Blessed toil that gilds our days, Coyoring up tho thorny ways ; Never let us miss thy crown, Till, iu death we lay it down. Edward Atkinson on En3i Iago. Mr. Atkinson says to tho Boston Herald: "Since you printed my addrosd ooforc tho Society of Arts of tho Institute of Technolo gy, in which t roferrcd to ensilage aa ono of tho forces that might groatly affect tho fu Uno distribution of population, especially in Now England, I have had several inqui ries by letter, tho purport of which lins seemed to bo to (Ind out how muoh I do not know about fanning. Sinco that address my conviction has boen strengthened uo to tho vast importance of this now method, or, per haps, wo might say, this rediscovered method of saving green fodder. 1 have seen some cvidoooo and witnessed facts that appoar to moro than confirm tho most extravagant ?talements yet mado in any of tho printed books. I used tho expression that "ensilage means four cows to ono noro, instoad of ono cow to foor acres." 1 dovotod last Sunday morning to a visit to a Now Jorsoy farm willi tho owner, Mr. C. W? Mills, an activo busi ness man in Now York city, who could show this modern miraclo only on that day.' Tho farm is at Potnpton, New Jorsoy; and con sists of light Boil, very mach worn by long continued cultivation-300 acres in all. I there saw 120 bead ot cattle, mostly cows, nnd twolvo horses, which had been carried through tho winter without a parti?lo-of hay. no hay being made on tho farm. Their food had consisted for over seven mouths of four quarts of a poor quality of middlings, tho rost of ensilaged corn foddor, gathered from 135 acres of lund. They wero being fed on n portion of tho last two feet of the last section in tho second hilo. It was sweet, frosh and apparently sound ns when ?rst put in. No fermentation appeared to hnvo taken placo in this silo. Mr. C. W. Mills, tho originator of thia special method, docs not accept tho the ory which assumes that there ii a generation ol' carbolic acid gas in tho material. Ile disproves this theory by tho allegation that his silos are 20 feet deep, 40 feet long and 13 feot wide, two in number. Ho feeds from sections ol 4x13 feet, in all ten sections, each ono removed vertically. Occasionally tho chickens (ly down to tho bottom of a section, where, if enrhonic gas wcro generated, they would die, but they sooni to enjoy themselves in tho abundant food that they there lind. You will obsorve that tho proportion in this oaso is substantially 10 hoad of stook to oaoh acre, for n period of between seven nod eight months, so far as the ensilage fodder is concerned. Mr. Mills expects to increase this proportion, and not to send hts onttlo to pasturo at all hereafter. Ho will ensilage winter rye in .June, thon plant corn to bo saved in Soptombor, thus making two crops por year, which will onablo him to oarry from eight to ton hoad of stook to an nero the year through. Ilia two silos aro in his barn, each twenty foot deep below tho surfaco of tho floor, they cost him $700. Tho cost of raising, harvesting and putting away tho ensilage last sonson, estimated at 450 tons, was between $500 and $000. His milk has tho preference in Now York ovor any ordinary milk, and by analysis proves to bo richer than a sam plo of tho best product of Oronge County. For n m re minute atato mont in rogard to this establishment refer enco may bo had to an article in tho ?rst number of tho 'Journal of tho American Ag ricultural Association,'' just published. My object in calling attention to Mr. Mills' sys tem nt tho present timo is this: Ho discov ered the method himself in I87C, not know ing that any experiments had boon mado elsewhere. His practice and his theory both differ from thoso of others. First, in respect io maize or othor annual plant, ho holds that tho plant itsolf is not ripe or flt to uso as food until it has approached its maturity, indient? cd by the flowering season. He holds that mai KO should not bc fed or ensilaged until the corn is in tho silk. Tho plant is then full of saeoharioo matter. Ho holds that tho common green foddor known ns "cow corn," ofton sown broadcast and out in too leaf to eke out insuffloiont pasturo, is unwholesome: that it will produce discaso in tho animals nnd is injurious to tho children who drink thc milk. Tho juices of such unripe or imma ture plants will bo found to bo bitter, and are, in their efforts, similar to tho effect of unripe fruits. Ho proves this casu by refer? enco to tho examination of tho ohcosc facto ries in Herkimer County, where tho periods in which it has been found difficult or im possible to make good, sound cheese have been found to correspond substantially with tho periods in which unripo corn fodder was fod in tho latter part of tho summer. Second, Mr. Mills thinks it vary desirable that the stalks shall bo ont' with very sharp tools, while