By the way this subject of ensilag
seems to be just about where it started il
the fall. Those who favored it then hav,
not changed their views, while the oppo
nents are not convinced. The only wa,
that one is likely to be fully satisfied is Il
try for himself As a rule those who hav,
results. Now and then one does not Ike
it. More time is necessary TO definitely
determine the place the silo will occupy il
the economy of butter making and stocl
growing. One thing has been shown
that he who wishes to try the silo can dc
so at comparatively small expense, as
the experience of those who have written
for the Farmer the past few months goes
10 show. He who would build silo the
coming season should begin his prepare
tions now.
Which is what Brother Dole says in 6
late number of the Vermont Farmer, ano
that is about our idea of the matter. We
have not printed much concerning ensi.
lage for the last year. The subject is
fairly before the people, they are familiar
with the theory of ensilage, the various
ways of building sios and there are
enough built so any farmer who desired
more explicit information on the subject
or any part of it, can in days drive,
visit one and obtain more satisfaction on
the subject in an hours inspection and
talk with the owner than in cord of
newspaper articles. So we do not intend
to give much space to the subject unless
some more light is discovered. But it
does amuse us to see how people who
have had no experience in a silo, probably
never saw one, undertake to learned!y ex-
plain and prove how they cannot be Of
value-and others oppose, to a statement
OF fact, as to now many cattle are kept on
the produce of a certain area of corn fod
der in ensilage, theory founded on the
mount of water contained in ton of
green fodder, and that it cannot be done.
An actual fact cannot be affected by any
amount of theories. The way to meet
statements of fact is 10 impeach the wit
ness, or accept the fact and adjust the
theory to it.

The following statistics from the Anaer
ican Cultiuator will give our dairymen an
idea of the reason of the low prices re
ceived for butter this spring. The grea
activity exhibited in the trade in dairy
stock last year indicates the largely in.
creased yield of butter which the figures
of the Cultivator show, and the conse
quent lower prices must be expected. l,
would seem that the field of cheese MAX
ing might offer inducements for invest.
ment, when cheese which has all the
indications Of skim" and not the best
at that, is retailing in our country stores
at 16 cents per pound. 1t is evident that
in Vermont cheese would be the more
profitable product at that price, as butter
is now selling.
The receipts of butter are unprecedent.
ed. Upwards of 10000 tubs have been
received in this market since Jan. ], in
excess of the receipts for the corresponding
three months of last year. Last week
nearly 10000 packages were received
here, as against about 1000 packages for
the same week last spring. The exports
are liberal, though on a loY basis of
prices. Upwards of 100000 pounds were
shipped abroad last wesk.

Overwork. We continually hear good
deal about men being overworked. Pro.
fessional men and public officers seem
especially to suffer from this affection, and
a great deal of sympathy is bestowed on
them, especially on the professional men.
The clergy are made much of when they
are overworked. Then the congregation
raises handsome sum and sends the poor,
overworked man off to Europe to amuse
himself, and he amuses himself very much
indeed.
We know a good deal about work
honest, square, steady, effective work; but
about overwork we have a great deal of
doubt. Generally speaking, when man
is said to be overworked, the truth is that
he is guilty of some excess which breaks
down his strength. There may be cases
in which there is an excess of work, but
of these cases there are very few indeed.
The excess is in eating, in drinking, in
neglect of exercise, or in some other
mysterious way A man of ordinary
health can stand all the real work he has
to do, but the additional strain which he
puts upon himself outside'of work is more
than he can bear.
There is no delusion more frequent or
more absurd than this delusion of over.
work. There is always excess in the case,
no doubt, but not an excess of labor. 1t
is an excess of some other kind.-New
York Sun.

