DiuestibiIty Of EusiIape.

There can be no doubt that ensilaged
food, being succulent, is much more d.
gcstible in winter than the dry food
that it then supersedes. II there is a
little fermentation in it, that shows
that the food is already partly decom-
posed and more ready for the gastric
juices to act on. But to effect this
advantage the succulent ensilage has
lost some Of its carbonaceous and more
Of It's heterogeneous matter. This Is rep
resented by the carbOnic acid gas at the
top of the silO, which is relied upon to
keep it sweet by excluding oxygen and
preventing further fermentation.

Manure for Strawberries.

The strawberry plantation requires
very heavy manuring to produce its
best yield. Every year on most plants
there Is succession of berries, the
first and second picklngs being almost
always larger and finer than those that
ripen later. But II the later season Is
very wet, as 1t sometimes Is, we have
known the later crop to ripen up and
he very nearly as good as the first.
This suggests that In addition to the
top dressing applied in winter there
ought to be an additional fertilization,
while the crop Is forming. and this last
should be always dissolved in water,
No as to he readily available. Nitrate
Of potash IL the best manure to he thus
applied. This Is saltpetre, and costs
five to six cents per pound. But very
small lump dissolved In warm water
and applied freely will keep the vines
fresh and vigorous to the last. and will
make a great increase in the size of the
fruit. The labor OF applying liquid ma
nure Is more than its cost, and Is great
er than can be generally afforded for
any other crop than the strawberry.

The whole story came out at st.

Key West with a firm conviction that
Cervera would go 70 Cieutuegos. Un-
fortunately while Schley WAS guarding
Cienfuegos, Cervers was 8: Santiago.
The first news of his arrival there
came through telegraph operator at
Havana, who inadvertently let slip

to an operator at Key West and not
from Schley a. all.

first refusing to accept orders from
subordinate, declaring that Cervera
would go to Cienfuegos. He reluct-
antly returned to Santiago, to fiod that
the Spaniards had fortunately not
made dash for liberty, as they might
easily have done.
The cabinet considered the case, and
were uuar imously of the opinion that
Schley should be relieved of his COM
mand at once and Watson put In his
placeE The pres dent came to his re-
lief by deciding that, as the blunder
had had no serious results, Schley
should be retained IN command Of his
squadron, but put under the immediate
orders of Samrsor.
