FNSILAGE AT THE MICHIGAN AG-
RICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Professor Samuel Johnson, of the
Michigan State Agricultural College, has
made report on the experiments with
ensilage at that institution. He says:
Experience confirms the statement
made in my first report, that any mate
rial may be used in the construction OF
silos that will exclude the air; but it is
better to have several silos or divisions OF
larger one than to have all the ensjlage
in one large one; that weighing with
stones, barrels of earth or sacks of grain
will be more satisfactory than screw,
and that the silo is one of the most econ
omical methods of providing shelter for
| fodder. Several silos were built in the
state last year of wood, and / have yet to
learn that one of them has proven a fail
ure | am confirmed in the belief that
three tons of ensilage are equal to one
ton of hay. The yield of ensilage corn
was eighteen tons per acre, equivalent
in feeding value in a combined ration to
six tons of hay. Ensilage means the
growing of an equivalent of six to ten
tons of hay per acre. If three pounds of
ensilage takes the place of one pound OF
hay in mixed ration, even then, if ami
mails fed with it thrive, are healthy and
present general appearance much like
that resulting from grass feeding, coming
out after four or five months confinement
with sleek coats, without much if any
loss Of weight (these are mich cows(
and with no more shrinkage of milk yield
than we ought reasonably expect as the
time for calving approaches, we must con
clude that there is some virtue in fodder
prepared in this manner. Admitting
only this, is it not profitable and practl-
cable method of securing large crops OF
corn, sorghum and other forage crops and
preparing them for convenient and econ
Omical feeding?"

A dispatch from Vienna states that
Russia is making extensive military pre-
parations along the Austrian and German
frontiers. Tenders have been asked for
&c. 900 military beds. All the railroads
have been ordered to have military cars
in readiness. A list has been made of
private steamees in the Black Sea, and
their Captains ordered to prepare for
transportation of ammunition, troops and
provisions, These vessels have ceased
executing private orders and the carriage
of corn is thus interrupted. Enormous
provision depots have been established
along the frontier, and two army corps
have been distributed between the Vistu-
la and Big rivers. A list has been made
of all persons who, in the event of war,
could be deported from Poland to the in
terror of Russia.
