Cutting Fodder and Filling SiIos.

Prof Henry, director of the Experiment
Station, University of Wisconsin at Madi-
son, has caused to be prepared paper
written by the Hon. H. L. Adams, on
Building and Filling the Silos. From
this we extract some portion relating to
cutting the fodder and building the silo,
as follows:
While it is true that ensilage cut fine
may pack somewhat closer than that cut
long, tits doubtful whether there is any ma
terial gain IN the operation; by cutting
fine more of the inner parts of the stalks
are exposed to the air. and perhaps more
fermentation induced than with longer cut
So far as our experience goes there is moth
ing gained by cutting fodder fine instead
of coarse, provided that the cattle eat it
equally well in both cases. The gain in
cutting, which is often very great, comes
mainly from getting consumed that which
would otherwise be wasted. In the case
of ensilage, there being nonecessity of cut
ting the fodder In order to have it eaten,
the length of the cut appears to turn upon
somewhat closer packing, on the one side,
and extra expense of fine cutting on the
other. 1t is recommended that cuts as
long as two or three inches be tried with
some fodder and the results reported. If
such long cuts are satisfactory the expense
of making ensilage will be considerably
decreased. With ample power and good
feed-cutter, it will be more economical to
cut fodder and run it into the silo by a
carrier, than to attempt to Eli with long
fodder.
The carrier should deliver the cut con
as near the middle of the pit as possible,
Until the silo is nearly filled, a chute can
be used to convey the ensilage still further
toward the desired position in the pit.
The chute should have sufficient slant so
that the cut corn slides off readily. By
changing the direction of the chute from
time to time, the labor of distributing the
cut corn can be reduced to the minimum
When corn has reached the proper state
of maturity. it is not necessary that it be
wilted before putting into the silo in order
to make the so-called sweet ensilage; only
the immature fodder needs willing; such
should be wilted from "a to AZ hours. if
possible. before cutting into silo. Varie-
ties that mature, if left until the ear begin
to glaze, can be put into the silo immediate

ely after being cut, with satisfactory re-
suits, provided there is no outside moisture
on the corn as it goes into the silO, nor is
1t necessary to suspend operations every
day to let the ensilage In the silo reach a
certain temperature before filling can be
continued. If the corn Is sufficiently ma
ture. and is cut into the silo without rain
or dew, there need be no fear about the
quality of the enliage. whether put
In slow or rapidly. At the station last
fall we filed a pit with fresh, sufficient
ly matured corn in one day. and had
first-class sweet ensilage. Recent expert
ence has taught that there Is a limit to put
ting dry or excessively-wilted corn into
-silo, beyond which we dare not go. When
| the corn has lost enough water to cause the
leaves to rustic and break In handling, it
does not pack closely enough In the silo to
exclude the air, and on opening the pit. 1t
will be found that the ensilage is fire
fanged and permeated all through with
white mould. There is another reason
why the corn should not be allowed to be-
come so dry, even if there was not trC BILE
about it keeping in the silo; when we put
dry corn into the silo we have lost the sue
| culent feature of the ensilage that makes it
especially desirable. Having once COM
menced to I'LL the silo, the work can be
| crowded right along by observing the con-
| ditions mentioned.
The practice each morning during the
filling, Of removing the cold ensilage from
along the walls and corners. and substitute
ing that which is warm from the middle
of the mass, seems a reasonable one
and worthy of further trial. That it is
not essential however, to good, sweet,
! loo
In case of an accident or break down
it will do no harm to suspend work for
day or two. but If left longer than this,
the ensilage to a depth of two or three
inches usually begins to mould. When
filing is completed, a foot and one-half
of chatfed straw, marsh hay. or corn stalks
will make sufficient covering The use
of weights is now about obsolete. The
silo should be examined daily for a couple
OF weeks, and the covering pressed down
until the settling has ceased.
The question is often asked if one crop
can be placed on top of another In the silo,
providing that the first has only partially
filled it ? Most certainly if one crop, as
clover for example, only partly fills the
sllo. When the corn crop has matured,
the covering of the clover can be removed
or left on as desired. and the other crop
placed on top of it. By filing at different
times much more can be got into the silo
than if single crop is placed therein at
rapid filing. Even with the slow filling,
ensilage settles considerably after the silo is
closed up; with very rapid filing it may
settle as much as two-ffths or even one
half. Under any system it is well to allow
two or three days settling at the least, and
filling up again so as to get in all the feed
possible.

Saving Onions.

A correspondent gives the following
method of saving onions: First, let them
get ripe. This is when the top dies and
next to the onion looks dead. Gather
them when they are perfectly dry and put
them in cool, dry place, scatter them
where the air can pass uuder and above.
The tops should be removed at once. A
pair of sheep shears is the best thing to re-
move them with. Place them with tops
down so they can dry out. If placed in a
cool, dry place where the sun can not
reach them, they will keep until freezing
weather. Never allow your onions to stay
in the sun, as it will injure them. Take
them to your place of keeping from the
patch as soon as gathered.

THE EX-EMPRESS EUGENE.
She Is in Bad Health and Has Long Fits OF
Gloom.

