A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.

NEW YORK, April 22. -The following
letter from Lady Henry Somerset has
been received here from Ryegate, Eng:
"My attention has been called to the
utterly unfounded charges made against
me by Mr.. Hicks a few weeks since on
the eve of my sailing for home. The
Ignorance of Mr.. Hicks concerning the
laws Of English entailed property must be
his excuse for the absurd statements he
makes about my country estates His
attack Is hbellous, but IL all the libels
against reformers were brought before the
courts we should have but little time for
useful occupations. Ny experience Of the
fairness of the American press makes me
confident that this communication will
be circulated as an act Of justice to one
who has always written and spoken as a
friend and not critic Of the Newer Eng

The Gazette of Saturday said that in

terms demanded for peace, urging that
tho oession Of territory upon the main

The three powers Germany Russia

The Massachusetts society for the
promotion of agriculture has recently
published in book form the results of
its thorough investigation as to the in
fcctiousness of milk from tuberculous
cows. The object was to determine,
especially, whether the infectious ele-
ment of tuberculosis ever existed in
milk from tuberculous cows whose I'D
ders are apparently healthy. Some of
the results, briefly. are as follows:
Eighty EIGHT guinea pigs were inocu-
lated with milk from Is COWS; tubercu-
losis was found in twelve of these pigs,
after using milk from six different
cows. Ninety-fiye rabbits were in
oculated, and six of them found with
tuberculosis. Milk of tuberculous
COWS was fed to 4S rabbits, and two
showed tuberculosis. Twelve pigs
were fed on the milk and five produced
positive results, with suspicion in two
others. Twenty-one calves produced
eight with tuberculosis. Circular lot
ters were sent out to physicians and
veterinary surgeons, asking whether
they had ever seen "A case of
tuberculosis that could be traced
to the milk supply. Answers
we're received from 991. of which
S. had seen or suspected the ex-
istence OF such cases. This is less
than per cent. which the trustees re-
,:ard as remarkably small. The con-
illusions of the report are as follows:
l. While the transmission of tuber-
culosis by milk is probably not the
most important means by which the
disease is propagated. it is something
to be guarded against most carefully.
2 The possibility of milk from tu-
berculous udders containing the infec-
tious element is undeniable.
3. With the evidence here presented.
it is equally undeniable that milk from
diseased cows with no appreciable le-
sion of the udder may, and not infre-
quently does. contain the bacillus O:
the disease.
4. Therefore all such milk should be
condemned for food.

known dalryman John Gould of Ohio
as given by l.. S. Hardin in Home and
Farm:
Mr.. Gould rather favors building the
siio IN the barn. as that saves roof
ana gives outside protection. the silo
Delns merely big box. The room
taken up supplies so much more feed
thah the same space occupied by the
nay that the apparent loss is a real
gain. Here not stone foundation is
needed. All that is required is to dig
trench the size Of the silo, large
enough to receive 1O-inch square sill
and bed it in mortar underneath and
on the sides to firm it. Set up the 2x6
men studding Is inches apart from CEN
ter to center and line up on the inside
with inch lumber 10 inches wide, cross
locked at the corner and so securely
That it will be impossible to pull it
apart. Cover on the inside Of the first
lining with cheap tarred paper, then
run on another layer of the same kind
OF lumber; put 1t on with half lap, so
as to break the joint in the first layer
and nail we'll with 10-penny wire nails.
10 make sure that the corners are
tight have a 3X3-inch scantling sawed
through cornerwise and nail these into
the corners with backing of paper
we'll painted with gas tar. The silage
is taken out with small doors unhing-
ed, set In from inside The pressure Of
the silage holds them securely in place.
and these are taken out one by one Us
the feeding Of the si]age progresses.
When the walls of the silo are finished
and painted with a paint made of 3
quarts of gas tar and quarts of gaso-
line we'll Undertaking care that no
fire comes near it in mixing or apply
ing-the floor may be made by drawing
the soil from the center of the silo up
to and pounding down against the side
walls until the floor is in the form of
kettle. Wetted when pounded. and of
clay, this makes one of the best floors.
Mr.. Gould has two slices of this kind
built eight years ago, holding 200 tons
of silage that did not cost 500. He
uses no coverings or weight to the en-
silage, but when the heat begins to ap-
pear he scatters evenly over the top of
silage 10 or Is pals Of water, which
causes an air-tight mold to form. which
answers every purpose and he says
! causes the waste of less than wagon
bed full of silage. Surely any farmer
could make such silo as here describ-
ed at less than $50 apiece, of 1OO-ton
capacity; this would be or 8 acres OF
corn fodder per silo.
