EXpe rlments With Ensilagc.

The Nineteenth Bulletin of the New Jer-
sev Experiment Station contains some new
and important facts in regard to ensilage.
Analyses have been made Of the green fodder
as put into the silo, of dried fodder made in
the ordinary manner from the same corn and
Of the ensilage; it is shown thereby that in
the process of ticld-curing each ton of the
green fodder lost. besides the water that evap-
GRATED. Sc pounds of its dry substance. while
each ton put into the silo lost 90 pounds.
and that this loss fell, as has hitherto been
supposed. on the comparatively cheap carbhy
drates. Illus the objection to enslage
of corn fodder, made by some writers,
that it involves a serious loss of fodder sub
stance by the fermentation, is left with little
to stand on; loss of only 30 pounds in 1900
and of only four pounds more than is lost
when the fodder is feld-cured. may easily he
balanced by small part of the advantages
so widely claimed for cnsilage by most of
those who have tried the process. Expert
ments at the station in feeding dried fodder
and ensilage showed that when the former is
cut and crushed in a proper manner (and
doubtless at no greater expense for this prep
aration than is laid out in cutting tine green
fodder before it goes into the slo. } it is eaten
as readily and with as little waste AS the en-
silaged corn. With milch cows. in some
trials, the ensiiage gave greater yield of
milk than did the field cured fodder. but the
difference in favor of ensilage was by no
means so great rs some have made il out to
be by their own experience.

Some of our farmers and poultry raisers
are oftentimes sorely puzzled to find some
way TO set hens so that the laying fowls
will not bother them by driving them off
of their nests, resulting in the cooling
of the eggs and the death of the embryo
chickens. In the scuffle over the nest the
dispute will sometimes be SO hot that
the eggs will all be broken.
To obviate this difficulty. take box and
set the hen in it as usual during the day.

The case of Mrs. Edward Myers of Rond-

of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for erysipelas of the hand without benefit. Not
until her hand had become mass of putrefed
flesh did she turn to DIR. Kennedy, proprietor
of the ''Favorite Remedy" for help.
He at once informed her that it was impos-
sible to save her hand-it must be amputated
She received this terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether. stipulating merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving a muscle or uttering groan. DIR.
Kennedy then gave ''Favorite Remedy" freely
TO cleanse the blood and prevent the return of
the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance.
''Fsvorite Remedy" is fast becoming
trusted household friend in all cases of Female