they are perfectly fresh and unwilled, and that tho mass-shall not bo trodden into tho pit. Ho holds-that to break tho colls io which tho juicevaro contained any moro than is absolutely necessary in outtiog may bo oxtremoly injurious and likely to promote fermentation. Ho, therefore, fills his silos with the utmost speed, piling on the frosh material inside of a wooden oase of thc sumo eizo as tho pit itself to such- a height that, wben tho mass is souled of its own woiglit, the surfaco of tho ensilage will bo evon with . tho top of tho silo. This occurs very quickly under tba continuous and oven proseuro which ho places upon it. Ho manages tho pressure by having plank sections, each fbur by thirteen feot, which aro placed upon tho surface of tbs mass and each ono loaded with five tons. Ho says tho secret of succoss is immediate, continuous and even - pressure, tho uso of ripe plants, and tho avoidance of any crushing or breaking of tho colls that can bo avoided. Ho allows tho ensilage to stand twenty four hours boforo feeding, in which time it becomes a little acid and is moro readily digested. Ho is of opinion that n chango takes placo in the mass as it be> comes older, similar to that which occurs in wino in tho oask in its ohnngo from now to lipo wino, ns he Ands that tho fodder taken out from the bottom of tho pit at tho end of tho season-that is, tho oldest in tho pit ferments whon oxpoecd to tho air muoh less quickly (ban that which is taken out near ?lie top at tho.beginning of tho feeding sea son. I an) somewhat particular io giving thoso points in Mr. Milla' theory, fur tho reason that they di flor In some rospcot* from tho instructions given in any of tho books yot published. I begtoeubn.it this slalo ment ns n warrant for any visionary propbocy. that can bo made as lo tho offeot of this sys? tem upon tho futuro of tho country, but es pecially of Now England, if it provos to be what H.purports to-be. These facts that 1 have stated aro sustained by th? most com plete evideneo of credible witnesses. They warrant the expectation of raising hoof upon tho now deserted farms and hillsides of New England as. cheaply as lt eau be brought from the rich prairies or the Westf it promises the restoration of tho soil, less arduous labor, less dependence upon seasons and better condi tions of lifo for tho farmer than they have horetoforo obtained. It is probable that now points will bo dovoloped lu tho practico of ensilage that will bo of great importance. Ver ?nstnnoe, Mr. Mills expects to bring his fur m gradually into mowing lund, to raise largo crops of grass and to ensilngo tho grasses when they aro in the (lower-believ ing that ton tons of suoh food will bo equal to forty tons of oom stalks. Also, be thinks that bean and pea vines and other plants of that class which eontaiu nutritive clement in different proportions and of di fieront kinds may lend to euch mixing of vogotablo growth in tho ensilage pits as will dovolon tho bost Qualities of milk for butter and cheese mak ing, or for the production of hoof, with greater certainty than to use miscellaneous plants ensilaged without selection, or to feed corn ensilngo only. In fnot, lt seoras to tho uninstructed mind that this practico of on silngo may bo tho great foot of this genera ration, counteracting tho tendency developed by tho railroads to scatter population over very wido areas, greatly increasing the number of s mull landholders, who may ap ply a high dogrce of intelligence to produc tion on small parcels of land, supplementing tho work of tho artisan and mechanic, und in ovory way tending directly to conditions of society far hotter than either tho present con centration in oitios or tho wide diffusion over vast prairies. On tho other bund 1 nm in formed that nn association lins been formed in Now York for tho purpose of supplying wholesome milk, by whoso rules tho dairy men aro forbiddon to sell ibo milk of cows fed on distillery slops or ensilage. This shown tho need of a thorough, completo, sci entific investigation of tho whulo subject Distillery slops ovon may bo very wholesome food when kept frosh and sweet and prop orly fed, as they aro in sumo of tho great Western distilleries, whore tho bo*t bcof cat tlo aro fed upon them. Ensilagod fodder may become sour and injurious if tho system is not well understood, or may bo porfuotly sweot and nutritious, Uko that of Mr. Mills, when it is thoroughly comprehended. 