which
gives the effect. The results attained
thus far are perfectly satisfactory; til e
mich cows hold out their milk well,
and the butter made is almost equal to
summer butter in quality. Mr.. Hall
all, but he answered questions intelli-
gently, and was evidently satisfied in
the main with his venture in IA silo.
