Bulletin No. mix., just issued by the
Ontario Bureau_ of Industries, thus treats of
"The Sib ° and Corn Ensilage";
The Soil and its Preparation -Light soils
are preferred, such as sandy loams or clay
loams well drained. - Heavy clays should be
avoided. The preparation is controllnd
partly by the nature of the preceding crop.
Many claim best results by plowing under
clover or grass sod, and applying manure in
spring; others prefer to turn over stubble
in fall, apply manure in winter, and give
shallow but thorough cultivation in spring.
The main points, however, emphaeized by
all are, to have n comparatively light soil,
well drained, thoroughly well cultivated
and riady manured.
Varieties of Corn -The corns most fre-
quently mentioned as being used are the
Mammoth Southern Sweet (M.S.S.) and the
Red Cob Ensilage. These are Southeru
varieties, and in most parts of the province)
make a large growth, but only in the most
favored sections do they mature sufficient-
ly to produce the best sweet ensilage.
In; the northern sections, where
the growing season is comparatively
short, they are being replaced with earlier
'varieties. Even in the south, along the
lakes, it is by many considered advisable tn
mix with the M.S.S. or Red Cob some of
the earlier varieties, sowing them in alter-
nate rows or sections, so that to the stalk
and. leaf of the. late variety may be added
the cob of the early kind, and thereby
sweeter ensilage be obtained. As to what
earlier varieties shall be used great differ-
ence of opinion exists, but those most fre-
quently recommended are Longfellow,
Pearce's Prolific and Compton's Early
(flints adapted to the east and north),
Learning and Pride of the North (dents
adapted to the central lake counties). The
variety or varieties to be raised will have
to be decided by each grower according to
his locality, the climate and the situation
of his land. All agree that the most valu-
able sweet ensilage can be obtained only
from corn fairly well matured. The varie-
ties to be used must after BA be left for the
moat part to the wise selection of the
grower.
Sowing the Corn -The sowing or plant-
ing season of 1891 extended from May 10
to June In, according to locality, but most
of the corn was in the ground -before May
!A. The general opinion is that it is bet-
ter to risk the early than the late fronts.
In nearly every case the corn was drilled
in; hills were used in a few cases; none
was broadcasted. The drills were gener-
ally three feet to three feet six. inches
apart, and the plants from six to nine
inches apart in the rows. From 15 to 25
lb. of seed will be sufficient fen an are if
uniformly distributed. ,sMoat of the s6w-
ing is done by ordinary seed drill, the un
required spouts being closed, but some of
the most careful corn raisers adopt methods
of hand -sowing or planting to ensure per-
fect distribution and to prevent close grow-
ing.
Cultivation During Growth -As soon as
the corn shows itself in distinct lines har-
row once, and if plants are a little too close,
harrow a second time across the rows.
When the plants are about six inches high
start cultivating once a week with horse-.
hoe, beginning close to the plants, and as
the growth- continues keep a little further"
from he plants and a little shallower.
So continue until the corn ceases to grow,
or until the process becomes inconvenient.
The hand hoe should at the same time be
constantly. in use, to clean out between the
stalks and to cut out extra plants. All
corn -growers emphasize the great advan-
tage of thorough cultivation during growth
and the keeping of the plants well thinned
Out, thereby enabling the stalks to produce
and mature ears, and also accomplishing
one of the great benefits of corn -growing,
namely, the cleaning of the land.
Harvesting -To produce sweet ensilage
of the greatest feeding value, cutting
should be done when the glazing of the
seed has begun, but the corn should be in
the silo before being frozen. The time for
cutting is for most sections between the
middle and the end ot September, but will,
of course, vary from year to year. Great
importance is attached to this point of
having well matured ears of corn upon the
stalks before cutting, so that the ensilage
will consist of a mixture of stalk, leaf and
grain. The general practice of the best
growers in the metthod ot cutting is to use
sickles or corn -kook's. If well matured the
corn may be cut, at once placed upon low
waggons or trucks, drawn to the straw cut-
ter, cut into one inch lengths and trans-
ferred to the silo by carriers attached to
the cutter. The number of men employed
and the division of labor must he decided
by the circumstances. On some farms ten
or a dozen men are employed at once, or
several, farmers unite their forces ; on
others,. where there is only one silo and
help is limited, the wort has to be carried
on mere slowly. Unless the corn is imma-
ture wilting is unnecessary. Out the corn
into ineh lengths, using a strong straw
cater, and till the silo at one shit t if most
convenient. The most important point to
be observed in filling the sat) is to keep the
cut leaves and stalks well mixed, and to
tramp thuroughly the corners and edges.
