Under the Supervision of the Executive Coinmltteo of Pomona Grange. Ensilage of Maize. This is a new method, of no small im? portance, of preserving green, foddex^audj adds an additional word to the catalogue of agricultural terms. We find some ex? planatory remarks on tbe system pub? lished in the Farmer and Flanier, Rich? mond, Va. M. Auguste Giffert, a dis? tinguished agriculturist ofFrance^made the- discover^,'and^'f^^TOnjSfeook explaining the merits of his discovery, which, has been translated into English. Kis own convictions of its success's con? firmed by many agricultural societies iu France, as well as by experiments tried in our own country. It is considered one of the most valuable agricultural discoveries of the age, having for its obr ject the preservation of forage plants through all seasons of the year, so as to retain all their original nutritive value, which, by the usual sun-curing, is in a great measure evaporated and lost. As a recognition of "the immense benefit which, has accrued to France," the Min isblr tf Ap^||e|?Dferj:ecl,the' decorf TrrrlnH^ Giffert. it is not very probable, how? ever, that this new system will be adop? ted to any gteat extent by our Southern farmers, while they depend solely on broomtedge for summer pasturage, and on shacks and wheat straw for winter forage. But this presents no reason why they should not understand,'st?dy~?ncr~a"pl5l f any system that would enable them to care for their stock more humanely du? ring the winter months. The author de? fines the word he has chosen, to convey a correct idea of his system to others, as follows: . ? amml "Fnsilagc ?ihe act of compressing into pits, trenches or compartments, called' silos; also the green crops so preserved." "Silo?excavation, pit or trench hol? lowed ia the ground, or any compart? ment used for storing green fodder in an air-tight manner." Any green crop may be preserved iu this method, but corn seems" to be~pre*-" ferred by tbe author, for the reason that so large a yield can be obtained per acre. His mode of procedure is this: With the aid of some power (either horse or steam) he cuts bis green corn-stalks, whenever they have tasseled, in half-inch iel^fiB^n^ljyb^^ p slid or1 tf?nxh^repatefl^rorHlfe -purpose as quickly and compactly as possible. The whole mass is then covered with closely fitting boards, weighted down with stones or logs so that the covering, can descend with the setting mass. Con? tinuous prtf sure is tho secret of success. This expels from the ensilage enough of the air contained in it to prevent fermen? tation and consequent decay. When the ensilage is taken from Che siloto4>Ojfedr-ex|raur^to;ther,nir, v$ a< shorttime; inaSre?al ^ fosef re, anavtb?h-,it!llS lU^TJW'illte* for cattle, and they eat it with great relish. It is then in a pulpy mass, and the whole of it is consumed. Its nutri? tive qualities appear to be increased by this proceai^-j C?J _?~""V 1 The atrtltn-tays/r?"Upon ray -reserve of thirty-five hectares (a hectare is about two and a half acres,) I have kept, du? ring the winter of 1876, forty-three horned cattle, and I shall keep during the winter of 1877 seventy, with the as? surance of going much beyond this at the end of 1878." YJ JTVI We may well believe this" statementTo be witbio-bound^^vhen ,we .reflect that fifty tonCoC-Cttra-ibdder per acre is not an uuusual yield for land in good condi? tion. In regard tote value.for fattening purposes, I quhte agaiiSi/O ??? Hfl "It is only by experience that we solve the question of the alimentary -value of maize. I can assert, however, that at my home at Burton, in the way in which I prepare it, maize with one-tenth of its weight of oat'straw, maintains my ani? mals iu perfect condition. It would be, I confess, going,too far to say,that maize alone has the faculty of makreg'viery fat animais for fairs, or for high quality butcher-stalls. Cows which are not be? ing milked, quickly take aTcondition. en? tirely satisfactory to our country butch-, ers. who are, as a class, less exacting than those of the city. But for perfect fatten? ing, it is necessary to add other elements to the regular ration. I have tried the exp'erfihentTcT"fattening fine "animals with my .preserved maize, and in addj tijn, in the commencement, of four kjlo 'grammes of oil cake (a kilogramme 'is about two and a half pounds.) They be? come fat with surprising rapidity." i This matter has been the subject of earnest investigation and experiment by many of tho learned societies of France devoted to agriculture, and is, by them, j universally commended. . ;?' . ? r' But we are not entirely^ dependent. upon the French people for information j in regard to this matter. Mr. Francis Morris, of Maryland, for more than two years past, has experimented with this process, and adds his testimony to its gc#tt value. His "Experience in Grow? ing Corn-fodder, preserving it in Biloa or ? tr&aaes \And Feeding it to Stock,"' is ? contained in this same volume. In it he says, "In a very long experi? ence in raising stock; I'have found corn-' fodder, preserved as above<8tated, the fiat, food for milking cows that I liake ever wed.'. It is equal, if not superior, to June grass, and its cultivation is so" easy, its preser ' Vatioh'so inexpensive, that to-day no one can estimate its advantage to the agri- j calturist" ? - - ' What induced this gentleman to try the experiment, and with what success, will not be uninteresting. "In the early snmmer of 1876 I received from France a newspaper containing an account of a plan they had adopted of raising maize or Indian corn, cutting the same when iu tassel and burying it in trenches, cover ingjt with earth, and feeding it out to their stock the following winter and spring. This statement induced me to make the experiment. I sowed on the 1st of August, 1876, about, five acres in drills, three feet apart, and about a bushel of corn to the acre. This was worked twice with the cultivator, j.cd was in tassel on the 1st day of October. We cut the same with the mowing ma? chine, carried it in wagons to tbe feed cutter, cut it in inch pieces and added to it an amount of wheat straw cut up in the same manner, equal to one-fifth of the corn fodder. I had three silos bricked up in a stone barn. The silos were about ten, feet deep, four wide find twenty-four feet long. The fodder was well packed down by tramping, while the mixture was put away and then cov? ered with boards with large stones upon them. After the weights had presset, it down very considerably, they were taken off, the'"boards covered with straw and then with clay. The latter was-thor oughly packed and the whole made a perfect protection against the oxygen of the atmosphere penetrating through the clay or earth. The first silo was opened on Christmas, and I fed all my milking cows with the same. Two of them .re? fused to eat their portions, and 'when they left their stalls the other cows ate it; and from that day I never fed it to an animal that has refused it?horses, mules, oxen, cows, sheep and pigs will all leave other feed and eat this by choice." The expense of constructing silos is not such as to deter any one from trying the syutemr- Htbcy may be btribj abovew below =grdundv and Withf-cany^ material Which.wilt ensure tightness, ."in prepar? ing the ensilage and filling the silos, the cost will not nearly equal that which is incurred in gathering and feeding a hay crop for an equal number of cattle, which the ensilage would keep. M. Giffert sug? gests that the "average farmer" employ threshing machine contractors," who, he says, "will find it to their interest to ladaptf themselves to this business." And he oflereTJO? francs to the first threshing machine contractor who will prove to him that he has ensilaged in this way at least 2,000 kilogrammes of fodder. (A kilogramme is two pounds, three ounces.) It is easy to see how this mode of keep? ing and fattening cattle may open ap\a new a^tertf taior?usiness tothose Wlp> ';j seaboard. The time is" tot far distant,: it is to be hoped, when our railroads""will be prohibited, by1 appro priate-4egislation, from- continuing their unjust discrimination in freights in favor of those residing at a distance from our great markets, thereby depriving those who live near them of the natural ad? vantages their location should afford. When that is accomplished, there is no ?reason" ~ why the-teef; with which our great seabord cities are supplied, should not be grown very near them, and surely there is no State which could derive a greater advantage from such a condition of things than Virginia.

