Ensilage versus Corn.

The New Jersey Experiment Station
has been doing some excellent work in
testing carefully the relative feeding
value and economy of crop of en-
silage as compared with grain and fod-
der of crop of corn grown on the same
plot of ground. In 1883 a uniform
field upon the college farm was heavily
MANFRED, and prepared for corn in
the usual manner. Five and three
tenths acres were planted for fodder
only, in rows three feet apart. The
yield from this area was 149 ,445 pounds,
an average of fourteen and one-tenths
tons per acre. Ten and one-quarter
acres were furrowed for field corn and
planted in hills three feet six inches
apart each way. The crop was cut up
and shocked in the usual manner. AZ
ter husking, the entire product was
weighed and found to average sixty
eight and three-tenths bushels of shelled
corn and two and two-tenths tons of
dried stalks per acre.
1t will be seen that these were only
good average crops, upon which alone
practical estimates can be properly
based. On analysis it was found that
but a slight difference in nutritive
value existed between an acre of the
fodder made into ensilage, and the
grain, fodder and cobs of an acre of
the crop grown for grain. When the
cost of harvesting the two crops and
preparing them for feed was figured
up, it was found that in favor of the
grain crop, with its fodder, there was
a difference of S3.6S per acre. The
prices paid for cutting the grain crop
was, per acre, 500; husking, $685.;
grinding, 1882; cutting and shredding
stalks, $4; other labor, 1922. On the
ensilage the expenses were, cutting up,
loading and drawing, 1885; cutting
for silo, $500; other labor, $4.54.
Totals, for corn, S22.71; for ensilage,
$26.4l per acre. The cost of fertilizing
the land, and the amount of manurial
value drawn from the soil, were nearly
equal for both crops.
After the crops were secured and pre-.
pared came the feeding tests, and these
showed almost perfect equality, the
yield Of milk hardly varying at all on a
change from the one feed to the other
or, in the words of the report, the sta
ton arrived at the following conclusions

same of the greenbacks. The simple
fact is that all the capitalist interest the
world over requires, TO ensure the ac-
ceptance of the silver dollar and the
greenback at par Qess the above men
toned deductions), is the assurance that
the finances of the Union shall be in
conservative and intelligent hands. If
it should be understood and believed
that our government, for instance, was
taking silver bullion from its owners
and returning to them an equal weight
of silver dollars, and proposed to do so
without limit, there would be ten
dency among the bankers to fight shy
of them, and they would soon be quoted
at discount FOR gold What the for
eign banking interest wants, and all it
wants, is a certainty that our govern
ment can and will make both its dol
lars and its treasury notes good in gold
at all times on demand.
There is no unlimited coinage of sill
YER, nor an unlimited issue of green
backs. The greenbacks stand at a
fixed sum by law. The silver dollar is
issued under law declaring that the
maximum coinage shall not exceed
S3,000,000 per month. There is no
free coinage of silver, as there is of
gold. Our Government buys its silver
bullion at the market price, stamps il
into dollars, receives them in all its
transactions. and guarantees their value
as the equal of the gold dollar, just as
t it does with the greenbacks. There is
no particle of possibility that it will
enter into an unlimited, much less a
free, coinage of silver at its present
varying rates to gold The assump.
ton that congress will ever allow thi;
coin to be so over-issued as to cause its
depreciation is entirely gratuitous
There is no rational or historical
ground for it. 1t is as unlikely as thai
the earth should be driven from its orbit

cost of returning them to the United
States. They would be bought greed
ilv at two per cent discount in Montreal
or Toronto. 1t would be equally true
to say that American greenbacks would
be utterly valueless in a foreign coun-
try because they have no intrinsic value.
AS matter of fact gold will be given
for greenbacks in any European bank
at a small discount. Europe has con-
stantly to remit money TO this country,
and European bankers will buy any of
our legal tender money, or even ma
tional bank notes (Which are redeem
able in greenbacks) at a discount sufli-
cient to cover the cost of transmission
with trifling addition in the way of a
bankers commission-which last would
also have to be paid for exchanging
American gold for the legal tender coin
of foreign country.
I" AT present silver dollar will buy
as much as gold dollar in this coun-
try because but few are in circulation
but if the coinage goes on gold will be
driven out of circulation, and the silver
dollar of eighty-fve cents value will be-
come the basis of our currency" II
by this it is meant Gas unquestionably
it is) that any probable issue of the
silver dollars would reduce their eX.
changeable value to their bullion value
the statement is false one SO long
as the United States is believed by the
capitalists of the world to be entirely
and promptly good for the difference
between the bullion value and the legal
tender value of the silver dollar, there
can be no depreciation of them, other
than the slight one spoken of above
1t is true that if we are willing to sup
pose our government will go into al
unlimited and unguarded coinage o.
silver while its bullion value remains
less than its legal value, some such re
suit might be expected. in time. 1t il

for the hill country, we know of no va
riety equal to the Sanford corn. In
good year the ears would glaze in Stowe,
and by carefully drying in warm room
they would make good seed. We should
never SOW it nearer than three and one
half feet apart in drills, dropping two
kernels every six or eight inches. This
will take about half bushel to the
acre, and you will get more nutriment
that way than by thick sowing, for
nearly every stalk will have good ear.

Then lay foundation of dry wood,
with sufficient kindling, and pile on the
bones, interspersed with about an equal
bulk of dry hard wood, making some
what conical pile. The bones have so
much grease in them that when well
heated they make hot fire, and if care
is taken to throw those around the
edges, which do not get burnt white,
upon the top of the pile as the burning
goes on, they will all burn white and

block of hard wood, sawn square at the
ends, with a handle inserted in hole
bored in one end. A sieve with about
ten meshes to the inch must be used to
sift out the fine bone from time to time
until at last not usually more than five
per cent is left in Jumps too large to &C

Financial BigOtry.

Will you inform a reader why the coinage
of silver dollars should be discontinued,
and 1Chy silver dollar is only worth eighty
five cents? Here a silver dollar buys one
hundred cents worth of debts, the same as
dollar in gold. J. HIP.
The actual value of the silver con-
tanned in the standard dollar is eighty
five cents, or thereabouts. If those dol
lars are exported to foreign country
they will buy only eighty-five cents
worth of goods, whereas a gold dollar
is worth one hundred cents the world
over. AT present silver dollar will
buy as much as gold dollar in this
country, because few are in circulation,
but if the coinage goes on gold will be
driven out of circulation, and the silver
dollar of eighty-five cents value will
become the basis of our currency. This
is why the silver coinage should be
stopped.
One would hardly suppose that a
purely practical science, like finance,
could be subject of bigotry so intense
as to blind the mind of an honest writer
to the absurdity of the statements con-
tanned in the above extract, from, the
Question Column of the Ne,o York EG-
aniner. The writer is ignorant of, or
wilfully ignores, the plain distinction
between the precious metals as mer-
chandise, and metallic money. This
distinction is always and everywhere
recognized by all writers on finance
