At the fifth annual Ensilage congress,
which met in New York Wednesday
night, the opening address was read by
George &. Smith of st. Adams. Mr..
Smith gave his personal experience with
ensilage on his two farms at st Adams.
He said | have fed my stock on ensi-
lage for the last six years, and to-day they
are in splendid condition. From the 20
acres OF land that planted with corn
obtained last year 1900 tons of enslage.
To make ensilage that will produce the
best butter the corn should be planted in
bills from four to six inches apart, and
then carefully cultivated. In this way
we raised 2714 tons to the acre last year.
and hope to raise 40 tons next year. The
total cost per ton of blowing, planting,
cutting and putting in silos was - cents
per ton, The corn should be cut when it
is beginning to glaze and the weather is
dry. After being put in the silos it should
be carefully tramped down, especially
around the edges, and then should be
weighted SO us to exclude the air. | use
22O pounds weight to the square inch. My
ensiaGe is cut three-eighths of an inch in

one of the most wonderful mrteoric
displays ever witnessed In the Adiron-
dacks occurred one afternoon recently.
The meteor was first observed near the
foot of Rainbow Lake, and was heralded
by three reports like those of cannon, in
quick succession. The meteor passed
rapidly eastward, with slight inclination
toward the earth and only short distance
away, continuing To give reports, similar
to the first, at intervals Of about quarter
of minute and lasting fully three min
utes. The meteor resembled Il ball of fire
as large as II barrel, followed by lumiu-
Gus tail several yards in length and emit
ting continuous puifs Of smoke which,
hoating in the air, marked it's progress for
several minutes after the meteor, had APP
parently buried itself in the forest at the
foot of Whiteface mountain. There was
u continuous roar like thunder, intensified
by the reports before alluded to- What
1t was, where it came from and where it
went to are problems.

of August and countless meteors falling
from the skies attest the fact that the
earth is then plunging full tilt through
the swarming atoms. Last year there
was an unusually fine show of the Per-
sids, as they are called. 1t is well to be
on the watch for the coming occasion,
for such is the uncertainty Of operations
in the cometic family that grand out
burst is not impossible at any time
Therefore, observers should diligently
watch the northeastern sky and the con-
stellation Perseus. the radiant point
about which the meteors congregate.
The earth will plunge into the meteor
zone as surely as she turns upon her axis,
and if the fiery shower is unusually
brilliant. observers will be on hand to
see the exhibition and count the meteorS
as they fall. Only those that start from
Perseus are Persids. The sky is aglow
with other meteor streams, radiating
from other consultations. for more than
million meteOrs, large enough to be
visible to the naked eye on a dark, clear
night, fall from the sky every a hours.

SIGNED.

President Cleveland has signed the
oleomargarine bill. though he apparently
feels as if he oughtn't to have done 50.
and sends Il long message to the House
to explain his reasons. which are strong
ones, and should have weight even with
his enemies. He says in the course of
the message:
If this article has the merit which its
friends claim for it. and if the people of
the land with full knowledge of its real
character, desire To purchase and use it.
the taxes eNacted by this bill will permit
Il fair profit to both manufacturer and
dealer. If the existence of the commo-
ditY taxed and the profits of its manufaC-
ture and sale depend upon diSpo>ing of

it dcccittully initiates. the entire enter

est of fair dealing. Such result would
not furnish the first instance in the hiSto-
ry of legislation in which revenue bill
produced n benefit which was merely in
Cidental to its main purposes. There is
certainly no industry better entitled to
the incidental advantages which may fol-
low this Legislation than our farming and
dairy interests. and to none of our people
will they be less begrudged than our
farmers and dairymen. The least impor-
tant incident related to this legislation j.
the defence afforded to the consumer
against the fraudulent substitution and
sale of the imitation for the genuine ar
ticle of food of very general household
use. Notwithstanding the immense guam

DEATH OF SAMUEL j. TlLDeN.

\ Ionkers On. W associated press
dispatch of Wednesday says: samuel
j. Tilden died peacefully at Greystone
this morning at Il quarter before 9 o'clock.
There were present with him Drs. Chas.
+. Simonds and Samuel Swift and his
niece. Miss Gould. His death was en-
tirely unexpected. The cause was failure
of the heart, following an acute attack
of diarrhpa and nausea. Mr.. Tiden was
born in New Lebanon, Columbia county,
this State. February 9, 1914, and resided
with his father. Elan 1ilden, a farmer
and merchant, until he matriculated at
Yale in 1893, but remained there but a
brief period when he entered the univer-
sity of New York. whence he graduated
He was admitted To the bar in 1911, and
early attained prominence aS IA lawyer,
but soon began to take a strong interest
in politics. and in 1914 became part pro-
prietOr and editor of the NOiUiHg Ne,rS, a
journal established to advocate the cleo
tiOn of James X Polk to the presidency.
He was elected delegate to the State con-
stitutiona convention of 1916. in which
body he was member of the COM
mittee on finance and canals. Mean
time he had resumed his law practice,
which became very extensive and
lucrative. But Mr.. Tilden's taste for
politics continued. and in 1866 ne was
made chairman of the Democratic State
committee. The same year he was chosen
a delegate to the constitutional ConVen-
ton which was held at Albany in 1867.
He was afterward vigorous advocate of
judicial and political reform in the city
of New \ ork and was especially vigorous
in pursuing the Tammany ring, and
rendered invaluable service in exposing
the frauds perpetratcd by William NJ.
Tweed and his associates. In 1874 he
was the Democratic candidate for gov
euor of New York and was successful by
a plurality of 50.3l7 over John y. Dix.
During his term "a governor he waged
ware upon the canal ring. which was
broken up by his aid. In 1876 he was
the Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency in opposition to Rutherford b.
Hayes. Since 1876 Mr.. Iilden has been
practically retired from both husines,
and politics. But Mr.. 1'ilden's hold upon
the confidence of his party was never
broken. His secluSiOn was frequently
invaded by Democratic leaders anxious
to obtain the benefit of hi, counsel and
advice in emergencies. He was a power
in the land even to the end of his career
The last occasion upon which he claimed
general public attention was when he
wrote his letter urging the adoption of
efficient measures for the defense of ouI
unprotected Seaboard cities from possible
hostile assault. His views of that sub
iect were sound and patriotic. Mr.
Iilden was bachelor and leaves most OF
his large estate 10 collateral heirs.
