Tut Groom and Country Merchant of
Ban Francisco estimates tho wheat
crop of California tor 188? at about
900,000 short tons, and that of Oregon

28,000,000 centals, or 43,300,000 busk

aggregate for 1880. Tho falling off
was all in California, as Oregon and
Washington increased their yield in

A most important experiment has
been made looking to the acclimatis
ation of the shad in the rivers which
are in connection with the hydro
graphic basin of the Great 8alt Luke.
It is believed by Colonel McDonald
and the Fish Commission that all the
conditions for the reproduction of
shad are here naturally found. The
late Commissioner, Frofossor Baird,
had determined to test by exhaustive
experiment the capabilities of these
waters. Accordingly 1,000,000 shad
fry were sent to Utah and the young
fish deposited In the Jordan river.
This first attempt will be followed in

Mt. Vxbkok, 111. The cyclone that
visited this city destroyed nearly three
hundred residences and places of busi
ness, and unhoused from 1,200 to 1,500
persons. In the fall of walls many
people were buried under the debris,
and thirty-five were killed, while twice
as many more were injured, eight or
ten so seriously that their lives are
despaired of. Preceding the destruct
ive wind was a heavy fall of rain for
half an hour, which drove all the in
habitants to shelter. This was followed
by a slight , hailstorm accompanied
with lightning, and then the furious
cloud, which formed into a funnel
shaped cyclone, struck the southwest
portion of the city, unroofing every
thing in its path. Taking a diagonal
course through the business part of
the city, it unroofed and dismantled
the superior court building and crushed
the Methodist and Baptist churches
into worthless marses. At one point
the destructive element jumped up
ward and missed several stores and
residenoes, but it soon pounced down
again, tearing down heavy brick build
ine. wrenching and tearing frame
structures out of all semblance, and
making a useless mass out of solid
banks. The massive court house that
occupied the public square was literally
torn to pieces. This was the extreme
point to the north which the storm
reached. Fifty yards south the storm
seemed to be at its height. On the
corner of Washington street and the
public square, Crow s block, a three
fctory brick building, was demolished
and, then taking fire, consumed. The
owner, being caught in the falling
walls, was cremated. Across the street
was a row of two-story frame building
with an occasional brick. The brick
buildings were caved in and the frame
buildings crushed out of shape against
each other. Near the corner to the
south were a lot of frame structures
which served as dwellings and ware
houses. They were blown down and
then burned up entirely. The storm
was over in three minutes, and the
people who were unharmed gave as
sistance to the needy. The fire com
pany, aided by citizens who had
organized into squads, began work
putting out tho fire and removing the
unfortunates. Tho mayor called for
assistance from neighboring ' towns,
which was promptly given. What was
left of the supreme court building was
turned into a morgue.
The storm does not appear to have
done any damage outside of Mount
Vernon. Had the storm occurred an
hour earlier, the loss of life would have
been frightful, as the churches which
were deitroyed wore crowded at that
time.

If tockmen and dairymen here are

Eacking hou nd dairies, they must
eep up with the time iu respect to
feeding. Ensilage ha Deen uDjec!eu
to all stfrts of doubt and prejudice,
and has come to be considered in old
countries not only as a proper method
of preserving fodder of all eort for
stock, but of being a cheap and econ
omical method a well. It is not only
claimed that the product of an acre
can be thus preserved at readable
cost, so as to bear comparison with
well cured hay, but it ha the further
advantage of adding to the value of
the fodder by it fermentation, bo that
it become more valuable aa feed when
taken from the ilo than when first
taken from the field.
At first it wa thought the silo must
be a tight pit, built of stone and brick,
and laid in cement; that the fodder
should be kept entirely secluded from
air, hermetically sealed, a it were, and
that all feed must be cut fine to pack
closely and be well preserved. Later
experiments prove that much less care
is necessary to secure good result. A
farmer in New England give hi ex
perience in such plain language that
no better description of a silo and the
making of ensilage can be had. He
says: "My silo is in the barn opposite
the tie-up. It is 10x20 feet azd 18 feet
deep, three feet below the barn floor,
with walls of stone and cement, with
loose boards at the bottom lying on
hard gravel; above, the sides are
planed matched boards, the whole
costing $JU. Ihe first year I put in
whole without cutting, on July 10th,
about twenty tons of green rye, oats
and barley (mostly barley) sown mixed
together. 1 1 was covered and weighted
and six weeks later the cover was re
moved to admit ten ton more of
fodder corn put in whole. The cover
was replaced antr weighted, and the
silo opened in November. The cattle
were greedy for the ensilage all winter
and no other mixture of fodder has
given equal satisfaction either for milk
or beef. I should have fed from the
whole tep, instead of cutting down in
sections, thereby causing some Iofs
by heating. Last year I ensilaged
some clear rye in June, but it did not
give satisfaction a a feed. The cover
was removed and the stlo filled up
with fodder corn in September, and
then weighted with stone to the depth
of a foot. The corn was put in whole.
being laid a much one way a pos
sible, with occasionally a little aoross
the ends the other way to keep it up
level. It keeps just a well without
cutting as with, and come out well
by cutting across the silo once in two
or four feet with a broadaxe and roll
ing it out. One of the disadvantages
of not cutting is that we cannot put
in quite as much a when cut up, but
the fodder is more expensive. It costs
less to put fodder into a silo than to
cure and house, even if in continuous
good weather."
We gave, the other day, the experi
ence of an Oregon farmer who made a
mere pit in the earth and laid in corn
fodder, stalk and all, and after a year
fed it to good advantage. But author
ity bIiowb the advantage of mixing
different growths, as eorn, rye, oats,
clover, peas, etc., then, by cutting
down, have this well assorted food to
give to stock.
The matter of feeding stock is of
such prime importance that no excuse
need be made for giving silos and en
silage prominence. The reader of
agricultural journals for a few years
back must have seen that encilage is
considered the best of winter feed for
milk cows, as wiih well aborted onai.
lage they give the richest of milk and
make gilt-edge butter through the
worst season of the year. Butter so
made has hud all the fragrance that
spring food is alone supposed to give.
Besides this, it furnishes healthy win
ter feed for all kinds of stock, not
excepting hogs and sheep. With rape
iur Bummer uea ana ensilage for the
winter, the farmer can go through the
year with comfort to Block and profit
to himself. The important fact that
mis lecu is bo cue iply made is a para
mount advantiige.
There is no question but that to cut
tne icxiuer is the best way, if the
farmer can conveniently do so, as it
packs closer and" is handled easier
