ALL THE PORTS OPEN NOW.
Ships May Trade with Cuban and Porto
RIcan Cities at win.

AlcHu Nltiob ~ VIII
WASHINGTON, Aug, 15,-The mer-
chant vessels OF the world are now
open to enter and leave all Cuban and
Porto Rican ports. The state depart
ment holds no further proclamation is
needed raising the blockade OF these
islands. The orders issued to the mil
itary and naval commanders and the
Presidents proclamation of peace are
said to be sufficient in themselves to
end the blockade and open all ports to
the shipping of the world. This means
much not only to Spain and the be.
leaguered islands, but to the merchant
shipping Of GreatBritain, France, Ger
many and other countries having COM
merce with Cuba and Porto Rico.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
1sometimes think it would be more
profitable TO our fellow workers il we
would sometimes relate our failures or
mistakes instead Of always writing of
our success. Last year we made q
mistake which cost us q valuable COW.
&c was inexpensive lesson, and I have
thought that perhaps by relating it
some one else might be benefited by
our lesson. The COW referred to was
g fine large animal, when in milk q.
very flush mixer due Co be fresh i'm
May. She with the rest Of her herd
was running ON q pasture Of rye and
oats, each morning the milk COWS were
fed q feed Of oats and bran and coca
sionally she was allowed 20 eat with
the mixers. We noticed her bag was
filing up and so MIXED her before she
was fresh. She gave q candy pail full
OF milk at q milking. In "a hours after
the calf was born the COW was dead
from milk fevers As soon as we dis
covered she was sick i've commenced
doctOring her, butsan we could do was
Of no use. We are confident now it
was liberal feedipg that caused her
death, and he~nceforth viii feed more
dry feed to COWS expected to be fresh
at this time OF year when pastures are
good, even if we have to keep the cows
stabbed part Of the time. We believe
that an ounce Of prevention i'm O case
OF this kind IL worth ten pounds Of
cure. Our COW was too far gone before
we noticed she was ailing for any
medicine TO cure her. If any reader
knows OF any sure cure after the COW
Ia sick, please let US know through the
columns Of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

FROM FLIES.

Doubtless many readers Of THE Pro
aREssTvE FARMER would be glad to
know some way to protect their COWS
from flies.
An old, tried and true remedy for
flies is pine tar and grease. Many a
fisherman has found this a welcome
protection TO his own person whilst
pursuing his art destructive to the
6nny tribe. For our COWS there can
be found no more effective remedy for
the attacks of flies, and probably no
cheaper one than pine tar one part and
crude cotton seed oil two parts. Il
too thick add more oil, but the more
oil the more expensive, and less dirty
it makes the COWS. We have used two
parts Of oil TO one of tar, being careful
TO brush il on with q piece Of coarse
burlap and not to use enough to make
the hairy very sticky, but enough 80
about two applications per week win
keep flies looking elsewhere than on
cattle thus smeared for q free lunch.
The best protection against flies yet
tried at the Experiment Farm has
been clutches Of chickens used in com
bination with care TO clean up the COW
yard regularly. All droppings are
brought daily to the manure pit, and
near this the chicks have had their
homes so they find fruitful scratching
ground and grow fat on fly larvae.

THE slLo IN

The silo enables dairymen to preserve
their best and cheapest plant, corn, in
it's best possible condition for six
months or longer. It also can be used
similarly TO preserve other forage. The
bad points Of the system come from q
determination Of almost all Of its advo-
Gates to build the clio above the ground.
While it is possible to so build, it costs
too much to get the infsxible require
ments Of strength, air tightness and
durability. I consider the largest corn
that can be grown, that viii mature to
glazing or dentiDg, to be the best. I
pluck no ears. The siIo must be air.
tight; to be SO requires strength, smooth
walls, no concave spots and should be-
larger at the top than the bottom.-F.