How THEY MAKE BREAD IN NORMAN
DY.-The following extract from a Paris
correspondent letter in the Independent,
gives the way they prepare their bread
for baking.
Elsie explained 10 us that, although she
was thirty and had filled her dead mothers
place for years, she had never seen a loaf
of bread made in her life.
| at is something out of woman's line,
just as horse shoeing is" she said, land
never thought to be Interested In it."
But she knew enough about it to tell us
that ever so many pounds of flour are put
into the trough and mixed with water. A
lump of dough from the last mixing is
then added, and the mass left few hours
to rise. At the end of that time, as much
flour is added as is found necessary; and
then the man or men put on their bread
sabots and get into the trough upon the
dough. There they tramp! tramp! tramp!
kickl jump! tramp! till the compound is
sufficiently mixed. 1t is then taken from
tho trough and laid upon a plank, where
it is hammered and beaten awhile with
clubs. 1t rises only once, not twice, as
bread always does with US; and, after its
good, sound thrashing, or rather, clubbing
on the plank. is at once shaped into the
large, wheel shaped loaves, and baked in
the large over, from which embers have
just been removed. At the end of several
hours it is withdrawn-the close textured
dark colored, but sweet and not unpalata.
BILE bread upon which we had just lunched
Stout de m1e1ne," murmured Charlie,
meditatively, on our fragrant, sunset way
homeward. "All the same, I'm glad !
heard about the bread making after our
luncheon, instead of before it. Aren't
you, manaan."
Before the mothers eyes rose swift,
pleasant memory of conntry bread making
in her dear native land. She saw sunny
kitchens, with windows open to clover
scented air, and visions of fair pastures |
and rich orchards stretching away. On
spotless tables clean armed women knead. |
ed snowy Jumps of dough, touching them
daintily with fists none the less strong for
their dizziness, pelting and caressing them,
and, finally, shaping them into the light, |
delicious loaves whose equals are nowhere
else on earth than in our own America.
No wonder that it was with pangs Of |
unwonted inconsistencies that she talked |
with the two boys--one English, one
American-of bread making over the sea

it had been tested and proved by the whole world

Scrap Books, Etc.

| DEAR MEMBERS OF HOUSEHOLD DE-
PARTMENT:-I have been interested ir
reading the various suggestions about
scrap books, for am always glad of any
hints which may help me to improve
mine. The topics in mine are not arranged
as Systematically as now wish, so am
obliged to have an index. My scrap books
| are now seven in number. One temper.
ance book, one missionary, one geograph-
ical-containing descriptions of countries,
their inhabitants, vegetation, animals
and any anecdotes which might help in
making geography interesting to children,
A part Of this is devoted TO general
information. One selection tells how
lead pencils are made; another what
celluloid is, and so on. One book is filed
with selections suitable for pHblc reading
or speaking; one for home reading
stories, anecdotes of distinguished people Z;
one of household hnts-ltte notes winch
one wishes TO remember, but never does
without some "men DRY help" This one
has also medical depal tmcnt'' with
remedies for "all (O the ills TO which
human flesh is herr The seventh is a
recipe book, warranted to contain only
such recipes as have been 'tried and
approved" Then, too, | have another
little book, which l prize highly. In it, |
write all the short selections found in my
reading. which l wish to remember but
cannot cut out. When reading papers |
mark the pieces which l wish to clip out
and find that to do so, is much easier than
to closely examine papers, after forgetting
which pieces were considered worth
saving.

little indignant after reading that Ooutl. be

GER of March Goth called "Sheathing
Pillow" 1t is pity that the man who
wrote it didn't give US his name. If he
had only tried 10 "Sheath Pillow" him
self before writing that, literature would
have lost that wonderful addition to its
treasures. I'd just like TO see him do it
once. He'd lose his patience, Pm afraid,
quicker than he would in putting up

l think you will like the following
recipes. The two ways of preparing fish
are nice, especially when beef is high us
it was last summer
One cup of finely chopped freshened
goldfish; one cracker, rolled fine; one EGG,
well beaten; one cup milk; a little butter
and pepper; put in basin and heat

Another way-Chop Goldfish fine; beat
with two eggs; add little flour and milk;
Try in hot butter. dipping in one spoonful

A LOVELY SCENE.

We stood at the bars as the sun went down
Behind the hills on a summer day.
Her eyes were tender and big and brown,
Her breath as sweet as new-mown hay.
Far from the west the faint sunshine
Glanced sparkling of her golden hair,
Those calm deep eyes were turned toward mine,
And look of contentment rested there.

Peacefully standing and chewing her cud,
As rubbed her ears-that Jersey COW.
