AGRICULTURAL
" " " ' "The Ensilage of Maize."
This is the title of a small publication just
translated from the French, and is exciting a
good deal of attention, owing to the import
ariceof the subject. The author of the work
is M. Auguste Gifiert, an extensive and dis
tinguished agriculturist of France. In
speaking of his early attempts to improve
his condition, he says, "I gave my attention
to the culture of maize, and I began to seek
for it a system of preservation by ensilage.
I have therein entirely succeeded, but only
after thousands of experiments, which have
continued not less than a quarter of a cen
tury." That he has "entirely succeeded," would
seem to be assured, judging from the action
and experiments of many of the learned
Agricultural Societies of France, as well as
experiments tried in our own country. The
Minister of Agriculture of Fi ance couferred
the decoration of the Legion of Honor upon
M. Giffert as a recognition of "the immense
benefit which has accrued to France" by
his discovery. Judging by present appear
ances, this new method of preserving fodder
is one of the most important discoveries of
the present 'age, and will revolutionize our
whole system in producing our cheese, but
ter nd beef.
The object which Beems to hav e been ac
complished, is the preservation of forage
plants through all seasons of the year, so as
to retain all their nutritive value when
green, but which is, in a great measure, lost
oy our present system of curing. This idea
was suggested by a fact familiar to us all.
The author says:
"If there is one fact recognized by all ag
riculturists, it is that a certain quantity of
grass which, consumed in a green state,
represents an ascertained nutritive value,
loses a considerable portion of that value in
passing into a state of hay intended for the
Winter sustenance of animals. The cow
which gives us in Summer, while feeding on
green crass, such excellent milk and butter
of such agreeable color and flavor, furnishes
us in Winter, when she eats the same grass
converted into hay, an inferior quality of
milk and pale, insipid butter. What modi
fications has this grass undergone in chang
ing to hay ? These modifications are nu
merous. It is sufficient to cross a meadow
at the time when the new mown grass is
undergoing deseccation in order to recog
nize that it is losing an enormous quantity
of its substance that exhales -in the air in
agreeable odors, but which, if they remain
ed in the plant, would serve as a condiment,
facilitating digestion and assimilation."
This simple observation furnished the ini
tial idea which has developed in a great dis
covery, and, like most of the gn at discove
ries made, it proceeds from a fact that the
whole world is familiar with.
First, let me give the author's definition
of the terms he employs necessary to under
stand his method : "Ensilage the act of
compressing into pits, trenches or compart
ments, called silos ; also the green crops so
preserved." "Silo excavation, pit or trench
hollowed in the ground, or any compart
ment used for storing green fodder in an air
tight manner."
Any green crop may be preserved in this
method, but corn seems to be preferred by
the .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 his green corn-stalks, whenever they
have tasseled, in half-inch lengths, and im
mediately packs them in a silo or trench
prepared for the purpose as quickly and
compactly as possible. The whole mass is
then covered with closely fitting boards,
weighed down with stones or logs so that
the covering can descend with the settling
mass. Continuous pressure is the secret of
success. 11ns expels from the ensilage
enough of the air contained in it to prevent
lcrmentation and consequent decay.
When the ensilage is taken from the silo
to be fed, exposure to the air, in a short
time, induces alcoholic fermentation to set
in, and then it is in its best state for cattle,
and they eat it with great relish. It is then
in a pulpy mass, and the whole of it is con
sumed. Its nutritive qualities appear to be
increased by this process.
This matter has been the subject of earn
cat investigation and experiment by many
01 the learned societies ot b ranee devoted
to agriculture, and is, by them universally
commended.
But we are not entirely dependent upon
the French people for information in regard
. At -.1 nr ; . . j
w mis ujuiver. jirr rancis xuorris 01 xuary
land, for more than two years past, has ex
pcrimented with this process, and adds his
testimony to its great value. His "Expe
nence in crowing corn-iodcier, preserving
it in bilos or trenches and Feeding it 1
Stock," is contained in this same volume.
In it he says, "In a very long experience
in raising stock, I have found corn-fodder,
preserved as above stated, the best food for
milking cows that I have ever used. It is
equal, if not superior, to June grass, and its
cuiuvauon is so easy, its preservation so
inexpensive, that to-day no one can estimate
us advantage to the agriculturist."
mi . ...
a ne expense ot constructing silos is not
such as to deter any one from trying the
system. They may be built above or be
low ground, and with any material which
will ensure tightness. In preparing the en
silage and filling the silos, the cost will not
nearly equal that which is incurred in gath-
enng and leeding a hay crop for an equal
number of cattle, which the ensilage would
keep.
.New York. William Fi llertox.
Many farmers throw awav ho nl.l
urine oi oeei ana pork barrels and nsh nack-
ages. Sometimes they pour it on a grass
patch or under a tree and kill the vegeta
tion. If they desire to kill vegetation with
it, they should pour it on patches of bur
docks or thistles, or around trees that are
worthless. It is better, however, tn ns it
for manure, in which case it should be ap-
pueu wiin judgment, it may be applied

