that our citizens subscribe promptly and

This is one of the grandest enterprises

much opposition. 1t was prophesied that
such structure must fall by its own weight
nearly 100000 pounds, that it could not
resist the pressure Of heavy wind storms and,
finally, that if it proved stable the great mass
OF iron would magnetic everything in Paris.
M. Eiffel met all these objections by going
ahead and building his tower, which is pro-
nounced perfectly safe and visitors to this
feature of the exposition need not fear to
make the ascent. No one can fall out Of the
elevators or off the stairways, and every part
of the structure is protected from lightning.
To give some conception of this tremendous
structure, 1000 feet in height and dwarfing
everything around it into absolute insignif-
cance, Golden Days, from which the cut is
reproduced, describes it as follows:
The Seine, at its base, looks like very small
gutter along footpath the gilt dome Of the
Invalides resembles a pin cushion, and the
Trocadero, opposite, is only visible because it
stands on hill This wonderful tower is Of
cast iron, of pyramidal form, and the ex.
treme height is 1000 feet. 1t rests on four
pillars, which are 322 feet apart, and the arch
has height of 161 feet.
The first story is 1872 feet from the ground,
and has a gallery 48 feet wide, where cafes,
restaurants and waiting rooms have been
fitted up The second story is 450 feet from
the ground, and there is another gallery, 80
feet wide. From this point the tower mar
rows more rapidly, and runs up to what looks
like small point from the ground below;
but there is room enough In the balcony and
cupola for hundreds of people to stand and
look, not only all over Paris, but for a dis
tance of ninety miles in any direction. Access
to the first ora llerv Is had hV fo,1r alaya fore
From this landing the visitor may either go

Producing Potatoes.

The National Farmer reports po-
tato grower as saying that twelve years
ago he started out with the ambitions
of young farmer. He practiced gen.
eral farming and did all the work he
could do. He soon found out his mis-
take, Failing health and stiff joints
were the result of this mistake. But
failures often teach better lesson than
success. He finally took Prof Roberts
advice; and did more brain work and
less muscular labor. And as result
concluded to make specially of one
line-potatoes. He buys no manure,
but plows under clover as fertilizer,
and has no trouble to preserve the fer
tility of his farm in that way. He in
sists on the Importance of working the
ground up loose and deep, and planting
in deep furrows. He observes that
the tubers grow on that part of the
stalk between the old seed and where
the stalk first breaks through the
ground. Hence the importance of deep
planting to afford room for young sets
on the vines. After planting, which

ground thoroughly to keep down the
weeds, and after the potatoes are up he
cultivates with Planet Jr.
A pIow between the rows cuts of
the roots he thinks, and exposes them
to the sun and weather. Of course a
hoe is never used in his potato field.
He also observed that the white grub
attacks the crop every third year. To
avoid these ravages plant this third
year on stubble gronnd. He believes
that the fungus growth that causes rot
begins on the vines and works down
ward to the tuber. He was strength
ened ia this belief by an experience
with frosted vines. The potatoes did
not rot where the vines had been killed
by frost, but in the same field where
the frost did not reach the tubers did

goes over the field with this and Sits
on as little as possible.
He thinks that digging costs too
much, and has not been able to find a
satisfactory digger. With such one
be could raise potatoes at cost Of ten
cents bushel. He uses crates Cor
picking and thinks that they save time
and labor. He would sort in the field
and draw direct to the the cellar to save
future handling. Finally he would
recommend selling when the crop will
bring an average price. If held for
fancy prices the grower becomes
speculator.

Humbugging Farmers.

