Potatoes keep best in cool, well drained
underground cellars.
The condition of tree when winter sets
in has more to do with its survival intact
than most people imagine. In time in
spect all young fruit and ornamental trees,
and care for them before winter.
Farmers who live on hill farms and de-
pend upon springs and wells for water for
their stock, should see to it at once that
their springs and watering -troughs are in
good condition for winter. Penstocks,
pump logs and water pipes should be made
frost proof, and the laying of pump logs and
water pipes should not be delayed later than
the twentieth of this month 1t draws
good deal on the profits of the farm to be
compelled to drive the cows half mile or
a mile to a stream of water every day dur
ing long severe winter.
The following is a simple French test for
telling whether eggs are fresh or not: Dis
solve two ounces of salt in pint of water.
When fresh laid egg is placed in this sou-
ton it will descend to the bottom of the
vessel, while one which has been laid the
day previously will not quite reach the bot
tom. If the egg be three days old it will
float in the liquid; and if more than three
days old it will float on the surface, project
ing above the latter more and more as it
happens to be lighter with increased age.
There is no better time to do farm work
than in the cool, snlubrious months of au-
tumn. Flowing can best be done during

be repaired and put in order for winter, and

October is a very busy month. Farmers
who use autumn days to the best advantage
will be ready for a successful farm cam

It has been said that 10y the use Of silage
crops we can dispense with the costly root
crops Grain crops appear TO me to he
quite unfit for silage. A mixture Of peas,
beans, oats and tares makes a very suitable
crop for slage, as the oats and beans keep
up the other two plants. II this crop is
thick enough the land from which it is re
moved will be quite free from weeds this
cleanliness is somewhat deceptive, and is
totally different from the cleanliness of a
root crop In the siage crop the weeds
could not grow for want of ligh', but they
still remain while in the preparation for
and after-cuture Of the root crops every
effort is made to terminate and destroy the
weeds. The root crop is said to he costly
crop, and, if we compare the cost with the
value of the food it yields, it is so but
should not the corn crops bear a larger
share of the cost than is generally assigned
to them At all events, | have not seen
my way to substitute silage for root crops,
nor can | say that, where seasons are ia
vorable for hay-making, | see my way into
converting that crop into silage. If, how
ever, silage is only to be made in those sea-
sons when good hay cannot be made it will
be argued that slo is not required, and it
will be better to adopt the stack system.
That there is much greater loss of mate
rial in the stack than in a well-made silo
cannot be denied still, in those cases
where silage is only used when good hay
cannot be made, and the plant may be idle
for possibly two or three years in success
sion, the less capital expended in the plant
the better it will be for the farmer. A good
sio is, | think, indispensable where farm
crops are regularly grown for siage pur-
poses, but under other circumstances the
cheapest method by which the necessary
pressure can be obtained is perhaps the
best.
1t may probably be considered that l have
not selected a good time for my remarks
upon silage. Now, quite admit the value
of silage during the recent wet summer
but the system of farming in any locality
ought not to be altered because one season
is very wet and another season very hot
and dry The average climate of the 10
cality ought to regulate our course of crop
ping.
With a rainfall which averages about 2S
inches per annum and dry atmosphere,
have come to the conclusion that upon my
farm, which is about one half permanent
pasture and one-half arabic, ensilage can
not be adopted successfully as part of the
regular farm crop: but it is of great value
during wet seasons when good hay cannot
be made
If | lived in other parts of the British
Isles. where the atmosphere was moist ant
the rainfall greater, should then place {
much higher value on the process, as
should consider ensilage crops as part of tn,
regular system of the farm.

An English Opinion of Ru.ilaR..

Mr.. j. b. Lawes, writing in the London
Agricultural Gazette, says Last year our
sios were almost empty this year they are
loaded to their full capacity Practical far
mers have never looked with very favora-
bile eyes at the system of ensilage-in fact,
they have looked upon it more as a kind of
plaything, suitable for land owners who
have had farms thrown upon their hands.
1t is said that the last disastrous haymaking
season has caused many practical farmers
to direct their attention to ensllage who
have never done so before. The present
time, therefore, affords good opportunity
for me to draw some general conclusions
from the results of our experiments.
We began to carry out our experiments
on silage in 1884, and they have been con
tinued up to the present time. A good
many of the experiments have been pub
lished, while others have not vet been writ
ten upon The crops which have been used
have been pasture grass, clover, oats and
mixture of beans, peas oats and tares as a
special silage crop. The crops were all
weighed, both in and out of the slo, and
they We're chaifed, one of our great objects
being to ascertain what was the loss of our
food material during fermentation The
silos were built of brick and cement. and
were water tight, The feeding experiments
were carried out either with dairy cows or
fattening oxen. Ihave upon my farm about
30 dairy cows for the production of milk,
which is sold in London, and above 100
head of cattle of various ages The uues-
tons whether silage was good food, and
also an economical food, and whether it
could take the place of hay and roots, were
therefore questions of considerable interest
aud Importance. All our evidence points
to a very considerably larger loss of food in
the silo than there is during hay-making
and the loss appears To be larger in grass
silage than in clover. In one set of exper-
lments where green oats were made into
sllage and were fed to oxen against the
ripe crop cut into chaf, straw, and corn
together, the silage proved so inferior to
the ripe crop that we were led TO think that
much of the starch of the grain, which
when put into the silo was soft, was destroy.
ed during the process of fermentation
As sllage contains a great deal more wa
ter than hay, it is necessary TO calculate
the two substances as equally dry before
we can compare their feeding properties.
Both clover and hay silage are equally good
foods A. clover and meadow hay. As, how
ever, there is larger loss of food in the
sio than in the haystack, less stock can be
kept from an acre Of land when the prod
uct is made into siage than when it is
made into hay. This is, however, assuming
that the hay is not injured by the weather.