It Pays to Know How.
When a farmer has a good farm, and fails
to make a good living from it without run
ning in debt, the cause must be that he
doesn't know how to manage a farm. I
give an illustration from an agricultural
paper : "One man sows a crop of beets. He
doesn't know much about raising, but thinks
he will try it. He get barely enough to pay
for his labor, and concludes that it doesn't
pay to raise beets. Another man knows all
mm . m W
about raising them. Me has not nimseix
tried every variety, nor every kind of man
ure and culture; but he knows what others
have done, and how they have succeeded
Dest. ne ados tneir experience 10 nis own,
and selects the best seeds, sows it at the
proper season the right distance a part, and
covers the proper depth in soil manured and
prepared in the best manner. He does not
stop here, lie begins eariy 10 cultivate,
weeds thoroughly, hoes often and harvests
seventy tons to the acre. Does this pay for
knowing how, and doing his work in the
best manner ? The man who sows onions
without learning the best way, gets the
wrong seed, puts it in ground that is not
suitable for it, sows it at the wrong season,
doesn't sow it thick enough because the seed
cost too much, doesn't sow it evenly because
he cannot afford to buy a seed drill, covers
it unevenly and his crop is a failure. The
man who has taken the trouble to find out
how to raise onions, and what kind to sow,
raises one thousand bushels per acre. So it
pays in farming to know what to do and
how to do it, and to make the best use ot
the experience of others. And what is true
of onions and beets is true in a greater or
less degree of all other kinds of farm pro
duce. How to Make Fanning Pay.
Kaise corn and grasses. Feed them to
your stock, t-ave the manure for your own
land, and thus you will make a handsome
profit off your stock, and at the same time
add to the value of your lands. Fine pork,
beef, mutton and wool, horses and mules,
always command fair prices. Cotton does
not pay except as a surplus crop, and then
it must be grown at less expense than is
usually put upon it. But with wheat, corn,
hay, peas and oats, and 'stock to fatten,
there will be a sure road to independence

THE RISING SUN.
"Conquer by this Sign."
So thought Constantine when he became a con
vert, because a "Jfagan refused to absolve him
from the guilt of his crimes, and the "christian"
readily agreed, and specially manufactured for him
a "siajn by wnich ne was to "conquer.
Henry the VIII in turn rejected Constantine's
specialty and became the "defender of the new
Faith" with his six wives, one only outliving him.
Seven hundred years before Constantine lived
Solomon, who built a Temple with out-houses,
court, &c, on 20 acres of ground, 700 wives. 300
ditto a good sized population to the acre. The
Queen of Sheba admired his wisdom much more
than his magnificence, and significantly remarked
that "tne naif of ins greatness had not been told
her :" but after he declared that "all is vanity"
built high places for the worship of heathen deities
and died. .Napoleon Bonaparte, on his narrow
escape from the inflowing tide of the Red Sea,
while passing through on the spot where Pharaoh
and his horse perished, exclaimed : "If I had
perished here like Pharaoh, whai a text I would
have furnished Orthodoxy" and C. S. Holton to

three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to have the bile and other impurities

purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
ried through the veins to all parts of the system.
and in trying to escape through the pores of the

color. 1 he stomach becomes diseased, and Dj'spep

Merrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable, discovery
for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one
to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes
through it, as long as there is an excess of bile ;
and the enect of even a few doses upon yellow com
plexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish
all who try it they being the first symptoms to
disappear. The cure of all bilious diseases and
Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatine
in accordance with directions. Headache is gener

A GOOD REMEDY.
Giles' Liniment Iodide Amonia.
Medford, Mass., Sept. 18, 1877.
Mb. Giles Dear Sir: I have used your Iodide
Ammonia Liniment and find it the best remedy I
ever used. For a sprain or callous there is nothing
equal to it. My wife sprained her ankle last Sat
urday evening ; I used the Liniment as per direc
tions ; lle second application was a perfect cure.
Sonib of my friends started last night for Johnson
county, Kentucky ; they have taken several bottles
with them. 1 have used it on my horses and it
works like a charm. I am going to Kentucky
next month farming. If you have any works
treating of horses and other animals, please send
me two or three copies, and oblige yours respect
fully, Chas. W. Forbush.
Sold by all Druggists. Trial size 25 cents. Send
for pamphlet to DR. GILES,

Palace Organs I
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
These Organs, which many of the most eminent
critics have pronounced and which we claim to
be unequaled as regards general quality of tono,
variety, originality and effectiveness of solo-tones,
elegance of external design, solidity of workman
ship and excellence of finish, have been recently
reduced in price, and will be sold at a minimum
margin of profit to the trade, making them by far
the most desirable Organs to gain control of that
are now in the market.
THE PALACE ORGAN
Is, without question,
THE COMING OH G A X,
Manufactured by the LORING & BLAKE OR
GAN COMPANY at Worcester, Mass.
Agents Wanted. Territory is being taken
rapidly in North and South Carolina. There is
still room for more. Make early application for
prices and territory.
All letters cheerfully answered and Catalog
furnished.
