Hay, EnsiIRSe and Dry Fodder.
From tn. New Ens,ana Farmer


Circumstances alter cases. We have
noticed that the most ardent advocates OF
the new system OF storing fodder in silos,
are usually located in sections of the
country where Indian corn is more easily
raised than upland hay. Mr.. G.. Il. Whit
ney OF Williston, Vt, is in oAe OF the best
grass growing sections il New England,
but being inclined to investigate and ex-
pertinent, he built sllo year or more
ago in one corner of his barn, and hlled
| it with corn fodder grown for the purpose.
This year lie informs us that he raised
| field corn in place of ensilage corn, be-
cause he so mrch missed the grain last
year that he might have raised upon the
land where his ensilage grew. Mr.. Whit
nev is n liberal feeder, and means to give
his cows all the good food they needi,
knowing that the profit on feeding Is all
derived from the surplus food above that
required to merely support llts
He found last winter that his COWS,
which are large ones, wanted at least
eighty pounds Of easilaso per day, when
kept upon it without other forage, and
many Of them would put away hundred
pounds per day without being overloaded.
With from twenty-five 20 thirty large
COWS to feed daily, he found that he must
get ont something ike $500 pounds oi
ensilage. and carry it 10 the managers
each day, which made n great deal OF
heavy lifting. He led with the ensilags
ten pounds of mixed grain daily to eael
COW. After the ensllage was fed out, hs
fed seventeen pounds OF dry corn fodder
from the field corn we understand) anc
the same amount Of grain as when feeding
cnsilage, and obtained equally good re
suits at the churn, while the expense wat
less than for the ensilage ration.
The silo, however, came quite handy
last summer when the weather was so un
favorable to hay making as the northern
Vermont farmers found it during July
: He put thirty tons of hay in the silo anC
pressed it in solid, and hopes it will CONF
ont worth more thar if he had tried t.

Uybridizing seeds,

A writer in CoiD,0r's Rur0l World has
the following to say II is not generally
known that squashes, melons and cuoum-
bers will mix and hybridize If planted
nsar TO each other, and may, although
planted at distance, by tho bees bring
ing pollen from one plant to another. Not
only is the seed made worthless, but the
fruit is spoiled for use, as the flavor is
mixed. This has boon doubted but two
years ago grew melons and cueumbers
together, in adjoining beds, to test the
question. Some Of the melons were all
right. aud some Of the cucumbers, but
there were q great many melons that were
too much like cucumbers and too many
cucumbors like melons One cucutnbcr
was distinctly half snd half, being partly
netted and divided into sections. Most
OF the melons we're uneatable. Since
then have chosen to grow melons in the
garden and cucumbers at the farthest end
of the farm. Watermelons do not seem
to mix they bloom much later than
musk melons, and have them growing
side by side all right.

Salem, Ore,, Correspondence N Y. World
The st. Louis letter published in the World
of 18th inst. concerning Neil Gillespie Blaine
was read with interest here, where this long
lost brother of James G. Blaine has been liy-
ing under the name of NJ. G. Lane for the
last five years, teaching in the public schools
most of the time, occasionally exhorting at
Baptist meetings, addressing ''teachers' in
stitutes," delivering temperance lectures,
&c. A few times he has ''gone on drunks,''
but pretty uniformly he has kept sober. His
worst fault is borrowing money and promis-
ing payment son the honor of gentleman
promise he has seldom kept He has some
times drawn drafts on his illustrious brother
a few of the first of which were paid, but they
were soon returned protested. The then
sheriff of this county, Mr.. Ramsbv was
persuaded TO cash one of these drafts for
$50 which James G. refused to pay, and
Mr.. Ramsby paid the protest fees and lost
his $3.50 besides, less an Indian pony Lane
had worth $50. Rev. Mr.. Nesbitt, a confid-
ing Baptist minister, now of California, who
was here last year, was victimized for $40 in

proceeds of a public reading-faled to ar

him under stress as he was leaving here
Lane, or Blaine lived a hand-to mouth exist
ence here, telling the while that he was a
half brother of James G. Blaine and point
ing to his prominent nose as proof of his
statement. He was accustomed to say that
their mothers first husband was Lane and
that she was widow when she married
Blaine. When James G. was nominated at
Chicago he told a few persons that his name
was not Lane, but was Blaine, and that be
was the oldest and full brother of James G..
Blaine. One of the State officers got him a
pass east and he went from here about six
weeks ago, saying ne was going to see his
brother and make speeches in his behalf. II
is said he registered as Blaine after leaving
here. He left wife and family here, where
they now are. The olddst boy, some sixteen
or eighteeD years of age, is EN- ployed in the
Salem FIGURING mills here and is the main
stay of the family during his father absence.
These are facts known to the community
here. OF his former career nothing was
known here. The Georgia rumor mentioned
by your St. Louis correspondent is either
mistake or occurred further back than repor-
ted. He was here two years ago and has
not been from here for some five years.

This girl was nude, comely Of face and

Turkish modesty never goes farther than the

at that point, and with the majority of wo-

hose and pointed slippers of red or yellow
leather, walking on wooden p ,ttens to keep
them out OF the filth. But the Abyssinian

thus betray the one popularity that stamps
them as daughters of Ham. Their ankles
