placed in closed cask, with proper
amount of sugar and water, the bung
being left out until fermentation
ceases. If red wine is preferred, the
juice is allowed to ferment on the
bulls for several days, stirring at In
tervals. When fermentation has
completely extracted the juice from
the hulls and seeds, the clear liquid
is drawn off, put into closed cask
with proper quantities of sugar and
water, and the bung left open until
all fermentation is over. Care should
be taken to fill completely these
closed casks. When fermentation is
over, the bung should be replaced
and contents remain undisturbed un-
til winter, at which time the clear
wine should be tracked from the lees
and placed in another cask, filled and
corked. The 'racking' is easily done
by a syphon tube without disturbing
the lees at the bottom. After this
the wine may be drank ad Libitstna,
although it will increase in aroma
and bouquet, if not in alcoholic

How to Get Early Sweet Corn.

Judge Miller, Of Missouri, informs
the Germantown Telegraph OF fact
discovered by himself, in which a full

corn for boiling. He said it was,
that as soon as the ear is formed,

leave the stalk erect, in order that
the pollen of the tasseI will be sure
to dust the silk Of the ears, as they
may not be fully impregnated should
the stalk be topped. lie stated that
he had experimental for years and
was entirely satisfied that it is uni-
tormly practical and OF value. In tact
he thinks that the ear becomes more
fully developed also. This is hint
easy to adopt, and may be OF inter-
est to truckers as well as for the pri-
vate garden.

dio, in which comparison is thus
drawn
AT the sale of Cinchona bark in
November last, 100 bags of Jamaica
bark were offered Tor sale and dls
posed of; the red and Grown barks
obtaining, as on former occasions,
better prices than either the Ceylon
or East India banks, with the excep.
ton of the "good renewed" red from
Madras. But while the whole of ia
maica bark was sold, it may be noted
that at the same sales out OF 1872
packages Of Ceylon bark, $50 only
were sold, and only 9 out of 81 pack
ages we're disposed of. 1t is obvious
from the above figures that the Ja-
maica bark obtains such good prices
from its quality, and not from any
scarcity of bark In the market"
The stability of Cinchona cultiva-
ton, as thus shown, even under adj
verse circumstances, is most encour-
aging, and this experience may well
commend itself to all Coffee Planters
who are aole to combine Cinchona
with Coffee cultivation.
The Cinchona, when once estab-
lished, is evidently independent of
times and seasons, and in years un-
favorable to coffee the Cinchona may
we'll be utilized as compromising
product.
The spontaneous growth OF Gin
chona, especially OF the Crown bark,
G. Oficindlis, by self.sown seedlings
now literally forming patches OF Gin
chona forests on the Blue Mountain
slopes, has been specially noticed.
This, as showing the suitableness OF
both the soil and climate of the Blue
Mountains for the successful growth
OF this valuable plant, is most sig>
niicant fact, and one that, combined
with high prices obtained for the
bark, bespeaks most eloquently the
futuge which lies before Cinchona en-
terpriSe in Jamaica. Another tact,
of different character, but still OF
OF the same tendency, has lately come
under my notice, which | venture to

Colonel Bowie.


Sensational articles appeared in a spec
ial edition of the Houston Daily Post re-
Gently, written by w. P. Zuber, of
Grimes County, protesting to give the
first full account of the massacre of the
Texan garrison in the celebrated fortress
of the Church of the Alamo, at San An
tonic, March 6, 1886. Zuber says he got
the account from Mexican fifer known
in Texas as Polin, who was with the
Mexican army at the time of the capture
of the Alamo. Polin says that after the
Mexican soldiers had taken the fort,
scaled the walls and put the garrison to
the bayonet or sword, Santa Anna, ac-
companied by members of his staff, en-
tered the fort and viewed the Texans
slain. Polin, being fifer and a priv
LEGGED character, entered with Santa An
ma, and Immediately behind the Mexican
dictator. Santa Anna ordered the citi-
zens of San Antonio to pick out the
corps of Colonel Travis, the Texan COM
mander, which he ran his sword through.
After Santa Anna had retired from the
fortress, two Mexican officers, with a
number of soldiers, entered and pro-
ceeded to pile up the bodies of the dead
Texans, in order to burn them. In the
search for corpses they discovered the
celebrated Texan patriot, Colonel James
Bowie, in a secluded apartment of the
fortress, lying sick upon stretcher. One
of the officers looked at the sick officer
and asked the other if he knew him. The
latter said he thought he did, and that
it was the infamous Bowie. The officers
then berated Bowie for fighting against
the Mexican Government, after having
married respectable Mexican lady. He
denounced them for fighting under a
tyrant like Santa Anna. They ordered
him to shut his mouth, and Bowie said:
Never, for your sort" Them said
the senior officer, we will relieve YOU
of your tongue" They then had sol
diers take knives and split open his
mouth, cut off his tongue, and throw his
body, still writing, upon pile of
corpses. The latter was saturated with
camphene, and while Colonel Bowie
body, still bleeding but speechless, lay
alive upon the funeral heap, match
was stuck into the combustible fluid and
a tall pillar of flame Immediately shot up
and one of the American officers, pale
and trembling, said to his companions:
That fire takes Bowie's soul up to God"
This is the first account of the last mo-
ments of Colonel Bowie ever published.

Ensilage i'm Wisconsin.

At the late meeting of the dairymen of
Wisconsin, w. A. Henry, Professor of
Agriculture in the Wisconsin State Uni
versity, related the results of his dairy
experiments at the farm at Madison in
ensilage of fodder. His silo is of stone,
thirty feet long, fifteen feet wide, and
thirty feet deep. The walls are eighteen
inches thick, with no doors or windows.
Over the silo, which is about half under
ground, is shed. The bottom of the
silo is composed of powders, in the in
terstices of which cement is poured. The
expense, including the shed, was S413. 43.
The ensilage was Indian corn of different
varieties. When the corn was cut in
September it was found that by actual
weight there came from good land, from
one variety of corn, twelve tons to the
acre; of another variety sixteen and one
half tons, and from third twenty-one
and one-half tons to the acre. The re-
suits were, the speaker thought, as high
as could be obtained. He placed no con-
fidence in statements which represent
sixty or seventy-tive tons of ensilage
produced on an acre. The ensilage was
drawn Immediately to the silo, where it
was cut into half-inch pieces at the av-
erage of 120 pounds a minute. When
ensilage was put in it commenced i'm
mediately to heat and appeared to be
spelling, Work progressed, however,
until 10000 pounds were deposited.
The silo was then filled to within eighteen
inches of the top. Ten thousand pounds
of wet clover was then put in, upon
which were put planks weighted with
eighteen tons of stone, which made 112
pounds to the square inch. The ensilage
settled about four feet. In December
the silo was Opened and the clover was
found to be of brown color and badly
rotted on top, but most of it was eaten
and more greedily by the cows than the
corn fodder Two cows were fed meal
and ensilage, and two others were fed
hay and meal. 1t was found that the
flow of milk from ensilage kept up better
than from other food There have been
no experiments made with ensilage milk
as to its composition or butter-making
quality. To cut and put down the en-
silage cost about S1.6S per ton, but the
Professor expected to reduce this cost
fifty per cent. next year. 1t may be ad-
ded that the vote of the general run of
the dairymen there was for lack of con-
fidence.- Wisconsin, State Journal.