Sam E. Adams, who is the Worthy Master of the Na? tional Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, and at the same time Worthy Master of the State Grange of Minnesota. This please print in the Grange column of the Weekly News. I m?st^?rnesTTy commend this to the attention and consideration of each and every Patron in this State, and appeal to them to take prompt action upon the ex? tremely liberal terms it sets forth, whether it applies to them individually or to some of their family, friends or neighbors. While the future existence of the Order has been already settled, BtiU it is f. fact that too many of the good farmers, and ;their wives and daughters have remained outside, to the detriment of the Order, themselves, society and civilization itself. Taking into consid? eration the various characteristics, edu? cational, social and business, of the Order, I am most thoroughly convinced and deeply impressed that it is of great interest, and the bounden duty of every man and woman, who is eligible, and who is anywhere between sixteen years of age and that degree of decrepitude that would render it physically impossi? ble to go to the place of meeting, to be ^members of ,-tbi% great and good-O^rderj. This-is tho only Society that baa-ever undertaken to foster and advance the in? terests of the farmer, peculiar to him as a farmer, and distinct from all other classes, and it behooves every farmer to sustain and use it, and thus gain for himself, his family and country the many and great benefits that it will secure aud bestow, if j properly managed and supported. Hereafter all questions of general in? terest to the Order, propounded to this office,, still be answered in the Grange j-coldmn of.tbe .Weekly News. irV j AJl -pK>ceediugarOl' Grange meetings whether of Pomona or Subordinate Granges, harvest feasts, memorial trees, &c., &c, should be furnished this paper.

Worthy Pahvut*: Considering it a mat? ter of importance that you should know what the action of the National and State Granges has been with reference to dor? mant Granges, I subjoin the following, [.to-wit: ,.t " The National Grange,1 at its last ses? sion, changed the fourth section on page 90 of the New Digest under "Form of Report," by striking out all after the word "however," and inserting the fol? lowing: "That such dormant Granges may be revived, if in the opinion of the Master of the State Grange the good of the Order requires it, and dues shall only be required from the date of their re? vival." The State Grange, at the Northfield sessib", passed"the"TbIlo"wing resolutions, io-jvit;.. _ , Resolved, That all back dues of delin? quent members of Subordinate drsnges oe, and the same are, hereby remitted, provided they come forward and pay for the quarter in which they ask their Grange to reinstate them, and that the above proposition hold good for the next six mouths. "Resolved, That the back dues of the Subordinate Granges^ due the State Grange for their delinquent members be, and the same are, hereby remitted for the same length of time on all members whom they reinstate under the above resolution." .Hereis presented;the golden opportu? nity, whereby those suffering froin.tbe destruction of their crops by locusts or storms, pinched by hard times, -or fallen by tbe wayside from any cause, may have their indebtedness to the Grange wiped out at once, and so be enabled to unite with their brothers and sisters throughout the country in the good work. Hear what Bro. Grosh'says: "MocbTpf the poverty and destitution of the "firm? ing classes is owing to their isolated con? dition, and a consequent lack of general information. Only by social intercourse can geni?rsympathy and everyday need? ful information be obtained. Only by union of means and efforts can the bc-t markets and cheapest supplies be secured. Hence our Grange meetings, which are designed to break up the solitary separa? tion of families; to give unto all the in? formation which each has acquired con? cerning the best methods of farming, housekeeping, marketing, &c, and to unite the knowledge and skill, and gains and savings thus acquired for the benefit of all. And thus the social features of the order are made helpers and promoters of its pecuniary prosperity. But we aim at far more and better than this. Meet? ing frequently together as brothers and sisters of the same order, holding the same principles, striving for the same objects, and recognizing the teachings of the same mysteries, a social feeling is cultivated which no other meetings would be likely to awaken. Occupied iu performing our ceremonies, in singing, music, feasting; in conversations and discussions relating to agricultural and domestic improvements; in readings, re? citations, and other entertainments for improvement of mind, morals and affec? tions, the hearts, are cheered, cares are lightened, minds are brightened, and the wearied and care-liden are recuperating