Ensilage.

The process of preserving forage
by means of silos, is just now receiv-
ing much attention among intelli-
gent farmers throughout the coun-
try. W. pulish a very interesting
article on the subject on our first
page, from the pen of our enter
prising fellow-citizen, Maj. Garrett.
Our columns are open to it's dis
c~ussion, and we trust they will be
freely used, for we feel that we
could do the people nc greater ser
vice than to be able in any degree
to show our farmers the ruinous
policy of having their meadows on
the high-priced and expensive
farms of the North and West. The
writer was travelling through one
of our richest eastern counties a few
years ago. The Spring had been
unusually wet, as a result, bad stands
of corn, and an abundont crop of the
finest grass. He saw negroes "wad-
ing waist-deep" through as fine
grass as ever grew, to reach the
scattering stalks of corn to get the
fodder. One of them, with a good
grass blade, could have saved more
and better hay in one day than the
whole ten were able to get from the
corn. We learned that the owner
of the farm had paid, that year, as
high as $50 per ton for Northern
hay! We were fully prepared to
believe the statement, when we
heard the next year, that the man
had failed, and that his former
overseer had become the owner OF
the farm.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER will
welcome the discussion of any
method which promises to relieve
our people of the idea that they
should pay $3.50 per hundred for
hay, which they can produce at
home for % cents per hundred.
We hope to be favored with the
experiences Of DR.. Benbow, Eof
Greensboro; DIR. r. II. Lewis, and
DIR. T. J. Hogg, of Raleigh, and
others who have tested the system
thoroughly and, as we learn salts
factorily. It is a matter worthy
our earnest thought and inyestiga-
ton.

We mail this week copies of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER to several thou
sand representative farmers, the list
embracing every county in the State.
ALL the type and other material is
entirely new, and the quality and
weight of the paper used is certain
ly not equalled by any publication
IN the State. 1t will give to it's
readers, each week, not less than
than twenty-five columns of reading
matter-never allowing the increase
in advertising to trespass on these
columns 1t will be enlarged, if ne
cessary, to meet any demands from,
our advertisers. Our purpose is tt
make it such a paper that it will beh,
necessity in the familyof every farjl
err in the State. H.
The success, and permanent flc-
cess, of such a paper in North GIRO
lima, it would seem, could nq be
questioned when we reflect tat Of
a list of about one hundred AM fifty
papers published in the State I'LL de-
irving their support chiefly finn the
industrial classes, there is Ut one
weekly among them devoteJfpecial-
ly to their interests. We beffve the
people teel and appreciate the eces-
sity for such a paper. and se have,
therefore, determined to place, if
possible, at least four thousand sub
scribers on our list by tae first of
January, 1887. Can it bsdone? If
each one to whom we nail a copy
this week would only sesure one sub
scriber the list would exceed that
number in less than fhirty days!
Will you not try to send us at least
one? Make just thisbne effort, and
thus establish a paper on assured
success which wilI represent the
great interests of OR State and peo-
pie. Let each retder present us with
a subscriber.

Cur Correspondence.

S.-Your article we'll written and the
many pleasant things as pleasantly said
are warmly appreciated, but cannot pub
lish it.
Sol. EAsY.-Ideas good, but style OF
expression Objectionable. In mimicry OF
burlesque, anything short of success is
a horrible failure. Be yourself, be
natural and you will succeed.
l.. T. F.-Article too long. Besides you
are too fond of theorizing. This is a prac.
teal age. Our readers want facts. If YOU
have produced an extra yield of Potatoes,
Corn, Wheat, Hay, Cotton, Tobacco, &c,
tell us how you did it and stop. One such
fact is worth ten columns of theory as To
how it might be done.
j. A. I've send you specimen copy
and tender to you sincere thanks fdT
your kindly interest in the PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. Yes, we want al agent in
every village and town and city in the
State. We should have at least twenty
subscribers at your Office. Send them
along-will make it pay you.
T. A. W.-We begin in this issue to
give interesting information on the sQb-
iect. and from most reliable sources. See
article on first page-Tobacco, how to
manage it, &c. We intend to supply our
readers with the best methods we can
possibly procure.
j. W Are you going to tell us IN
the PROGRESSIVE FARMER how to rise

on first page. We will give in detail
from time to time all the best information
as to its management "from the plant

last year almost entirely the ex-

earned $4,000 besides by manual
labor. The Blacksburg College had
last year 1872 students and thirteen
professors.
The course of study is very thor

in the recitation rooms, there is a

Institution, for illustrations of crops

Students pursuing the Agricultur-
al Course are required to assist in
the field and garden work as a part
of their training.
The college Shop" is provided
with engine, lathes, planer, saws,
mill, etc, ETC., and students in the
Mechanical Course are required to
work in the shop and become famil

to 1un the engine with skill and
safety. In short the Professors say

Land Scrip has been appropriated

Virginia. In our next issue we pros
pose to show how it has been man
aged in North Carolina and in the

classes of our State, The PROGRESSIVE
