Silos aa3 Endlae. Sdiior Hsme and Farm : Your writer, although klrm, lo nut pay uifioieut attention to tltu grniiilut uuriuiiitv uf the ngiiculturul punsihili- f of the greats Sou ill. You have the aeii aud cHumtc in fuir perfection lo raise iuaause orops of your won t hern white 901 a. If, lu additiou to ti.M, you would build cheap wooden silo, otu of narrow Ward one inch thiok, ? none of them over four iochee wide, aay from two and a half to four incite, planed aud matched ceiling, having the pits of fair site, ac erduig to the numher of cattle you de id re to keep. I have four such pHs in my farm -barn here, Ofteen feet square dusideiaeaaure, and ns deep ah I could build them inaide of my tarn, and have them reach the roof-plate. This size pit does best to have thirty or forty head of cattle cat from it both night .and torniog--it is altogether too large for ten head and much of the ensilage would spoil after the pit was opened, and we began to feed if I did not have fully thirty head of cattle to cat it up. Every feed night and morning it should be rak ed off the top of the pit and keep the en silage level in the pit all the time and aot stir it up at all until you are ready for the feed. It is always warm then and is eaten Very greedily hy cattle, and in fact, horses, mules, sheep and hogs Will dive rr it ana leave most any omer kind of feed but grain. This corn that if jrrowo for ensilage should be planted in rows and he stalks far enough apart so that each stalk will have one or more ears of corn on them, and the ground needs good, deep ploughing and jthorough tillage. The better you do the work the richer you will get. rheti the corn gets matured enough to pass the milk stajjo, and before the kernels get glazed bard, or the cornstalks begin to dry up or wither, the fodder is then in its best and sweetest condition. It should then be cut perfectly green and run through some kind W a power fodder cutter and packed right into the silo, The silo pit or pits are all filled each year. I now have six of them. The ensilage, when cut, will have fully three 4o four quarts of gram m eacn buanel basket of ensilage, aud is a sufficient grain ration for almost any auimal. A good, fair-sized cow or ox will oat from one and one-half to two baskets of cusi- lage twice a day. One aero of good ground hero in Ohio will grow as much feed as ono animal can eat in a whole Jrear, and it does not cost us twenty dol ars per acre to do the entire work. When your southern farmers supply themselves with silos and ensilage, and will feed their farm stock liberally iu July or August, as soon as the dry, hot weather strikes them, then feed and never let the stock shrink iu flesh a par ticle, they can beat the world iu raising cattle or any kind of farm stock cheaply. -They inuxt feed every day iu the year wheu needed, and the dairy business for - both cheese and butter can bo better done than in the North. I have made just as good butter for three years on my Tennessee farm as I ever made here in Ohio. (That was in McMinnville, War ren county, Tennessee.) I do not know but that it is possible for the South to beat the world in stock-raising if they will only do thorough work and feed when needed. It has been the common practice in - Tennessee to let stock run at large and in fair order. when the grass is green and good, but never get them up when the summer pasture is gone and feed to keep the growth and flesh, so they shrink up and die of starvation. It is this great Stglect that ruins the stock industry in the South, so far as my observation goes. The illos and ensilage can reform this great mistake. I advise the using of only one thick ness ef such ceiling, because as wet or damn ensilage is put into the pit it swells up the ceiling both air and water tight, and remains so until emptied, when the lumber then dries out evenly and quick ly and never rots. If two thicknesses re used, with paper between them, or without paper, it then holds moisture longer and the board will not rot in spite of all your wishes in the matter; besides it does no earthly good; for when the pit is air and water tight, that is all that is needed, and a dozen thicknesses more would do no earthly good, while it would waste much money. I have used my pits for years, so I do know that what I advise in the matter is perfectly correct. None of you need to hesitate. By using ensilage the corn needs no busking, . neither do you have to waste time in -taking it to the mill; the grain keeps soft and good all the time, because it is tu me warm, moist ensilage, una every particle of it makes good, digestible feed. I am now feeding it to dairy cows with grand results. They give almost as-much inilk in winter as they do in the best of summer pasture. j Henry Talcott. Jeffocrson, Ohio. . Pure Water for Horses. If the importance connected with fur nishing pure water for horses wn fully understood, we huye no doubt but thnt many farmers would provide better means for watering their horses than they now have. Many diseases which horses are subject to are the result of drinking uiimre water. The owner of a lance stable iu New York city began some time since to Alter the water for his horses, and states that since doing bo the cases of colic have decreased 75 per cent. Pure spring waters do not need to be alt ered of course, but where horses are wa tered from ponds, or pools, or streams which are liable to become stagnant or anywise polluted, some provision should be made to purify-1 ho water before the animals are allowed to drink it. A cheap filter could be made that need cost but little except what labor is put upon it. Take a good sized barrel aud fill-it with charcoal, coarsly ground, placing brnsh and gravel in it to keep the char coal in position. II the water is allowed to run throuuh a barrel filter in this manner it will be evcu purer than the best spring water. It is receotmneuded that sulphur be put into the charcoal. This is said to give the water a medici nal quality vvhieh is very valuable iu keeping horses iu good condition . Odds. A baby born at Tpadra, Los Angeles county.

