Agriculture never took a longer
stride in advance than it did when the
silo was added to the practical equip
ment of the farm. Most of us were
slow to realize this at first, and a
great many are unwilling to concede
the advantage claimed for the silo
but the utility Of the modern silo
cannot be gainsaid. for without it we
are left at the mercy Of the elements
in the handling of our great corn crop.

Any candid person, contrasting the
moderation exhibited by the Demo
cratic administration four years ago
with the rapacity now shown by the
Republicans; must confess that it is
not true that Harrison is no worse
than Cleveland. What claim that is
for the partisans of the Administration
to put forward! Only nine months ago
Republican organs teemed with arti-
cles denouneing Cleveland as so bad
a President that he ought to be turned
out Of office, and man put in his
place who would keep his pledges.
Within three months Of this mans
Inauguration the press of his party
is reduced to such straits as to beg
indulgence for him on the ground
that he really is no worse than his
predecessor. We do not recall a
more striking confession OF a new
administrations failure.-N. Y.

moment was hurrying by.
The forest where Luke was quartered
was almost devoid of underbrush. The
spring was little backward and the leaves
were not much larger than squirrels ears,
while on many of the trees the
buds were either only swollen or
lust bursted, so that there was little to Cd
struct their view. The trees were turned
faint green by the young leaves and tender
buds, and the earth had also received a
light coat of ermine from the paint-orusn OF
spring. A fourth of nile IN tnelr lroh'

At an inquest in New York over the
