Ensilage at Michigan Agricultural
College.

Cullc6C.
One of the most satisfactory re-
ports Of experiments with ensilage
at the West, which we have seen, is
that of Prot. Johnson, of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College. 4 silo
was built in the basement of a new
barn. Its dimensions were I4xIsxS
fee;, made with stone, with sides and
bottom cemented. A frame extended
four feet above the stone wall. Two
inch plank we're used in covering,
the weights being stone. The cos!
of the silo was SI5I.9o.
The silo was filled the middle Of
September with corn grown in drills
81 feet apart, ri bushel of seed per
acre being used-thought to have
been too much. The stalks were cut
into half-inch pieces. The ORR was
not weighed when put in, but there
were 20 tons of food as fed out from
rs acres of land. The cost of rails
ing the crop and putting it in silo
was S4I,SI. The fodder kept with
very little loss, and was readily eaten
by the cattle. Prof. Johnson reports
himself much pleased with the results
Of the feeding trials. He thinks one
ration a day Of dry fodder should be
fed in connection with the ensilage.
Grain of some kind should be fed.
All the cattle fed on it continued in
good health. Prof !. says:
"The convenience in handling the
prepared fodder; the large amount
that can be stored in a small space;
the avidity with which cattle eat it,
and thrive and grow when a small
ration is fed with it; the fact that it
can be stored in a wet time, during
lowering weather, when fodder could
not be cured; the furnishing of sue
culent food for stock during our long
winter at very small cost-these are
some of the reasons that led me to
think the ~ensilaging of corn especially
will prove to be a practical and profit.
able method of preparing food for
stock. / think it may take the place
of roots and be a cheap substitute for
them"

Alcohol to Aid Digestion.

Lady Jane Ellice was President of
the Ladies' National Temperance
Convention which assembled in Lon
don, May, 1876. She had often
heard from ladies certain reasons
why they should not OF could not
abstain. She had therefore submitted
to DR.. B. w. Richardson, All eminent
physician of London, a short series
of questions on these points, and
the following is his reply with
reference to the aid afforded to di-
gestion by the use of alcohol:
"The common idea that alcohol
acts as an aid to digestion is without
foundation. Experiments on the
artificial digestion of food, in which
the natural process is very closely
initiated, show that the presence of
alcohol in the solvents employed
interferes with and weakens the
efficacy of the solvents. 1t is also
one Of the most definite of facts that
persons who indulge even in what is
called the moderate use Of alcohol
suffer often from dyspepsia from this
cause alone. They acquire a morbid
feeling that they can not take food

The union temperance meeting
held in the Congregational Church,
Sunday evening, May 9TH, was highly
gratifying to those who are anxious
to 'have the people come to a
knowledge of the truth" in regard to
the question of the drink-evil, its
possible suppression. The church
was crowded with attentive listeners.
The speaker, Charles Towne, Of
Lansing, handled the question of
license and prohibition in a manner
that proved he thoroughly UNDER
stood his subject, and his clear,
logical, forcible presentation of the
matter, must have carried conviction
to the candid listener, hat prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic is not only a
right, but a duty. His carefully
prepared statistics, Of the results of
prohibition, in those states where it
has been enforced, leave no ground
for the stale observation, "prohi bition
is a failure"
1t is a happy omen for the future
of our Government, when the young
men who aspire to become statesmen
and leaders. place themselves so
squarely and fearlessly in opposition
to this crying evil, the liquor traffic.
May their number be multiplied, and
their tribes increase.

instances they are led to take more

and in other instances more Of both
kinds of food than can be healthily
assimilated and applied. Thus, the
use of the stimulant leads to flatu-
lency after meals, to tendency to sleep,
to Incidence Of mind and body, and
TO disturbed rest; in fact, it leads to
the symptoms which, under the
varied names of biliousness, nervous
ness, lassitude, and indigestion, are
so well and SO extensively known.
"From the inevitable paralysis of
the minute blood-vessels which is
induced by alcohol, there occurs,
when alcohol is introduced into the
stomach, ingestion of the vessels
and redness of the uco lining of
the stomach. This is attended by
the subjective feeling of a warmth or
glow within the body, and is followed
by an increased secretion of the
gastric fluids. 1t is urged by the
advocates of alcohol that this action
of alcohol on the stomach is a reason
for its employment as an aid to
digestion, especially when the di-
gestive powers are feeble. AT best
the argument suggests only an arti-
fetal aid which it can not be sound
practice to make permanent in place
of the natural process of digestion.
In truth, the artificial stimulation, if
it be resorted to even moderately, is
in time deleterious. 1t excites over
secretion of the stomach and acidity,
and in the end it leads to weakened
c~ontractile power of the vessels of
stomach, to consequent deficiency
of control of those vessels over the
of blood, to organic impair
ment of function, and to coirmed

hat alcohol is no proper aid to

'ervation that when it is felt to be a
necessary aid, it is doing actual
mischief, the very feeling of the
necessity being the best proof of the
injury that is being inflicted. Lastly,
On this head, it is a matter Of ex-
oerience with me that, in nine cases
,ut of ten, the sense of the necessity,
IN which 10 much is urged, is re-
moved in the readiest manner by the
simple plan Of total abstinence, with
'ut any other remedy or method.
in exceptional cases, total
abstinence fails, other remedies, as a
'ule, also fail, and this is an indica-
ion that the natural functional
of the digestive organs is
rrevocably destroyed"
1t is an important fact, strangely
overlooked, that even if alcohol does
promote secretion of the gastric
uice, it destroys the efficacy of that
iuid as soon as it comes in contact
With it, thus ~exhausting the power of
he stomach and not adding to the

tured by Chinese. One Butts,6eld. a
Canadian, keeps q store on Market

that no goods made by Chinese labor
were sold by him. The League of De-
liversnce ascertained that the greater
,part OF his stock was manufactured by
sChinamen, aud it took measures to in
form the public of the fact. A man
was engaged to walk In front Of his
store with pla ard on his back stating
chat Ruttertield dealt in Chinese made
goods. This attracted large crowd to
the place, and resulted in the arrest Of

witness for the defense. and he testified
that he bad no intention of melting a
riot. bnt simply desired that the public
should know that Batteriisld was deal
ing IN goods make by Cinnamon. The
Jury found a verdict Of not guilty, con-
trary to law and the evidence. Public
sentiment is strongly against Chinese in
San Francisco, and though the League

A Muchly-Married Man.
Russellyille Herald Enterprise.

Living near Keysburg, in this
county, is worthy and substantial
old citizen, Mr.. J. B. Rose, whose
career as a married man has been
somewhat remarkable. When about
twenty-one years of age he married
Miss Nancy Smith. They had four
children, two of whom are dead.
His first wife having died, he married
his sister-in law, Miss Wilmuth
Smith. She was the mother of two
children, both of whom are dead.
His second wife died, and he married
again, this time Mrs. Emily
Hollingsworth, widow with
three children, two daughters and q
son. At that time three of his child
rem by his first wife were living.
These two sets of children, contrary
to the general rule, were very fond
OF each other; so much 80 that his,
MIR. j. S. Rose, married her daugh-
ter, Miss Sallie Hollingsworth, and
her son, ]. G. Hollingsworth, MARI
ried his daughter, Miss Minerva
Rose. The two remaining daughters
would have married each other, but
friends interfered and prevented the
match. Mr.. Rose and his third wife
had three children, two of whom
are dead. In the course
of time the third wife
died, and in due season Mr.. Rose
married a fourth time, again choos-
