We do not think that those who have had most experience with silage con- slider sweet corn materially better than any other variety of corn, says Hoard's Dairyman in answer to an inquiry. They think the most important consid- eration is to plant that kind of corn which will certainly mature and, one year with another, yield the largest amount of forage. It Is claimed that sweet corn Is a little more disposed to make an acid silage than are other va rieties, but this acidity is not very serious objection. All silage Is more or less sour. The principal distinction be- tween what is known as sweet. silage and that which Is known as sour silage Is In their respective feeding values. Unripe corn makes a 80 called sour si- lage, and at the same time unripe corn contains less nutriment than mature corn. When silage is especially sour, we conclude that 1t Is made from i'm mature corn and therefore carries less nutriment than the same amount of si- lage made from corn more mature. It is now the universal opinion that the best silage from flint varieties of corn is made when the ears are fairly we'll glazed and from the dent varieties of corn when the kernels are pretty well dented. the lower leaves of the stalk commencing to turn and some of the husks of the more mature ears getting approximately dry and hard.

Gurler states that he has had silage butter tested for weeks at a time by experts, who were unable to tell whether 1t came from silage fed COWS or not. He thinks the trouble comes In exposing milk in open vessels near fresh silage. This is about the only way silage will injure milk or butter.
 That Cornstalk Disease.
 Wide is the discussion and much is the study concerning the cornstalk dis ease; still no one has found a cure, al- though many experiments have been made. No one really seems to know the cause of the disease, writes B. E. Synder in Prairie Farmer. Some think 1t is caused by a too sudden change from green pasture to the coarse dry feed which forms a compaction in the stomach or intestines or causes indiges- ton. Others claim that 1t Is due to smut or blight, and still others, good authority on the subject, assert that it is not contagious. was told not long since by a man who had made an eX- animation of some cattle that he had lost that he had found on the second lining of the stomach a black coating resembling smut Some will turn their stock out In the fall Do not make too sudden a change from grass to stalks and keep plenty of salt on hand. have noticed that the man who is fortunate enough to have. a meadow near his stalkf1eld or feeds other green feed in connection with the stalks until the cattle are used to the dry feed seldom loses any form from this disease

-he16re0 munn 1n en0 matter Of the bankrupt estate of Hiram J. Dings of Canaan finds that one of the horses, the wagon. harness and sleigh were subject to chattel mortgage, made in Lee, Mass, in 1895 where Dings was then located, that the mortgage is still in force and as it is larger than the value of the property there was no equity in the property for the estate. The mortgage was later bought by Jacob Dings for $20O. The referee finds that the other horse is the prop erty of Jacob A. DiDgs and that the bankrupt had never had any interest or title to it. Another hearing has been granted so that the claimant to the hay may be heard.

STORMS ON PACIFIC COAST.
Pressure Greater Than That at
Galveston Last Year.
SUFFERING AT PRESIDE,

San. Francisco, Feb. 27.-0ne of the
heaviest southwest storms that has
ever been experienced in many years
struck this city in the morning. The
wind attained great velocity, blowing
As miles an hour in the city, while at
Point Reyes it reached 60 miles. Ships
dragged their anchors or broke their
mornings at their docks, fishing boat
was capsized, the telephone and cleo
trio wires were down and awnings,
shade trees and fences were wrecked
and pedestrians were greatly incon-
venienced
Telegraph communication with the
outside world was shut off. The full
force of the storm was felt on the bay
and the bar was SO rough that vessels
were unable to leave port.
Three-story houses were blown down
in the Mission district. The gale as it
swept over the Preside reservation
left in it trail wreck and ruin.
To the soldiers, the wreck of the
tents was serious affair, for the ma
jority of them had all their possessions
under the tents and before they could
collect their belongings they were
thoroughly soaked by rain.
The recorded pressure was barely
one inch more than that at the time OF
the Galveston storm a year ago. The
pressure at that time was AS, which
is the lowest ever recorded in the Uni
ted States.

THREE WOMAN'S ERAS.
Ages of Elizabeth. Anne and Victoria
Were Remarkable Epochs.

Ages of Elizabeth. Anne and Victoria
We're Remarkable Epochs.
1t is a remarkable fact that three
sovereign ladies-Elizabeth, Anne and
Victoria-have given their names to
the three greatest periods of English
literature, which were also eras of nota-
BILE military conquest. Elizabeth, herself
a learned but stilted and pedantic
writer, gave an impulse to authorship
which eliminated in Shakespeare and
Bacon and brilliant galaxy of lesser
lights. The reign of Queen Anne, a
dull, commonplace, indolent woman
with no intellectual aspirations, was
rendered illustrious by the genius of
Prior, Pope, Swift, Addison, Defoe,
Congreve and other authors, while
Newton and Berkeley were making
valuable discoveries in science, which
valuable discoveries in science, then
in its infancy, and Marlborough was
winning brilliant victories.
Space fails for mention of even the
foremost of the writer's who have lent
honor and renown to the Victorian
age-names familiar as housewords.

says in authorship-chronic of the
travels and domestic life of the royal
family in its various resorts, which
greatly endeared her to her people, for
even the most trivial personal details
of the reigning house are of surprising
interest Remarkable as were the
literary achievements of the Victorian
age, and worthy as were the contribu-
tons to art and music, they fall far
below the signal triumphs achieved by
science in this reign of almost sixty
four years-the longest in British an
nails.
Still greater than all the achieve
ments of art, literature and science,
which have lent such luster to the
Victorian age, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, are its abolition of ancient
abuses, the educational and philan-
thropical activities, its efforts for
ameliorating the horrors of war and
for settling international difficulties
by peaceful arbitration rather than by
the sword.
