ENSILAGE. Read before the Farmer's Club of the American Institute. Born and bred upon the farm, I now find, like others, after many years of professional business labor, occupa tion for a portion of my time, with recreation and health, in agriculture. I am glad to avail myself of the courtesy of the Farmers' Club to state my ex perience in ensilage, or preserving food for cattle in a green state. So deeply convinced am I, from experience, of the importance of this subject to American farmers that I shall make no apology for urging it upon their immediate attention, through this Club. I have practiced this system for three years; have applied it to com mon fodder corn, red clover, pearl millet, West India millet or Guinea corn, green rye, green oats, and mixed grasses in which clover predominated, with entire success in every case. The last year I preserved about one hun dred tons. I have never lost any food whatever thus preserved ; but during the whole experiment it has been per fectly preserved and better than when fed fresh and green from the field. It is eaten up eagerly and clean, leaf and stalk, without any loss whatever, and stock thus fed exhibit the highest con dition of health and thrift. For milch cows, to which I have mainly fed it, it surpasses any other food I have ever tried. It increases the quantity of milk much beyond dried food, and the quality is better than that produced from the same fodder when fed fresh and green from the field. This is owing, I think, to the fact that it does not scour or bloat the ani mals, while it retains its natural juices it nil nutritious qualities in the most digestible form. The process is not unlike that by which sauerkraut is made, and so much is food thus pre served improved, especially for milch cows, that I think no one who under stands the process and has facilities for practicing it would, after trial, con tinue the present method of soiling or feeding fodder crops fresh cut from the field. The process is exceedingly sim ple and [easily practiced. The condi tions of success are these : First. —The preserving-pits, or re ceptacles, must be wholly air-tight, so that when sealed the air cannot come in contact with the food to be pre served. Second. —The pits must be of such form and dimensions as will best facil itate the settling and compacting of the food into a solid mass; and when opened for feeding, will expose as small a part of the surface to the at mosphere as practicable. Third. —The fodder must be cut green, when in the best condition, or in bloom, passed immediately through the cutting machine, to reduce it to uniform short lengths of not more than one inch, and must at once be de posited and trodden firmly into the pit, sufficient salt being used to render it palatable, but no more. As fermen tation—which will commence at once proceeds and the mass settles, the cutting and treading in of fresh fodder must be continued from day to day, after an interval of about thirty-six hours, until the pit is filled anu set tling has neariy ceased. Fourth. —The pit, as soon as com pletely filled and settling has ceased, must be securely sealed, to exclude the air wholly and arrest fermentation, and must be kept so sealed until opened for use. At the risk of pro lixity, I will state with more detail my own practice. THS PRESERVING PITS. I make my pits of hard brick, with 12-inch perpendicular walls, well laid in cement, with smooth joints. If the ground is sandy or gravelly, the out side of the walls next the earth is eOTered with a coat of cement, or the walls are filled in behind with clay or clayey earth, to prevent the passage of the air through them. The bottoms are also laid with brick upon the flat in cement. The pits are made from eight to ten feet wide, from sixteen to twenty feet long, and about fifteen feet deep. The deeper the pits the more they will contain in proportion to measurement, owing to greater density of the contents from the weight of the mass above. In all cases where practicable, pits should be made at least twenty feet deep. The walls are made so smooth upon their inner sides as to offer no obstacle to the settling or compacting of the food by fraction of the sides. These pits are made either open at the top and covered with a roof, or arched over under ground, with two necks to such coming up to within one foot of the surface of the ground, through which they are filled, and the necks then sealed with earth. This last con struction I have found most conveni ent in connection with basement stables, to which the food is carried or wheeled by a passage from the pits through the foundation-walls of the stable. In this construction I make one pit parallel with this foundation wall, and from the side of this pit most distant from the stable. Other pits are made at right angles with and connecting with this by doorways, in such a manner that, after the contents of this first or entrance-pit is fed out, each of the other row of pits may be opened, one pit at a time, and only the surface of the food at the end of the one pit which is being fed will at any time be exposed to the air, until the whole is fed out; and this with out opening or disturbing the necks of the pits above, which remain sealed. Any other form or construction of pits which answers the conditions may be used, such as pits or wells open only at the top, the food being put in and taken out through the top only. Such pits would have one ad vantage; that successive croppings might be put in the same pit, one above the other, each being sealed with a layer of earth when put in. Where sufficent depth cannot be got above water, pits may be made partly above and partly below the surface, the earth excavated being used to make a broad and firm embankment around them to their tops. TILLING THI PITS. The green fodder is drawn from the field as fast as cut, and may be cut in any weather except during rain. Af ter rnnning through the cutting-ma chine, it is deposited and trodden into the pit firmly, until the pit is full. The doorway at the end of this pit, having already been closed, by placing boards across it upon the inside, as the filling progressed, is now sealed tightly by placing other boards, prop erly fastened, across it, upon the out side of the jama, and