1 should not assume to make this state ..ont on a matter of which 1 have no practical expe rience bad not my referenco to tho oubjcot apparently called tho attention of many per? sons to it who had not previously given it any thought. Tho Chemistry of Ensilage. Why is green, succulent matter preserve! from healing und rotting when stored in a silo? This question is often asked, but seldom is an intelligent answer given. It is claimed that this is effected by excluding thc air ou thc sumo principle that wo save fruit bj cauningit; but no person with even an elementary knowledge of tho science ol pneumatics will pretend to form n vacuum with wood, or brick and mortar, however woll it muy bc packed with clay. All writers on ensilage, from Augusto Goffart, who in vented the silo, down to tho last newspaper correspondent, speak of tho peculiar "vinous odor" of tho provender whoo taken from tho pit, and a writer in tho New Eng land Farmer, whilo commending tho silo, cautions pcoplo about going into a newly opened pit, from tho dangerous accumula, tiou of carbonic ?cid that is always present. Add to thoso thc fact that tho analysis of Prof. Gocsmann shows a loss of sturch and sugar in tho fodder thus prcservod, and we havo in all theil0 facts thc modo of preser vation clearly indicated. Shortly after hoing packed un incipient fermentation sets io, and thc sugar in tho green fodder is decomposed und equal equivalents of oar bonic ucid ure formed. Tho former, being a gas, slowly csoapes tc rough tho oovcring of thc silo, whilo tho alcohol combines with, or is dissolved in, thc water present. This gives tho characteristic "vinous odtr" spoken of. With this fermentation begins at onoc thc conversion of staroh into sugar; but a special property of alcohol is to retard or entirely arrest chemical ohunges in or ganic substances. Tho partial exclusion of thc air, tho low temperature and tho accu mulating quantity of alcohol finally arrest chemical action till tho forage is exposed to tho air and a higher temperature, when tho acetic fermentation begins thc alcohol is rapidly converted into vinegar uud tho whole is soon a mass of dcoay. Alcohol und a low temperature aro tho agents that preserve green vegetable matter in a silo. Tho sugar and staroh, which wcro converted into carbonic ucid and alcohol, wcro important food elements, and it is not probable that any one at till acquainted with animal physiology will contend that these resultant compounds can supply their place as food. It is claimed that dairy COWS fed on en silage give nn increased quantity of milk, and stalled animals fatten on it rapidly. Both of these olaims aro probably founded in fact. That dilute alcohol, na in beer, hus the property of increasing tho secretion of milk has been long known, but while tho quantity is increased tho quality is corres pondingly impaired. Il is but a few years since it was claimed that thc slops from a distillery possessed ns much fattening power os did tho corn beforo it was distilled; and tho claim was sustained by practical tests. Hut tho pork packers soon dissipated this illusion by discarding still-fed pork ns on unhealthy product. Fut, butter, nnd ohceso produced under tho influence of alcohol, whether fed in still slops or ensilage, oro nut normal products. They aro results of an effort to disposo of wnsto material that in normal or healthy condition should havo been consumed by respiration. It is also claimed that this alcoholic fermentation renders tho food moro digcntibln.

' A correspondent of tho. weekly Ne,ws proposes imus brief ?/.manner ns possible, to coll to tho I attention of your brooders jomo facts that may have escaped their attention, and which, to my mind prove most conclusively tho superior advantages both os a food and money orop,oats dior to tho agriculturist af South Carolina over corn, o orop thai exceeds by one fourth tho aoreago devoted to our great staple cotton, and re?oives probably not less than ono half of all thc attention bestowed upon Ike farm orops of tb? State, and which, strange to Bay, yields tho poorest return in monoy of all our principal crops. I shu!) quote from tho statistical report of the Agricul tural Department for 1870, und any ouo oan, by roforcoco thereto, satisfy himself of tho accuracy of my statements. Tho avorago yield of outs per eere for this Stato is put down ot fifteen bushels, that of corn at seven bushels or just two to ono, a greater disproportion in favor of oats than is found in any other State of the Union. Now I bclicvo it is a fact almoit universally admitted and practically do monstraticd as well as scientifically proved by anulysis that, pound for pound, oats is at least as valuublo as corn for stock food. Thus wo seo thero is an average loss of sixty pounds best grain food to each acre culti vated in corn, and while I havo no data by which to comparo tho rotative value of the som foddor und oats straw 1 feel safe in asserting that thc difference ia in favor of tho latter. Tho average minimum cost of planting 3ultivatiug nud harvesting tho corn crop is not less than six dollars per aorc, while tho ivcrago cash vuluo of tho corn produced per aero is only $5.02, entailing un overage loss cf not less than 38 couts for every aero