The Original Stlrs and Stripes.

With the Massachusetts, posts, during
the G. A. r. encampment in Washing.
ton, came most interesting relic, be-
ing the original stars and stripes, which
was brought on by its owner, Mrs. Stat
ford of Martha's Vineyard.
The flag is the first and original
United States flag, but instead of thir.
teen stars, as might be expected from the
number of original States, it only con
tains twelve stars, which is explained by
the fact that at the time the flag wa
made Georgia was not yet entitled to {
vote. The flag was made by the ladies
of Philadelphia from the design of the
escutchoen of the Washington family,
and it is said Washington himself cut
out the five pointed stars.
The flag was presented to John Pau
Jones, who sailed with it up and down thu
Schuylkill to show the appearance of the
flag of their country. Afterward it wa
adopted by Congress, and Jones carried II
with him on his ship Bon Homme Rich
ard. In his great fight against over
whelming odds the flag was shot away
from its staff and fell in the sea ant
Lieutenant Stafford leaped overheard
and brought it safely to the ship and
nailed it to the masthead. Afterward
the relic was presented to Lieutenant
Stafford by act of Congress and his de
scendants still retain it.-Washingtol

That the extensive introduction OF en-
silagc as stock feeding article was not
long since accomplished in the United
States is matter OF surprise, consider.
ing the fact that the system has been in
vogue in nearly all European countries
for years.
About fifteen years ago tho discovery
was made BY August GoTart, of Burton,
France, that placing corn fodder in an
air-tight cellar or silo, it could be so
preserved as to retain all its rich sue.
culent juices, and possess a feeding value
for stock superior to any othe. winter
forage. Goifart's first successful sllo was
established in 1873, and though many
notifications have since been made in
the construction of silos, the method in
use at present is identical with the first
plant erected.
In 1879, Francis Morris, Of Maryland,
built the first siIo in this country. The
general use Of ensilage was, however,
long retarded, first, because of the APP.
parently heavy expense attending the
construction OF slos; and next, owing
to the inability to secure the proper ma
chincry for preparing the fodder for the
siIo. After many unfortunate and dis.
couraging experiences, this difficulty has
been solved, and ensilage has already be.
come standard product with a ma.
jority of the intelligent dairymen and
stock1isers in the country. OF late
years farmers institutes have given the
subject much consideration, and the es-
tablshment OF silos have been generally
recommended.
in the State of Wisconsin the use OF
ensllagc has become especially popular,
and here, too, have been built the larg-
est establishments for the production of
machinery. Those who have investi-
gated the subject thoroughly say that the
adoption of the silo means better kept
stock an increase of at least fifty per
cent. in the winter product of the dairy,
and the wintering of all kinds of stock
in our northwestern climate for about
one-half of the cost of feeding under the
ordinary method. Chicago Graphic.

The Germans ar using new style OF
horseshoe. Instead of the horseshoe be-
ing simply curved piece OF iron, part
of the shoe is ma q If rope. The shoe
is made of malleablc iron, and on the
bottom is a deep groove, running from
end to end. In this groove tightly fits
the new feature of the shoe-a piece oil
tarred rope. The rope is about three.
quarters of inch thick. The stands are
firmly twisted, and the application oil
tar makes the bit of hawscr tough and
durable, yet soft enough to afford the
horse a relief unknown with the ordin-
airy shoe. The shoe is fastened to the
hoof by four nails driven through the
rope on each side. The tarred rope
resting on the pavement gives the horses
a firm grip on the ground, and as it
makes the shoe much lighter and inf
nitely more comfortable than the solid
iron, its advantage is readily apparent.
The new invention increases the horse s
pulling power and saves the hoofs deal
of hard wear which cannot but result
from the iron shoe pounding the rough
pavements. Sporting World.
