Professor Johnson, of Philadelphia, against whom
the charge of plagiarism was lately brought by
The Times" of that city. has published a card on
the strength Of which he asks his accuscr to ex-
onerate him. 1t will be remembered that the
Professor delivered an address on the occasion of
his Inauguration at the Philadelphia High School
containing passage of some two hundred words
which was practically identical with passage in
General Garields Marietta speech. Professor
Johnson states that his address was prepared
without reference to any book or paper; that the
passage in question is the reproduction of an
eeptionally retentive memory" and that he never
owned, had or saw n copy of Gariclds works
until after the publication of The Illness article
In view of this explanation and of his life record
Of personal and literary honesty the Professor
appeals for n reversal of judgment The card IS
frank and manly throughout and carries with it
the conviction Of honesty The Times editoraly
generates him from the charge, expressing its
perfect faith in his explanation. This card APP
peared on Saturday. On that day, possibly with
a view to helping the Professor to establish his
case by showing how easy II is TO charge

CONCERNING SILOS,
Where They Should BE Located and How
They Should BE FILLED.

Where They Should BE Located and How
They should BE Filled.
We have have several silos of brick,
two of concrete and several of wood.
Wooden silos, if properlycconstructed,
will keep silage well and are for the
present cheaper, but not as durable.
The silo should be located where IL
is most convenient for feeding. To
save space in the barn for other pur.
puses. the silos had better usually ba
outside. If silos are properly con.
structed, properly filed when the crop
is in the best condition for cutting, and
properly covered, there should be no
loss worthy of note, .,.
We have used nearly all the crops
grownon the farm, but find corn most
desirable and profitable, clover next; we
prefer for stock q part of each. Corn
should be drilled thin enough to pro.
duce ears, which should be we'll glazed
before cutting. Would leave it lying
in the field one to three days, to wilt
and partially dry before ensilsing; cut
one-quarter inch, pack thoroughly and
see that the corners of the silOs are
we'll filled. We prefer to fill one silo
three or four feet and then change to
another, leaving the first two or three
days to heat. When full and the last
filling has heated, cover with building
paper, ON which place matched planks.
We weight about $50 pounds per spare
foot. but some parties have good sue
cess with very little weight. Clover
should be cut when nicely in bloom.
1t can be put in the pit and kept
nicely without running through the
cutter, but it will require less room in
silos and probable will give better
satisfaction to cut it.
Corn silage can be made at from
$l.25 to 81 per ton. according to value,
condition and production of the land.
Nearness of the crop to the pit has
much to do with the expense.
Glover will cost somewhat more than
corn. The feeding value of an acre of
good corn silage We Judge to be fully
equal to that of three acres of clover
hay from land OF tine same quality,
either for milk or beef
lt NuluS vi 1ioNoi WASh pTOptFlY
ensiloed is, we judge, increased rs to
100 per cent, over the same crop as
ordinarily made into hay. We feed
with silage about one-third hay, and
when feeding for quantity of milk We
feed wheat bran, and ground oats, 10
to 10 pounds per day; in winter when
the cows are in full flow, and when
testing for butter we change the feed
to one-third each corn meal, wheat
bran and ground oats. We have fed
silage largely for eight years, and have
never seen amy injurious effects from
its use. The silo is destined to revo-
lutionize the dairy and cattle breeding
