Ensilase in Canada.

E The following points regarding the use
of ensilage in Canada are reproduced from
the report of the Ontario agricultural col
lege:
First-The hay and straw crops have been
factors SO important for the economical
wintering Of cattle that if they happen to
be light and short scarcity of cheap feed
has been experienced. A part of corn
crop may be planted so late that the farmer
can accomm odate the acreage to the pros
poets of alisht or large hay crop an esti-
mate of which can be made with reasonable
accuracy by the middle OF June in most
years. r.
E Sccond-Twc alternatives present them
selves to the farmer who depends entirely
upon pasture for his cattle during the sum
mer months. He must either stock his
fields lighter than their capacity can well
support during June and July, or let the
cattle suffer for sufficient herbage from
which 20 bite during the hot and dry
weather o. midsummer. The system of
partial soiling enables the farmer to stock
his pasture fields during June to the ut
most limits of their supporting power
Green fodder may be grown to carry them
over period of scant iced from pastures
While rye, clover, peas and yetches. and
peas and oats are admirably adapted for
such uses. they give but small yield per
acre compared with what may be obtained
from a corn crop.
Third-A cheap winter fodder for cattle
is indispensable to the dairyman and cattle
feeder who farms for profit i'll these times
OF comparatively low prices and keen COM
petition. Cattle can be led upon fodder
corn from silo at least one half less per
day then when hay is the main ration. That
statement will apply to almost every part
of the dominion. In seasons which yield
but a light hay or short straw crop, corn
grows more luxuriantly. Hence it has a
specially complementary crop value where
large numbers o cattle are to be fed during
the winter and summer.
Fourth-From the large quantity that
may be obtained from small area OF lane.
the corn crop will enable the small farmer
to engage successfully in animal husbandry
On. fitty acres OF good arabic land
the growth Of ten acres Of fodder
corn, may profitablY feed twenty
five head OF thrifty cattle the year round,
besides the ordinary complement of young
stock The number may be gradual " in
creased as he is enabled from their drop
pings to enrich the soil for the growth OF
heavier crops and larger areas OF fodder
corn.
Fiith-The summer cultivation of the
soil during the growth of the crop has a
very beneficial action upon its fertility.
The long roots of the plant loosen the sol
and by their action and decay liberate some
OF the constituents required for the growth
OF succeeding crops.
They also provide for the freeing of the
land from obnoxious weeds and the pre-
venting Of them from obtaining new loot
hold.

A Test Vote Shows that They Gao

FROM me Nt3p J orr 1ufleS.
NEW ORLEANS, May 21.-The first
vote on the lottery question came up in
the House to-day, and showed the autis
in an unbroken phalanx of thirty eight
votes, minority, but enough to hold
the aggressive majority in check The
question came up on declaring vacant
the seat of Alphonse Phillips, member
OF the House from the Twelfth Ward
of New Orleans. Phillips is fugitive
from Justice, charged with the forgery
and embezzlement of some $4,000 or
$50, 600.
He realized on securities intrusted to
him as notary and attorney to the ex-
tent of some $40 900 and abandoned his
home some ten months ago and fled
with blonde siren to Europe. After
prolonged debate the motion to unseat
was carried, the fifty-three lottery men
voting yes and the thirty eight antis no.
The Governor will probably exercise
his own pleasure about ordering an
election in Phillips place. Since the
fugitive legislator has been convicted of
no crime and II requires forty three
vote to expel member. 1t can only be
done on presentation of formal charges.
The lottery matter which to-day is
causing the most comment is the refusal
of the two Legislators from the Pointe
Coupee district to vote to submit the
lottery extension question to the people
of the parish. A petition was drawn
up, and was signed by 80 men of the
parish, asking Senator Provosty and
Representative Bachelor to vote accord
ing to the wishes of their constituents.
A delegation, headed by Mr.. Alfred
Hebrand, presented the Legislators with
the document to day. The Senator and
Representative politely but firmly de-
cline to be swerved from the position
they had taken.
The pro-lottery men held meeting
last night and say that most cheering
news from all parts of the State is com
ing in, not the least of which is the an
nouncement that Pro Lottery League
is being formed in New Orleans, and
that mass meeting is to be held in that
city to indorse the lottery company.

II believe that can honestly claim

veteran; but still it was money, and
gave my company, which made the
capture, the opportunity for playing
the heaviest game of poker ever heard
of. The ante was 800, and there was
no limit. Hence you may conceive
there was some lively betting.

The Painful Predicament of Guard
and the Disastrous Result

The Painful Predicament of "a Guard
and the Disastrous Result.
A little incident happened at the Sew
enth Regiment Armory recently, says
the New York Tribune, which ought to
dispel any doubts, if any ever existed,
about the bravery of the members OF the
regiment, but each reader must decide
whether or not the story here related is
sign of gallantry. AT one of the
parades of the organization, few weeks
ago, either too many spectators tickets
had been issued or more than the ordi-
nary number Of those receiving tickets
had availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of witnessing the parade. Before
the time for the ceremony to begin had
arrived every inch Of available space in
the armory was occupied, and there were
numbers Of people who could not get in
position 10 see the drill at all.
Orders were then issued to the guafd
at the door not to let any one else 10
under any circumstances. 1t so hap
pens that the guard at the door had
sent several tickets to friends for that
evenings entertainment, and one of the
friends was "pariicular" young wo.
man. These friends had not arrived
when the order was issued, and the
guard, upon receiving it, prayed as he
never prayed before that they would
not come. He was obliged to turn a
number of people away and he was the
butt of a good meny sarcastic remarks
by those who we're disappointed in not
gaining admission. He did not mind
that in the least, however, If "she'
would only stay away.
The ceremony in the armory had be-
gun and the guard was congratulating
himself upon his narrow escape from
the scene which he knew was inevita-
BILE If his friends came, when the face
and form which was occupying good
| share of his thoughts appeared at the
| door, and with the young woman were
| the friends to whom he had sent the
tickets. She was dressed in her hand,
soonest gown and her cheeks were flushed
| with pleasant expectation. The young
woman's eyes sparkled when she rec.
ognized the guard, and as she came
forward she said sweetly;
Good evening, Mr.. Soldier"
If there was ever soldier who fell
like fleeing from an enemy, it was thai
guard. He stood speechless and mo
tioDless for few moments, and the ex
preston of the young woman's face
only two plainly showed that she fell
keenly the cool reception which she wa;
receiving. The guard began to explain
in stammering voice, which wa'
choked with emotion, what his position
was-but there, the writer does not fee

But yet his lips did not his name dis

Bearing one crimson rose.
Beneath the high noontide

We spoke of many things-he clasped my

One kiss, and that was all,
Alas ! knew him not
And yet he wore my rose upon his

But still the perfume Of his kiss re-

Though let Love depart.

But song and sunshine fiji my happy

For love has come TO stay.
