RISING SUN. CECIL COUNTY. Md. FRIDAY, AUGUST g

all of the cover off, and take off evenly
from all over the pit. The feeding
would be much faster than any posi-
bility of a chemical change in the sur
face of the silage. A neighbor Of mine
feeds from silo % feet square, with nc
danger from such large exposed sur.
face.
"Filling the silo has now been reduc
ed to ..science," and it seems to have
given the best satisfaction to all is the
undisputed claim of this "best way.'
The filling each day should be left to
heat up to 1859 before adding more
fresh silage. The reason is that heat
is needed to kill the yeast germs of fer.
ment which, if not destroyed, would
carry the ferment on to the acetic, OF
vinegar stage. This heating does two
important things: develops heat to kill
the germs Of ferment, and mild form
of carbonic acid gas is developed that
expels the air, and makes plank covers
and weights unnecessary when the silo
is filed.
A few years since the "learned men,
set up great laugh when Manley Miles
said the way was to allow these "germs
of ferment to cook themselves to death
by their own heat" "That these germs
of scetic acid could evolve heat up to
the point of self.destruction," was not
in the books. they said, but DR.. Miles
was right, and all of these same fellows
are now busy with the clear explana.
tion Of how it is accomplished. The
farmers had faith in DR.. Miles, and his
plan is now the universally accepted
idea in silo.filling and sweet ensilage
is the result"

Young Hogs for Profit.


Armour & Co. Of Chicago, write
under date of June 22d last: :"For the
English market we prefer light thin
hogs, averaging 1s0 to 180 lbs. The
shrinkage on these hogs would be 20 to
% per cent from live to dead weight.
Age from six to eight months. 1t is
very difficult to get them lean enough,
especially at the present time.'
Thomas Harris & Son, large packers
of Wiltshire, England, after expressing
preference for the large Yorkshire,
either pure bred or crossed, say they
want ia good long, deep.sided pig,
plenty of hair, large bone; if the pig
shows the two latter points it invariably
means good proportion of lean." Age
preferred, about eight months; weight
about 100 pounds.
Some interesting details are furnish
ed by the firm of VIM. Davies G Co.,
Toronto, July 10th, who slaughtered,
in 1887, 3O,344 Canadian hogs, and
80, ,l13 purchased in the United States.
The latter averaged 176 lbs. Figures
are given to show that "the difference
in cost of feeding the wrong breed over
the right one is probably one cent
pound on the pork" and that "every
pound of pork made by the farmer after
ITO lbs. per hog means less profit"
We make the following extract from
their letter:
"We have been actively engaged in
the business of packing and curing for
export, as well as for the home trde. tor
upwards of 80 years, and therefore
should be in position to express an
opinion on what is wanted both abroad
and at home. While few years ago
the demand was almost entirely for
heavy fat pork, the public taste seems
to have undergone complete change.
The demand is now almost exclusively
for light feshy meat. We have been
preaching from this text for the last ten
years, but with only partial success. As
a consequence, Canadian farmers not
thinking attention to this matter worth
their while, other countries, such as
Germany, Denmark and Ireland, are fast
driving Canadian and American bacon
out of the English market. We have
made careful inquiries regarding the
most desirable breed of hogs for bacon
purposes, and find that the Large York
shire White is far better than any other
breed that can be had. Our senior,
Mr.. VIM. Davies, is breeding these on
his Guernsey farm. He is Berkshire
man, and naturally preferred the breed
of his native country but of late years
the decided change in the public taste
for lean pork end bacon, as reflected in
the pork markets, has compelled him to
abandon them"
No branch of farming would pay bet
ter than to devote clover field to
growing this class of hogs, or rather
pigs from spring to fall.
A comfortable pen for the brood sows
in winter with an acre of parsnips for
green food in March, or sweet ensilage
and the pig crop would prove the most
profitable on the farm.

A WOman's Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its clut-
ches upon her aud for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of US
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption and was SO much
relieved on taking fisst dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle
has been miraculously cured. Her

You can't get cider from a dried

You can't get good milk unless the
COWS get plenty of clean. fresh water to
drink whenever they want it.
Warm water bathing is the best
remedy for capped udder in a COW;
after application it should be wiped
dry.
From recent tests at tho English
dairy, show, the evening milk is
proven to contain more solids than the
morning milk.
Be certain that there is plenty of
water where the cows are turned out to
pasture. Clean, pure water is indes.
pensable to milch COW.
Let your milk thoroughly cool
quickly in clean, sweet cold water, and
will not be spoiled afterwards by
iheat, during seasonable period.
A cross COW should be disposed of
as soon as possible, lest the herd be
permanently injured.

