Suggestions on Making Paiatabie and
Nutritious Ensilage- Most Farmers

Preference for Sailed Hay Notes.

The dairyman who owns silo usu-
ally needs very little advice on the
points involved in making palatable
and nutritious ensilage, but suggestions
are always welcome. and the followihg
from the American Cultivator is worth
considering:
There is not the need that used to be
supposed of doing the work OF cuttlhs
In single day. SO that fermentation
could not begin until after the top was
covered with some weight TO press the
sllage together. The effect OF fermenta-
ton Is TO llberate carbonic acid gas
This is heavier than the common air,
and therefore remains in the silo unless
there is a hole near the bottom TO send

care should be taken to see that insects
or mice have not drilled holes through
the woodwork of the silo during the
time 1t has been unoccupied. IL such
holes can be found they should be COW

The shorter the sllage Is cut the better
1t Will keep, because short silage packs
itself closely aud incloses little air. 1t
Is the amount of which the silage holds
at the beginning that determines how
much 1t shall ferment. If the amount
Is small the sllage will come out sweet.
The richness of the silage has much to
do with its sweetness or sourness. Corn

GREATEST OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Larger and Heavier than Any Other
PreXiOnsIy Built.


A leyiathan on wheels has just been
introduced on the system operated in
connection with the various works OF
the Carnegie Steel Company. The loco
motive Is the largest and heaviest In
the world, powerful enough, II ii were
put to the test, to haul more than the
entire cargo of great freight steamer.
1t was built by the Pitsburg Locomo-
live Works on an order from the
Union Railroad Company of Pittsburg.
1t Is not only larger and heavier as a
whole than any locomotive previously
built but exceeds all others In many
of It's essential details. The weight ON
the drivers Is 20S.000 pounds. The Mex
lean Central double-boller locomotives
have 100000 pounds on two separate
driving wheel bases. and the tank loco
motives of the st. Clair tunnel have
1885, pounds on ten driving wheels.
The twelye-w heel locomotives of the
Great Northern Railroas have n total
of weight of 212,T50 opounds. of which
only 172000 pounds are on the driving
wheels. The cylinders OF the new loco
motive are 23x32 inches, as compared
with 21x34 inches for the Great North
ern. and Its total boller-heating surface
is 1892 square feet. as compared with
3. 230 on the Great Northern. 1t not only
has greater weight on its drivers, but
exceeds also In cylinder power and In
the steam-produclng capacity of the
boiler the most powerful locomotives
ever constructed
An indication of the power of the To-
connective Is furnished by the character
Of the work demanded of 1t. About
four miles of the line upon which 1t is
operated has grade of seventy feet
nile, and on one stretch of about 1000
feet, up across the main line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and reaching to
the foot of 70-foot hill, has grade OF
