need it. The photo shows that ours are move from one to the other while fill ing. This is not only a saving of time, but allows one to get much more for age into a given space, as it has time to settle. I believe that every one is agreed that ensilage corn must have cultivation and light and not be plant ed too thick. But I believe that 1t is not settled that grain in the silo Is of as much value as the same grain dried and fed as grain. My experience leads me to believe that by chemical action or by some unknown cause to me, at least, the corn put into the silo with the stalks Is not of as much value as the same would be if dried, ground and fed as grain. This subject our experi- ment stations should investigate more fully
 We are so well convinced of this that this spring we shall plant and raise as good a crop of field corn as we can. striving especially to raise a large quantity Of grain, remove the ears and cut the stalks into the silos. If 1t proves a failure. we will let the read CTS of this paper know why. But we don't intend that 1t shall prove wrong. On the contrary, we believe it decid- ed step in advance, the serious ques- ton being how to get the stalks into good ensilage if put in as dry as they must be if left long enough to mature the grain. Our idea is to have plenty of ensilage for winter feed, enough for summer and some left over. We will do away entirely with green forage crops, as they cost too much labor and do not produce enough per acre.

The Steady Milker.

From testing the best milking cows are found out, and 1t is wonderful how animals are discovered to be good milk CTS when a whole twelvemonth Is taken, which yet have never yielded very large quantity at one time, while, on the other hand, animals which have yielded an enormous quantity over a short time and have had great notice taken of them are really poor milkers when their total yield for twelve months is summed up. The COW that yields a moderate quantity over nine, ten or eleven months is the sort to have and breed from, and it is only by rec ord that this is found out. In addition to this, the quality of the milk must be taken into account, and it Is desirable to test tbs from time to time also.

H. Mitchell of Cayuga county, N. r., in American Agriculturist We have tried on Oakland farm the vari- ous forage crops recommended and have come to the conclusion that they are all too expensive on account of the necessary labor. We except rape for pigs and sheep and ensilage, which we have for some years past used practi- cally the year around. Bnsilage is just as valuable in the heat and drought of summer as in the winters cold. If when you cut your new crop in the fall any is left in the silo, cut right on to the old.
