The cattle are now writes, In fine condition, fed on ensilage all winter. Is |« below: t M. Hoe—Dear Sir: In with your wish, I have oat a history of the experi- Whtoh, under yonr directions, ■do wkh ensilage fodder, ful Of 18711 you built vour •Oder toe barn floor, dimen- oat 80 feet deep, 80 foet long feftt wide. The waUe were of stone and Portland oement freed with a mortar, ‘ | sand. The drainage, was iRo not hMftt completed in ensilage toe corn planted for we decided la putting of it, that we had st that h rnlhMimiriMr At 4, mot flntshlnr tHm •t it on a Fri- .Jg on Saturday, and unweighted morning the ^ Sr than when Vfenwmtattoo hav- tnok. We came to would he imprudent top of that for- veil no more et- wbeu on etoan- nbtaek de an the aaameito with of Sl acree, planted oorn. Some I planted to rows three feet apart, and some two fimt. l%e|dautitig was done by the Albany Corn Planter, adjusting it so at so drop 1ft grains per foot. Tbe dote planting proved the best fodder, being a much finer stalk, with more leaves. Yet tbe yield did not amount tetnoro then wbat was planted three feet apart, While the oorn was grow ing, we tatted of tbe etalk at different times, found the sap to differ in taate, even in tbe same etalk very much; one part was sweet while tbe other part was insipid. Each time we ex amined it, we tonnd the sweet ssp ad vancing toward the top, and when it bed tost point it commenced to reach show blossom. When the stalk was In bloom ten days, we had it cot in three-uuarter lengths by the New York Plow Co.’s Cyclo-Entilago Cot ter, conveyed to tbe silo by an eleva tor, having two men in the silo tread ing it down. Thesheatiug around and above tbe silo, on the Mills plan, is nine feet high, which allows for pack ing. It wonld require more It not well packed while being filled. When full, which look four days, we put on a layer sal, hay about an inch thick, when pressed; over that we placed 8-inch plank, then we used 2d tons ot "kentledge iron,” for a comprctsion, on the 200 souare feet of silo surface. This we hati done the first waek in ScDtember. We opened it on the 1st of November, and found the salt hay an injury to it, as it seemed to mould the ensilaga, the dry hay absorbing the juice out of the corn and causing it to decay, damaging two inches of en silage. Except this, our loss was not over one per cent. The flnit*two days I fed it, the cattle did not eat it greed ily, but before the week expired, they would leuVe good upland nay, to eat ensilage. During the winter I had it fed to cowt, calves, hogs nnd poultry; all seemed to like it. One of our Guernsey calves was so delicately con stituted that the herdsman had to give it nourishment ont of a bottle. We thought it would surely die. Under those circ urn stances, wo tried the en silage by putting a little in the calft mouth To our astonishment, she commenced to cat it, and grew strong and healthy on it. That winter there was an increase of milk, and the but ter was much yellower than on pre vious ones. In the spring the cattle were all healthy and in good condi tion. In the summer of 1881, we built another silo of the same capacity— about four thousand cubic feet of com pressed ensilage. Those walls were made of bricks and Portland cement, 12 inches thick, baaing the stone foun dation of the ham on three sides, and the stone 'wall of the other silo to sup port the fourth brick wall. Those walls were left .unfaccd with the ce ment, but we found it injurious, as tbe bricks absorbed some moisture and prevented it from packing. That yoar we planted seven acres of southern oorn, in rows 24 feet apart, and filled both silos. This time, instead of using salt hay as before, we spread six sacks of common sail, which proved very ■atisfacto y, having no loss whatever —the salt even preserving a brighter green. Onr experience in feeding that winter was just as satisfactory as that of 1882, which confirmed my belief in its nutriment as a fodder. In 1883, we experimented with sor ghum, planting two acres, and found its yield one-third less than that of corn. Wc had it kept separate iu the silo. When we opened it and first saw it, we thought it was improvement ou tbe corn, on account of its green ness; but there was more woody fibre, x vinegar taste and a stronger ' smell, and tbe cattle did not eat it so greedily. The eiloe were covered and weighted ae formerly, except putting some dry earth op top of the planks, which we found beneficial. Our method of tak ing it out of tbe silo during those years, was by cutting it in four-foot bencher with a hay-knife, allowing the pressure'to remain ou (he other part. This system of taking out we abandon ed, as we found ont thatthe air affected the free of it, especially in warm weather. From November, 1883, until July, 1884, all our animals were stabled and fed on ensilage and ground feed, allowing four quarts of ground feed _ la (£» flute, of an ^ of May V fto* Btratobw to* following summary of toftftft re ports tor publication j Tbe weather daring the month of April was very favorable for forming operations and form work progressed satisfactorily. Lauds have been better prepared than usual and growing crops are free of grass, and in proper condition to be fully benefitted by fevorable seasons. The wheat crop Is not so promising ae last year. Owing to tbe severe win ter weather good stands were not gen erally obtained, and a full average yield will not be realized. Fail sown oats were badly winter- killed, and except in a few tavored localities short crops are anticipated. Spring oats bave been injured by dry weather and stands are defective. The cotton area has been slightly de creased below last vear, but tbe crop is reported in nmcfi belter condition than on the first of May, 1884 The area in corn has been somewhat follow in toe $»< mtontly ap- aynetvUie, Ala., JBx- •■aSSheOkeieitMtttfth. (eompftead of equal parts of corn meal, mh wheat bran, middlings and oats) and 59 pounds of ensilage for each full- grown animal for 24 hours. Having now fed it four consecutive years, we have yet to find out any bad effect from using it, but everything in its favor as a profitable food, having fed 20 animals for -six months on the produce of 34 acres. When we con sider the advantage of storing so much food in so small u space, with the fact that bntter production is increased and is of a brighter color, its utility seems established. We weighed a cubic foot of ensilage taken from three different depths of the silo, top, centre and bot tom. The top toot weighed57 pounds; centre, 55 pounds, and bottom, 53, pounds—showing conclusively that, if the silo Is water-tight, and enough pressure on it, the liquid will come to the top, if any liquid is there. During the past season, we have divided the silo into four parts, uncovering nil of one section to feed fVom. This ob viates the difficulty of having the sur- fece too long exposed, as we take from it every second day, and it is in no way injured by exposure. It also save* labor, being much easier taken out.

