Conclusions About EnsiIage.

A committee of the Essex Mass. } Ag
rlcultural Society made a careful nvesti-
CATION, by correspondence, Of the exper-
lence OF those who have tried ensiage,
and reached the following conclusions:
| lst. That this method of preserving
green fodder for winter use is success,
when the necessary conditions are Sc
cured.
2d. That ensilage is nutritious and
| profitable feed tor all kinds of farm stock,
| but especially adapted to mileh cows.
Sd. That the flavor of the milk and but
ter is not much different from that made
| from summer green feed, but is more
uniform.
4th. That there is invariably an in
crease of flesh and flow of milk, when the
same amount of grain is fed with it as
with English hay
5th. That the quality of beef is very
much improved by its use in connection
with other nutritious food.
9th. That In order to reach the best
results, ensiage should be fed with some
other nutritious fodder even for cows.
7th. That all kinds of grass or grains
may be stored with safety, but that corn
and clover mixed with apples makes the
best ensilage.
Sth. That the finer it is cut, and the
more heavily it is weighted down the
better, as the air is thus expelled from
the silo, which alone secures its preserva-
ton.
Sth That there is not much different
between the Southern White, Blunt's
Prolific, and Bailey's Mammonth corn
for seed; all are good.
10th. That the cost of producing and
storing ensilage is from two to four dol
lars per ton.
I1th. That the best material for con-
structing silo. in Essex county, is stone
and cement; and the best material for
weighting the ensilage is stone from
twenty-five to fifty pounds weight.
18th. That it will not pay to plow up
land that is now yielding two tons of hay
to the acre to plant ensilage corn; but
land that needs blowing up and working
over, or as second crop following some
early crop, there is no better crop for
fodder than one that you can ensilage for
winter use.
In thus presenting the results of our
Investigations we have not taken the ex
treme statements of our correspondents
of either side, but have presented the
substantial facts in the Investigations,
realizing that the whole subject is yet in
It's infancy with US, although very
thoroughly understood and applied by
our neIghbors across the sea. But we
have no doubt that during the next ten
years such improvements will be made in

Poets keep the keys to portals
Opening into fields Elysian:
They may enter bright dominions,
Where on opalescent pinions,

Over sweets her wand discovers.

True when trusted,-a deceiver
Only to the fools who leave her

Gives them royal recognition,
All her revenues revealing
Nothing from their lew concealing!

n CIV to Cure Catarrh

Catarrh is very frequently mistaken
for Consumption. the symptoms in each
being much alike, especially in the
earlier stages. No one who recognizes
in his own system, or who has friends
or relatives with any of the symptoms
so accurately described, should fail to
send statement of the case to Mr.
Childs. There may be hope even in
very desperate cases.
The discovery of his cure for Catarrh
and diseases of the Throat and Lungs.
has attracted great attention Leading
men everywhere, publicly state that
Childs' treatment has cured them or
their families of Catarrh or Throat or
Lung difficulties among them clergy
men, physicians, lawyers, merchants.
bankers and business men. All who
have personally investigated the facts,
are satisfied that Mr.. Childs has discover
ed a certain, positive and permanent cure
for these diseases, that when properly
used never fails even in the most des-
perate cases. Catarrh is generally many
years in gaining foothold in the system,
and attacks SC many parts of the body
that it can not be cured by any one

requires remedies that will meet the dis
ease wherever it is located, and fight it
inch by inch until complete victory
has been obtained. Rev. I. z. Childs
has treated and cured thousands at their
own homes never having seen them. In
a thoroughly honorable and characteris-
tic manner he publishes the names and
addresses of some he has cured, that
any who desire may Inquire of the pa
tients themselves what Childs' treat
ment has done tor them.
None need feel any hesitancy in plac-
ing their case in Mr.. Childs' hands for
treatment. We would call especial at
tention to the advertisement, and re-
quest careful perllsal Of the facts as
set forth.
Many who do not receive our paper
would doubtless be very thankful,
should our readers call the attention OF
such to the advel tisement of Mr.. Childs.
Catarrh and Consumption are the twin
enemies of the race, and any means OF
relief is heaven-sent blessing. Childs'
treatment may be relied on as an effec-
tive and certain cure for Nasal Catarrh,
Bronchitis and all diseases of the Throat
aud Lungs, and you may recommend il
to your friends with every confidence.

Irregularities have been absorbed TO tie Delaware, Lack

and which accused OF having cut on the dressed beef