A well-known English photographer will vouch for the following facts: Ko was called in one day to wko a photo graph of a young girl of about twen ty, who had died a few days before, lno corpse was laid out upon a bed with tho hands clasped ovor the breast. Deatu had como very gently to her, and, ex cept for the stillness, sho lay there as if in sleep, borne flowers had boon strewn over tho body, and on tho floor by the side of tho bed and standing out in black rcliof ayaiast it was tho coflla. Tho photographer silently adjusted his len3 and took tho photograph. During tho ten minutes needod for tho exposure the photographer paced up and down in tho ong corridor outsido tho room whore the dead girl lay. When ho returned he saw that oh tho lid of tho coffin was a flower, which was not so before. How did that flower como there? No ono had en tered tho room, tho windows wore closod and there was not a breath of air stirring. Why was tho flowor now lying on the co3in, whon a fow minutes boforo it was on tho bed botwocn tho hands of tho corpse? Tho photographer listened, but ho could hear no sound except tho beating of his own heart. In a fow moments, however, ho doterminod to dismiss the question from his mind, and busied himself with packing up his instruments. Then he paused possibly tho falling flower had left a trace on tho negative, or, as the day was gloomy, tho photograph might not bo quite successful, lie would try again. A second photograph was taken and tho artist returned homo. That night, sit ting up lato in his studio, ho dovoloped the two nogativos. Tho position of tho corpso was not tho saaio xn tho two nogativos. lho photographor strained his oyes, half disbolloving tho ovidonco of his own senses, but thero wore tho two nogativos boforo him, tolling him in their silent, unmistokablo truthful ness that between tho taking of the two photographs tho arm of tho dead girl had distinctly moved. Tho mystery of tho flowor on tho ooffln was solved, but it was suocoodod by a mys tory more torriblo still. VICTOR HUGO'S FAITH. How to Test Seed. It is au easy matter to test the vitality of grass aud clover seeds, by placing a given number, say one hundred, of the variety to be tested between woolen cloths, moistened with water. Care should be taken to boil the cloths before using, to scald the plute or pan in which the ciotns are lain, ana to use only re cently boiled water with which to moist en the cloths, in order to retard the growth of fungi, or molding. To or more cloths may first be laid upon the plate or pan, the seeds distributed on the up per one, and another cloth laid upon the seeds, buthcient water should be ap plied to keep the cloths moist. A plate oi glass laid over the plates or pans would add to the efficiency of the device by retarding evaporation, and protecting the interior by floating germs of fungi At a temneratur of 70 to 80 decrees Fahrenheit good seed should germinate in from a week to ten days. Seeds wil germinate after being under such in flu ences several weeks, but seed that do not respond in from seven to ten days under such favorable influences can be of little value when subjected to the vicissitudes of an ordinary seed-bed.

GuindorU, has been fleeced on a larje scle by a veri table company of Paris swindlers, says a correspondent. It was all through a puppy-dog1, and happened thuswise. Mme. Guindorff lived in tho Hue do Rennes, and had a canine favorite called Lolo. Ono day the pet escaped into the street and wandered at largo, being eventually captured by a person named Roger, who saw tho address of tho dog's mistress on its brai3 collar. Roger is a chevalier d'industrio of the first water. Ho is also a good-looking fellow, and when he brought homo her dog to tho aged but amorous widow she fell in lovo with him at first sight and told him to call again. This Roger did, and soon found out that the Widow Guindorff possessed a fortune of 1,000, 000 francs, or 40,000, invested in vari ous soourities, besido some valuablo houso property. Roger began by pilfering plate, jewelry and small articles from his elderly dame, and theso he deposited with divers and sundry avuncular relatives estab lished in official monts-da-pieta through out tho city. By and by Roger related his good luck to his po' house compan ions, who also rosolvod to make the widow's acquaintance, tho rascals event ually forming themselves, under Rog er's lead, into a firm for tho purpose of "exploiting"' hor. Thoy first inveigled hrr into tho bourse speculations, one of them opening a 'b.-g;:s" office for this purpose.