for their toils and duties. Thus a new current of thought and feeling and life are set in motion." The only question for us to consider is, whether we can derive any good from combination of efforts. If we are satis? fied with exorbitant salaries, and with the daily increasing taxation ; if we are willing to bear all the burdens of govern? ment, and do not care to have them more equitably distributed; if we shut our eyes to the excessive charges of our rail? road companies ; if we are indifferent as to our social, mental and moral privi leges, then indeed is there no use for the Order of the Patron?'of Husbandry. It is frjtpis tCsay whether this Order shall survive* cfrperish.' Can -we afTord to per rqifit to die out? If so, be assured the other callings will rejoice at the pros? pective opportunity continued to them of sapping our prosperity henceforth, and that, too, through our own apathy and neglect. This is the only national organization in the country, and when it becomes ex? tinct, then will expire the hopes of the American farmer for a brighter, happier future.' Then all legislation,.State and National) w?Tbe operated by, and in the in'tereststof, "the arbitrary and moneyed monopolies, which we ourselves have created, and have warmed into life, as the countryman did the viper. What is the remedy ? We must be more united, more zealous- and. more numerous. We must mass our batteries on the State Legislature and'oh Congress, in order to defeat and destroy the steady encroach? ments made upon our industry by gigan? tic associations and opulent corporations. We must be wise and watchful. "Owl give us men ! a time like this demands Strong mind-, great hearts, true faith and hands; Men whom the lmi of oflicc docs not kill; . Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men WhoDOsstss opinions .andjf will; Men wTion'aveTi?n?r \ roen'wTio will not He; Men who can stand before a demagogue. And damn his treacherous flatteries without wink? ing. Tall men, sun crowned who live above the fog In public duty, and private thinking i For wnile tho rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, _ Their large professions an?Tfiiclr Hlfle Seeds Mingle in saltish strife, lo! Freedom wacps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps." Let us labor unceasingly for the "good time coming." Faithfully and fraternally, SI ! Sam. E. Adams. Letthe Negro Go.?An old man, an intelligent and successful farmer, came into our office a few days ago and said to us words like these: "I am thoroughly convinced that the salvation of our farms must depend largely upon the cultiva? tion of the grasses; aud the experiments I have made in this direction the past year, have so far exceeded my expecta? tions, that I will hereafter devote the greater portion of my farm to the raising of grasses and the rearing of live stock. I can think of no better heritage to leave my children and grandchildren than a good farm well set in grass, and - stocked with the necessary number of stock. I have been thinking seriously over the negro exodus from this State, and am now convinced that we can do better without, than with the negro; that if every negro in the State would emi? grate, that our country would be the gainer by the movement." When the majority of our farmers determine to give up cotton aud-turn their attention more earnest^^^gxass. and stack^lthey. will then understand better how the negro can be de^pensed with. Every drove of negroes who we hear of leaving toe State causes our heart to rebound in emotions of gladness, for we know that grass and stock will eventually suggest themselves to the land as the most available remedy for the loss of negro labor.?So. Live Slock Journal. Bonaparte's Birthplace.?A French Imperialist paper makes the statement that the French government has con? ceived the idea of ceding Corsica to Italy for a consideration. The great object of getting rid of the island would be lo cut the ground from under the feet of any Bonapartist -pretender. It may be re mcmberecr^tiKt tho'-qnestion has often been debated as to whether Napoleon I was a Corsican or a Frenchman, and it has generally been suspected that the registration of his birth was falsified in order to make out that he was born after Corsica had become French. It would certainly be a relief to France if it could get rid of one class of pretenders ; but it is doubtful whether the Bonapartes would go back to their isle and not claim to be naturalized. It is curious what a number of naturalized Italians, in addi? tion to the Bonapartes, have played a prominent part in French history. One might mention, for example, the Medi cis, Julius Mazarin, Concini, the De Broglies or De Broglios, the Mira beaus, Massena, the spoiled child of victory, Prince of Essling, Duke of Ri voli, and at present M. Gambetta, whose grandfather lived at Genoa.?Pali Malt Gazette. " : Co \h.rs Before the Public. *; ? _ GENUINE DZ3.