Not a single township in the State reports a decrease in the area planted in corn. The condition ot sngar cane and sorghum is reported much higher than last year, with a slightly decreased area in both crops.

In the upper counties the increase amounts to 30 per cent , over last year. With few exceptions, the field labor is reported as ample and more efficient than nsual. In some sections fruit was injured by frosts in April. Apples were not damaged and the crop will be abundant. The books of the department show that 16 per cent, more commercial fertilizers have been used this year than last —up to the first of May the consumption for 1884 amounting to 97,488 tons, and 1885 to 112,476 tons.

Mercury is more destructive to human health and life than war, pesti lence and famine combined. So said a distinguished writer many years ago, and it is as true to-day as then. The poor victim of Blood Disease is drug ged with Mercary to cure the malady, and then doued with iodides to cure him of the Mercurial Poisoning; but instead of any relief, tbe first breaks down his general health and makes him a cripple, and the other ruins his digestive organs. Mercury and Potash are dangerous even when administer- td by directions and under the eye ot a good physician, and when put up in nostrums, often by incompetent per sons, are apt to produce evil conse quences. Be careful of these poison ous mixtilres or you may regret it. Mwift’s Specific is entirely a vegetable preparation, and should not bo con founded with the varions imitations, non secret humbugs, “Succns Alte- rans,” etc., all of wnich either contain Mercury and Potash, or arc composed of old remedies which have long since bccu discarded as of no value in the treatment of Blood Diseases, and none of them contain a single article which enters into the composition of Swift’s Specific. There is only one Swift’s Specific (8. S. S.) and there is nothing in the world like it. Bo sure and get the genuine. Inflammatory Rheumatism. I have been afflicted for nearly four teen years with tbe severest form of inflammatory rheumatism. For a large portion of the time was confined to bed, and suffered the most excruci ating pain, my legs badly swollen. My case was thought incurable by the phy sicians, and I have often hoped that death would ensue and relieve me of paiu. Last month I secured, at the suggestion of a friend, one dozen l>ot- tles of Swifi’s Specific, and after using about six bottles I am entirely free from pain, the first time in nearly fourteen years. My joints are becom ing more supple and tbe swelling gone. I am ready to answer any inquiries as to the facts iu the case. G. W. St. Clair. Cabot, Ark., April 16, 1864.

