Hr. Freoident aud Gentlemen:
The saoject of ensiUge bas been su
well written un that you wilf ex
. u e me for making only a few re-
oiarku upon it. Tbe ensilage pit is
tjie first tiling to be built and this
BH y be done by digging the pit, say
8x8x16 feet in a clay soil, which is
impervious to water and air or it
be made out of brick with the
•alls cemented. A pit of the di-
neusions above mentioned, will
hold fifty tons of ensilage, the only
uqaitUes being that the pit should
have smooth and even walls, so that
the ensilage could be packed the
better aud should be impervious to
air aud water.
It is generally admitted that corn
jg the host crop to use, although
peas, clover, stighum, and in
&ct almost any green crop may be
gawd iu this way. These crops
gbontd come to such a stage of ma
turity as to contain tbe most uutri
live elements, viz : cor n »houid be
cut as soon an the gram is glazed
or in the dough state, aud peas
when the pods are filled or when
tbestems have taken in all the ele
ments for making the matured grain
and have not lire mre too woody.
The miterial should bo carried to
the pit and cut into short pieces
with an ensilage cutter, scattered
evenly in and trampled down com- j
partly. The advantage of cutting
the material is that more of the sur-
face is thus exposed aud hence the
juices will run out the more quick
|y, causing fermentation and a uni
form heat reaching 130° Fahrenheit
throughout the miss. At this stage
the pit shouil be covered and
weighted so as to stop fermentation
by the exclusion of air. The weights
generally recommended are boxes
filled with sand, although some
contend that the mass of material
itself is of sufficient weight. But
my experience went to prove that
extra weight was necessary Con
cerning the mode of growing the
corn for ensilage perse us differ.
The generally accepted plan is to
drill about ten quarts of gouul seed
corn to the acre, so as to have the
eon. stalks thin enough to produce
Dubbins. One may get a larger
amount of stalks from an acre by
broadcasting, but it will be poor,
losing more in nutriment than it
has gained m weight I will make
Ino.tiou of a new fodder material
which has been highly spoken of,
viz: Teomute (or lieaiia luxorians)
which glows twelve feet high and
one plant of which will furnish food
to two cows for twenty-four hours.
Eighty five stalks have grown from
one seed, and further the plant
sprouts a second growth after be
ing out.
The value of e isilage is two-
thirds of that ot good hay. A feed
ol ensilage is %b<>ut thirty pounds
sad should have throe pounds ot
aiiO ts or meal mixed with it for
cows Goffart bns kept his cows
ou this rniiou in good condition
from year to year. It is true that
many have ensilaged their crops
without cutting it short by laying
the corn sulks lengthwise aud cx
eluding as much air as possible iu
tin packing. This might bo done
to advantage iu seme cases, using a
hay knife to cut it >hoit when re
moving ir from Tim pit.
As we give wue attention to tbo
keening ot stocli as a means of
ftMuumig our land, ensilage will be
sure to take its proper place iu our
*gricu tural economy.
bond Advice to Young Farmers.
(From the Cotuoibia Register )
The Baltimore A’un. in commend
ing to the attention uf its readers
tbe address of Col. Itobert Bover
ly of Fauquier Gouiity, Virginia,
and who, our contemporary toils
us, is the President of the Virginia
Farmers’ Assembly, and widely
known for bin practical methods
aud splendid success as an agricul
turist, thus seta forth the tenor of
Ool Beverly’s address:
“Col. Beverly’s paper takes the
form of an address to the young
tuen of his own and adjoining
States, and is a practical discus
sion of the reasoni why the young
farmer of this section should not
follow Horace Greeley’s advice aud
go West While admitting that
agriculture is, and has hewn, for
acme years in a depressed condi
tion, Col. Beverly maintains that
this complaint is almost universal,
and that the West is little or no
better off than the East. He cites
the cases of a number of young
men who took bis advice several
years ago and remained in their
native (States, aud who have now
become prosperous, and of others
▼bo wtnt West only to suffer great
er uardships than (hey bad eudur
®d at home. He believes that the
time haa gone by for most fui mere
iu this section of the country to
follow Mindly the old routine of
raising wheat, corn, hogs, tobacco,
in all of which, except tobacco, the
Weat can excel them. They should
vary their agricultural methods ac
fording to Iheir situation, and
should produce such things as will
find a ready market iu the cities
which are springing up all around
them. They should raise, be says,
°nly meat and bre. d enough for
their own me and that of their em
ployeea, and gain for truck, dairy,
poultry and garden products that
ai* always in demand, and whkb
vielu au immediate return. He
gives some practical advice, which
•« the f >ondation atone of all buo>.
whetb r in city or country
He advueg young men to econo*
times to give their personal atten
tion and work to their farms. Fin
ally, he advises tbe farmers young
and old, to organize for selt’prorec
tion against the monopolistic iuflu
euccs that too often sway legisla
tive bodies.”
The tfun also calls attention lo a
valuable paper of Dr. Tanner of
Shepherd’s Town, West Virginia,
who, it is said, stands so 'oml to no
one in his State as a practical stock
raiser and fine faruer. Says our
contemporary:
“Dr. Tanner touches on the
same general theme in his vigorous
and wellswritten article, bat directs
his attention principally to the evils
oi trusts and combinations as they
affect the farming community. He
discusses the subject iu a way t ! at
proves his piactical sympathy with
it, aud shows how near this matter
ia to the agricultural heart when
he says that these evils must result
eventually either in the interposi
tion of the strong hand < f the law
or in popular revolution. The
great value of these p in rs, apart
fiom the piactical and sound ad
vice which they off r, is to be f mud
iu the lact that they come from rep
reseulative farmers, and are Hie
direct expression of the views of
that great majority of our popula
tion who live outside of towns and
cities, ou some of the most import
ant iaaues of the day. I; is not
politics that they discuss, but bread
and butter, aud the-ie gentlemen,
in common with the farmers every
where, are dreidfully in earnest
about the evils from which they
suffer. But while they do uot dis
cuss these topics from a political
standpoint, their words are words
ot warning, which the politicians of
all parties would do well to hoed,
for behind these writers stands
that great body of yeomanry ou
w hosedaily labor depends the daily
food of the whole laud, and who
are beginning to awaken to a con
sciousness of their strength and
importance. It will not do for
trnsts and corporations and combi
nations of capital to try the pa
tience of these people too far, nor
tor State or Federal legislative
bodies to ignore their just de
mands.”
In conclusion, the Hun thinks :
“The papers of Gol. Beverly and
Dr. Tanner will form ‘mighty in
teresting reading’ for some of our
statesmen at Washiimton, who
would do well uot only to peruse
them, but to bring forth fruits
meet to repentance.”

not to hurt him, if she did. Mrs.
