How to Fill the Silo.

When the whole work is slapped
right into the silo, all the work of
husking, carting to mill, grinding,
carting back to the farm and feeding
out the meal is avoided, and it is not
any more work to put up the ensilage
in this way than it is where only the
stalks alone are ensilaged. Of course
ensilage made from field corn, with the
ears on, will have a much higher feed
ing value than if the grain were
separated. If the crop is put in the
silo before the kernels and cobs be-
come hard, they will be softened up so
that every bit will be eaten, especially
if cut into half-inch lengths, more or
less. Isn't this the handiest way OF
utilizing the corn crop, all things con-
sideredP Nor do we see why as good
results should not be obtained as by
the old plan of separating the ears and
feeding the grain in the form of clear
corn-meal or cob-meal. Western farm
ers who have prdcticed this method
think they get fully as good results as
where the dry meal is fed separately,
especially on fattening cattle. Our
readers who have had experience ia
this particular are invited to state at
once and briefly the advantages and
disadvantages of this "-.tem Form

Bismarck's Weighing Machine.

Close by the side of Prince Bis
marck's bath is a weighing chair COW
cred with red velvet of the most mod
ern construction, and the great Ger
man Minister never fails to ''try his
weight at least once day, or to
record the result of his trial in the
small diary he keeps attached by a
string to the arm of the weighing chair
for the purpose. There was a time
when the Prince scaled the somewhat
Gargantuan weight of two hundred
and forty-seven pounds, but much has
happened since then" as his late friend
Lord Beaconsfield once remarked.
And among other things the Prince has
taken not to ''Banting," but to a more
recent system of dealing with ones
''too, too solid flesh" Thanks to de-
termined perseverance in the system,
the German Chancellor was recently
able to announce at the breakfast table,
in a tone of triumph, that he that
morning only weighed one hundred and
ninety pounds. Europe, which has
such a deep interest in Prince Bis
marck's continued life and good health,
will do well, if possible, to secure for
information a daily return of the
weights recorded in the Chancelor's
little diary.-LOnd0n Figaro.

Fat and Animal Heat.

"Animal heat must be maintained in
order to secure health and thrift, and
the advantage of keeping animals ar
officially warm in winter is very clearly
illustrated in the summer. If in win
ter an animal has an insufficient supply
of warmth or rather is exposed to the
cold, it draws heavily upon the fat of
the system to maintain a necessary de-
gree of heat, the same as the farmers
supply of fuel is more heavily drawn
upon in severely cold weather, and so
if not added to will in time become
exhausted. But in the summer, when
the heat is more nearly that of the
normal heat of the animal system,
the food consumed is stored up and the
animal becomes fat-a result illustrat-
ed again by the farmers fuel supply,
which will increase rapidly if added to
daily in summer, because none is re-
required to heat his dwelling. This
idea the Swiss seem to understand full
ly in the construction of their stables,
which are very much warmer than
those of average American farmers.
Under ordinary circumstances animals
will preserve a good, if not fat, con-
dition with usual feeding; and the fact
that they will fatten during the sum-
NOR demonstrates the Importance of a
due regard to a proper maintenance of
temperature during the winter. Chris

POLISHING AGENTS.
Powders Adapted for Work Which Re
quires Careful Handling.

Powders Adapted for Work Which Re-
quires Careful Handling.
Prepared chalk and crocus are some
times used as polishing agents. The
former is manufactured by adding a
solution of carbonate of soda to a So
luton OF chloride of calcium, so long
as precipitate is thrown down. Both
solutions should be carefully filtered
through paper before being mixed and
dust should be strictly excluded.
The white powder which falls down
is carbonate of lime. or chalk, and
when this is carefully washed and
dried it forms a most excellent polish
ing powder for the softer metals. The
particles, though exceedingly small,
appear to be crystalline, for they pol
ish smoothly and quickly, though they
seem to wear away the material so
little that its form or sharpness is not
injured to any perceptible degree.
Another good polishing powder is
crocus or rouge. 1t is made by taking
crystals of sulphate of iron (green
vitrol or copperas) direct from the
cystalizing vessels, if possible, so as
to have them very clean, and instantly
putting them into crucibles or cast-iron
pots and exposing them to heat. The
smallest particle of dust should not be
allowed to get mixed with the crystals,
as it would have a tendency to scratch
the articles to be polished.
Those portions which are least cal
cined and are of scarlet color are fit to
make rouge for polishing gold and
silver, while those which are calcined
or have become red purple or plush
purple form crocus fit for polishing
brass or steel. Of these, the plush
purple colored parts are the hardest
and are found nearest to the bottom of
the vessels, and consequently have been
exposed to the greater degree of heat.

Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from W. H. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago was taken with a
very violent pain in the small of my back.
1t was SO severe that / could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. finally found out it was lumbago.
Being entirely helpless, friend sent to a
druggist and got two ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other.
In half an hour, to my great delight and
surprise, found the pain began to abate.
In two hours 1 was able to walk out and
attend to my business, the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for week.

In order to have your children in
terested in farm work you must give
them an interest in its products. Boys
or girls who have piece of land, or a
few chickens, swine, sheep, or other
creatures, that they can call their own
and enjoy the profits of, will take
vivid interest in farming. And as the
years go on, the interest which the
young people will take in the farm will
be in proportion to the interest they
have in the profits.
Nodded Graham: Make mush by
stirring graham -four slowly into boil
ing water; it must not be too thick;
cook ten minutes, using the mush stick
as little as possible. Then stir in a
few spOOnfuls of milk or cream, and
also cup of fresh dates, cook two
minutes longer, taking care not to
scorch in the bottom. Pour into a
mold or cups wet with cold water, and
set it away till cold.
-Spiced Beef: For round weighing
twenty pounds, rub with "a desert
spoonful of saltpeter, on both sides,
and let it remain over night.
Then take a soup-plateful of salt, a
tablespoonful of ground cloves, one of
allspice, and one of cayenne pepper.
Rub the beef every day with table,
spoonful of it, until it is used, and turn
each day. Boil it in nearly enough
water to cover it. Eat cold, cut in
thin slices.
The season of haying and harvest
taxes the strength of the good wife,
and calls for consideration and assist
ance from the head of the house. The
inventor has come to the rescue of
man, and the horse and machine does
about all the muscular work of these
busy seasons, but inventive genius has
halted at the door of the house, and
the wife works on in the old way, with
few exceptions. The husband may,
therefore, very appropriately expend
some of the muscle once used in swing
ing the scythe or cradle, in carrying
in the wood, drawing the water, or
rocking the baby.

that at that time all remedies for the blood,

IT has been well said that Hypocrisy is
a sort of homage that vice pays to virtue"
1t seeks to ape virtue that it does not
possess, and in the effort confesses the
value and superiority of the virtue. The
best way is to have the virtue, and thus
supersede the necessity for the hypocrisy.