filling the space between the jams with well-compacted earth, so that no air can pass into the pit through this doorway. The outer covers are then placed temporarily upon the necks of this pit above, and covered over with earth to the level of the ground above. A second and, if the cutting force be large enough, a third pit may then be filled, sealed, and covered like the first. After the pit has been closed about thirty-six hours, the necks must be un covered and opened. The contents will be found very warm and thorough ly wilted, and, upon being novv.troddcn down, will occupy less than one-hal and, if clover, not more than one-fourth of the pit. The pit should then be filled again, trodden firmly, and covered again temporarily as before. Each pit should now be opened and refilled as before at intervals of from twenty-four to thirty hours, the con tents at each time being trodden down as firmly and evenly as possible ; and this should be continued until settling nearly or quite ceases and the pits are full. • Salt should be sprinkled occa sionally over the fodder while the pits are being filled. The pits, being now full and settling having nearly or quite ceased, must be immediately and thoroughly sealed over the whole top surface of"the fodder, by a well-com pacted layer of clean earth, not less than six inches thick. This covering of earth should be af terward examined at least twice, at intervals of a week or teu days, and any cracks that appear be closed with fresh earth. A covering of straw or hay, not more than two inches thick, may be laid over the fodder before the earth covering is applied; but this is imma terial, other than as a matter of neat ness. In feeding, the fodder should be cut down, and fed from one end of the pit in sectionsof convenient width, the earth being first removed from each section. If open pits are used, a layer of bay or straw may be put over the pits when filled and scaled, to protect the con tents from frost in winter, if necessary. I have not found any pressure or weight upon the fodder, other than the earth covering, required. If addi tional weight is desired, a heavier cov ering of earth will accomplish this, and make the sealing at the same time more perfect. MIXING FODDEB IN THE PITS. Much advantage will be gained by mixing clover and grass in which clover predominates in the same pit, through fodder-corn, millet, or sorghum The clover becomes, after the first fer mentation, a putty-like mass, which fills the interstices in coarser and more fibrous fodder, and thus makes the whole much more compact and weigh ty than it would otherwise be, while it improves the quantity of the food. Among all our products in the Northern States, there are none which will be more enhanced in value by this system than red clover. By it this is rendered the most profitable and most easily preserved, without detriment, of all our grasses. A well, built up with an eight-inch brick wall in cement, twelve feet in diameter, thirty feet deep, with a roof, windlass, and buckets, will preserve perfectly and deliver for use the whole clover product of more than twenly acres of fertile laud I have recently put the fairly heavy clover trom sixteen acres into a space of twenty-four feet long, thirteen feet wide and ten feet deep. But the bene fit of this system, when applied throughout the country in preserving fodder-corn, sorghum and the large millets, will be incalculable. These crops, hitherto the most difficult, un certain and expensive to cure and pre serve, became the surest, easiest, and least expensive in these respects, while they are among the richest and milk and-butter producing foods know" By this system the whole southern portion of our country, where the tame grasses are not grown, is at once fur nished with a means everywhere ap plicable and easily practicable, by which their cattle may be fed and fattened in winter and summer, as well and nearly or quite as cheaply as where tame grasses abound. Who shall say bow important an agency corn, sorghum, and clover wells and pits, which will be practically everlast ing and will save two-thirds the labor and all the waste in keeping and pre serving these crops, too safely to re quire insurance and in one-twentieth of the present space, may not yet have in making this land of liberty, union, and progress also a land flowing with milk and honey, for this and future generations. COVINGTON, IOWA, THREAT ENED. In several instances thriving towns on the treacherous banks of the Mis sissippi and the Missouri rivers have been wiped out by the erosion of the river banks. Covington, lowa, ac cording to the Sioux City Journal, is another doomed city. It stands on a bend of the Missouri river, where the banks are being gradually eaten away. Many feet of fast flowing water now sweep over the spot where the court house stood a year ago. Recently the current set in shore and took off a strip of land thirty feet wide in a few hours. No invasions were made for another week, when another slice was cut off. Then about half a dozen buildings were moved back about thirty feet, and the next day the land on which they had stood was all gone. The citizens have tried to moor trees and logs to the bank in the hope of forming a barrier for the flood, but the current is so swift and the water so deep that these attempts have failed. To give an idea of what the town of Covington has suffered in the past five years, the case of the ferry bouse and the principal hotel may be instanced. Two years ago there were six hundred and sixty feet of land between the building and the river bank; now you can toss a stone out of the hotel win dow into the river, and buildings are now being put on rollers for removal. The Pennsylvania Railroad is hav ing freight cars built at the rate of twenty per day. Judging from late reports, practic ing law in Kentucky must be only second in excitement to preaching in the Cannibal Islands. One of the best remedies for sunburn especially when there is a tendency to puffing up of the skin or blistering, is a mixture of lime water and sweet oil. Bathe the affected parts frequently, and the heat and soreness will soon be subdued. tKfe* Ciii**n tWutl*v, P»., 8, 1880. MRS. LYDIA E. PINKHAM. OF LYNN, IWAS3. DISCOVERER OP LYDIA E.