The eX-Empress Eugene, once the gay
and dazzling sovereign lady toward whom
the eyes of all Europe were turned. is said
to be more than usually infrm this season,
says Paris letter, and spends a great
portion of her time in silence and medita-
ton, whether she is lodging in her own
home or is visiting at the mansion of some
friend When her fits of gloom come on
she is capable of remaining sIeeple ss
speeches., without eating, drinking, or
noticing any one around her for twenty
four hours at a time. Persuasion and per-
sistant attempts to bring her to sense of
her surroundings only make her case worse.
1t IS as If she were communing with the
dead phantoms of the past, and as if they
held her attention to the exclusion of all
other things in the universe. When the
fit is over it may be succeeded by one of
devotion, such as only Spanish women can
go through-devotion which seems to
leave the soul PROSTATE. The remnants of
her wardrobe, which she was allowed to
remove from Paris in 1876 and 1877, pro-
duced much of the fortune on which she
lives today and the money which she has
expended ON the imperial mausoleum. Of
furs alone at the time of the empires down
fall, she had S120,000 worth deposited
with The crown fur-keeper, and others
worth as much more with intimate friends.
1t has been estimated that the Empress Eu-
genie possessed at the time of the empire
greatest grandeur 100000 worth of furs.

Substances Liable to Spontaneous Combus-
ton.

Cotton-seed oil will take fire even when
mixed with IS per cent of petroleum oil,
but 10 per cent. of mineral oil mixed with
10 per cent. of animal or vegetable oil will
go far to prevent combustion.
Olive oil is combustible, and, mixed
with rags, hay, or sawdust, will produce
spontaneous combustion.
Dry vegetables or animal oil inevitably
take fire when saturating cotton waste to
$50 deg. f. Spontaneous combustion occurs
most quickly when the cotton is soaked
with its own weight of oil. The addition
of 40 per cent. of mineral oil density
0.890) of great viscosity, and emitting no
infammable vapors, even in contact with
an ignited body, at any point below 338
deg F., is sufficient to prevent spontaneous
combustion, and the addition of 20 per
cent of the same mineral oil doubtless
is necessary to produce spontaneous
combustion

How Slaves Are Prepared in Africa to Eat

Chicago Times
Fattening slaves in park and feeding
them up like animals designed for
the table, and then leading them to a
shambles where they are slaughtered like
oxen, cut into pieces and shared bit by bit
among hungry cannibals-such is the prac-
tiee which is permitted, according to NJ
Fondese, French explorer, in some of the
French, Belgian, Portuguese and even
British territories in Ubanghi. M. Fon-
desc was sent out three years ago by the
French government to discover the sources
of the Niarguillon and having returned

task, he hastens to tell his countrymen all
about the terrible things which he has seen

Science Teaching in Elementary Schools
The experience of J. NJ. Arms in teach
ing natural science in elementary schools,
as related by him in the current Popular
Science Monthly, Is not without suggest
i've value. The number of my pupils in
creasing, and their ages ranging from 5
to 20 years, | have an excellent opportun-
ity, says he. for comparing the quality of
work done by older and younger pupils
whose perceptive faculties have been trained
in early life, and those who had not received
this training. The differences was fore
ed to draw from these comparisons set me
to thinking seriously. The inaccuracy of
the obServational and manual work done by
older pupils. the indefniteness of express
sion, the lack of system. and the inability
to do comparative and inferential work
were so many revelations of the true aims
of science teaching. The absolute neces-
sity for accuracy in every study and every
department of work made accuracy the
first object to be attained In every science
lesson, the vagueness of the oral and writ
ten statement made clear, concise express
sion the second object. The want of meth
cd emphasized the need of a simple, order
" grouping of the observations, while the
painful and fruitless attempts tomake COM
parison and draw differences showed the
necessity of cultivating the power of gen.
eralizing from specific facts.

Infested with Rats.

Bean Island, an uninhabited piece of
land lying in Frenchman' bay, off the
coast of Maine, would be a paradise for
cats. 1t is infested with rats and how
they reach there no one can tell. It is the
general supposition that some years ago
a coasting schooner must have been
wrecked in the bay and that it had rats
among the other valuable portions of its
cargo. The rodents are there by thousands
and they fairly swarm over the island
Any one who is not fond of them does well
In giving the place WIDE berth, for they
know no fear and make it interesting for
visitors Much of the island is low and
fat and is so perforated with their holes
that it resembles a vast sewer. How they
live is mystery. No one knows of any
fresh water upon the island, so the rats
must have been the sole discoveries of
some hidden spring.

4 FRIEND.
GERTRUDE ALsER.

The radiant beauty of her tender face
Was but the echo of her loveler SOUL
To all things fair she lent fairer grace;
What was not sweet some sweetness from heI
stole;
In daily loving acts she met their needs
Who dreamed of future great and noble deeds.
She strove to found her life upon that law
She willed to be the worlds in act and word;
Where others found but i'll, some good she saw,
And held from all what'er unkind she heard:
She fain would see linked closer friend to friend
And sought to make love deeper grow, not end.
And what she seemed to be, she was, in sOoth,
Alike to all. herself sincere and true,
Earnest and trusting all, for such was truth
To her. 1t gave her faith IN those she knew,
And if they grew indeed, beneath her spell,
More like to what she taught them, who can tell
She loved the world, and made it fair each day
About her; to her steps Joy seemed TO cling;
Through paths of love she took her gentle way,
And dropped her words and looks like flowers OF
spring.
And though she died in youth, who will but say
The world is better for her lifes short day?
