Uncut Ensilage.

Mr.. Edison made the following re-
marks respecting his silo experience at
a meeting of the Board of Agriculture
of the State OF Massachusetts,: 81 have
been in favor of the silo for the past
ten years, but the expense and trouble
of getting steam works and cutter
to cut the ensilage before it goes
into the silo have always held me back.
| did not want to 60 to the expense OF
getting a steam engine and cutter for
what little I wanted. But when they
began to put it in whole and found it
kept well, built a silo; and I think as
far as my experience goes, that the
ensilage which comes out of my siio
is better than that which comes out Of
si'os where it can be cut up fine, and I
think keeps better. My mode of pack
ing is to begin at one end, put the
butts outwards in the silo and lay them
over just the same as you would shingle
a building, being very careful in pack
ing them and tramping them down
Then I commence at the other end, 60
back, packing them very close, and
tramp them down in the some manner
I think that the ensilage keeps better
and there is less air in it. If we cut
it into inch pieces the juice is apt tc
run out and the ends of the pieces fill
with air, SO that we get good deal
more air into the silo with cut ensilage
than we do when we put it in whole

National Grange.

Hon. j. Fl. Brigham, Worthy Mas
ter OF the National Grange, has official
ly notified the secretary that he will
visit Washington early in January, to
make careful examination of all leg
islatlon before Congress which affects
or relates to the agricultural interests
of the country, and then will take such
action as his judgement may indicate
to be for the good of the order. A
suggestion has been made, to wit: that
the National officers, tie Masters Of
State Grange and the Past Masters Of
both bodies, write their views, on the
proposed legislation, to Worthy Mas
ter Brigham; and, as the time is short,
address their communications to the
care of this office, to the end that Bro
ther Brigham may have them before
him on his arrival in this city.

RISING sun, CECIL COUNTY, MD. FRIDAY, JANUARY rs

Those who have focks of pure Merinos
should still keep their best blood and
sell where they can; but do not be daz-
ed or crazed with the expectation of high
prices. Do not sacrifice your fiocks,
but cut them down to the best. We
should eat more lamb and mutton, and
it may be great blessing that it is
necessary to push this side of the sheep
interest, which should result in rearing
of better mutton, more Of it, and its
pr esentation to the public in more
attractive forms, and everywhere.
Now beef is in the front, and the con-
sumer sees little else, unless in the
time Of sausages, when pigs divide the
space, but taking only small part.
Mutton can really be grown cheaper
than any other meat, as the fleece will
go far to make up the cost of raising.
No animal will grow faster in pro-
portion to the food consumed than a
lamb. The per cent of gains as to
cost is the highest Here is a good
basis for the skill Of the breeder. The
word skill is the key to the whole
thing. One man will grasp it and win,
and another will not work up to it. and
he will fail. Begin with few and
enlarge as your skill is developed.
Keep some sheep anyhow.

Dairy Notes.

Good butter cows will make pound
of butter to every fourteen or eighteen
pound of milk, says the Mirror and
Farmer. .'General purpose cows" want
from twenty-five to thirty-one pounds,
and some cows would require fifty
pounds of milk to make o pound OF
butter. Average dairies require some
where about twenty-five pounds Of milk
to make pound Of butter.
Butter at 10 cents pays good profit
to the producer, but there is a wide
range between 16 cents for poor and 40
cents for good butter, when it takes as
much cream to mako one as the other.
IF farmers will test the butter-pro-
ducing qualities OF their COWS, they
will soon learn that many cows are not
paying for half the food they consume
while others cen be kept at fair profit.
The man who feeds ground oats.

will get good many per cent nearer

reached, taking our dairymen and
farmers as a class.

ing, but they might have been made
docile by early and gentle handling.
1t is safe to say that rough usage OF
COWS often occasions the loss of half
their milk. They refuse to "give
down. and that dries them up rapidly.
Boys, dogs and needless men worry
them when driving from the neld' II
regular feeding and milking, and every.
thing out of the regular order, disturbs,
and therefore damages them. Change
Of residence frequently causes cows to
shrink their milk for whole year. A
noted Holstein butter COW. taken to the
fair to test her butter making qualities,
made only pound Of butter from forty
four pounds of milk, while in the quiet
of her home she made pound of but
ter from twenty-one pounds and three
ounces Of milk. Likely she was extra
nervous, but all cows have nerves
enough to require that their treatment
be gentle and regular.

Medium Weight Hogs Most
Profitable.

The hogs that are quoted highest in
market reports are always the medium
weight hogs, smooth and even in quail
tiles. Hogs can be grown in nine
months to ill all the requirements Of a
good commercial hog. And now word
for the hog himself. He is one of the
most money making of all the animals
raised on the farm. He requires less
care, can utilize greater amount Of
coarse food than any other animal
food which would otherwise be lost
and give a good return for it. To the
good qualities OF the hog many man
owes the farm he works or the success
he has attained as a business man. The
hog has made millionaires, and he has
also aided the struggling farmer in the
battle OF life. lie is essentially the
animal for the general farmer-requir-
ing but little capital as an investment,
and never holding out promises which
he does not fulfill. The food of the pig
is usually in concentrated form, con-
sisting more largely of starch than the
food of the ruminants, and the digestion
of its food takes place largely in the in.
testinal canal This explains why the
pig is SO great digester of food and
gains more in weight from given
amount consumed than the OK or the
sheep.

