TO PRODUCE ENsILAGE.

The report on silos and ensilage pub
lished by the department of agriculture
gives returns from records of practical
tests made in various parts Of the United
States and Canada. The summary says
the silos are generally built with reference
to convenience in feeding. in. under, or
near the feeding rooms, and may he above
below, or partly below the surface. The
form of the silo is usually a rectangular
horizontal section. The cylindrical form
is recommended. Depth is important,
because less surface is exposed to the air,
but if too deep there is danger ofexpress
ing juice from the ensilage at the bottom.
When the contents are cut in a vertical
section the narrow silo has the advantage
of exposing little surface to the air. The
1920 cubic feet Ghe largest would
hold about 480 TONS Practically the
capacity is less to the extent that the en-
silage settles under pressure. This should
not exceed one-fourth. Stone, brick and
concrete are used for walls underground.
In firm coils that do not become saturated
with water walls are not essential to pre-
servation of ensilage Above ground two
thicknesses of inch boards, with sheath
ing paper between if supported against
side pressure, will answer. Boards gen
orally cover the top, put on transversely,
so that part may be uncovered while
the weight remains on the rest. Any
thing heavy may do for the weight. The
cost of a silo runs from 80 cents to $5 a
ton. Of the crops for ensilage corn takes
the lead, but oats, sorghum, clover, Hun
garian or almost any crop can be used.
Corn, sorghum and similar crops should
be planted in rows, the quantity of seed
corn varying from eight quarts to bushel
and a half for an acre. The common
practice is to put crops in the silo wher
they have reached their full growth, and
before ripening begins. Corn yields per
acre about twenty tons of fodder. The
largest variety Of corn is preferred for
ensilage. sweet corn by many is valued
the most, though it does not yield large
crops.

THE TwIN's FINGERs.-Henry Ban

10 years old, viz: Doll and Lester.
Last week Tuesday Lester went into
Sprague's mill and put his finger on the

when he took his hand away he found
he was minus the end of a finger up to
the FIRST joint. A boy acquaintance who
heard of the accident, met the twin
brother Doll an hour afterward, and tell
him the story said: "Now you ought to
have your finger cut off, so as to be like
your twin brother" Dolls finger was

RAPHAEL'S MADONNA.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-The steamship
Bothnia, of the Cunard Line, brought to
this city this morning the first genuine
work of Raphael that has ever been re-
ceived in the United States. The paint
ing is the famous Madonna of the Can
delebra, which ranks besides the Dresden
Madonna for beauty of art and greatness
of value. The picture belongs to Mon
roe Butler johnson, and that gentleman
has brought it to New York for the pur-
pose of exhibiting it in the galleries Of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
intends eventually to sell it to some
wealthy lover of art in this country.
Upon the arrival of the steamship at her
pier Mr. Butler johnson was met by Gen.
di Cesnola and several friends, and was
engaged in receiving and returning greet
ings when reporter met him. One OF
the gentlemen with him volunteered to
speak Of the painting and said: Il am
not certain what my friend intends to do
with his painting other than placing it on
exhibition. He may be induced to sell
it should he receive an offer sufficiently
large, but a. he withdrew it in 1878 after
bid of $97, 500, the probabilities are
that the value he places upon the paint
ing will deter any one person from pur-
chasing it. The work was offered for
sale in the collection of a. A. J. Munro,
of Vovar, which was partly sold in June,
1878, in London, and it was the only
painting in that splendid collection that
was announced to be reserved. It was
started at $4,000. and when it reached
a bid of $97, 500, the price | mentioned
before, it was bought in by Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Munro purchased it from the Duke
Of Lueva in 1910, and paid $4,000 for
it. The Duke had bought 1t previously
at the sale of the collection belonging to
Prince Lucien Bonaparte. Mr.. Johnston
is the owner through inheritance. 1t is
well known to the pnblic by means OF
engravings. 1t is oval in shape and IL
size is 26 inches in diameter. The paint
ing was detached from its frame several
weeks ago, when Mr.. Johnston first de
cided to bring it to America, and the
frame was shipped to your Museum of
Art. In very few days the painting
will be placed on exhibition. have un
derstood that the Madonna will be hung
at the northern end of the gallery deyot
ed to the old masters and will remain
there during the loan exhibition.

IN PLACE oF HoPs.-Owing to the

and as this price is higher than some OF
the brewers can afford to pay and COM