planted* now tho ovcrago maximum cost of sowing and havesting an aero of oats is not more than tivo dollars, whilo tho overage cosh value per ooro of tho oats produced is given ot $10.20 leaving a net profit of ?5 20 per acre. Notwithstanding this striking dilToronco in favor of oats, wo aro told that thc entire number of acres devoted during thc year 1879 in this State was only 38,000, whilo that ol' corn was 1,293,000 or ouly one of oats to fifteen of corn. Now let us soo what WOB tho actual money loss to thc farmers of tho Stale by puisuiog this mistaken policy. Total norcogo in :orn 1,293,000x7J avcrugo yield -9,702, J00 bushels at 75 cents average price per bushels-$7,270,500? hud this lund been planted in oats wo would have tho following result: l,293,f)00 ocres xl5 bushels, jvcrago yield-19,101,OUO bushels at 08 Bents average price per bushel-813,191, 720, or on umouut cxo-'cding by 85,918, ?20 tho actual cash vuluo of tho corn, Juough to liquidate one -half of thc Slate debt, and in grain food an amount equal to 1,385 001 bushels corn, or enough to Imvo 2-ivcu every horse and mule in tho State jno peck each day for 48 days. For waut of limo and confidence in my ability to do justice to the subject, 1 shall not attempt a comparison of tho relative advantages of these two crops ns a supple mental crop to cotton, which 1 feel satisfied must continue to bc tho lending and almost exclusive money uud export crop of thc Soulh, not so much that it is necessary for In r to ra iso cotton, but that tho necessities ni the world require that it shall bo to ber advantage to luise it.

Mr. D. IJ Love, of Huntsville, Alabama, writes a letter to tho Textile Record in sotno important facts going to show thc interest felt by Northern manufacturers in cutten spinning in tho South. It ap pears that thc figures recently given ip Boino of tho official reports of Southern mills havo created a fever of excitement nt the Iia&t. Mr. A. D. Lockwood, of Providence, Rhode Island, is quoted as saying that his smallest mill in that section consume thirteen thousand bales ol' ootton annually and that if his mill were located in tho South in thc neighborhood of the cotton fiolds, ho would bo obie to save 878,000 a year on tho cost of cotton alone, v ''ich amounts to moro than n yeai's profit of many mills. It is also stated that Thompson & Nnylc, of Providence, have published a volume in whioh they say that "no invest mont so safo and few so profitable can now ho found as ootton manufacturing in thc South." Among tho statistics in thc Bamc volume is n table showing thc annual divi dends of forty of tho tootling mills of New langland. Those dividends ndded tog thor und tho sum total divided by thc number of | mills, giving an average yearly dividend of only tbreo per cont., whilo tho ovcrago yearly dividend of tho samo number and class of mills, ns Mr. Love shows, is about seventeen per cent. Mr. Love refers to another fool which is of urcnt interest. Thc proprietors of a little mill in New York State, using only obout twelvo hundred boles of colton in a year, found that by moving South they could co-oporoto with Southern men, dooblc their capacity, save 87,200 in thc cost of twelvo hundred bales, nod, by buying from tho planters in tho seed, savo 85,400 more in tho value of seed, making $12,000 saved in thc cost of a year's supply of cot ton. In every mill visited in thc Mast by Mr. Love ho found applicants to oomo South. In every oity ho visited ho found a willingness on tho part of o certain class of capitalists to como South and co-oper ate willi Southern men in thc building of mills. All this goes to show that there is n healthy interest taken ot. thc North, especial ly in New Mngland, in ootton manufactories nt thc South. It may bc, ns Mr. Atkinson says, that tho finer class of cotton goods will nover bc manufactured in thin soelion, but, OB tho Constitution lias undertaken to show upon moro than ono occasion, tho reasons ho gives in support of his assertion oro absolutely inadequate-.Atlanta Con stitution.

Speaking of tho coming cotton exposition at Atluuta, the Detroit Free Frcss soys, editorially : There is intorestiog evidence of tho advancement which tho South is making in tho determination to hold an "International Cotton Exposition" at Atlan ta, Georgia, beginning on tho filth of Octo ber and remaining open until tho cud of December. Although tho exposition,being thc first world's fuir ever held in tho South, naturally derives its title from the staple which terms thc nucleus of tho widest runge of Southern io^ustry, tho prospectus shows that it is not by any means to be limited to cotton or to thc industries, connected there with. Tho 6chedulo of articles, whereof exhibition is invited, covers a wide range, classified in six departments, forty ono groups and two hundred and twenty ono classes.
