AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
D OF ENSILAGE.

It is always best to teed some dry hay
with the ensilage; eight pounds of cut
hay are usually mixed with thirty pounds
of the ensilage for q days feeding.
This is given in two or three feeds as
may be desirable or habitual. The grain
feed is then given dry, or it may be
added to the moist ensilsge and hay,
which in general is the most useful, as
being better digested. Or the feed may
be mixed with the cut and wetted hay,
and the ensilage given by itself.-Neu
York Times.

the stone occupied to rid the field of the
one nuisance that had always dis6gured
it. Yet the farmer was we'll satisfied,
and he had reason to be. The improve
ment was not alone in the land reclaimed
to use, but every acre in the whole field
was made more valuable thereby. Thus
the expense, though apparently extravs.
giant, was fully justified by tho good re-
suits Standardization CuNioator.

A PIT FOR WINTER STORAGE.

A pit which is accessible in all kinds
of winter weather is a very valuable ad.
junct to the kitchen garden, for, as a
general rule, the vegetables keep much
better and retain their flavor more per.
fectly when stored outdoors than when
kept in a cellar. Last fall, writes a cor
respondent, I made a small pit as fol-
lows: A well-drained corner of the gar
den was selected and the pit dug four by
eight by four feet in depth. This was
lined with 1-inch chestnut boards nailed
to locast corner-posts. The roof was
made of heavy oak boards, having a
pitch sufficient to shed the moisture as it
came through the soil. A manhole
eighteen inches square by twenty inches
high was'made in the lower corner at
n end of the Ioof. The earth that had
been dug out was thrown upon the roof,
forming a good-sized frost-proofm mound.
A movable wire screen of half-inch mesh
was fitted into the manhole to keep out
mice, rats, etc. A water-tight trap.door
closed the entrance. A short ladder is
used in getting in and out. In this pit
I have kept cabbage, turnips, beets, po-
tatoes, celery, apples, etc., in the most
excellent condition. The trap-door was
propped open for ventilation nearly the
whole winter. Nothing was frosted or
injured by the cold. As this pit is sim
pie and of easy construction, there is no
reason why every garden should not have
one.-Ppular Gardening.

PERMANENT GRASS WITHOUT FLOWING.
Ny own long experience, and that of
many of my acquaintance, writes A. B.
Allen, proves that some of the best grass
lands we possess either for pasture or hay
have been obtained on clayey loans with
out blowing. After the forest was cut
off and the ground cleared it was sown
with grass seed early in spring and then
simply narrowed and brushed. So many
stumps stood on the land and it was so
full of large roots that blowing if
attempted would have been very hard
work, requiring powerful team, extra
strong heavy implements; and ever with
these it could only be partially done,
leaving the surface in a very rough state.
On such the seed did not take so well
o make so good and smooth a sod as
when sowed without blowing. The roots
left in the land proved a double benefit.
Gradually decaying they lightened the
stiff soil and made it friable, keeping it
more open to rains and dews. at the same
time fertilizing it to a considerable ex-
tent by furnishing food to the growing
grass. / know meadows thus formed
which have produced ton of frst-rate
hay on the average per acre each year for
half a century without application of
stable manure or fertilizer of any kind.
The stumps here were also left till so
rotted they could be easily pulled by q
yoke or two of cattle, piled up and then
burned these, too, added something to
the fertility Of the soil.-Nsu York
Tribune.

A Friend to Fleming.

EDITORS HERALD: When man calls
another man behind the bars liar, he
can hardly be deemed more valiant
than the small skeptical youth, who
doubling the Biblical story of the bald
headed prophet and the bears, waited
his chance to insult gentleman whose
top locks had departed. One day, in
front of his house, the young Ingerscll,
spying his game, yelled ont at the top
of his voice: FGo up, thou bald head !"
retreated rapidly behind his fathers
hall door and exclaimed "Now, come
on with your BEARS"
My knowledge of the character of the
unfortunate defendant is limited to a
residence of several months in the On
tario hotel, of which we were guests,
and have pleasure in saying that Mr..
Fleming bore as good reputation there
as does the generous" Judge Smith or
E. T. Murray (whoever he may be).
There is little use in friends OF foes OF
Fleming rushing into print. Enough
evidence of false swearing, erroneous
ruling and improper charge to the jury,
ought to be produced before the SUI
preme court to reverse the present de-
cision.
Will anyone for moment believe
that an honest woman y
would calmly discues, with the man,
arrangements for their respective sleep
ing places and then go to bed in he
next room to the married man without
locking her door? Nothing more evil
IDENTIFY false was ever offered in evidence
before ''generous" judge, or an ''intel-
ligent" jury. BY the bye, one of the
jurymen said to me next morning after
the verdict, 81 am sorry for Mr.. Flem-
ing. think he is very nice man."
My card enclosed for E. I. Murray if he
wants it. Yours, w. P.

is Ammonia Poisonous?

1t is not necessary to know the chem
istry OF ammonia, or to know how it is
made from old hoofs and horns and rank
gas liquor, to realize that this drug
should be handled carefully and kept
out of the reach of children. Serious
accidents from ammonia are by no
means uncommon. Quite number
have come under our notice within a
short time, few of which are given be-
low with the same startling head lines
used in the papers. Many details, of
course, are omitted, but enough are CIV
en- to point moral.
