Concerning Silos.

1t has been demonstrated over and
over again, says Hoard's Dairynan:
First-That there has been no way vet
discovered whereby any man, be he rich
or poor, can harvest, slselter and keep
from waste fodder for cows, whether
few or many, SO cheaply, expeditiously
and certainly as by storing same in
silo. While the preponderance of testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of cutting
the corn or clover or whatever may be
put in the silo, it is nevertheless true
that not a few farmers prefer to put it
IN whole. In the latter case it will be
unnecessary to buy or hire cutter and
power to run it, and this item of expense
may be deferred. Second-One acre of
corn will yield more and better feed
when put in silo than two acres of
meadow or three acres of pasture.
Third-Good. sweet silage, in quantities
from forty to sixty pounds per day, may
be fed to any healthy cow without in
juring her milk for any purpose what
ever. Fourth-The poor man, of all
others, is the one who cannot afford to
do without q silo.

applications without fear of loss. 1t
may take the place of nitrate of soda
during the warmer part of the season
with gratifying results, and in colnbina-
ton with that salt at any time, the lat
ter for immediate effect, the former as
a more gradual source of supply. The
price of sulphate of ammonia is trifie
higher than that of nitrate of soda. Hen

trogen, Greiner composts with loan,
muck, leaves, ETC., and applies after
blowing broadcast, and stirs into the
surface soil by means of harrow, cult
vator and rake. In the cut is shown
spinach grown on ground MANFRED with
one ton per acre of high grade complete
fertilizer and a good topdressing of
composted hen manure, with frequent
but very light applications of nitrate of
soda; also spinach, fed in the usual way
with stable compost.
In cotton seed meal we have another nj
trogenous manure of special value for the
market gardener, but as yet very little
appreciated. A ton contains about 40
pounds of nitrogen, 60 pounds of phos-
phoric acid, and 40 pounds of potash.
When mixed and composted with stable
manure it increases the comparative
amount of nitrogen of the latter, and
therefore its effectiveness. Gardeners
who keep stock should feed cotton seed
meal. 1t then gives double return,
namely, in increase of flesh and i'm
provement of manure. Where nitrate
of soda, on account of distance from
source of supply and consequent high
cost, cannot be used advantageously.
cotton seed meal can often be had at a
comparatively low price, and should
then be used in place of the nitrogen
compounds.
Potash in any special form is hardly
ever needed for the crops on common
garden land, since stable compost and
the average high grade complete fertil-
izer supply an abundance, and often an
excess of it, to the crops already. A Diff
ferent thing it is with peaty and mucky
soils. These have already an abundance
of the heterogeneous element, although
mostly in fixed combinations, and hence
in an unavailable FORM On the other
hand the mineral elements are scantily
supplied. Stable manure would add a
comparatively large amount of nitrogen
at great expense to the already vast
store, and but small quantities of phos-
phoric acid and potash. Such lands, for
that reason, can be made productive in
the cheapest and quickest way by appli-
cations of phosphoric acid and potash
in the form of plain superphosphate or
bonemeal in combination with wood
ashes.

SCATTERED throughout the 2. S07 coun-
ties of the United States there are nearly
IS. 900 postoffices. OF these about 10, 600
are money order offices, leaving nearly
$4,000 that have no other way of trans
hitting money or valuable matter than by
registered mail. These are mostly, if not
entirely, rural offices, remote from banks.
Last year the number of registered pieces
of mail was II, las, $50, of which there
were lost or destroyed 91s pieces. While
the revenue from the registry business
amounted to 1.2Ss. 900. not cent of in
demnity was paid to make good these
losses. To remedy this MIR. Kribbs, of
Penusylvsnis, introduced bill few days
ago to indemnify the senders of registered
domestic mail to an amount not exceed
ing SIS for money al IS for merchant
disc. The increased registry business
with this security would no doubt pay all
losses.

MANUREs FOR THE GARDEN.

Nitrates. Wood Ashes and Other Specific
Fertilizers Employed by Gardeners.
No other single manurial element
gives to the gardener the opportunities
and possibilities that he finds in nitrates,
especially in the form of nitrate of soda,
says Greiner, in his ''How to Make the
Garden Pay" The effects of this salt
on many garden crops is remarkable and
can generally be observed within few
days after its application in the darker
foliage and thrifty growth. 1t is readily
soluble and its nitrogen is in right form
for immediate absorption by the roots
of plants. The natural process of con-
verting unavailable heterogeneous mat
ter into soluble nitrates is very slow in
early spring. In nitrates we have Just
the element of plant food needed, and by
applying it in small quantities, as fast
as the plants can utilize it, we can stim-
ulate thrifty growth of foliage at
small cost.
Nitrate of soda contains about 10 or
IL per cent. of nitrogen, but this in
most soluble form, so that it would not
be safe to use it in large quantities at
time, for what is not at once converted
into plant structure will gradually sink
through the soil and be lost. The most
economical method is the application of
not over 100 pounds to $50 pounds per
acre, repeated at intervals of about two
weeks. If lumpy, pound fine before ap-
plying it. Scatter it over the ground
when the foliage of plants is dry, as it is
apt to scorch the leaves otherwise, or
still better, apply just before or during
rain, when it will be dissolved and car
ried into the soil at once. Sprinkling
over the land in solution is safe but
generally less convenient mode of appli-
cation.
Sulphate of ammonia is slower, but
more lasting in its effects, and it can be
applied in larger quantities or in single

seems to have been without sufficient
stamina to bear the chills OF the late

that Michigan holds hum to her heart

colored delegates from the south
on top when the Minneapolis convention
meets, but it is probable that they will be
served out to some candidate who Is the
first choice of his state, or made a means
to break states framed by the Senators
from Michigan, upon whom Alger may
lay responsibility for the failure to in
