Ensilage for Horses.

&c the silo is to be built in the barn,
should surely build a rectangular one,
because of economy of room; if it is to
be out, I would prefer round one, so
as to avoid angles. This kind is also
strong and cheap. I should use 2 by
4 studding, and hoop by horizontal sid
ing of Inch stuff inside and out. !
should use a double thickness of this
overlapping it. The great point in a
silo is that it shall be alright; hence I
should put paper between the two layers
of siding, at least on the inside, and
coat all with coal tar. am not sure,
however, but that the plastered silo will
prove the most satisfactory in the end.
My first silo, now in use for several
years, has a plastered wall, which is very
hard and excellent. have washed it
each year with thick water lime wash
before filing the silo. This costs but
little and fills all possible cracks, and, I
think, preserves the plaster. The plaster
costs but very little more than the tar
ring and in the end may prove the
cheaper. We're to build another out
door silo, should build it round and
plaster it on the inside. My octagonal
silo is excellent; almost equal to a round
one. still think the cut straw cover
about two feet-with a few boards to
hold it down, is excellent. My loss from
decay with this method is almost moth
ing.

no need to have any that is not of the
best. By feeding ensilage can give to
my horses the sleek coat that is observed

ton is formed better than at any other
time. Young colts trained for the track
are put to work at 2 years old and run
races. The farm horse may be taught
anything the owner wishes before this
age, and may earn it's living at light
work before it is years old. A regular
course of gentle and kind training is in
dispensable.
The first lesson is the use of the halter
and the confinement by it. If it is tied
up in small stall near the dam and let
loose twice during the day and all night
and taught to be led, the greater part of
its education has been accomplished,

Report ON Cattle Diseases.

The Especial Report on Diseases of
Cattle and Cattle Feeding" to which
reference was recently made, has just
been issued by the department of agri-
culture. It has been prepared on the
same plan as the Report on Diseases Of
the Horse" which was in such great de-
mand. Those contributing to the new
volume are Professor Law, DR.. A. j.
Murray, DR.. William Herbert Lowe, the
late DR.. v. T. Atkinson, the late DR..
William Dickson, DR.. M. R. Trumbower,
DR.. Theobald Smith and DR.. Salmon.
To the veterinary portion of this re-
port is added an article on "The Feeding
and Management of Cattle, " by Professor
W. A. Henry, which DR.. Salmon thus
characterizes in his letter of transmittal,
This may justly be regarded as the
clearest and most succinct presentation
Of this subject which has ever been pub
lished, while it is probably the only arti-
Gle Of the kind in which the results of

Copies of this report may be obtained
on application to Secretary J. M. Rusk,

demand for the report first issued-ne-
cessitating new editions it would be adj
visable TO make early application for the

The Cheese, Factory.