Neither win Il do to Justify Che

Neither will it do to justify the
action of the Governor on the
ground that the number OF crim-
nails was great, for this would be
pleading that the great State of
Ohio is too weak to protect the
persons Of its citizens from assault
and injury and to prevent or dis
perse riotous assemblies within it's
limits.
Again we would like to be in
formed by what authority of the
constitution or law such a compact
as that attempted by the Governor
binds either the parties or the
State. 1t occurs to us that the ac-
ton is wholly void, and the civil
tribunals should wholly disregard
1t and at once proceed to try, con-
vict and punish these midnight
and turn them over to
executive clemecy in the strict
legal form.

Railway Bnilding in China.

| Chinese conservatism has at last
given way before the locomotive.
The Tien-Tsin and Tongshan Ry.,
eighty one miles long, constructed
under government sanction, has
been opened for passenger and
freight business and in successful
daily operation. Its locomotives
passengers and freight cars have
been mainly constructed after
American models, and the car
wheels are made at Wilmington,
Del.
Notwithstanding the road was
built on enbankments averaging 8
feet high, to protect it from inun-
dations, the cost of construction
was only $4,000 per mile. The Or
ientals have cheap labor, and they
have not yet compassed the rascal
ity by means of which stock-hold-
ers are made to build roads which
bond holders afterward own. The
rate for first class passengers
charged by this heathen corpora
ton is u cents per mile; second
class passengers pay less than ]
cent per mile. The first railroad

cratic members established the
fact that this reform tariff bill
which the Republicans are endeav-
oripg to pass, actually increases
the duty on thread which the poor
sewing women, shirt-makers are
compelled to buy; still later it was
shown that under this reform bill
the manufacturers Of cloth out of
which shirts are made, are to be
protected by tariff OF thirty-flve
per cent, while the tariff proposed
on shirts made from the same
grade of material is only forty per
cent.
In other words, the owner of the
cotton mill is to be protected
thirty-five per cent. on the cotton
shirting which he manufactures;
he is also to have increased protec-
ton on thread, while the poor sew
ing woman who makes fine shirts
at seventy five cents a dozen, fur
nishing the thread, is to be given
only five per cent. protection
against the alleged "pauper shirt
makers" of Europe.
The Republican tariff reformers
of the Senate are now making Il
record as the pretended protectors
of labor; here are samples of work
they propose, and no intelligent or
reader can fail to dis
cover the glaring fraud which is
revealed when he compares their
pretentions and their performance.

Tlle Sum
For 1883 and for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the camp
paign for the election of Demo-
cratic Congress in 1890 and Dem
ocratic President in 1892 should be-
gin on or about the fourth of next
March. The Sun will be on hand
a the beginning and until the end
of the most interesting and impor-
tant political conflict since the
war, doing it's honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph of the
Democratic party and the perman-
ent supremacy of the principles
held by Jefferson, Jackson and
Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the
return to absolute power of the
common enemy of all good Demo-
crats-the policical organization
for whose overthrow the Sun
fought at the front for fifteen years
the memorable years of Grant and
the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and
Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that
Democrats now confront, and he
will be intrenched in the same
strong position. 1t has been car
ried once by brave and hopeful
fighting. Do you not believe with
the Sun that the thing can be done
again? Wait and see!
The hope of the Democracy is in
the loyal efforts of the united press
cherishing no memories of past
differences in nOn-essentials, for
getting everything but the lessons
of experience, and that victory is a
duty.
Probably you know the Sun al
ready as newspaper which gets
all the news and prints it in in
comparably interesting shapes;
which chronicles facts as they oc-
cur and tells the truth about men
and events with absolute fearless
ness, making the completest and
most entertaining journal publish
ed anywhere on earth; and which
sells its opinions only to it's sub
scribers and purchasers at two
cents copy-on Sundays four
cents. If you do not know the Sun

COmpOunding a Felony.

The action of the Governor O.
Ohio, as stated in his message to
the General Assembly, would sub
ject any citizen of the State to in.
dictment and prosecution under
the statute against compounding
felonies- To agree with any Grim.
nal that upon his doing certain
acts the State would forbear tC
prosecute for crimes already per.
perpetrated is one of the most start.
ling procedures any Governor
ever engaged in.
How would it do for Mr.. Foraker
to say to some gentleman horse
thief or burglar, if you will solemn
ly promise to perpetrate no more
crimes you shall not be punished
for your crimes in the past.
We have no hesitancy in say
ing that such an agreement would
be denounced and repudiated by
all good citizens and ought to be
disregarded by every Prosecuting
Atty. and Court in the State.
And in what regard does the
alledged agreement made by the
Governor with the White Cap
organizations { iffer from the above
save in the fact thai the crimes,
perpetrated by the so-called White
Caps were against person instead
of property, and were perpetrated
by an organized band Of maraud-
ers instead of single individuals.
1t will not do to argue that the
perpetrators of the crimes in
question were unknown to the
Governor, for then his agreement
would be the worst Of idiotic pro-
ceedipgs. Their names were known
and the proof at hand or the COM
pact OF the criminals and the Gov
srnor is foolish farce.
