Im portant to Fai-mora. JrxE 8, 1803. This institution was organized by legislative enactment- in 1877, and has for sixteen years been laboring for the best interests of the agriculture ol North Carolina. JThe station has issned- during1 these years a million and more copies of bul letins, all bearing1 upon improvement of the state's agriculture. Ry dissemi nating this information, and through the Fertilizer Control, the station has saved millions of dollars to the farm ers of North Carolina. The fund for the support of th station is derived from the general gov ernment, and no appropriation is re ceived -by it from the state. 1 The 1 station desires and "needs the active co-operation of all people of the state, forwithout this co-operation it can do but little effectual and perma nent work. In order to extend its usesulnesfi. the station will present to the readers ol this, paper, once each month, three columns of matter of peculiar interest to farmers. ' The general subjects embraced in this agricultural matter will be 1. Announcements. 2. Descriptive notes of Station bulle tins. 3. Summaries of results of investiga tions at the Station. 4. Letters of inquiry and replies to same 5. Special agricultural articles of gen eral interest. Letters of inquiry from any person upon any agricultural subject will be encouraged. Replies to same will tx made at .once by the member of th. Station staff most competent to do so in whose special field the question lies. All questions must invariably be ad dressed to 4 The N. C. Agricultural kxporiment Station, Raleigh, N. t. Questions and replies of general interest-will be also printed in tliese col umns for the beneht of ail readers. Tha bulletins of the Experiment Station are supplied free to those resi dents of the Mate who request them. subjects of immediate interest and value, and are written in plain lan. guaga for popular reading. Techni cal bulletins are issued also, and con- tain result of scientific and technical investigations.

Chemical Division. Agricultural Division. Botanical Division. Entomological Division. Horticultural Division. Meteorological 1 livisi.on. Division of Publication. Visitors are cordially welcomed at any time, and the work carefully ex plained to them. The headquarters of the Station are In the Agricultural Building, immediately north of the CaDitol buildmp in Kal trh. In the - . north winrr are located the offices, tho chemical laboratories and store-rooms. On the basement lioor is the document room, where are kept the publications of the Station, and Where the mailing of these publications takes place. On the third tloor is situated the mycolog--ical laboratory, botanical and, entomo logical work-rooms : also the meteo rological division of the Station, or-g-anized as the State Weather Service, co-aperatin; with the United States Weather liureau. On the roof of the building are located the various instru ments for recording meteorological ob-fc-rvations, tog-ether with a thirty-five foot flag-stalf for displaying flags for disseminatinp; the weather-forecasts. The Experiment Farm is located about one mile and- a half west of the city, and adjoins the grounds of the State Agricultural Society. It is in close proximity to the irrounds of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts', and the students have access to the experiments, and study their progress and their results. On the farm are loeated' the experi mental dairy, silos and barn, in which are the cattle under test for produc tion of beef, milk and other purposes. Field-crop tests are also conducted, as far as is possible, upon the land of tho farm. Here, also, is the field and plant house worlf. of the horticultural divi sion. The Experiment Farm is con nected by telephone with the city orli ces. The Hillsboro street line of elec tric cars of -the city stops in easy walk ins? distance of the farm. Silage Corn a ad Sll o.

Cut it up and put in the silo when the kernels ara well glazed, that is, while the stalks and most of the leaves are still green, and the kernels are beginning to har den. You can count 40 to 50 pounds per day for a mature animal, cow or mule, which would be 0,000 pounds per animal from Nov. 1st to May 1st. Four animals would eat 36.0(g) pounds. There will necessarily be tibme waste, and you-may want to feed .another cow, so we will raise this" amount to 25 tons. At 25 pounds per cubic foot, this will require -',000 cubic feet. Ten feet snuare and 20 feet hisrh will be a good form. Terhaps you can get out the timber needed for the walls and roof, and need to buv only tho boards, : sheathing, nails, doors and hinges, and a window for the gable" opposite the door. ' If you have a sidehill convenient to your stable, you can put your silo in U it so as to fill from above to co-xl I advantage. Make a firm base with a -good foundation. I would use soma cement to make a tight bottom (in a dry place well rammed clay will do as well) and lay the sills, which may bo of 2in. x loin, plank doubled and spiked together in fresh cement. A bill of lumber sufficient to build such a silo would be as follows : Sills. 8 pieces, l'Jft. x 2in. x lOio, Sstuds, 24 20- " 2" " 4 " 20" " 4'' " 8 " Tlatcs. 4 " 12- " 1" " 0 " Kafters.U" ltr " 2-' " 4 " .180 sq. ft. 6W - " 14 24 " Common boards 12ft. long Inside eovcf . 1 Matched pine.

In toe Old Dominion. Charlotte News. Virginia Democrats iiiombers of Congress and such like view with equatiimit y the statement that. Hie ri'-publiciins of their State will unite with the Populists in an endeavor' to elect :i governor. It will not work. they say. Virginia U regarded hy them as safely Democratic as any State in the Union. While the nu merical difference between tli,e Demo crats and Republicans is not so deep as a church door, there are not enough Populists to cover the margin.

Mr. Cleveland carried the Stale about .50,000 plurality last fall and ibey are not -tfraid of any such overwhelming change of popu lar sentiment as Mr. Page's success would indicate, more particularly its the Democrats ot Virginia are pretty certain to nominate a thoroughly good man, whether his name be 0 Ferrall or Tyler. There is no fear that the Deniocr-tts will not be per fectly united, as it will be one ofthe most important elections held in Vir ginia in many years. Not only are a governor and a -lieutenant governor and an attorney central to be elected, ml C lr.it a legislature is to be chosen which will elect five judges of the court of appeals, which is the supreme court of the State (they hold for twelve years), eighteen circuit judges, und two State Senators, one to till the unexpired term of the late Senator li irbour and the other to serve the full term beginning March 4, 1895. In addition to these higher officers the legislature will el-tt what are known as the "basement officers the secretary, the treasurer, two auditor.-, the railroad commission ers, the commissioner of agriculture, the superintendent of public instruc tion, o;c.
