The wife of (leu. Geo. 1'. Horns, living in
wealth and comfort at the family mansion on
King's Highway and Olive street, lit St. Louis,
was found dead lu her house on Sunday morn
ing by members of the household. The night
before Russell Brown, a grandson, visited the
house and late in the evening was heard to
say, "(jraudma, come in here a minute before
you go to bed, I want to talk with you." The
old lady was l.iund dead in the room to which
she was invited by the young man. There
were finger-marks on the throat and evidences
of a struggle. Drown was missing, and so was
artof Untold lady's jewelry, next morning,
but was caitured at nignt. The young man,
it appears, had expectations ot inheriting a
part of the old ludy's property whose death
he thus hastened.
Later accounts show that young Drown was
accomjiauied to the Horns mansion by a young
man, a barkeeper, named Patrick MclJIew.
That the two bad been on a siree and getting
out ol money, planned the robbery ot the old
lady, intending only to take htr watch and
jewels. In doing so they had thrown her
down, and to jirevcnl her outcries, choked her,
leaving her, as they sujtposed, in an insensi
ble condition, and none .seemed mole aston
ished next morning thmi both were to learn
that the old lady wan dead. Drown made no
attempt to avoid arrest, or to deny what he had
done. Mctilew lied to Chicago where be was
arrested on Monday. He, too, made no at
leoi)t to deny the robbery or the part he took
in it.

in any weather, put away without drying, an.
all the succulent and nutritious juices pre
served.
The subject was elaborately considered ut a
meeting of several hundred Mew York and
New England farmers last week in New York
City, the jiioeeeilings bt u:g n jiorled in lln-city
p'i)crs, covering half a dozen of columns. We
venture, from the numerous sjiceches there
Bade, to cull a few extracts:
.Mr. Potter gave the results of bis exieri
nice in I'lesciviug corn, rye, the gras.-es, sor
hum, and, in fact, everything that can be
ra'sed in this stale. He thought that red clover
was, in most resjiects, the best crop fur en.-i
!erlv preserved by ensilage, a piece about six
inches cube would be a good ration for a cow,
because il would be socomjmct. He believed
that crops would keej) in tlie jiits or silos ten
veins as good as the day they were cut. He
had raised sorghum for three years, and found
it a better crop thiiu corn. It would produce
more milk and flesh to the acre than could be
got from corn, hut would exhaust the soil
more. In a favorable season he could net a
I reify good second crop. He found that sor
idiuin took a little longer than corn to mature.
Mr. Albert Deed, of Warwick, K. I., said he
clover, sorghum and rye, ol ull oi which be
r.r...r.ti.il u.ttioiti.u !!. lt.nl uutiv.fb.il huiwidl
f (he enormous value of ensilage by weigh-
ing his cows und their food ami iirnducts with
and without ensilage. He jireseuled statistical
tables showing that tlie same cows, with eusi
lage food, would thrive und give better milk
and more of It. He showed a sample of sweet,
yellow butter, w hich he said was produced
from the milk of a cow whose butter was
white and insipid when she fed on other food.
In one cow be increased the quantity ot milk
two jiounils a day, and the butter was richer
than bctorc. He estimated thai the cows ate
about fifty pouu.U each of ensilage fodder per
day. His statistics showed rugular decrease
of llesli and loss of milk when ensilage food
was withdrawn. He had let his sorghum go
to seed bctorc cutting it and upon taking it
out of the ensilage jiit he found it perfectly
sweet, lie let his cuttle eat much ol the com-
lahc food as they would. When eat uig either
ensilage or cuied food he allowed his cows six
quarts of bran a day.
"Did you notice any dill'erence in the quan
tity ot water that the cows drank?" was
asked.
"Oh, a material difference," said Mr. Heed.
"Sometimes they would not drink ut all. The
food was so moist witii tlie natural juices that
they would not need water. 1 placed it where
they could get it cotivcniently.aud even warmed
it tor them, out they would not take mucii oi
it when they wire feeding on this ensilage
fooik"
Mr. W. M. White, ol New York, said he
had pliiiitcit corn with drills 111 rows thir
ty-two inches apart, anil got eleven tons ana
'.'00 pounds to the acre. He had tried sowing
broadcast and only got half as much as by
drilling. He cut some of his corn three-eighths
ot an inch long and put it in his silo. Alter
that he had cut some double that leugth. The
corn that was cut later was not so satislatory
in feeding. The corn that was sowed lstest
was most satisfactory when taken from the
silo. That winch was older the cattle did not
like so well, lie approved of cutting the corn
in a comparatively greeu state for ensilage.
He managed to stow four tons nu hour from
the field to tlie ensilage pit very comfortably.
He had fed as much as a huudren pounds a
day for one ration, but eighty pcuiuls was bet
ter, lu one case an animal gained a hundred
pounds in weight in forty-two days. He pro
posed to try a sixty-pound ration.
Mr. J. A. lieges, of St. Louis, sj)oke of the
necessity of machinery for cutting the heavy
stalks ol corn and sorghum, lie had no
doubt American invention could supply the
demand for new implements.
Mr. Wright, ot New York, described his
four silos. They were 12 by 40 feet and
10 feet deep. They held about 200 tonn,
and he had tilled them in two days, using
10 men and G two-horse teams, costing him
from 30 to :t5 cents a ton for cutting and put
ting the crop in the silo. The crop was corn
planted about 112 Inches apart. He got about
:150 tons out of 40 acres, and planted with drills
run by horse power. Alter he got the crop in
the pit he had the boys tramp it down, and
then put on 100 pounds to the square toot. He
showed a sample that had kept perfectly well.
"Do the cattle like it?" inquired a delegate.
"Yes, sir," said Mr. Wright, "I have 150
cows and they will take all they can get"
"Do you feed it on the same day you take
it from the silo?" was asked.
"I do, sir. It is my experience that It is best
to use it on the same day."
"It is mine that it is best to feed it the day
alter," said the chairman.
Mr. Wrirbt in discusiine the question oi
cost of getting in the cmn to the silos, said
that would depend much on the distance of
the silos from the field. Mr. rorwr saia mni
as the green clover used for ensilage. One
great advantage was that a crop could be
gathered in the ram and put Into the ensilage
jut wei without injury.
Chairman Morris said that ensilage was in
fact a very simple thing, but farmers seemed
to think there was something mysterious about
it because the words "ensilage" and "silos"
were now to them. It wis in fact a very sini-
ple thing. He had made his silos by digging
trenches 11 feel deep, 7 w ide at the bottom,
and eight leet wide at the ton. He did not
line them at all. The water did not come in.
When he hail the pit filled with a crop he put
a covering of felt on it and covered it w ith
dirt as a weight. He used salt first to put on
the crop as it went into the pit, but be found
that was unnecessary. The soil was marly
clay. He did not think there was any. necessi
ty for building a wall of stone und cementing
pits, as some did. He found his trenches to
answer all purposes, and should build more
in that way. As for brick walls, he said every
body knew they could not be made air tightor
water tight. He did not find that the rain jien
eiraied bis covering of earth and felt. He
found nodilliculty in moving his cutter from
one silo to another. The average shrinkage
was one third the bulk-
