the thrifty appearance of the trees and the
total absence of any sign of gophers. On in
quiry, Mr.. Marcus informed me that few
years since the gophers we're very numerous
in the orchard, and made sad havoc among
the trees, nearly destroying them. Having
previously observed that the ground mole
would not work in or near manure heaps,
he came to the conclusion that
manure placed about the roots of his
trees might possibly prevent the depredations
of the gopher The result more than met
his expectations. Since he has commenced
putting manure about the roots OF his trees
not a gopher has been seen, nor even the
sign of one besides. the trees have been
greatly benefited by this manuring. Mr.
Marcus says be simply digs away the soil
from the trees, and places few forksful OF
stable manure around the trun Ks OF the trees
and covers it over with the soil. If there is
more manure than can be conveniently
covere d, he spreads it about the trunk of the
tree. By this simple device he has not only
driven these pests from his orchard, bat
greatly benefited it by enriching the soil.
Mr.. Marcus deserves gold medal for max
ipg this discovery. And it affords me much
pleasure to be able to give it to the public
through the columns of your widely ex'
tended journal, which find in nearly every
household where / 90.

She Standard says: mr.. Hebbun, Pres
byterian missionary in Japan, is rather SAN
guine in regard to the hold Christianity has
obtained upon the people of that country.
He doubts whether missionaries will be
needed there fifteen or twenty wears hence,
and thinks that il even all the foreign mis-
scenarios were expelled at once, the work
would be carried forward by the natives. 1t
ary upon the ground is thus sapguine. and
though we may not coincide with his views,

Good Mi1k From FnsIlage.

A London paper says: Efforts are being
made to throw discredlt on the ensilage
system by calling in question the high quail
ity of the milk produced by COWS fed on
Stage. The attack can be easily refuted by
those who have had any experience in feed
ing dairy cows on silsge. In the first place.
all ensilaged products vary in nutritive
quality and general character quite rs much
as hay does The latter substance, il made
from the mowings oil peat morass, would
be far different from the best clover or
meadow grass hay. Just in the same way
would silsge differ in accordance with char
scter OF the original material from which it
as made, which alone shows the extreme
folly any sweeping condemnation OF en-
silaged products generally. But Mr.. Gibson,
the owner of an extensive dairy herd at
Saffron Walden, has abandoned very much

cows, because he finds their milk when fed

fed COWS keep themselves much better in
condition and yield from to per cent.
more cream in their milk, which latter ap-
pears to be quite as rich as that Yielded by
CRASHED COWS in summer. He adds I" To
my surprise found the percentage Of cream
in the milk OF ensilage fed COWS was higher
than that from tbs milk Of cows fed upon
hay, roots, -four and cake" Mr.. George
Barham. manager of the Express Dairy
Company, states that milk to the extent of
400, 600 pounds daily passes under his observa'

INDICATION ABOUT THE TRACKS. The
property-owners on Virginia avenue, in
the vicinity of South Capitol street, are
loud in their denunciation of the Com
mssioners In granting the permit to the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company to lay
a side track into their new depot on that
square. Mr.. u. ID, Wright the counsel
for the property-owners who filed pro-
test against the laying of the track, stated
to reporter of THE CRITIC this morning
that the Commissioners promised TO give
him ample notice before reissuing the per-
nit to the company to lay the track, and
that they not only utterly disregarded
their promise but reissued the permit at
such a time that he could not take action
as q counsel against it, The permit was
granted after the courts had closed ON last
Friday, and as there was no session of the
court on aturday-Decoration day-he
could in no manner procure q restraining
order against the laying of the track. He
will file an injunction against the brew
ing company to-day The citizens of South
Washington irrespective of the vicinity,
have joined in with the professors, and
say that they are determined to test the
authority Oft the Commissioners in grant
ing the permit if they have to carry the
case to the United States Supreme Court.
