No Objection TO EnsiIaqe.

II has not been our experience here, at the
Michigan Agricultural College, that animals
fed on ensilage are more susceptible to cold
than those fed on dry food, so-called. En-
SiIagc is a starchy food furnishing in ahun-
dance those elements which go to produce
animal heat in the body. 1t does not follow
that because a food is succulent, it is nee
essarily less valuable for supporting the
bodily functions. Silage being bulky and
less concentrated than dry grain food, it is
possible that the expenditure of animal hea,
necessary to raise this larger bulk to the
normal temperature may have some ini1n-
ence. indirectly, on the ability of the
animal to withstand cold. II is also posi-
bile that animals fed exclusively on "A succu-
lent diet may take an excess of water into
the system. This water is eliminated not
only through the kidneys hut through the
pores of the skin. This is cooling pro-
cess and may have a slight influence on the
temperature of the animal. Both of the
above mentioned possible influences are so
slight, if present at ALL as to be. in our
opinion. scarcely worthy of consideration in
this discussion. do not consider that this
objection against silage as winter food is

Another statistical report has Just been
published which worries the Democrats
This time il is the report of Hon, Horace
t. wallin, commissioner of labor sta
tistics of Massachusetts. which shows that
in 1890 the average number of persons en-
ployed in all establishments represented was
2s7 SEQ. and the average number of persons
employed in the same establishments in
1891 was sas 500. This is an increase of
i.s per cent. in the average number en-
plcyed. The total amount paid in wage
in the establishments increased 2.s5 per
cent. The average yearly earnings per in
dividual. without regard to sex or age. en-
ployed in the seventy-iive industries were
stS; % in iso0 and sttl 20 in 1891, The
range from the highest 10 the lowest aver
age yearly earnings was from ssI6.S5
10 S27S2a in $500, and from
sss.s6 to S2sT,2s in 1891.
The higher earnings ruled in the industries
demanding greater skill and employing
males chiefly. and the lower in factory in
