FARM AND GARDEN.
EN- sILAGH.

Quite large convention, or congress"
of New York and New England farmers
was held in New York City las, week to
exchange views and experiences with re.
gard to ensilage, or green fodder preserved
In "silos" as food for cattle. Most of those
present gave their testimony IN favor of
that mode Of feeding. There were not
wanting few others, however, whose eX-
perience made them skeptical, and the
summing up Of the whole by the New
York Sun is
There 10 no doubt that cattle generally
like ensilage but that does not prove that
it Is always good for them. There are two
questions especially which require to be
determined before VIC can be sure that the
ensllage system is not a passing fancy, but
q permanent addition to the resources of
fal ming. These questions are, first,
whether cattle fed on ensilage thrive on it
in the long run, or whether after certain
time 1t does not become necessary to aban.
don the ensllage fodder and to resor. to
some other mode Of feeding; and secondly,
whether the alcoholic Spiri. in ensllage,
which appears to be what renders the cat
tie so greedy for it, does not produce In
them state OF partial intoxicatiou and
continuous lnebriety, and does not Tins do
them positive harm.

Eli Elliott gives tins advice TO stock
raisers IN the Dairy and Farm Journal ::
: FIRST, get good stock OF some Of the bes,
beef breeds; then send them along in calf
hood, and be sure you never let them lose
their calf.iat, but push them On good feed,
as well as good grass, at the same time;
never let them know what hunger is. but
make them weigh from 1900 to 600 at
two years old. In such cases you may
have fed them on good ground feed, such
as oats, corn, bran, shorts and oil meal
every day of their lives, and still! you will
have fine profit, as the time has never
vet been that 1t did not pay to feed q good
animal all 1t would cat of the best and

Of the cost of it-provided it had always

The medical profession in New York
have introduced bypnostlcs, or pesmer-
Ism, very successfully into surgical prac-
tice. A correspondent relates some expe-
rlenCes he recently witnessed in this line.
A boy, who was put into the trance cOpdi.
ton by mesmcrlst, was subjected to a
painful operation. 1t was the first time
that he had been subjected to mesmeric
influence. He became so unconscious in
this condition, and so IDsensible to pain,
that during the first part of the operation
he gave no signs OF sensibility at all. As
the operation proceeded he regained con-
seriousness IN part. and acted as patients
sometimes do under the influence OF an an.
aesthetic. He plainly showed that he sui.
fercd some degree of pain, but he expressed
himself III a confused, incOherent manner.
1t Is thought that If the subject had been
tralned-,hat is, If he had been subjected
to the influence of mesmerism number of
times before-that better result would
have bean obtained. A Brooklyn dentist
has also been making some experiments IN
the same direction. He has been very
successful in extracting teeth without PAIN
from patients in q trance-anHsthetlc con.
ditlon. In some instances he has kept
subjects III trance state for o half hour
during the operation Of excavating and
filling teeth. DR.. Beard, who recently
died, was one OF the most thorough believ.
ers and successful operators in this prac.
tice, and did as much as any one to bring

According 10 the report OF the United

within the last three years has ceased to be
brandy, being for the most part alcohol of

of the vineyards themselves have become

impossible even for honest merchants to
buy pure cognac when they wish to do
