s1LAGE F. SUMMER FEEDING.

The Southern White or ensilage corn
is preferred by many on account Of it
enormous growth. 1t should be planted
as early in spring as the danger Of frost
IS past, IN order to enable it to mature
more perfectly. It can be planted
similar to any other field corn, and
should have the same cultivation. It
has been demonstrated that silage is
often es good for summer feeding as
for winter. mean to experiment this
summer on making ersilage from rye
for summer use. The rye Will be cut
about May 10 or 90, and the ground
planted to corn for winter silage. Last
year cut a field of clover early for
hay eUd Immediately prepared and
planted the field to corn. After the
corn Waarem0ved IN the fall, the ground
was cultivated (never p7owe) and
s0wn to the rye, which will be SLICED
in Nay. This might be called intensive
formlIg with a vengeance, but farm
o-s must practice something ike it if
they with to succeed at present low
prices.
It IS necessary to plant an early vori.
ETY. Of corn if planted late. l have
planted as lac rs July b, in northern
Ohio, With coed SUCCESS. Last year it
we8 planted the last week in June. Al
though caught by on unusually early
frost, the corn made very good eusIage.
It had been planted in drills about
| twice Gs thick So ordinary field corn.
It developed c great many ears. some
Of which were well matured. Oae sd
vantage in late planting is TIE ease
with which It is kept clean. 1t does
not require more than half the labor
than when planted six or eight weeks
earlier. After the corn is removed the
ground requires but little preparation
before seeding to rye. One thorough
working with a spring-tooth harrow or
cultiyatOr, followed by a smoothing
harrow, is all that is required. [ have
sown rye as late as October Is h, with
good results. It was as rank as could
be desired, some being lodged. But in
order to bear such continued cropping
the land must be rich or highly ma
nured. 1t certainly will not pay to
waste time and labor on poor soil.-O.
J. Vine, Ohio, in American Agricul
t-E-ist.
Oue acre well prepared, fertilizsd
and cultivated, 10 matter what the
crop, will nearly always be twice as
profitable as the same will carelessly

AGRICULTURE.

Cut down your contemplated cotton

land in corn, potatoes, peas-any thing
except cottun and tobacco. Take
warning!

that way he VIII be able to vote off
the shackIcs of plutccrCcy. Don't wait
until it is too late.
Some Of our Northern agricultural
exchanges advise the planting of a
large potato crop this year. They are
a good product, but we can't see any
prospect Of a rise in prices, unless the
crop should be exceedingly short.
Nothing IS likely to 60 up much while
we have a single standard.
Almost anything spread thinly over

is vastly greater than all other inter

GOOD ROADS IN NEW JERSEY.
New Law Urder Which the State Hopes
to Improve It's Highways.

New Law Urder Which the State Hopes
to improve It's Highways.
From the Philadelphia Times: The
law under which the State of New Jer-
sey sets aside the sum Of 800, 900 an
nualIy for the construction Of perma
nent public roads has been in operation
two years. Under the terms of the act
State aid is cxtende d solely for the CON
stTuCtiCn Of nacaJamlz2d roads and
only to the extent Of one third of the
cost, the county being required to pay
for the other two thirds. It has been
found that fifty miles Of road per year
can be constructed on this plan, the
average cost being Sc 900 per mile In
road had been constructed, mostly in
five counties. The plan has been IN
operation long enough to d monstrate
its chiefs benefits, as we'll as some Of
It's defects. Among the latter is tue
narrow rOadbod authorized during the
first years experiment. The first com
missioner of pu oljc roads was anxious
TO stretch the appropriation to It's
utmost limit Of usefulness. Hestretched
it too much by limiting the stone road
bed TO not Ieasdhan ten nor more than
twelve feet. This compelled driving
in one ard the same path and resulted
10 ruts and raveled edges. The second
commissioner increased the width to
fourteen ard sixteen feet, aud hopes
with this additional law and the en-
force ment of the law against narrow
tires to secure better results. Another
noticeable defect has arisen from the
use OF stone of unequal sizes. The ordi
nary stone CrusheTs in use were not
qua ed small enough, and an occasion
al large piece, especially if large and
long, tends TO disintegrate the roadbed.
The commissioner recommends the use
Of smaller stone, aud demands thai
they be as nearly as possible uniform
in size and shape. In plain termP, a
little more care needs to be exercised
IN tho crushing of the stone 6nd in
placing and rolling in the roaGbcd.
While stone roads are Of an old dale
they require TO be as carefully con
structed now as Of old. Siipshod work
in road building produces as unsatis
factory results as in anything else The
most encouraging results OF the New
Jersey read law are hundred miles Of
permanent road and an increasing PUB
lie appreciation of the advantages cf
good roads. At first only few coun-
ties were willing 30 assume the cost OF
trying the experiment. TIE number
has grown in The two years from five
to fourteen. or tWO-tbiCd3 # tha coun
