The modes of deaths approach are var

more persons die from diseases of the
Throat and Lungs than any other. 1t is
probable that everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life and
develop, at first slowly and is shown by a
slight tickling sensation in the throat and
if allowed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lungs producing Consumption
and 10 the head, causing Catarrh. Now II
this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed
will in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with promptness; allowing a
cold to go without attention is dangerous
and may lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bottle
of iBoschee's German Syrup. 1t will give
you immediate relief

Dairy Dots. !

When the udder of the cow becomes
hard, prolonged bathing of the udder
with warm water is the best remedy.
Use the water freely, and rub the
udder during the application; then
wipe dry. Itshould be repeated daily
until reliet be given.
1t is generally admitted by the trade
that the restrictions on oleomargarine
have increased the consumption ofgen.
uine butter in all sections, and con.
siderable larger quantity than usual is
needed to meet the wants of the con-
sumers.
The introduction of a thoroughbred
bull of any leading breed among the
cattle Of township will soon increase
the average value of the calves produc-
ed from S. to $40 each, and upward.
1t has long been custom among
the English farmers to feed molasses
to their cattle, both the milking COWS
and fattening beeves, says a writer.
A quart daily given to steer has
been found better than the same value
of any other food, and pint daily
given to COWS with equal benefit. No
doubt sugar is more nutritious than
starch, as it assimilated without any
change, while starch is changed to
sugar in the process ofdigestion. Con.
sequently, the sugar is worth more
than the starch; besides it is very
agreeable to the cattle and thus helps
in the better digestion of the food. 1t
is not surprising then to learn that a
wellknown dairyman who fed half
pint of molasses daily to each of his
cows, found the milk improved in
quality to the extent of about sixteen
per cent, the total solids in the milk
increasing from twelve to fourteen per
cent.

The Grange.

Mortimer Whitehead says: A doz.
years ago, and more, when the Grange
was growing rapidly in membership, it
attracted public attention because of
its possible influence in business affairs
and inpolitics. Many persons viewed
the movement with uneasy apprehen'
sion, for they feared that it would
overturn established order and so be-
come disturber. Later there was
cessation Of growth, and men, wise in
there own conceit, said. ''It has had
its day, it will soon be among the
things that were but are not.'' Fears
and predictions were wrong. To-day
the Grange is silent force, working
benefcently in the interests of order,
peace and the welfare Of people engag.
ed in honest industries that thrive
best when directed by intelligence.
In no instance has it been disturbers
Its influence in politics is greater now
than ever before, but it is not parti-
san nor can it be used to promote the
success of schemes devised by politici.
ans. Without doubt its early growth
was too rapid. 1t gathered within
its ranks persons whe became at once
an element OF weakness; hence that
for time gave rise to forebodings and
checked enthusiasm even among its
most faithful workers. The purifying
process had begun and never stopped
until the Order had lost the principal
parts of its impediments. Then conf
dence began to return, and with it in
creased strength, that hasc ontinued to
increase until the Grange, counted weak
after its losses has becomeSa powerful
factor in shaping AFFAIRS.

RISING SUM- CECIL COUNTY, MD, FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1885

