Ensilage yer.ns rnsturnce.

In comparing ensilage with pasturage, w. D. Hoard says at the outset that the question is hardly one of latitude or eli mate. It iE, instead, a question of stor- ing and feeding "In Wisconsin" says the authority quoted, we are fast con- ing to the conclusion that the most costly of our feeds is pasturage. The economy of practice must be measured by results obtained and wisdom of expenditure Measured by these considerations, pas turage milk costs us more than any other, taking into the consideration the fact that the average acre of the best pasture will not produce more than 300 to 2,000 pounds of milk, while an acre of corn fodder. put in q silo, will easily pro duce 5000 to 10000 pounds. We find that corn fodder is the most easily, cheaply and safely handled in the silo. The damage from the clements in dry curing is very great, and there Is added the loss or waste in feed ing. The silo, practically. is a sub stitute for pasturnSe, SO far as the suc- culence of the food and quick digestibil- ity is concerned, without it's expense. 2 Every year in Wisconsin witnesses the increase of those who believe and prac- tice partial soiling at least, and they do it through the silo. Now. if it is of the highest economy for us to own no waste land, or land which yields low return; If Ii is of the highest economy for us to get the largest return possible for the value of the food consunied if it is of the highest economy for US to put our land in the most effective shape possible for the use of our animals, does not the same economy appeal to you as power fully as it does to uG?'

HUGE SAND AUGERS.
Description of 2 Curious Wind Phenomenon
 Ci tho P ans.

Desert ption of Q Curious Wind Phenomenon
 Cf tho P ans.
 "A curious phenomenon. said Prof. F. E. Clarke, to Q San Francisco Examiner re- porter, '' is sometimes observed on wide plains where the atmosphere is hot and dry. It is the forming Of miniature cyclones, or rotary storms, which, when occurring on a grand scale, as they do in the Western States, arc known a5 tornadoes.
 When the Union Pacific railway was being constructed inc workmen had ire Quent opportunities of witnessing the for nation ana progress of such whlriwinds, winch, on account of the peculiar action they had on dry soil, were called sand augers.' They werc especially frequent in Lodge Pole Creek Valley, through which the railway, leaving the Platte river, runs northerly to near the base of the Black Hills. This valley is quite narrow-aver- aging about mile in width. and is bounded Oh either side by a range of low, uneven hills.
 ''The first indication of the approach of one of these sand augers' would DC the formation, here and there in the valley, of little whirngigs of dnsty wind, picking up bits of str!w, paper and other unconsidered trides, sometimes waltzing into camp and Girilng with the canvas tents or scattering the emhers and ashes of outdoor cooking

To Have Clean Alfalfa.

Farmers in some portions of the state are having a great deal ot trouble in keeping their alfalfa fields clean from the growth of other plants. The particular trouble about which com plaint is now made is the presence of foX-tail grass in the alfalfa It is said that a large portion oi the hay raised in some sections contains so much of the objectionable growth that the price has fallen 5U per cent below what is paid for the clean alfalfa
 One of the causes for this tro .ble may be found in the parsimony with which alfalfa is otten sowed. While the seed is not 70 high priced as to force economy in it's use, still many will be found who recommend that no more than fifteen or twenty noun Is of seed be sown tc the acre. The re- suit of this unWise economy Is scen m the slender, scattering growth of the alfalfa, which is easily choked out by lOX-tail or other noxious growths. An alfalfa field upon which too little seed has been sOwn is a melancholy spec tacle with its patchwork of good grass | allu MeeuS-lle ldIt6T Olteu ldTSeIy ] predoninating.
 It is pretty poor economy not to SOW i an abundance of seed. Thirty pounds to the acre is none too much, as many a farmer has proved. Mix the alfalfa with barley, SOW it carefully and plen- | tifully, and the result will be the growth of the two plants combined which will efectually choke out any weeds That is the whole secret of ] getting a good stand of alfalfa, and when that Is done there will be no trouble from fox-tail or anything else. Il alfalfa is cut at the proper time no i opportunity will be afforded for weeds Ol any kind to go to seed, even should they manage to get q start. Of course it Is possible that the water for irrigat- ing, when conducted in open ditches, may convey the seeds of weeds upon the alfalfa field. But the latter plant is such q rapid grower that the weeds stand little chance of making headway against it. Occasionally for some reason, portion of the alfalfa plants may die. Some new seed should then be narrowed in, and in this way the stand will always be kept even and the plants so closely together that no weed stands ghost of chance- East Side Shasta county) Times.

 "These baby cyclones would increase in number quite rapidly and then be whisked away by strong currents of air, coming from no one knew where, but all drawing across the val ey towards the eastern range of hllls, over which would then be seen ad- vancing a funnelshapcd cioud like that seen over water-spouts forming at sea.
 ' From the under surface of this low lying cloud . swaying tongue of lead-col- ored va9or lv)uid prOiong itself toward the earth, from which, to meet +, would rise cloud of dirt and sand. This earth-cloud would rise higher and higher, with whirl- ing motion becoming more compact all the whle until the buc-nlGck vapor and the brown mass from below would unite above, and the completed, swiftly whirlIng columns commence slowly down from the hills on its way across the valley.
 While i;3 forward progress was usually slow, tho rotary motion about it's vertical axis would be very rapid; and SO dense would be the mass of sand gathered up by it that, when the column touched the earth, it would scoop out 8 shallow channel like the dry ped of a small stream. Hence, it's name of sand auger.
 The diameter of these augers seldom ex- ceeded 15 or 20 feet at he ground, but therr bulk increased with their height, until they were merged into tho broad surface of the thick, mCrl1ey vapor from the cloud above, from which 'ectric flashes frequently played. When this occurred large haIlstones would be formed, which would be thrown, by cen trifugal force, apparently out from the re- volving storm. They would be found to be, almost invariably, in the shape of fiat discs sometimes three inches in diameter and an inch thick, and made up of layers of ice and sand.

How Can Handles Are Curled.

The DcsDtsed Skunk.

The much despised skunk. says Wick, is good entomologist. and the farmer and gardener make great mistake in prosecuting and destroying this humble little animal. The few eggs he purloins from the farmers hen yard very poorly compensate for the great number of noxious insects he destroys. In May he is sometimes seen, about sundown, on some elevated spot, watching for the May beetle as he wheels his droning flight, and he saves him. too. not in the sense spoken of in the immortal elegy, but be tween his teeth. He will sit an hour at a time gathering in the destructive beetles. He is q persistent hunter, and in his nocturnal ramhlcs moves along with his nose close to the ground: hls sense of smell is 80 acute not an insect, not larva, above ground or below, can escape him: his eyes now glow with un- usual briiliancy as he scaIs every leaf and branch for the hidden prey. About tobacco plantations his services in de stroying the tobacco worms are consid- cred valuable.