They are the result of years of careful study and practical ex periment, and are the most effectual rem edy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. AYEK'S PILI-S arc specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimi lativo processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use bv physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative mediciue. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be admin istered to children with perfect safety. AYER'S P11.1.9 are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach and lireath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. "While gentle in their action, these PILLS are the most thorough and searching cathar tic that, can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stimu late the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Uen'l Tkt. and Pass'gr AtrU Chicago, lUa "7 WHY DOES Bwoman's health often break down at an early age? Put a man at the wt sh-tnb, lot him t t heated from the hot suds until every pore is opened; then let him stand o ,r er the filthy Meam that comes from scalding and boiling clothes, that are full of sweat and exhalations from the nkin and hia health too would break down before long; ami yet this mot terrible ordeal it what A WOMAN has to go through with on wash-day; and. besides, with her clothing wet from pcrrpirinp a the hot work, she has to risk her lffe by going out in the air to hang up the clothe*. Even those not at work are in the unhealthy atmosphere; its smell, so apparent to visitors, shew ing that it finds its way through the house,—the family, however, often becoming so accus tomed to the peculiar odor from its own wash as not to notice it. These facts readily ex ninin why so many women suffer with colds, rheumatism, weak nerves, or neuralgia, and LOOK OLD while vet younir in years, and physicians and boards of health cannot draw attention too Wrongly to the injurious effects of the usual way of washing, with its ncccssary rteam and scalding or boiling to get the clothes pure and sweet-smelling, especially as it is without doubt often the direct cause of those dreadful diseases, diphtheria, consumption, and typhoid fever. Fortunately this trouble can be avoided; scalding, boiling, steam and all disagreeable gmell from the wash completely done away with; clothes made sweet and beautifully white; from the saving in fuk the vxuh done at lets cost than ere n when home-made soap u u. turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) so aa to get the dirty suds out. Then put through blue-water, and on the line, without scalding or boiling a tingle piece. Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way. It is important not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tca-kettlo will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap. Just Think What You will Save by this Easy Way of Washing ! No Wash-boiler! No Steam! No Smell of Suds through the House! It has the remarkable Property of keeping the Dish-C loth, Wash-Hag and Sponge always Sweet, and of Washing Freely in Hard Water. -H SOLD BY GROCERS i-*- Get a Cake and Try it for Yourself next Wash-Day.

Are now putting on the market a Plow that is as much superior to any Plow heretofore made as the Plows of the post lew years have been superior to those made hull a century ago. It combines all the excellencies of any Plow In use. It obviates ifll the objections made to any other Plow. In addition It embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which we have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Beam,Clevls, Jointer Standard and Wheel Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process for whl<% we have also obtained an cxcluslvo Patent. It will bo called THE SYRACUSE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than our present styles. A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or dinary way, lull rigged, retails for twenty-two dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six teen to nineteen dollars. The price of our new Plow will bo but Seventeen Dollars, nnd it will be the cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board will outwear three of tho very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold boards. It will scour In soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this Plow will be Introduced a corru. gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on wldcll we have also obtained a Patent, and which la also a great Improvement, both as regards •trenglh and wear. The Jointer can be shifted so as to take more or less land, and also more or less pitch, and It can always be kept on a line with the Plow. The wheel will run under the beam or one Side of It as desired, and always kept In lino. The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Full Plowing, and cLso for two or three horses. The handles can be adjusted to accommo date a man or boy, on the same Plow. It Is a perfect Plow. Wooden beams are going out of use because they shrink, swell and warp, and never run two seasons alike. Iron beams are too heavy. Malleable beams become demoralized and •end, which Is much worse than to break. A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It b three times as strong and very much lighter than any other style. When i t>c say a Mold board Is chilled, tho farmers know It Is so. We do not palm off on them a composition Of various metals and call it chilled mctaL We want agents lor this new Plow In every town In this State. We can give but a very small discount to them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight. We propose to plnce tills Plow In the hands of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture us possible. It will be the bent Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall also be tho eheapetU Persons therefore who are not willing to act as agents on the principle that "a nimble six pence Is better than a dow shilling," need uot apply for an agency. No Plows on c< irumlsslon. All sales absolute. t*~ This Ls the only Steel Chilled Plow In the World. Steel costs several times more than Iron. But tills Plow, fidl rigged, by giving small discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow ever made. It la cheaper than any other Plow now made would be at live dollars and a half. Where there are no agents we will, on ro te lpt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any Kallroad station In the State and pay tho freight. Address, 6YRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO. Syracuse, N.
