Ing to the conclusion at last that II
should not be ignored, says the Ma
tional Stockman. Cheaper grains have
been made by using sllage as rough
age, while gains have been made more
rapid. especially where the cattle
we're fed only 80 days. The plan
adopted in handling silage is to let the
ear Of the corn reach as advanced
stage OF maturity as possible without
firing the fodder. Many stock feeders
in the upper edge Of the corn belt,
where dent corn often fails 10 come to
maturity because OF early frosts, are
using this silage method with the best

its use ia equal TO pasturing them.
Meanwhile the demand for breeding

W ASHINGTON.-One decided step
" toward making the national capi-
tai the most beautiful city In the
world INTELLECTUALLY was taken re-
Gently when the designs for three
great buildings for the federal govern
ment were selected. F%ifty-nine archi-
tects from all owe the country COM
peted. The buildings will cost nearly
$4,000, 600, and are to be erected on
Pennsylvania avenue, facing the White
House grounds. They will house the
department Of state. the department
Of justice and the department of COM
merce and labor.
The spaces that these great struc-
lures will occupy were selected nearly
a century and a quarter ago. Major
L'Enfant, a French engineer, laid out
the plan Of Washington in 1898. 1t Is
said he so arranged the streets that 1t
would be impossible, in case Of riot
or Instruction, for b~arricades to be

Make Plans to Beautify the Capital

built. az they were in Paris In th9
days of the Terror. On his plan he
designated various places where the
great public buildings of the future
should be put. For nearly half . hum
dred years Major L'Enfant was re-
garded as an impractical dreamer. Al
though his street plan was adhered to.
1t was only after the civil war that
people began to realize in . small
way that his vision of the frturo
greatness Of the nations capital was
likely to come true some day. But
even up to ten years Or SO ago his
plans slumbered in the archives Of
the government. Then they were TAX
en- out and studied in the light of mod
ern development, and 1t was found
they could not be improved upon, ana
that II they were carried out In every
detail Washington would surpass ev-
cry other city in the world in beauty.
The completion Of these ancient
plans Of this French engineer is still
far away, for 1t will take many years
and much money to accomplish them
in all their details. But the three mas.
sive buildings whose location was des-
ignated so long ago will be the most
important step toward their fulfill
ment that has been taken since the
capitol was erected.

Style Of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection Is to be made.
Four things have been taken into
consideration in trying to adopt a do
sign for a new street letter box. Tho
first is that of economy of time for
the collector. Instead OF having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls. the
department wants a box that will
open and discharge its contents into
a sack with a single operation.
In searching for this the question OF
the artistic appearance of the box has
by no means been overlooked. II o
new box is to be adopted. the postal
authorities are determined that It
shall combine as much grace and
beauty in it's appearance as 1t is pos
sible to give such a utilitarian object
An indestructible time card and In
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
The first becomes unnecessary If the
automatic indicator works satisfac-
tory, but the experiments thus far
made by the %postofice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put In
to use on the street letter boxes.

British cruelty are yet visible both IN Nor"lk

burnt houses standing in them yet. The principal
export from Norwalk is horses and cattle, sailed
beef and pork, lumber and Indian corn to the
West Indies. and in a small degree. flour and
wheat"
Saturday, 17th-At sunrise we left Fairfield
and breakfasted at Stratford, which is ten miles
beyond. There are two decent-looking
churches in this place." says the diarist-
There Is a busy mandatory Of duck and have
lately turned out 400 bolts" He speaks of 'stoney
ground" and continues with remarks on wayside
churches.
Once in a while Washington records the beau
ties of nature. Here is one of his longest notes:
But one of the %prettiest things Of this kind is
at Stamford, occasioned by danming the water
for their mills: it is nearly 100 yards in width,
and the water now being of the proper height,
and the rays of the sun striking on it as we
passed, had a pretty effect upon the foaming wa
ter as it fell" ..
Here is the entry on New Haven: The city
of New-haven," which Washington writes with a
hyphen and a small n, occupies a good deal of
ground, but is thinly though regularly laid out
and built. The number of souls in it is said to
be about 1000. There is an Episcopal church and
three Congregational meeting houses, and a col
lege, in which there are at this time about 1870
students, under the auspices of Doctor Styles.

r HE bureau of animal industry OF
i the agricultural department ex-
presses the hope that many state leg
islatures will take up the question of
providing for the production of the
government hog cholera serum. The
federal experts are convinced Of the
efficacy of this serum. They believe
that If the proper effort is put forth
by states hog cholera will be eradi-
caetd.
State officials who display interest
in the subject arc asked to send rep
~resentatives to tho bureaus expert
ment farm. at Ames, Ia, where the
methods of producing the serum are
explained. 1t is also the policy of the
bureau to furnish a limited amount of
the serum and a few immune hogs to
the states that are just starting In the
work. Within the last year practical
demonstrations of what may be C
complished through the use Of this
new serum have been successfully
carried out in Maryland, Virginia, ILL
nois, Missouri. Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky and Tennessee.
Most Of these demonstrations con-
sisted Of treating a part OF the dis
untreated. At Kansas City, however,
a more thorough test was made, the
results of which were very interesting
and demonstrated conclusively the
efficiency Of the serum as a preventive
for hog cholera.
The test was made in the stock
