Corn and Sunfower Ensilage.-An
Ontario farmer reports that he grows
sunfiowers heads to mix with his corn
ensilage. The heads are cut Off, par
TALLY dried, and run through the en-
silage cutter with the corn, one ton
of heads to eight tons of corn. This
is said to make a very palatable feed,
and makes much smaller grain ra-
ton necessary. For six years his
yields of sunflower heads have aver
aged frosn four to nearly eight tons to
the acre. Cattle are said to pick the
suntlower feed out of the ensilage and
eat 1t before touching the corn. This
may prove cheap and easy way to In
crease the protein supply on the farm.
The sunflowers are planted adjoining
kbs corn and get the same cultivation.

Three countries contribute the live
cattle supplies to Great Britain, name
ly. the United States, Canada and Ar
gentine. These countries sent in 1895
respectively 100000 head, 100000 head
and $4,000 head. Argentina is push
ing this business with great energy
and attention. The Improvement in
its cattle arriving at English ports
during the last two years has been
little short of marvellous. Numbers
OF fine bulls have been sent from Eng
land and France, and the Argentine
herds are being graded up with great
rapidly. The Argentine is bound to
be a sharp competitor with us in the
near future. Climatic conditions or
ether reasons prevent the Canadians
from competing with us in quality, but
the time is coming when Argentina
will be sending fine cattle to England
in such numbers and of such quality
and at such prices as to compete serl-
ously with us. North Queensland will
also have to be reckoned with. but
that competition is farther in the. fu-
ture. Their attempt to send live cat
tie has so far proved little short Of
disastrous United States cattle have
now reached such excellence as to
challenge comparison with the best
English and Scotch. and it is well
known that most of the American beef
reaches the consumer under the name
of English or Scotch beef.--I.orin A.
Lathrop, United States consul at Bris-
toll, England.

crust in dry weather following rains
or irrigation. Two distinct classes Of
alkali are known: White alkali, COM

harmless; aad black eii1n, composed

 CONSOLIDATED ELECTRIC. MT.
 H. L. Chandler, accompanied by Walter Bennett, was before the board of super
 visOrs yesterday afternoon in the mat | ter of an application for right of way | for an electric light line along the road from the electric plant of the Consoli- dated Canal company to Tempe The
 only objection that was presented was | that the superViSorSehad already grant,
 ed the M & P. a right of way covering
 the county's jurisdiction for a consid-
 erable part of the road. Mir Bennett
 explained that that franchise was ex- elusive in so far only as it would pro- tect the company from actual interfer- ence with it's operation. A line of cleo
 tric light poles would offer no such in
 reference. The board finally allowed
 the right of way, the poles of the elec-
 tr1c light company to be planted on
 the north side of the track, while the railroad company's telegraph line is on the south side. The right of way was asked for only to Hayden's corner. From that point the company has the promise of private right The work of constructing the line will be com menced al once.

REED BIDS MAINE FAREWELL.
Open Letter to His Friends of the
First District.

First District.
The Press of Portland, Me-, prints the
following this morning:
ITO the Republicans of the First Maine
District:
while l am naturally reluctant to OBJ
trude myself again upon public attention,
even here at home, l sure no one would
expect me to leave the first Maine district
after long a service without some words
expressing to you my appreciation of your
friendship and my gratitude for your gen
erous treatment Words alone are quite
inadequate, and 1 must appeal to your
memories.
During three and twenty years of politt-
cal life, not always peaceful, you have
never questioned single public act of
mine. Other men have had to look after
their districts. My district has looked
after me. This. in the place where l was
born where you know my shortcomings
as well as l do myself, gives me right TO
be proud of my relations with you No
honors ever quite like those which come
from home.
1T would not be Just for me to withhold
my thanks from those democrats who
have so often given me their votes This
friendship l can acknowledge with all pro-
prety even in letter to republicans, for
both they and you know that | have never
trimmed sail to catch the passing breeze
ever flown doubtful flag.
"Offce as a ribbon to stick in your coat
is worth nobody's consideration. Office as
opportunity is worth all consideration.
That opportunity you have given me un-
trammeled in the fullest and amplest meas
ure, and | return you sincereSt thanks. If
I have deserved any praise, it belongs of
right to you.
"Whatever may happen, I am sure that
the first Maine district will always be true
to the principles of liberty, self-govern-
ment and the rights of man.
