The! pair of black silk socks on this body j contained the fauio initials, worked in red ink.

A reHrt from the Vermont Agricul tural Kxpcrlmciit Station nays for two years punt experiment were conduct ed to dctcruiluo the best method of lire serving the ooru plant for winter line. Four methods were tried. First, whole ensilage was made by running the new ly cut corn through a cutter, reducing It to one-half Inch lengths, then putting Into the silo. Seismd. the ears were husked. crlbliiM, dried, ground, col and all, mill fed Iu connection with the stalks, which had been previously cut and made into ensilage; this was called stover ensilage and meul. Third, the fodder was preserved Iu large shocks, and before feeding was run through it utter, ears and nil. and cut Into one half Inch lengths. Fourth, the corn was husked from the fodder, ground with the cub nnd fed with the stover, nfti-r It had been run through the cut ter as needed from time to time. Samples from the material preserved by the different methods were carefully analyzed, nnd the fodder was fed to a herd of fourteen milch cows. It waa found that each of the methods pre served iiIhuU four llfths of the dry mat ter harvested, the loss from each being practically the same Iu quality nnd In character. The fodder kept In the shock lost more nnd more dry dry mat ter as the winter progressed. The ears in the silo during the last tost lost more of their food value than those preserved in nny other way, thla being the reserve of n previous test. The relative cost of placing the sumo amount of dry matter In the manger was greatly In favor of whole ensilage. Time and money spent hi husking nnd grinding the ears were wasted, lis bet ter results were obtained when the em's were left on the stalk. The en sllagi were relished much better by tho. cows nnd they do better upon them. 1'a nil News.

A merlcau Cultivator. flowing end Hrnrrdins, Within the punt few years there have been more than usual complaints of grass mid clover secMs not "catching" well, und of "running out" after an npmrcutly good sealing had been se curitl. Ill-ought, r hard freezing In winter, nre commonly given ns reasons for these grass failures. Hut In many cases we su.sp.s-t that thin does not ex plaJn the whole dltllctilty. As vegetable mutter In the soli decreases It l much more Injured by drought than It Is while the soil retained Its virgin fertility. Our climate Is not a moist one. like that of Fnglnnd, mid our winter cold is much more severe. We cannot cxpivt per manent grass either for pasture or meadow. To plow nnd nweeil every second or third year seems to be n ne cessity of good farming in our Northern States, Xor Is this necessity nny real hardship. The first year or two after needing the crop Is nlwny better than nfter, nnd then, tisi, there la the Is'st sward to plow under. Kngllsh turf may keep thickening no the years pass by. but our grass lands nre sure to grow thin. The longer the roplowlng Is do layed. the more dllllcult It Is likely to lie to get n good catch with the uew seeding. Kx. Keep Live Ptock In Ooo.l Condition. It Is the best and safest plan to put nil the live stock ou winter rations' hi gooii time nnd before they become really hungry mid lose flesh by the want of nutriment In the ftsid gathered from the tields. As soon ns n frost has laketi the starch out of the herbage nnd les soiled It ability to nourish an niilmnl the main supply of food should be given from the winter stores. To fall off now hi to keep out of condition nil the winter. It Is tpilte ptisslble to stall feed nn animal xvlth success In the win ter, but the consumption of fisid xvlll In considerably Increased over and nlsive what would be required nt any other season. It Is nn old saying thnt an nnlinal well summered Is half wintered. It Is perfectly true, for once the system la In a thrifty condition t Is more easily kept so than It can be recovered from a lowered state of health nnd vigor.
