SHAME ON It'll

The Teachers Assembly has
invited Ex-President Jeff Davis
to attend its meeting next sum
lner. This fact so stirred
up the bile of a. correspondent
of the North State that he pro-
ceeds in cowardly manner, be-
hind a ron de plume, to villify the
grand old hero-to-dav one of
most venerable and unique
characters in the world. We
suppose this non de plume CORES
pondent must be one of the es-
capped animals from "Kowle's
kangaroo Konvenshun" of '6S.
Shame on it. The Governor
ought to offer a reward for ats
apprehension, so that 1t might
be confined or sent to Canada,
where it would find more escap-
ed animals of the same species.

the following INFO. nation and
opinion from him:
Senator Kerr, OfSampson, is here.

OF the negro exodus is that the
farmers work only four months i'm
the year. In Other words, they do
not work enough. The negroes on
the farm are therefore employed
regularly only from March to
August. The Senator says that the
remedy for this is more work and
steadier work Oh the farms. The
colored Labor needs to be better
directed and more steadily utilized.

SILO AND SiLAGE.
How to Build and Fill Good One at a
Small Expense.

How to Build and Fill a Good One at a
Small Expense.
The wooden silo is now almost ex-
clusively preferred, and needs to have
air-proof walls and be so grounded
that air can not get under the stills or
floor. The sills should be we'll
pitched and sunk into the ground about
their width. This will prevent spread
ing of the foundation. Surface water
should be guarded against, and then
only a floor of pounded-dOwn clay
coming up few inches against the
inside walls will be needed and makes
as perfect a floor as any. The all
above-ground silo is far preferable to
one sunk wholly or in part. The
corners should be made secure. The
studding should be two by eight
inches, set sixteen inches apart. Then
line up inside with common inch
boards, well-nailed to the studding.
Then paper up and down with tarred
paper, well-lapped. Then face with
another layer OF inch boards, the three
being nailed to the studding. Then
paint the silo inside and out with gas
tar or asphalt. applied boiling hot.
If built outside the barn, the silo needs
a roof and the structure looks better
if covered with some cheap siding.
But the spaces between the studding
should not be filled in with any mate
rial like sawdust. tanbark, or the like.
The simple air-space is preferable.
Such a silo rooted and all complete,
will cost 90 cents to $3.50 per ton stor-
age capacity, according to price of
lumber and labor. | am now building
one in my barn. for next season, that
will hold 100 tons and cost about $50.
The best material with which to fill
is corn-the natural crop in all locali-
ties. 1t should be the best and most
vigorous kinds; thinly planted, never
sown broadcast. AS a rule, eight
quarts per acre for large varieties, and
ten quarts for the smaller, put in drills
81 feet apart, and cared for by the
best rules for field corn. will give
best results. 1t should be al
lowed to stand until fully ma
tured-the ears just at the roasting
stage-before silo filling begins. En-
couraging the growth of ears is to pro-
mote development of desirable feeding
qualities. This was my plan last year,
and the silage is more nearly perfect
than ever before. The corn is best
prepared for the silo by running it
through a machine cutting TO half-inch
lengths. Either cut half-inch or two
inches, for benefit of the cattle. With
this very mature corn it is not so i'm
perative that slow filing be observed,
or high heat be developed. The corn
fodder has become so charged with
starch, sugar, etc, that it furnishes
very largely its own preserving ele-
ments, and we now get the sweet
ripened 81 lage with the molasses tlavor
so greedily eaten by the stock and fur
nishing desirable yields of well-bal-
anced milk The silo filed. let it re-
main a few days to settle, develop
some heat, expel the air, and then put
on cover of a foot thick or so of loose
straw, slight weight of old boards ur
rails added to hold the straw down to
mat, and the work of preservation is
accomplished. Cor. n. Y. Tribune.
