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

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

Distillery slops ovon may bo very wholesome
food when kept frosh and sweet and prop

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. Hut

which retards chango in thc silo promoto it

? Thc Oat -Crop! '
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

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

Eastern Interest in Southern
Mills.
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

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. Thc buildings now in process of
erection aro on an ample scale, thc principal
one being a model cotton mill. Tho South
cannot fui 1 to profit largely by aa enterprise
which will show so much moro satiefuolorily
and conclusively than mero statement what
she is really capable of aud actually doing.
