An important advantage resulting i from the use of ensilage all the year is that matfbre made from it is available for use not scattered at random over the farm. Nearly 20O.UU0 sheep have been guaranteed to the Canterburry Frozen Meat Company, of New Zealand, for shipment to London during the seasan Of 1889-90. A silo for fifteen cows can be made at an expense of $150 In a general way it may be said a silo (wooden) will costal for each ton it is intended to hold. Make it air tight.

Frwin the HoueKeeier. Did yoi ever see a man in the soli tude and privacy of his study attempt to sew a button on by himself? It is, in all its details, one of the most in- tercsttng performances in the world. First, he hunts for a button. Gen- ; crally, to secure it he robs Peter to ! PV Pau1' a"d ,ULtS 0ne fr0IU SOme 1 other garment. This may be much ; lar?cr or much smal,pr t?,an tbe size i he is wearing. Next, he hunt for a needle. Probably he goes out and : Du'8 a paper of needles. He always cboOSf t!le largest having an impres- 910U 1 large needles will sew stron- ger thau small needles. As to the thread, he gets the eoars- ! j est he can find, and this he doubles. .would thread his needle. Fie ! ,taKe8 tbe "ee?le n onLe .lia"d aud , ' his coarse black thread in theothei; he bites off t,,e thread t0 the desired j length: then he tries to twist it to a j tine point. Generally in this he suc- i ccec'!i making two and sometimes nne po.nts tnrougn tne need.e s . eve at once. He tries hard to make 1 the needle and thread eet on . . friendly terms with each other. Sometimes it is the needle that kicks, sometimes the thread. Sometimes he really imagines he had threaded Sis needle. It is an ocular delusion; the : thread has missed the needle's eye by half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood. j At last, the needle is threaded. Now he tries to sew the button on without taking his trousers off". This proves a failure. He twists himself into an uncomfortable position, and so would sew. But he cannot sew so. He runs the needle into his finger, makes an inaudible exclamation. Again the needle slips into the flesh- part of thft haiii, which inrlnpfs ; vrv nmli. be (ja,b from the operator Xhe rc ,.ri,.,i:.nili ,i,.lf : ; insi,ie of heimf and ' debits ' him with everv item. lie sews hard. ii i, f,irntt0 0u ,' ,i, ,. .

Rring your Job Mi:pk r.KNiirRo Timf.s. Work to Tiis Is it Practicable, if Xot Why ot .' We call special attention to the sug gestion of "Diamond" in auothcr column as to the utilization of cotton butts as a substitute for jute butts in the manufacture of bagging. The Progressive Farmer is most favorably impressed with the suggestion and is inclined to the opinion that esteemed correspondent, who is a successful and intelligent farmer, has "cut the Gor dian knot." Why not? The fibre or inner bark is strong and soft .some process for separating it from spinning and weaving it. We have never seen a prettier pulp paper than a specimen made of the wood of the cotton stalk If the bark and the wood can both be utilized, an impor- ; tant additional value is given to this wonderful plant. What is now re- garded as worthless would at mice begin to save farmers live to seven , millions dollars a year in ihe single article of bagging. " Again, the stalk cutter as suggested by our correspondent, eould be fol- lowed with a turn-plow, two furrows to the row, and completely bury the : lab!; ntoJr a"d ,t,l,0r "TV table matter; thus getting it out of the way and putting it. in the best condition for decomposition and for plant-food for the next year's erop. j Then the way would be clear for the ga-.uer.ng oi tno onus or stubs A 111 Odhinn t.M It n r.11 H n r.n I J J . 1 machine for this purpose could readily aauy i be devised bv lvi,ieh u I taken up, cleared of dirt and deposit- ed in heaps at certain intervals for the carts or wagons; or better still, an ' attachment could be arranged for a cart by which the stubs could be pulled up and deposited on the cart as it moves. But these are mutters of : detail and of minor importance. The i question is : Is the suggestion of our 1 correspondent to make our bagging from the fibre of the cotton plant practicable and profitable": Why would not the machinery now used for spinning and weaving jute, do the same work with the cotton plant fibre? Wc want the views of our leading and observant cotton i plauters on this subject. North Caro lina farmers led the fight against the bagging conspirators last season; now let them lead in inaugurating a plan for making our bagging at home for all time to come. (live us your views.

Poultry reared with free range of orchard and meadow are the largest and also finest in plumage and symme try. They have a prouder carriage and a look of thrift and health not often seen in chicks reared within the limits of town lot". If the breeder must' of necessity, limit the range, he must provide artificially the advantages which the eounry naturally supplies. Insects be must replace with chopped meat, and lacking grass range, he must cut grass and clover daily. Shade must be provided during the summer, otherwise failure is sure Poultry raising and fruit culture go hand in hand, and may be combined on the same ground An orchard is much benefitted by allowing fowls free range, as the crop of harmful insects is kept down In the heat of summer the young chicks will grow and thrive in the shady orchard and pick up much of their living in it. If the breeder lacks these advantages and is compelled to raise his fowls in confinement he may by extra care raise fair birds but even with the best attention they will never eiiial in beauty in plumage and vigor con stitution anI size the country reared chicks that have developed their muscle in many a foraging exi bition .
