a a Picnic.

There is something particularly enjoy.
able about going to a picnic. The very word
Picnic brings pleasant an~ticipations of a
good time. The idea of going out to the
woods and fields or down by som brook
or lake, with luncheon to be served on the
grass and under the trees, has a peculiar
fascination. The fresh air and exercise CON
tribute to give a hearty appetite to all and
everything at luncheon seems far better
than the finest cours dinner that a French
chef ever served. Wooden dishes supplant
Dresden china, and paper boxes silver
trays, when the good things to eat' are
spread upon the ground.
Plc-Nics are never complete without the
sandwiches, sweet white bread with a gen.
erous layer of meat between. Libby's
canned meats are ideal for pic-nics and
outings. The cans are so easily opened,
and the contents so fresh and palatable,
that no picnic is a success without Libby's
Natural Flavor" Food Products.

ENSILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS.
One Cubic Foot of Silo Space Should
Be Provided for Each An
imal Per Day.

There is no longer any question
about the value of the silo and silage
for dairy COWS. The testimony in be-
half of this is unanimous, and very
conclusive where silage is fed to the
cows. Here are some practical refer
ences to the construction Of the silo
and quantity of the silage, by Prof.
Thomas f. Hunt, of the Ohio State
University and Agricultural College:
Zone cubic foot of silo space should
be provided for each COW per day. To
obtain the size of silo required multi,
ply the number Of cows to be fed by
the number of days it is desired to feed
ensilage and the result will be the GU
bic contents of the silo required. Silos
should never be less than 20 feet deep,
and 80 feet is very much better. The
ensilage should always be fed off the
top, keeping not more than eight
square feet of surface for each COW fed
and five square feet is better. 1t is
sometimes more economical to get this
relationship by increasing the size Of
the herd than by reducing the size OF
the silo. The amount Of weight by en-.
silage that a silo will hold depends
upon several factors, as the size and
shape of silo and the ripeness of the
orn used, but in general the number
of pounds of ensilage a silo will hold
can be determined by multiplying the
cubic contents of the silo by 80. A
ton of ensilage will thus fill &C cubic
feet. The number of tons Of ensilage
which can be grown per acre is a mat
ter upon which there is much differ
ence of opinion. My experience leads
me to believe that IL tons of ensilage
per acre is a fair average yield of
properly ripened ensilage."

company which may be of far-reaching
importance has been formed in this
city for the purpose of constructing
a tunnel under the Delaware River,
between Philadelphia and Camden.
1t is proposed to operate steam
railway through the tunnel. Such is
the assertion of Clarence Wolf, of
Wolf Brothers & Co., president of
the Intercity Link Railroad, new
corporation.
A charter has already been secured
in New Jersey. The company was
incorporated in Camden this after
noon Mr.. Wolf says that the surveys
have been filed and the road marked
in that state. Application was also
made today at Harrisburg for char
ter in this state. This action seems
necessary because the proposed rail
road in crossing under the river would
cross the boundary line of each state.
The Camden incorporation permits
the construction of the tunnel be-
tween that city and the middle of the
Delaware River For the Pennsyl-
vania side a permit will have to be
obtained from councils here, the city
holding riparian rights along the river
front
Many brokers, together with street
railway men, wondered how the new
corporation proposed to fight the

that a fight" is matter of course
under the circumstances. A few men
are inclined to hazard guess that the
Pennsylvania, either is on the inside
or expected to "buy out" the new
company in the future.
