Filling the Silo.
If the corn is to be cut before being
filled into silo, it is unloaded ou the
fodder-cutter and run through the cut
ter, after which the carrier elevates it
to the silo windows and delivers it in
to the eilo. The length of cutting
practiced differs somewhat with dif
ferent farmers, and nccording to vari
ety of corn to be siloed. The general
practiced is to cut the corn iu one
half to one inch lengths: a few cut iu
two inch lengths. The corn will pack
better in the silo tho hner it is cut,
aud cattle will eat the larger varieties
cleaner, if cut luto men lengths or
less. On the other hand, it is pos
sible that fine cutting implies larger
losses through fermentations in the
silo; fine cut silage may, furthermore,
not keep as long as silage cut longer
after having been taken out of the
silo. There is, however, not sufficient
experimental evidence at hand to es
tablish either of these points: tho ma
jority of farmers filling silos, at any
rate, practice cutting corn nno for the
eilo.
Tho carrier should deliver the corn
as nearly in the middle of the silo as
possible; by means of a chute at
tached to the carrier the corn may be
delivered to any part of the eilo de
sired, and the labor of distributing
and leveling the corn thus facilitated.
If the corn is siloed "ears aud all," it
is necessary to keep a man or boy in
the silo while it is being filled, to
level the surface and tramp down the
sides and corners; if left to itself, the
heavier pieces of ears will be thrown
farthest away and the light leaves and
tops will all come nearest the dis
charge; as a result, the corn will not
settle evenly, and the feeding value of
different layers of silago will differ
greatly. To assist in the distribution
of the corn it is recommended to hang
a pyramidal box in front nnd bolow
the top of the Jcarrier; this may be
made about three feet square at the
base and tapering to a point, at which
a rope is attached for hanging to raf
ters. The descending mass of cnt
corn will utrike the top of thq box cad
be divided so as to distribute to all
parts of the silo. Another simple de
vise is to place a board vertically, or
nearly so, in front of the top of the
carrier, against which the corn will
strike. E. W. Woll's Book on Silage.

Commission men handle large quanti
ties of butter in certain ways. Some
prefer their shipments in crates hold
ing eight five-pound jars, while others
will not handle the crated butter at
all. It is never economy to ship but
ter in jars unless these are crated, as
the freight or express charges aro very
greatly augmented in the first case.
Twenty-five pounds of butter packed
in a tub may be sent for little more
than half the expense of the same
amount in jars. It is better if one
ships butter regularly in cood Quan
tities, to buy the tubs in largo num
bers. In some cases the outside and
inside of the covers are roueh and un
tidy looking, the covers not fitting as
they should at all, but there are tubs
on the market almost as smooth both
outside and in as though made from
pressed paper instead of wood.
It is always well to line a butter tub
with parchment paper. This is not
so difficult a matter as it it might seem
at first attempt. The paper should
first be wet, and then laid npon 1
smooth board kept for this purpose.
a wouueu roiier sometuins like a
pastry rolling pin, which is about an

then used to roll the paper from the
board. This motion should be in the
direction of right to kit. A littlo
practice will enable one to do it neatly
ana ciemy. When tlie paper is on the
pin, place in the tnb and unroll it, un
rolling it to the left. It will take but
a few moments to line a tub and then
the butter will have no chance to taste
of the wood, as it will be apt to do if
it is packed directly into the unlined
tub. A circle of tho paper should
cover the bottom of the tub. Neat
ness in all its branches is necessary in
all dairying, but some good bntter is
spoiled by the manner of packing,
while butter that is not actually prime
often brings a fair price if pnt uji in a
neat looking package. American Agri
culturist. Out-of-Uoor Ccllers.
Every farmer who grows iargo quan
tities of potutoes, roots or fruits and
expects to store them throngh the
winter should build one or more out-of-door
cellars. By thip we do not
mean the pits in which farmers often
store potatoes; but veritable cellars,
roofed over and yet banked np so that
they will be impervious to frost, and
with a double door at the entrance so
that at any time the vegetables can
be examined. Such cellars are often
lighted with windows on their sunny
side, with of conrso two windo w frames
and duplicate glass. It is better to
fit in these windows while the earthen
protection of tho cellar is built up, af
terwards packing the soil at the sido
of the frames so as to leave no ingress
for air. In most cases a small stove is
put ia so as to furnish heat if there is
danger that the temperature will get
below tho freezing point.
If one SHch ont-of-door cellar is
built near the house it will be a greot
convenience for keeping milk and for
doing such work as churning, nnd
sometimes washing in summer time.
Such a cellar needs to be floored, and
onght to have more liftht than the out-of-door
cellars used for storing pota
toes aud other vegetables. But as it
is very unhealthful to hoo over decay
ing potatoes or over-stored bcots, tur
nips and cabbage, these should also
be kept in a cellar near enough to the
house to be easily reached. duriDg
storms and wintry weather. By mak-
ing a number of these out-of-door eel
urs, the dwelling may be sot try
nigner from the ground and divided
off into rooms, one of which should
contain the heating apparatus for the
whole house. Furnace hoat, if it is
economized, as it may bo, is far less
expensive than it is to heat each room
by stoves, which are themselves set np
from the floors, and throw most of
what heat they furnish into the uppeo

it up tho chimney. Tho warm air al-

canning up against the out-of-door

entirely level ground. But iu cither
case tlieio should be drainage away
irom ine counr, so that at no timo will
water remain in the bottom or under
the floor. These cellars will make
cool places to work in during hot
weather, aud may yet be kept dry
enough to avoid danger from colds.
One of tho advantages of providing
storago outside the house for fruit
and vegetables is that tho cellar, after
the building is set up ou a higher
foundation, can bo better lighted with
windows, and be made as pleasant to
live in as are the usual first floors of
houses whose sills rest on tho ground,
or on walls by a few inches above it.
American Cultivator.
Tnrnlpa Mako Good Mutton.
The English farmers, says a writer
iu Country Centlemau, feed their
sheep as do no ether nation in tho
world.
It may be a special possibility of the
climate, where the ever-weeping clouds
keep the land moist, so that tho feed
is always suoulent, and which favors
the growth to perfection of the tur
nips ana tne ueets, wnue t lie grass
proverbially sweet aud always

It is a strange thins that we on this
side of the ocean at least some of the
soientifio part of us will insist that
the food has nothing to do with the
quality or flavor of the flesh, or other
products of any animal; at least this
is peremptorily alleged in regard to
butter- of cows, and this is a similar
product iu any animal to the fat in
flesh, and is derived directly from, and
is flavored by the food.
As the turuipy flavor and odor of
the English mutton come from tho
feed and the milk and butter are also
flavored by this root it must be ad
mitted that the succulence of the Eng
lish mutton chop is due to tbe special
feeding of the sheep. But whatever
may be the cause of this excellence of
the English mutton, it is something
lor us to study and make a practical
part of our sheep keeping, if we would
secure the best results from our work.
Boot culture is the very key to success
of English agriculture.
The British farmer is apt to call the
sheep "the reut payer;" and as the
rent is a far larger matter to him thau
the whole interest on the value of an
average American farm, this is aaying
much of the wool bearer, and the
sweet, tender, juicy mutton sheep. In
England the root crop is the cleaning
crop for the land, and by its feeding it
is tho main enricher of the soil. We.
here, on this side of the ocean, spend
several times as much for commercial
fertilizers as tho British farmer does.

A correspondent of Nature, who is

Then plunge tho heated end in a uail

held by the hand becomes so hot that
it is impossible to retain it in the

the correspondent to bo familiar to

to some repellent action which they
