The Ensilage Question.

There are two sides to every question

the fathers Of ensilage as we'll as one of
It's most earnest advocates. Mr.. Mills in
January, 1882, says; II kept last year
100 head of horned cattle and twelve
horses from Oct. 18th to May 18th upon
the product of twelve acres, without hay
or straw. | fed three quarts of grain per
day. gave about sixty pounds of ensilage
per day, and it was a great mistake. |

three quarts of grain per day" The

Importance of Mr. Mills statements if
true, sent delegation to the farm of the
ensliage champion to investigate The
delegation returned and reported the fol

stated that Mr.. Mills has two silos. each
10 feet long, built of masonry. The cattle
were in such a condition that a Massa-

having such cattle in his barn; some of
them could hardly get upon their feet

Disposal Of Rubbish.

In the course of years there will accu-
mulatc on every farm and in every gar
den, quantity Of unsightly stuff, Brok
en- crockery and glassware, old fruit and
tomato cans, worn out sauce pans, and
other wastes of the household. These
can not be composted or turned to any
useful purpose, and if allowed to be scat
tered about, make the surroundings un-
slightly. One of the best methods of get
ting rid of such stuff, is to dig a dry well,
and provide it with a cover too heavy for
children to displace, and then deposit all
such rubbish in this. When filled in three
feet of the top take piece of timber and
pound down the contents as compactly
as possible, and fill up with earth. The
we'll thus covered can be planted over.
and will answer a good purpose as local
drain, while another receptacle can be
made for further accumulations. Ameri-

The high tariff on silk goods is one of those
arguments which the free-tradcr selects to show
the injustice of the protective policy. SO long
as little or 10 silk was manufactured in the
CnitetNStates the tariff was tax added to the
importing price of the goods-simpy a tariff
for revenue laid upon an article of luxury. To-
day the silk industry is not extensive, but in
the branches of production to which attention
has been chiefly devoted, the best results have
been realized. When the American manufac-
turerS began to make ribbons they experienced
the greatest difficulty in get ing them upon the
market. They were stigmltized as ''domestic
trash" and it was only b. supplying special
color> that they Obtained favor. Such favor
have American ribbons found during the past
few years that they are regarded as the best in
the market The result Of the prosecution of
this branch of silk manufacture in reducing the
price was shown by Representative Hill, of New
Jersey, in his recent tariff speech by the prices
of Il ten-yard piece of No 9 grosgrain ribbon of
the same quality each year from 1872 to 1882,

The flower garden should be so arrang-
edas to secure aregular succession of flow
ers-so as to have some kinds coming in
to promptly take theplaces of such as are
passing out of bloom. If this is not pro-
perly attended to the garden will soon
look ragged" and non attractive. In
Europe people produce great effects and
variety even on circumscribed surfaces, by
changing the plants in beds to suit the
season, thereby filling vacuum and pre-
venting barren looks. The ground for
flower beds should be made moderately
light and rich by the addition OF stimu-
lantsin the shape Of compost OF we'll rot
ted manure, deeply spaded if possible,

1t is not often that the New York sun has Il
good word to say OF any of the advocates of
temperance; but having recently published a
communication from Lewiston denouncing cX-
GOV. Dingley as 1.-THE great apostle of temper
ance cant and hypocrisy,' it editorially says,
the next day:
That does not describe Mr.. Dingley at all.
He is one of the most prominent advocates of
the prohibtOry system, but at the same time he
is one Of the most moderate and reasonable. He
INDUCES in argument rather than in cant, and,
far from his being hypocrite, there is not
the slightest doubt of the absolute honesty of
his opinion and the absolute sincerity of his eX-
pressions on the subject
1t is a mistake to suppose that the real leaders
of the prohibition movement, whether in Maine,
or in Vermont, or in Kansas, are fanatics and
fools. 1t is grave injustice to assume that they
are hypocrites. AS a rule they are honest men,
with opinions honestly thought out, working
with energy and ability toward an end which
they have distinctly in view. In Maine they
have accomplished great deal-a great deal
more than can be accomplished in the nineteenth
century by any set of hypocrites dealing in cant.
Prohibition is still an experiment. 1t is proper
to criticise its workings and closely scrutinze
its results But the object of the experiment
in itself is enough to secure respect for the mo-
tives of its honest advocates.

A creditable taste displayed;

\ good rule in potato culture is to plant
early, catch the bugs early, get early,
stout vines and have early tubers. Early
potatoes escape the rust, and one bug
destroyed early is as good as hundred
killed late in the season. If YOU want
large potatoes, don't seed too heavily.
one stalk in hill Will yield as heavy a
weight Of tubers as half d dozen. and the
potatoes Will be OF much larger size.

Cambridge. On my card | announced myself
as a resident of Camden and Il graduate of Bow

remarking, aS he did so, that Camden was not
an unfamiliar place to him, as he had on one oc-
casion enjoyed its delightful scenery and had an
old friend resident there, William III. Goldman,

OF List. the great hungarian musical composer,
remarking i'll Il predatory way. that the first
time he saw List, he entered the room holding
in front of him Il burning taper lighting up his
face as represented in the picture. He then
thought 1t was one of the most bcWltChlng faces
he had ever seen, and so expressed himself to
his friend, who had arranged his meeting with
List. His friend approaching his enthusiasm,
had the portrait painted for him lighted up as
he first saw it. TO give better effect to the pie
