TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

and the cow herself will do better.
Cream should be churned on the
day that it is taken from the milk,
but should be well stirred and al
lowed to ripen evenly before it is put
into the churn.

UNDERGROUND SHOES.
EnsiIage Keeps as Well In Them a
in the Ordinary AbOve-Ground
Wooden Structures.

Prof. Roberts at Cornell university
some years since built smallest silo
of brick. Briefly speaking, it was
nothing more Or less than a cistern'
The top was nearly all arched over.
simply room enough left to accommo.
date the egress and and ingress of the
ensilage. The opening, which was
level with the ground, was closed with
a cover of matched boards, and earth
was thrown over it to the depth OF
about one foot. The ensilage appar-
emily kept as well in this pit as it did
in the above-ground wooden slices.
Some years ago an effort was made
to improve the quality of the ensilage
by introducing carbonic acid gas into
the silo, but this was found to be too
expensive. Then there was an effort
made to exhaust the oxygen in the sllo
by putting ignited charcoal in metal
pail which was lowered into the pit,
and then the opening was closed. The
object of this was to burn up the
oxygen and produce poisonous gas
which it was hoped would help to ar
rest decomposition. This effort to i'm
prove the quality of the ensilage did
not meet with results marked enough
to continue its use, yet it did seem to
produce some beneficial effects. The
objection to such silo is that it is in
convenient when the ensilage is to be
removed. However, on the other hand,
it is extremely simple in that no car
riers have to be employed to elevate
the material: and since the farmers
time is of little account in the winter,
| lie may consent to do the extra work
necessary to remove the ensilage from
the underground pit to economic in
putting it in, and to secure silo which
will neither rot out, blow down NOT
admit of the entrance of air or water
through it's sides. provided it is well
built and plastered properly on the in
side.-Country Gentleman.

During a presentation of 'Tosca" a number