Prof. |. P. Roberts of the Ithica Ex-
peIimental Station in his bulletin lately
published furnishes some information
for farmers. A highly pulled "Cur-
wins hog POWDER offering for sale a
remedy for hog cholera, recommending
it for butchers, for all who keep hogs,
and asserting that over a hundred
thousand packages have been sold at
twenty five cents package through
the State, which would amount to $685..
000 Farmers by simply looking at it
could not know its composition, but
Prof. Caldwell, having analysed it,
found it to be simply very dirty SAIL
More than three-quarters was common
salt, and the rest chiefly small portions
of copperas, sand, sulphur, gypsum and
charcoal, which are evidently there as
impurities merely. Prof Roberts says
that each man must be his own judge
whether to pay twenty-five cents
pound for it, or $500 ton, and that
similar remedies were used long ago
without checking the disease.
An Economic, Seed Manure" sold
as such at some we'll known seed stores,
was also analysed, and found to contain
nearly the same ingredients and in sim.
liar proportions as the more common
superphosphates. 1t was tried, and
had no sensible effect in starting seeds.
1t was sold at So pound, which is
four thousand dollars ton, and at best,
for any purpose would not be worth in
market more than $32 ton, or a cent
and half pound.
A Concentrated Egg Producer"
mentioned by the last Connecticut bull
letln, was analyzed and its composition
found of no more value than wheat
bran. 1t is sold at retail at the rate OF
$500 ton, and the ingredients it con-
tains are worth in market about one
thirtieth of what they cost. A "Con-
centrated Feed' for domestic animals
generally, is pronounced by the vend-
ers as cure for hog cholera, garget,
worms, &C., and as ga blessing to all
domestic animals 1t is found to be
chiefly wheat and corn, with little
salt, and with as much nutrlment
would be found in market at cost of
about 500 so ton. 1t is sold in three
ton lots at 500 ton, or at retail at
the rate of $l60 ton.
Such attempts as these to impose on
farmers show the Importance of exper-
iment stations, and of their vide cir
culatiou of fertilizer bulletins.

The Reading and Thinking Farmer.

I. B. Terry in an article he furnish

81 have just been reading very in
teresting letter form f. D. Baker who
lives near Boston. He has the volumes
of your paper bound since 1874, and
writes Of just looking them all over to
find out all be could in certain line!
How some old farmers would sneer at
this. But these reading, thinking men
are fast taking the lead. 1t does not
lock we'll for men to sneer and boast
who have simply taken farms, perhaps
that their fathers left them, and which
the latter bought for few dollars from
the government. They have got well
off by the rise in value of their land,
seldom by their own exertions. Our
young men have many of them got
very much harder rows to hoe, and the
chances are all in favor of the studying,
thinking ones.

Experience with Ensilage.

Ihe 10 lowing is Ine SUBSTANCE OF
paper presented at the Chatham Farm
ers' Institute by Mr.. w, A. Deaue
foreman of Col. F. D. Curtis farm
Kirby Homestead.
We had in our silo 68 tons. We
commenced feeding Nov. 9Th.
The first week l fed half bushel to
each COW, morning and night, with an
allowance of hay and grain. After.
wards I gave them the ration which
they now receive, namely, one bushel
in the morning, with two quarts of
buckwheat bran, hay and straw each
alternate day for dinner, and one
bushel of ensilage and two quarts Of
wheat bran tor supper. The cows i'm
mediately began to thrive and look
better under their new food, and are
at the present looking finely. feed
the ensilage after milking. l ind no
difference in their milk as regards
taste, except that it is richer. We are
feeding ensilage to our sheep, and they
eat it up clean and are doing we'll on
it.
In England ensilage is given to
sheep by many farmers. They claim
particularly good results from feeding
it to ewes, both before and after lamb
ing the ewes do we'll, give plenty Of
milk, and produce strong lambs, which
grow remarkably we'll. To show what
effect ensilage has ON butter, last week
we got the returns from butter made
since we have been feeding ensllage;
at the bottom was a note to the effect
that it was too highly colored-yet not
single particle of butter colorlng had
been used. It was nothing more or
less than one of those oit.talked OF
things, namely, trust which has been
formed by the cows and ensilage to
help the farmer produce genuine
art Gle at comparatively low cost. In
conclusion, to show the advantage of
growing fodder corn and preserving it
in silo as compared with the feeding
of hay, I will add few figures which
may be made actual results: One bush
ell of ensilage weighs about 20 pounds;
according to this one ton of ensilage
will feed COW, at the rate | am feed
ing, 40 pounds per day, for so days.
On rich land 1t is easy to grow IL to
IA tons Of fodder oorn ON an acre. A
part of ours produced fully this amount
per acre. Twelve tons per acre would
feed one COW 600 days. One ton Of
hay per acre is large average Of the
yield of hay in this section. A cow
would require for days feeding 20
pounds of hay according to This the
yield of hay from one acre would keep
COW but 100 days. This is main
tenance ration, but as we feed for more
than maintenance to get butter, we give
extra food to make this production.
Which pays the best, to raise an acre
of ensilage or an acre Of hay-ensilage
keeping the COW 600 days. while hay
keeps cow only 100 days?
