WE shall never be too old to learn,
and we invite the attention Of our
farmer readers, to the result of an ex-
pertinent of Mr.. Geo. MillingtOn, of
Dover, that we described last year,
Mr. Millinglon, proprietor of the Cap
itol Hotel, huilt II silo on his farm
near Dover, last summer, in which he
packed almost thirty tons of green cut
fodder-corn, at cost of about 81 per
ten. This month he opened up his silo
aud began feeding the ensllage to his
cattle. 1t was found to have kept per-
fectly, being as green and sweet as the
day il was packed. His stock eat it
readily. We saw some of the ensilage
a few days ago. We should judge it
far superior to hay, while the cost is
not near so great. Farmers would do
well to pattern after Mr.. Millington,
who is one of most enterprising
farmers.

THERE is serious talk of building a
large room in Milford, suitable for
almost any purpose of public meeting.
The building proposed is $50 feet long
by so feet wide, with is foot ceilings.
In one end there would be stage and
dressing rooms, and the floor would
be very strong, so that it could be
used as a skating rink. The Torbert
Guards would have ample space for
drill in room of this kind, and for
festivals, etc, it would just fill the
bill. 1t is proposed to place it on the
lot of ground in the rear Of VIM. T.
Watson's brick block. The location
will require filling, but it can be put
in good shape for moderate cost.
Something of this kind is needed, as
the present Hall will pay the owner
better if it is partilioned off into sleep