ands of farmers, who are making and
feeding sweet ensilage. The old style
sour or semi.sour ensilage familiar to
J. A. R. has been discarded, and in
filling the silo tie heat is allowed to
rise to 1902 VIII .ch destroys the ferment
germs, and preserves the air-tight con-
tents sweet.
In the early days of ensilage the silo
was filled rapidly and tramped while
filling which prevented the heat rising
above 800. The ferment germs were
not destroyed and consequently sour
ens.lage and an inferior, damaged pro-
duct the result. But the silo partially
filed without tramping and allowed to
stand day before more fodder is added
the heat rises to 1902 and these germs
are destroyed.
IfJ. A. r. followed the formula laid
down for filing the silo when he prac-
ticed the business, his ensilage could
not have been nearly equal to that of
the present time. or we must disbelieve
the best authorities on the subject in
this country and England. Our cor
respondent launches his "protest"
against all this mass of authority, charg.
ing them with "coloring" their state
ments. What motive these men should
have to deceive the public we cannot
conceive.
Prof. Cook did not know why ensil-
age or June grass showed such marked
difference over dry fodder, but suppos-
ed it might be condiment, enabling
the animals to digest and assimiate
better. The fact he admitted, but
owned his philosophy was not able to
find out the reason why. The Prof.
did not claim that it was only a mere
relish, condiment, nothing more. Why
is June pasture superior to dry fodder?
The latter is the former cut and dried
into hay. No one disputes the fact but
no one Can give the reason why. When
our correspondent asserts that there
has been no new process learned within
the last six years of filing silo, he
gives himself away as judge in the
matter. That's precisely what all who
advocate the silo claim and prove
The present process is entirely, almost,
different, both in constructing silos and
in filling them also in raising the corn.
And the gulf which constitutes that
difference is the difference between
success and failure.
In our correspondents answer to who
should build silo, he also answers
who should be farmer in the old
thickly settled states. Those who are
ignorant and do slipshod business do
not succeed in any branch OF farming.
Whatever kind of food will make
milk and butter with milk and butter
cow, will make beef and pork if fed to
beef and pork producing animals.
Those of or readers who have read
the articles recently published in the
JOURNAL on silos and ensilage will
readily see that our correspondent has
failed to keep up with the times. And
practical tests with feeding ensiage has
proven that the scientists were wide Of
the mark when they attempted to prove
by analysis that ensilago or green food
has no more nutritive value than the
same fodder dried. Sweet ensilage and
good grass fed to stock have proved
that they possess great deal more.
Every farmer and dairyman who pro-
poses to keep his stock in the best con.
dition through the winter will provide
himself with silo.]

Haying.

Prof. j. W. Sanborn, in an address
before farmers institute en- the sub
ject Of making hay. says: Grass cut
after the dew is off and during the heat
of the day, is the best, when practi-
cable. To obviate the over drying Of
the surface while the under side re.
mains moist, the hay tedder has re-
placed the tedious hand process. When
the surface Of the grass has dried par,
TALLY, the tedder will shake it up loose
and parity invert it, leaving it in con.
dition to be quickly and readily dried.
When hay yields over one ton to the
acre, the tedder is needed in proportion
as it exceeds that amount. The time
required to properly dry hay will de.
pend upon whether it is stirred, and
upon its degree of maturity. Drying
is but the evaporation of pure water.
The loss that seems to occur is that of
the rich, tender leaves lost in handling
dry foed. Clovor rained upon loses
about seven per cent of albuminoids
and the same amount of carbohydrates.
These materials represent the soluble
and best parts of the plant, and those
which make fodder palatable. To avoid
such loss, NOW after the dew is off, use
the tedder before noon or Immediately
after, and draw at once to the barn,
even in the early period of cutting hay.
All hay drawn is put into one NOW and
trod very compactly, and is much bet.
ter than the old way to put green food
or undried hay in scattered amounts, as
it secures greater exclusion Of the air
and prevents heating.
Timothy cut at visible seed forma.
tion, in good weather, tedder being
used, may be drawn the same day.
Glover needs special care in drying,
otherwise its value is heavily reduced
by the loss of the over.dried leaves
which break off easily, often literally
covering the ground. The tedder can
never be justi6ably used on clover
after the leaves dry SO as to break from
the stems. At this stage it should go
into heaps, and the leaves will absorb
the moisture from the stems and tough.
en- so as to be opened or handled with
out loss. Some allow the clover to
"sweat," as it is called, in heap and
then open. / do not look with espec-
ial favor on the sweating process, as it
occurs through heating and at the ex-
pense of the fodder, but commend
the slow process of partially drying
clover in open cocks, or in greater
mass than it would be in when spread
out in the field. While it will cost
more, it will be worth more, and being
more palatable and nutritious, will be
readily consumed by stock. To sum
up, avoid excessive drying, rains and
dews. Very green hay is not essential
to full feeding value; and as it will re-
quire much care in handling and stor.
ing, it is better, if necessary, to bunch
hay over night and open moderately
and turn, thereby saving dews, loss of
leaves and excessive dryness. By the
use of the tedder, hay cut at the period
advocated in this article may be put in
the barn the day mown, unless for very
heavy yield of, say two or three tons
per acre.
