South Barton, vt.

Last spring got up courage to go
into the silo business and planted 81
acres of ensilage corn, acres of the
Southern White and ~ acres of
Bailey's Mammoth. The Southern
White was planted in drills 81 feet
apart upon ground that was MANFRED
25 loads broadcast to the acre, with
an addition of 200 pounds of phos-
phate, sowed in the same manner.
From this plot l harvested fully so
tons, 25 per acre. The ~ acres of
Bailey's Mammoth Ensilage was
planted in drills, 81 feet apart, upon
broken-up ground; used $50 pounds
of phosphate per acre and harvested
from this plot about Is tons per acre.
[ used ID bushel of seed per acre. l
constructed my silo from the middle
bay of my barn, directly opposite my
stable; l built it entirely of wood
from the basement to the upper floor
in the barn (my barn being construct
ed with two foors). Dimension of
silo, II by 16 by &c; capacity about
115 tons. Double boarded outside
and inside, with sawdust between !;
matched boards on the inside, with a
door into the feeding floor, also one
in the basement. [ opened the silo
Nov. 80, and found the ensilage in
perfect condition. | am now feeding
it to 26 head of cattle and "a sheep,
once per day to all the stock, and
twice per day to some ten or twelve
cows, that | am now milking, with
some quarts of cob meal and bran
(mixed), to the cows. The milk
has increased in quality. My entire
stock eat it greedily and are doing
splendidly. The cost of the silo and
ensilage did not exceed $3.50 per
ton. | am we'll satisfied that it will
paysthe entire cost this year; in fact
| call ensilage a success.

THE SHINING LIGHT.

The night was dark, and as the
wind whistled through the trees, it
all seemed dreary to Ludwig, a wood
choppers boy, for not being able to
find his path, because even the stars
were all hidden behind the heavy
clouds-he was lost. How desolate
he felt; he could only grope his way,
now getting his feet entangled in the
underbrush, now stumbling over "a
hidden stone, tired and hungry and
sad. No wonder he was sad when
he remembered how his mother was
impatiently waiting his return, when
he thought of the good bread and
cream-cheese that were to have made
his supper.
| wonder what you would have
done out in that black forest, all
alone. Perhaps you know that his
mother had taught him to carry all
of his cares and troubles to God. He
had not forgotten that, and, kneel-
ing down upon the dried leaves, he
| told God all about it-how he had
become lost, and how tired and hun
ory he was. Besides, he acknowl-
edged his helplessness to get out OF
this great trouble, and asked his
heavenly father to lead him home.
He arose from his knees, greatly
comforted, for he knew that he was
safe. God loves to help us when we
throw ourselves to him; that is what
the Bible means when it teaches us
to task in faith, believing."
Ludwig not only asked God, but
he believed that help would come.
When he stood up to look about him,
the trees were just as high, the night
as dark, and the winds as rough, but
he turned to look first one way, then
another, expecting relief. You will
not doubt that his heart throbbed
with JOY when at last he saw the
twinkle of light, a light shining out
into the darkness. He knew what If
was: it meant for him, rest, love and
home. Keeping his eye fixed upon
the light, he soon got back again te
the path from which he had strayed
and ere long he stood before the can.
die which his anxious mother haC
placed in the window to guide him tt
safety.
Do you love to carry your troubles
to God, and do you ask his help be
Zieving that he can and will grant it
Above all, do you let your light, thu
: light of your example, shine out il
the midst of the sin and darkness o
t the world, that a lost brother o
friend may be guided by it in hi
). wanderings and brought at last SAT
to the heavenly home?

CORN AND OATS FOR HORSES.

The comparative value of corn and
oats for horses may be briefly stated
as follows: The former is deficient
in many of the elements of nutrition
SO necessary for recuperating the
constant wear and tear which neces-
sarily takes place in the body of a
living animal. On this account,
horses which are exclusively fed on
corn and hay do not receive that kind
of nourishment which appears neces-
sary for the due support and main
tenance of the animal fabric; hence.
we must not be surprised that corn
fed horses show evidence of being
languid, by sweating profusely while
being worked, lack of vitality, etc.
Oats, on the contrary, contain more
of the essential elements of nutrition
than any other article of food which
can be fed with impunity to horses.
Oats are not only the most natural
food for horses, but are decidedly
the most nutritious. They are the
cheapest, because there is less risk
in feeding them, and experience has
proved that horses properly fed Oh
oats and timothy hay can, with regu-
lar exercise, good grooming, and
proper sanitary regulations, be
brought to the highest state of physi
cal culture, and can perform more
work with less evidence of fatigue
than when fed on any other article
Of food.-Live Stock Journal.

FISH .CAKEs.-Take any Goldfish

with it mashed potatoes rubbed to a

as much potatoes, or one-half, or even

can be used. Make it out into little
cakes with the hands, and fry in a

1t is claimed by the advocates of
COW currying that it cleanses the hide
of superfiuous hair, keeps it active
and healthful, and void of that pc
culiar odor so commonly found in
milk and sometimes in butter; that
it promotes the secretion and dispo-
sition of the putrid particles of the
animal system which would otherwise
be absorbed by the secretory glands
and be carried off in the milk, anC

much better, and gives promise tt