Chief Of Police IT,. Cuddy returned
from his trip to the north last evening in
good health and spirits. He said that he
enjoyed his brief absence very much ;,
although the weather was cold and
windy around the San Francisco bay.
He visited San Quentin while away and
saw there some of the convicts sent north
from Los Angeles, and he devoted con-
siderable of his time in looking into the
manner of the conduct of the Police De-
partment and Sheriff's Office of San
treatment from all the officers at the.

held quite reception at the Police Sta

That free whisky plank proves to be a
milestone about the neck of the Repub-

be maintained on salt, lumber and

with.-[Cincinnati Enquirer, (Dem.)
The Republican party outside of New

The American people have never been
much given to electing shortmen to high
Office. John Adams, his son Quincy, and
Martin Van Buren were the shortest of
our Presidents, and they stood 5 feet 8
inches. Harrison drops one inch under
this, Polk was feet 9, and Pierce S feet
TO-. All the rest from Washington to
Grant were feet or over. Grant was s
feet 8, and the Presidents since his time
all exceed his stature. In will be found
on investigation that Harrison is too
short to reach. Chicago Herald.

the rumor that he has been missing,
that he has left his partners deeply

away srom there any large sum of money,
or that he has been guilty of any irreg-

contrary he says that he has been regis

three weeks past, and been in daily nego-
tiations with leading men here, and
had about made arrangements for &C.
curing enough capital to take up the out
standing Indebtedness here. Moreover
he said he has been in frequent COM
munication with Lower, his partner in

THE City Council Yesterday did some

THE City Council yesterday did some
practical work in the line of providing
Los Angeles with bridges, long needed
desiderata hereabouts. They have ac-
cepted the bids of the California Bridge
Company to put up four bridges at an
outlay OF $135, 900. They will be elevated
iron structures aud those at Downey
avenue and First street will be
provided with viaducts. The present
First street bridge will be moved to
Seventh, and substantially improved.
A new bridge will be thrown across
the river at Ninth street. The ex-
pense to the city of these needed i'm
provements, will be reduced to $4,000,
the California Southern Railroad contri-
buting $25, 900 and the Gable Railroad
Company $40, 900, making $65 900 in all.
This will be good news to most of our
people and it is to be hoped that the
bridges will be completed before the
winter rains. The Downey avenue bridge
has already been condemned and the
practical closing up of such an important
means Of communication with East Los
Angeles, Pasadena and the San Gabriel
Valley has been very sensible incon-
venience to our people.

THERE has never been a more logical
arraignment of political organization
than that of the Republican party by the
Prohibitionists. The Temperance ele-
ment of the United States was insulted
by the Chicago Convention in the Bou-
telle resolution. 1t was infinitely weaker
than those of the National Liquor Deal
ers' Convention which met in the same
city in October, 1886. The two set 8 Of
resolutions are instructive. Below we
give the Boutelle:
WHEREAS, The first concern of all good
government is the virtue and sobriety OF
the people and the purity of tie home
therefore,
Resolued,, That the Republican party
cordially sympathizes with all wise and
well directed efforts for the promotion OF
temperance and morality.
1t would be hard to get anything more
namby-pamby than the foregoing. On
the one hand the brewers came out in a
ringing way, avowing their devotion to
temperance and condemning intemper-
ance. There is no uncertain ring to
their utterances. which we here append
Resolved, That we are in favor of both
public and private morality and good
order and popular education.
ReS0lUed, That We most earnestly favor
temperance and most strongly condemn
intemperance. We recognize and admit
the evils that result from the abuse of all
kinds of liquors, and condemn in the
strongest terms every place, by what
ever name known, that encourages OF
permits this abuse.
Now look upon this picture and then
upon that. Any intelligent man can see
that the resolution of the Republican Ma
tional Convention is nothing but cheap
plagiarism of those Of the National Liquor
Dealers. The Republican leaders have
added insult to injury, and they have en-
abled the grand old party to perform the

it may be well to note that the Demo-
