profit appears to be small.
This is very desirable and in adj
dition the COW will be in better con
dition from the extra carr and feed,
the effects of which will be apparent
during the coming winter.
There should be a lesson learned
from this years experience, and that
is the Importance of making abundant
provision for the wants Of the dairy.
Where this is done there will be some
thing to rely on as it is wanted each
year, and more so when an extraordi

There need be no fear of loss in this
if all Of the crops grown for the pur,
pose are not wanted for fseding green,
as the surplus can be cured and kept
for future use. Nov is the time for
making arrangements for another
year.
Prepare, for a good out put of crops
suitable for feeding to the cows green
and to cure or better still put in the

are not eminently profitable and salts

ers' Bulletin No. 1O3.
Twelve subjects are discussed. TIE
first calls attention to the danger from
excessive irrigation and gives the rem
edy. The second treats of the ros poll
ination of plums, and the third of close
root pruning of trees. These are fol
lowed by articles on THE Oxeye

that the stave clio is the most praeti-
cal and successful silo which can be
constructed aud gives suggestions re-
garding the construction of such silos,
together with four illustrations show
ing sections OF the silo and general sp
pesrance of the completed structure.

you are right, then go ahead.
"'There is expended upwards of one

that you knew that. Unless you have
something worthy of advertising it
would not pay you. A poor thing will
never pay as an advertising proposition.
1t may for a moment, but the buying
public soon takes it's measure. B 1t an
article Of worth not only pays, but
creates and establishes your reputation
in your particular line of trade and
carries your good name beyond into
wider circles, yielding profits in years

Points.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Not often has there been a drouUh so
wide spread and severe as during the
present s9asen. This Is q large country
and it can hardly be expected that the
conditions of climate and temperature
will be the same ct all points, and
while INT portion may be srf sring
from want Of rain another may have
enough or even more than seems to be
required. The favorable portion this
year seen S to be the exception rather
than the rule, for the dry weather has
been p~rotrRctsd and severe over a very
large part Of the country.
Here in Vermont with tie exception
of the month o, July, when there was
a fair amount of rain, we have had but
Iittle-up to date of writing. AS a re-
suit the drouth is severe, the pastures
dry and brown, afording scarcely any
feed, and the water supply fast failing.
Mt withstanding this condition of
things the crops have been better than
could have been expected, but the
pinch is coming now in the caring and
maturing Of the corn crop, which is
being seDsibly affected by the con-
tinued dry weather. This will be par
ticularly felt where the corn is to be
husked. as a result more of the
crop will undoubtedly be put in the
silo without hus liog, where there are
such on the farm.
The results Of this continued drCuth
are becoming apparent in the ~leseen3rg
yield of dairy produces, and advance
in prices for the same. This should
naturally be expected and will moss
likely continue during the remainde
Of the season. OF course we shall ex
pect to have rain soon but it will be
too late to make much d. f9rence in
the growth Of feeds, but a supply OF
water will be particularly acceptable.
Now at a time when prices ar9 favor.
able for farmers, and particularly
dairymen, the yield of milk has gone
down from a fourth to a half on the
average. There will of course be a
few exceptions to this where abundant
provision hts been made for cattle feed
when the pastures fail, but a more
than usual amount will be needed, and
it is to be feared that many farmers
will fail OF having sufficient for prop
erly supplying so great q deficiency.
Those that are able TO do 80 may con-
slider themselves very fortunate.
With the feeding Of corn or other
soiling crops, if there is not an abund
ance, or even if there is apparently
enough, the farmer will find an ad-
vantage in experimenting this green
feed with a moderate amount of grain
OF a heterogeneous character, as wheat.
bran, ground oats gluten or cotton
seed. A mixture Of these will help to
make q better and more satisfactory
ration. The dairy nan should mo-
hesitate to do the best possible Under

Cuban Assembly Will Probably Dis.
solve-Other News.
Havana, March 24.-The military
assembly, owing to the absence of q
quoru m, held no meeting today. The
feeling is now that, as it Is clearly i'm.
possible for the assembly to raise funds
for the use of the army, the most logic
al course. all things considered. would
be to disband the army and dissolve.
A motion to this effect will undoubted-
ly be made soon. and will provoke
hot contest. The Cuban generals,
Dia5, Monteaguedo, Robau, Nodarse,
Betanoourt and Peraza, held another
secret meeting tonight. It is supposed
that, having consulted their commands,
they are now ready to take the side of
General Gomez against the assembly.
Orders have been issued to the police
to oonfscate all revolvers carried by
civilians, and already the results are
large collection Of miscellaneous arms.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon the tenn
perature in Havana was 81 degrees.
General Weyler's decree suspending
executions upon judgments will expire
with the present month, and the situa-
ton, especially regarding mortgages. is
somewhat complicated. Creditors and