Aft archy instead of a republic, may well bo proud of the society, provincial though it may be called, which pro duced such men. In what land were greater anil better men grown than in the South? How was it that for sixty years of Southern control of the Government no such thing as corruption iu public life was ever known in its administration? How is it that as soon as this passed away, and tho sceptre full to the North, we find that many statesmen became mil lionaires on salaries of $5,000 per annum? When we contrast the careers of Lee and Grant we have no occasion to blush for our provincialism. Again I thank you for your manly protest nnd indignant denunciation of that piece of im|>crtiiience to which you referred in the Cenluvy Mayazine tor March. The April number of the Mayazine is before me, H(ui in an article (in the main well considered) on the Solid Mouth, it Implies that the negroes are capable of such advancement as will enable them to lustily in the future the hope ot the North: that the whites and negroes of the South will occupy at last the same pinne ot civilizatiou. Speaking of the days of reconstruction it says: “Here was a race of men wiio, through no fault of their own, had been sunk by slavery and ignorance to a condition but little above that of the brutes, like which they had been bought and sold at auction. They and their ancestors before them for generation had been mere chattels, whom it was a grave crime to tench even to read. They were absolutely deidcd the first qualification for par ticipation in the government of a country which had always denied them the right even to govern their own persons.” Now this, Mr. Editor, while the strongest urgnment to show the follv of the project of reconstruction, yet seems to imply that this despised race may one day, when they do learn to read and write, become the equals of their former masters. That they had been held for genera tions as slaves in this country >old as chattels, denied the government of their own persons, prevented by the laws from learning to read and write, was by no means the reason why they were unfit toi the task imposed ou them by the reconstruction acts, of keeping in motion the complicated machinery of a free Republican gov ernment of a mighty people. Instead of having been “sunk by slavery and ignorance to a condition hut little above that of the brutes,” they, in fact, had been elevated under its benign influences to a d«rr<K! of civilization which no considerable number of their race had ever else where attained. They had been captured in their native deserts, “where, wild in woods, the naked savage ran,’ br persons in stigated by the gold of our Northern friends, and had been transported by the ships of these enterprising Northern friends, to be sold for a great profit to the provincials of the South. Under the miserable influence of this system tho South had been so degraded that it could produce no higher types of civilization than Wash ington, Jeflcrson, Madison, Monroe, Taney, Wythe, Pendleton, Stonewall Jackson and Robt. E. Lee. And the naked savages, who in the whole history of the word, had never emerged from their native lands ex cept as slaves, and had in the tide of time continued as slaves in every land to which they had been brought, and who had relapsed into heathenism and barbarism whenever the, to them, civ ilizing influence of slavery, in the form in which it prevaied in the South elevated to a dignity of character to which they had never been before known to attain. The South ife solid, and will remain solid, not only for the reasons given in the Century, but because, having a wide experience of negro character, and a thorough knowledge of the capacities of the negro race, it knows that barbarism will triumph, and the land of Washington and Lee will be come a waste, if we permit ourselves to be deluded for one moment into the idea of educating the negro into an equality with the white man. Freed man's Bureaux and Biair bills must alike be jealously watched, for the Blair bill is only the entering wedge for the Freedman’s Bureau. The new South of our Northern friends must be frowned upon, until those who, under the specious pretext of material wealth, advocate the substitution of Northern ideas for our true Southern principles, (which have produced a race of brave men and refined and virtuous women, equal to any in tbe world,) are rendered as odious as the t-baggers and scalawags, whose timate offspring they are. ua frown on those of onr public men who would teach our people that it is the highest aim of statesmanship to secure an appropriation; who would substitute a paternal Govern ment for tbe free institutions of our republic, and educate our people into the idea that they are to look to Wash ington for all blessings, instead of watching jealously tbe servants we have sent there, and requiring them to confine themselves strictly within the •oopeofthe powers we have given them.

The Re publican Senators all voted tor Logan, giving him 26 votes. Unger’s vote was received with cheers. When Sit- ti£ was called, in a long speech he ex plained his position. He voted for Logan under protest. The announce ment was received with the wildest cheers. This gave Logan 103 votes. On the call ot absentees the Democrats voted solidly for Judge Lambert Tree. After roll-call Messrs Baker, McNary. McAlinev, Caldwell, Quinn and Craft ranged their votes to Charles B. Far- well. Barry, Democr.it, changed his vote to John A. Logan, and the wild est confusion prevailed. Tin* insured Logan’s election. Roll-call was pro ceeded with after a time, the Demo crats attempting to elect Farwell, hoping to some Republican votes. Barry withdrew his vote from Logan, stated that he would not allow any other Republican than Logan to be elected. No Republican support went out to Farwell, and Speaker Haines finally announced the vote declaring Logan elected. THE PLYMOUTH PLAGUE.
