AGRICULTURE.

a QUESTION of the utmost importance
has lately come up for the decision OF
scientific men, IL regard TO the etfect OF
ensilage upon the animals to which it Is
fed. The practice OF cutting feed for
COWS vixen it is full of sap and burying
it in pits where it undergoes partial fer
mentation has been found to result IN
largely increasing the yield Of milk, es-
pecisliy during the winter months. The
system has been widely adopted in the
East, and of its economy and value
there has been no question until quite
lately. 1t is now asserted that this fer
mentation is favorable TO the produc-
ton of bacteria. which pass into the
circulation of the animals and affect
their milk. This view was supported
by paper read at the recent ensilage
congress, 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance that this question shall be prompt
ly and decisively settled, If the sys-
tenn of ensilage is healthy and safe. as
it has been supposed to be, Its ability
to largely increase the yield OF dairy
products from gwen amount OF land
will insure its general adoption. But
if it is productive of the germs OF BAG
terra, which result in zymotic and ty-
phoid diseases, the country cannot
afford to have it continued another
month. Experiments should be prompt,
" set on loot to determine this point
beyond question, and ii ensilage milk
is unhealthy, that system should te
placed under the ban of the law as soon
as the sact is demonstrated.

THERE is no point about which the
farmer is so apt to be in error as he is
in his calculation of the temperature Of
wells and springs on his farm. He al
ways thinks they are colder in summer
and warmer in winter than they really
are. The only possible means of ap-
proxlmatIng to the correct temperature
is TO put thermometer In the water,
testing for the greatest heat along In
September. and for the greatest cold
any time after January l, and before
warm weather sets In. Many a man does
his milk and butter great injustice by
overestimating the cooling power OF bis
spring or well water.

About Winds.

Methodical and thorough observations
OF the wind have been taken and many
useful discoveries made. The most
important, perhaps, is that almos. all
winds are rotary in character, so that 9
mariner, by observing the features OF
an approaching storm, can direct his
vessel IN such a course as to avoid lis
full fury. Much still remains in ooubt,
however, regarding the causes and ma.
tule of destructive storms, one reason
teng the suddenness of their approach
and the difficulties of measuring their
velocity. AT such times the wInd-metsr
is generally blown away and the OBJ.

THE period of milking may be classed
in three parts. For the first six TO sew
en- eeks after calving the largest guam
tty of milk per day is produced. After
this the yield falls off pretty considera-
bly, but then remains at about the same
figure for Two or three months, when a
steady decins sets in until the COW is
perfectly dry. By careful feeding the
best parts OF the milking periods may
be prolonged, and this ought to be the
aim of all milk producers. If green
fodder and other tood, which stimulates
milk secretion, can Ds used at the right
time considerable extra quantity OF
milk may be produced.

English and French eplcures have
long esteemed oysters with green gill.
more highly than others, but IN America
the color has been quite generally attri.
buted to copper, and believed to be
poisonous. Recent Investigations, how
ever, have proven that the green color
is due TO perfectly harmless vegetable
coloripg matter absorbed from the sub
stances on which the oysters feed. A
quantity of copper sufficient to produce
the green color would necessarily be
fatal to the oysters themselves.
