thought of. Experience has shown
that cypress and white hemlock give
good results.
The willing boy or hired man may
be ambitious to handle the brush.
Let them occasionally spread coat OF
suitable wood preservative over the

For removing the ensilage from the
silo there must be openings in the form
of doors, or an open section. Doors
were formerly used until something
more economical and labor-saving was
devised The silage being such heavy
product and so concentrated, it is econ
omy in labor and cost of handling to
have the silo that is made with con-
tinuous opening front. This allows
the discharge out of the silo at all
points down the front of the vessel az
the feeding season advances.
Ensilage originated from the felt
need of having low cost succulent
cattle food for winter feeding. Sowell
has it served that purpose that when
the midsummer pastures become short
the silo is coming to be well regarded
also for summer and autumn feeding.
This should be remembered when the
size of the silo is chosen.-Farm Jour.

THE DAIRY TYPE cow.
Averages of q Large Herd for
y Series Of Years.

Careful experiments show that the
dairy type of COW yields on an average
$500 pounds of milk yearly, while the
cow with beef heredity and tendency
yields 4,5o0 pounds under similar condi.
tions, says the Farm, Stock and Home.
When milk brings a dollar hundred,
as is now the case, the net income from
the butter from the dairy COW, whose
milk averages four per cent. fat, is $45,
while that from the COW of beef type
and whose milk only averages IS per
cent. fat. is only sgt. The feeding value
of the skim milk giving four per cent.
butter is worth one-seventh more per
pound than is the milk containing IS
per cent. Adding the actual value Of
the skim milk of each COW to the net re.
turns for butter, we get from the dairy
COW SIS and from the other $33. These
figures are taken from averages of a
herd for series of years and under the
most favorable conditions Another
very important result should be noted
in this connection. and that is that the
cows having fesh-forming tendency
remain useful in the herd for only halt
as long as do the dairy type cows, and
that the former are more apt to con-
tract disease than is the spare COW.

The terrible earthquakes which hav.
recently occurred in Iceland, beginning
IN the last week of August, have been
more severe than any that have shaken
that island since 1884. In the extent of
country affected they are the greatest
ever known there. During the worst
shock landslides rushed from the noun
tains, huge rocks fell from the sleeper
peaks, pastures were buried, farm
houses were destroyed-though for
tunately, with very little loss of life
new geysers were formed and old ones
ceased to flow, and deep chasms and
assures opened in the ground. 1t is re-
ported that the natives earnestly hope
that one of the great volcanoes will
break into activity, as they believe that
would put an end to the earthquakes by
relieving the subterranean .stress.-

is expressed here at the betrothal of
Prince Albert, heir presumptive to the

Every one is pleased with Princess
Elizabeth and thinks she will make an
excellent queen. Your correspondent is
informed by one of the princes entour-
age that the popular idea that this is
love match is quite correct. The royal
pair were drawn together by pure af-

is a source of great pleasure to the
Count and Countess of Flanders as we'll
