EnsiIage.

A writer upon this subject said he
presumed he should lie called an en-
silage crank, but so long as he could
produce 900 pounds of butter worth
% cents per pound from one acre of
ensilage, with other feed furnished,
he was willing to be called a crank.
That sounds very well, but in reality
is no argument In favor of ensilage
because OF its indeflniteness. At first
thought, the impression would be
that the acre Of ensilage had pro-
duced the thousand pounds OF butter,
but then upon reflection, the reader
is left in the dark. There is no ex-
PLANTATION of what the other feed is,
nor how much in quantity; neither is
there any intimation OF what the cost
of production was. Undoubtedly en-
silage Is all right and may be profit
able to those producing milk and hav-
ing dairy large enough to warrant
the expense OF building silo. But
at the same time, from the tests
made at different experiments stations,
there is not particle of evidence in
favor of ensilage instead of the same
fodder in dry state. 1t must be re-
membered that ia the case of ensil-
age, it is recommended that it be not
planted too thickly, so that it may
develop a better growth and also
ears of grass. This all goes into the
pit as "a part of the ensilage fodder
and is so fed, still further supple
mented with other grass, and those
using it are inclined to compare its eff
fects with those of ordinary corn
stoyer that has stood for the ripening
and removal of all the grain. Cut
your corn, dry the fodder and feed
the combined product, and note the
result before making the comparison
with ensilage. This is a fair way to
maze comparisons

visiting his aunt, several blocks distant
from his home, he told her family Sc

home his conscience troubled him and
he faced about and returned TO his

place:

COMBINED ASH BIN AND LITTER.

set pals and other vessels containing
ashes and live Goals directly on the
floor Of some out-building. 1t is GER
tainly very foolish to run all this risk
when, for few dollars, a good and
safe receptacle for the ashes can be
easily constructed. The engraving
from sketch by L. ID. Shook shows
simple form, three feet wide, four
feet long, two and half feet above
ground, and one foot below ground.
1t Is made from brick laid in single
tier with water lime. Where coal is
used, there is great economy in stiff
ing the ashes. Two iron or wooden
bars can be placed cross-wise six
inches below the top. Upon these
rests a common ash riddle with
handle projecting IN front. BY throw
ing the ashes on the sitter and closing
the hinged cover, the coal is separated
from the ashes without Al cloud of
dust. The handle is simply hooked
to the sitter and unfastened when
the sitter is emptied. Wood ashes
need not be sifted. but may be safely
thrown into the bin while hot. A
cement floor will keep the ashes dry.
Unleached wood ashes are an excel
lent fertilizer.

without exception, so far as we have

The time tried craftsmanship of Sen
ator Kidd of Crawford, the erudition

ter of Grant, and the persuasive elo-
quence and well known sterling quail
tiles of Mr.. Allen of Iowa, all counted
for naught; and after one compliment
tary ballot, the delegated representa-
tives from all parts of the great agri-
cultural district declared with loud
acclaim and great unanimity for Mr..
Babcock, the wealthy lumberman-
banker of Juneau county. This is per-
haps as it should be. Mr.. Babcock is
the logical candidate of his party. If
Southern Wisconsin is to send a repre-
sentative to congress to vote as the
protected barons dictate, and against
the interests of our people. it is meet
and right that that the representative
should be one of the protected barons
themselves.

In his speech in the Senate on

In his speech in the Senate on Fri
day last Senator Carlisle pointed out
the folly of the claim that high prices
of commodities are beneficial to the
people at large. He said:
Whatever makes it easier for the
people to live decently and comfort
ably, whatever makes the necessaries
of life which the people are bound to
buy and use cheaper and less expen-
sive to the masses, is a blessing to
mankind, and l have never been able
to appreciate the wisdom of that pol
icy which compels them to work
longer and harder in order to procure
food, raiment and shelter for themsel-
yes and their families; 1 have never
been able to appreciate either the
economic truth or the humanity Of the
proposition that the people can be
made happy and prosperous by tax
alton, whether the purpose of that tax
alton be to defray the extravaganza ex-
penditures on the part of the govern
ment, or to increase the prices which
the people pay for what they eat,
drink and wear. Mr.. President, any
one who contends in this day, as the
senator of Nevada Mr.. Stewart ap-
parently has this morning, that high
prices of commodities are beneficial to
the community at large, is at war
with the spirit of the age in which he
lives, at war with the genius of dis
covery and invention which during the
last half century more than during
any other like period in the history of
the world has ameliorated the condit-
ion of mankind by bringing all the
necessaries Of life, and many Of its
luxuries, within the reach of every
man who is willing to work. If high
prices are conducive to general welfare,
we ought to retrace our steps and 60
back where our ancestors stood hun
dred years ago; we ought to dispense
of the use of steam and electricity and
cast the whole burden Of our great in
dustries upon the shoulders of the
laboring men and women of the
country; we ought to destroy our rail
roads and telegraphs and go back to
the dirt road, the oxcart, the stage
coach of the past; we ought to remove
every form of machinery from our
shops and factories, and drive the
mowers and reapers and threshers
from our fields. In short, we ought to
undo everything which science and art
have done for the human race, prohib-
it the application of their marvellous
discoveries and inventions to the prac-
tical affairs of life, and return to the
most primitive methods of production
and distribution, for that undoubted
would produce high prices.

Mr.. Warner at Shullsburg.

The Shullsburg Pick and Cad.
A good sized audience greeted Hon.
w. c. Warner in the opera house in
this city last Thursday evening to hear
his address on the now engrossing
topic of tariff. 1r. Warner is thor
oughly posted upon his theme and his
speech was well delivered and full of
information. A large number of ladies
were present, who seemed to be at
tentive listeners. The Democratic
part of the audience were enthusiastic
over Mr.. Warmers calculation of his
subject while even the Republicans
were interested. The entire absence
of party abuse was feature of the
speech which might well be initiated
by other public speakers upon politi
cal matters.