I think the Babcock test is very little
understood by the average dairyman,
and the benefits thereof are scarcely re-
allied by those who use it. The benefit
in cheese factories is not only a just and
equitable division of the actual value of
the milk delivered by the patrons, but
will also show them whether their cows
are turning their costly feed into milk
nearly all water, and consequently of
little value, or whether they are turning
it into butter fat, which brings the cash.
There is no doubt in the minds of our
most intelligent dairymen that the but
ter fat is SO per cent. of the value of
milk made into butter or cheese. Such
being the case, it is evident that any test
that will accurately measure the butter
fat in milk will give its actual value.
Patrons, remember when you deliver
your large mess of low per cent. milk to
the factory that the same feed would
probably have put more money into the
pool had you delivered smaller guam
tity of better quality milk.
Maybe you don't see the point, but the
maker can't get more out of the milk
than there is in it, and you will have to
take part of your dividend in thin whey.
Where the dividends are made from the
weight of the milk alone, you may think
the more milk the more money, but re-
member every man is thinking the same
thing, and maybe somebody else is
ahead Of you in the race for quantity.
You can have this consolation, how
ever-if he is ahead probably the money
he has put into the pool has cost him
more feed than what you put in has cost
you. I believe it to be fairer and bet
ter way, and patrons and maker will be
benefited by making the dividends by
the test.-W. Ell. De Long in Practical
Dairyman.
Linseed Meal.
The ground product leftafter the oil has
been extracted from faxseed is valuable
food when given in small quantities.
Too much of it is too laxative for horse
and has bad effect on the butter Of
COWS. It is a highly heterogeneous food
and it's great value lies in the fact that
a little of it will .balance" ration COM
posed largely Of rough fodder. For ex-
ample, the writer is feeding horse on
corn fodder instead of timothy hay. A
pound Of oilmeal per day with the fod-
der and usual grain keeps the animal in
fine condition, apparently as well as when
fed on the hay.
A workhorse of average weight might
be fed a daily ration of Is pounds of
hay, 6 of oats and of linseed meal. We
should not feed over two pounds per
day to horse, and it should be fed very
cautiously at first, as some horses are
unable to eat even that quantity without
securing. For young stock two rations
might be tried:
1. Fifteen pounds corn stalks, 10
pounds wheat bran, 8 pounds linseed
meal.
q Fifteen pounds hay, 8 pounds corn
meal, A pounds wheat bran, 2 pounds

The bran will be profitable to buy for
the young stock, though crushed oats

The Tag on Leaf TOBACCO.

The National Tobacco Manufacturers
Association. which was I'm session in
Louisville. KY, on Monday last, passed
a resolution asking Congress TO impose a
tax Of cents per pound on leaf tobacco
in broken packages. This request is
made because the manufacturers con-
slider the law as 1t stands unjust, seeing
that it seems TO discriminate against
them.
This. the reader win understand is not
the tax the increase Of which we have
been antagonizng for the last twelve
months. The increase Of the tax on man
ufactured tobacco would subject the man
ufaciurers to an expense which there is
no good reason for laying upon their
shoulders. The subject is already under
consideration In the Committee OF ways
and Means OF the House Of Representa-
tives. and will in due time be acted upon.
The Virginia and North Carolina con-
gressmen are said to be opposed TO the
Objectionable addition TO the tax on manu-
facturers Of tobacco.

The Forthcoming Tariff Bill.

1t seems to be conceded or assumed
that whatever changes In the tariff are
agreed upon by the Democrats of the

The dement's as well as the merits oil

A Permanent Virginia Exhibit.

Yes; let us have a permanent exhibit
OF the material resources Of Virginia here
AT the capital The wisdom Of our Gen
eral Assembly in making an sppropria-
ton for the erection OF the State Library
building win be more than ever appreci-
ated By the people Of the State IL 1t shall
prove TO be the means Of giving us such
an exhibit. IL the present library-room,
when vacated. will not do for the purpose
Cmany persons think It Win an annex to
the new library building can be run up
at small cost.
With permanent exhibit at Richmond
the State will never again be at loss 10
make good showing at an exposition
or fair. And when investors seek TO
know something OF the resources Of this
Commonwealth we shall only have 10
take them to the permanent exhibit and
polnt out specimens of coal OF this county
the iron ore Of that, the woods Of this
the fishes Of that.
Above all, this exhibit would educate
our own people. These must be brought
70 a knowledge OF the resources and capa-
bilities Of Virginia before we can nope
to make very much impression upon the
understanding of outsiders At present
we regret 10 say. there is among Vir-
ginians great ignorance on the subject
Before we begin to teach others we must
ourselves learn. How can this be accom-
pllshed better than through the medium
OF a permanent exhibit?
North Carolina has an exhibit Of this
character I'm connection with her agrl-
cultural department. and the consequence
has been that she has always had good
exhibits at the great expositlons. In en-
terprises Of this character she has been
a long way ahead Of Virginia.
The opportunity Is now ripe for us TO
show the world-ourselves ineluded-that
Virginia is great not only in her past but
in the present. And one way to this end
is a permanent exhibition.
