Lyndonville. VT

This is our fourth year of making ensi-
lage. We have put in about one hundred
and forty-two tons of pressed ensilage for
the season in three pits. We filled into one
pit one day and into the next the next day,
and so changed from day to day till all were
filed. One man was in the pit levelng and
freading. We used one-horse power and
Bailey cutter and put in the silo as fast as
one man could cut and help load, using a
two-horse team for drawing. 1t took five
hands in all To do the work. When the
first pit was filled we put on few barrels
of sand for weight. The first pit was
opened after ten days and we commenced
feeding out from it, 1t is the incest ensi-
lage we ever had we filled part OF one
pit with field corn, the corn and stalks
being run through the CUTTER we had
three and one -halt acres and have just
commenced feeding from this pit, but
present appearances we think it will be
good we feed this in connection with the
others. We planted four acres of South
-ern White and one acre of Western Early
Yellow Dent which cared out and was
well filed and had good growth OF fod-
der; we think this is the best corn for en-
silage to teed to milch cows. Our ensil-
age is great thing for US this year, as
our grass crop was very light, not more
than half crop. The longer we use en-
silage the better we like it. and don't
know how we could get along without it,

SiIos and Ensilage.

In many parts OF New England the pas
lures are nearly worthless in the months
of July and August. owing to the drouth
and grasshoppers, to say nothing of the
great falling off in producing feed at other
times In the season in comparison with
former years. am inclined to the opin-
ion that it would be about as well to allow
our poorest pasture land to grow timber,
and, as a substitute for the grass that we
fail to grow for our cows, plant few
acres more OF corn for the silo. In this
way we may be sure to have
a supply left over tor summer use. | have
fed ensilage two winters and one sum-
mer with very satisfactory results. have
never fed anything that would produce so
much butter or beef in proportion to the
cost as ensilage. Had it not been tor ensi-
lage the past season, during the severe
drought. my cows would have gone back
on me, 4" in spite OF everything; but having
plenty, which lasted until August 20, we
have made 2,730 pounds OF butter since
January |, from eleven cows, four of them
only two years old.

they be? 1t is now nearly quarter
of a century since one of them held a
federal Office, and the Republican su-

precious few of them have had a chance
at a state or local office. At the

Democrats. The Vermont appetite is
not subject for hilarity. 1t is seri-

Still another international exhibit
ton is being organized in London,
and has just been officially recognized
by the Board of Trade. 1t is to be
opened next spring at the Alexan-
dria Palace and Park in Wood Green,
where the Words Fair of 1862 was
held. The Alexandria Palace has not
been a profitable institution of late
years, as it is situated in the
northern and rather inaccessible part
of London. The promoters of the
coming exhibition hope to restore the
palaces former prestige, and are
spending enormous sums of money in
preparations but the success of the
enterprise is doubtful. Among the
most prominent features of the exhi-
bition will be a superb Oriental fair
and an exact reproduction of Lap
land village, with real Lap, rein
deer, dogs and sledges.
