About fifteen years ago the plan of
stacking grass and compacting it by
means of mechanical appliances was
widely advocated in England. The
English Agricultural Gazette, June 30,
1856, said editorially that the silage
stack is plainly the silage factory of
the future. Various devices were in
vented for compacting the silo. There
were two general forms of building
such stacks-fat topped and peak top
ped stacks. The Royal Agricultural
Society of England awarded prize of
$125 for device to compact the latter
style of stack. 1t consisted merely Of
a flexible galvanized iron wire rope so
adjusted to a stack that the pressure
of $50 pounds per square foot could be
placed thereon.
The plan of stacking grass or clover
while green had been tried in this
country. While the product was pala-
table enough, the loss of material due
to fermentation was altogether too
great to make the process economical.
1 judge that the practice is no longer
in vogue in England.-Professor +. f.

Shredded Corn For Horses.
Tests of shredded corn fodder as
feed for horses have been made at
several experiment stations, and the
estimate varies at from 80 to 100 per
cent value compared with timothy
the usual standard. At the Vermont
station corn fodder gave as good re-
suits as timothy with work stock.
For idle horses it proved to be rather
more indigestable than timothy. In
this, however, all tests agree: Corn
fodder is altogether too valuable for
hay to be permitted to dry up In the
field, as is the custom in the south
west.

Very few farmers realize the impor-
lance of giving hogs all the pure water
they require at all times. In many
places they are watered once or twice
a day. The lots and pastures should
be so arranged that the hogs can get
to the water in trough whenever they
desire it. This is especially important
during the hot days of early spring as
well as the excessively hot weather In
August. Hogs will not do well with
out plenty Of water.

 Fortunately, the wind kept the clouds of smoke and gas from enveloping the American and British warships, or the working party. The coolness and cour- age of the American sailors were most noteworthy.

B0ER PEACE CONFERENCE
OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF 4
 SETTLEMENT.
Transvaalors Favor Ending tho War but Orange Free stato Representative With a Few Influential Exceptions Declare They Will Not Ronounco In- Wet Strong Advocate fnw psurs
for Peace.


 Pretoria, May 20.--While it is hard to sift out the truth from the mass of contradictory reports that are floating in here from Vereeniging, Transvaal, where the Boer delegates are in con- ference, the best information obtainable leads to the belief that there are a number of obstacles in the way of a peaceful settlement. In summing up the situation at Vereeniging 1t is safe to say majority of the Transvaalers, including, the Transvaal government, is in favor of peace, while the represen- tatives of the Orange Free States with few influential exceptions declare they will not renounce indepedence Strangely enough, General De Wet, who was most irreconcila ble at the last conference, is now quite strong ad- vocate de eaca
 Lord Kitchener certalrsly will not ex- ceed the concessions already offered the delegates, so there remains only the question of the reduction of the de- mands of the Orange Free State repre- sentatives or the possibility of split between the Boer factions. This lat ter, while it would delay an immediate settlement of the matters before the conference, would certainly hasten the final solution of the situation in the field
 London, May 20.--Business on the stock exchange was very buoyant this afternoon owing to reports of a private telegram announcing that the Boer at Vereenigingshad voted in favor of peace on the best terms pro- curable by delegation to be sent to Pretoria to confer with Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner, the British high com missioner.

Ball. four, the government leader in the House of Commons, and Lord Roberts, the commander-in-ch -chief, dining with King Edward aL Windsor Castle, last night, has been magnified into an i'm portant conference on the subject of the proceedings in South Africa.

 In the meantime the Indefatigable had arrived off St. Pierre, but left the shore, heading for the sea, blowing her siren.