Leave the ensilage heaped in the center, se
that when settling the pressure will be to-
wards the walls, and the ensilage will final-
ly become almost level. If not well tramp-
ed it will settle away from the walls and
spoil. If nocessaey hire an extra man to
tramp ; it will pay. Insist on having the
outside well packed, and continue this sev-
eral days after the silo is tilled and while
settling, then cover with cut straw or
marsh hay well packed dome and close up
silo tight until required. It is best not to
se -open the silo for feeding for a few
weeks.
The Silo- With a few exceptions the
Kilos of Ontario have been built in the corn -
of the barns, sometimes utilizing the
root. cellaas in the basement as the lower
part. The silo should be from 16 to 25 it.
high, and should be built to withstand en-
ormous pressure. The main features of
tried sitoe which have been built in ordi-
nary farm barns are as follows : Upon a
substa.nti d, stone foundation are laid sound
sills Wilt) inch, firmly hi -Wedded in the
foundation or secured to it by iron rods
firmly bolted down. The simile should be
2x10 inch, set 12 inches apart, mortised
into siils. Leave the two studs 18 inches
apart where doors are to be placed. Secure
the plates and rafters firmly, so that there
will be ne necessity tor iron rods to prevent
or overcome spreading. Board up
the outaide with one layer ot
inch lumber, battening the joints.
On the inside first place a layer
ef inch lumber, pine or hemlock, which
need not be planed ; over that one, or
better, twe layers of tarred paper; over the
tarred paper a layer ot dressed inch lumber
runnin4 np and down, whieh should be
tongued and grooved or jointed. Into the
corners should be fitted boards with bevelled
edges, the space behind packed with saw-
dust or grout. Over the entire smooth and
perfectly air -tight surface of the interior
thus obtained apply one or two coats of lin-
seed oil or el hot coal tar and resin (one gal.
coal ta.r to three lbs. resin). The floor may
he made of cement or hard -packed clay well
drained, and should be made level or a
httle hiehar 4e the center. -;;;Jorl Lne toor
spread, a num out straw before putting in
corn. No rough stone should be left ex-
posed, but any foundation above the fioor
ahould aLse be oovered.with sheeting. The
walls should be left hollow. The doorway
is made by Gutting down from plate to sill
between the two studs, left lg in. apart,
hanging close -fitting doors on the outside
to close this opening, each door being about
4 ft. long. As the silo is filled the inner
wall is boarded up tight, the door closed,
and the space between filled with sawdust.
If the doors for removing ensilage are not
conveniently placed for filling, a small door
will be necessary situated according to re-
quirements. Ventilate either by roof or
gable. It the silo is more than 16 ft. long
it is advisable to divide by removable plank
partition. The two most important points
US be observed in construction are to have
it very strong and perfectly air -tight.
Cost and Capacity of Silo -One ton of
ensilage will fill about 50 cub. feet. The
cost of silo depends upon so many circum-
stances that it might be advisable to give a
tew examples:
24x45x27 feet, separate, brick, four rooms.
450 tons, l,600;$mows of barn, 175 tons,
i100; separate building, wooden, 225 tons,
e.260 -e 12x12x20 feet, root house fixed over,
75 tons, $40 ; 17x21x21 feet, bay of bare, 120
tous, $75; 10x12x21 feet, against barn, 05
tons, $85 ; 10x12x22 feet, in corner of barn,
80 tons, 45;$14x10x22 feet, in bank barn,
100 tons, 50;i.412x24x15 feet, in bay of barn,
100 tons, $40.
- It will be seen that when a root cellar or
corner of a bank barn is utilized the cost
may be easily kept under 81 for each ton
capacity. A root cellar alone is not deep
enough for silo.
Feeding of Ensilage -The ensilage should
be removed from the t\ep,‘taking off an en-
tire layer at once, andh4eaving the ensilage
always level, thereby 'l keeping the surface
exposure as small as possible. Forty lb. per
heed is the usual daily ration, supplemented
by cut straw or fray and grain, meal or cake.
See extracts below.
Cost aud Production ot Ensilage -The re-
ports give a return of from 12 to 25 tons of
corn per acre, the average of 'all being 18
tons per acre. There is the greatest varia-
tion in the cost, and some are unable to
give any figures. One puts the cost of his
corn as low as 50 cents per ton; to another,
because of local difficulties, the cost rose to
S-hper ton. But 23 careful estimates give
a variation from 75 cents to $2.25, with an
average ef S1.76 per ton. Under good man-
agement it would appear to be yllite possi-
ble to produce nearly 20 tons per acre, and
put it in the silo at a total cost of a dollar
and a half a ten.
Value of Ensilage -Those who have -fol-
lowed the best methods and have made good
sweet ensilage cannot speak too highly of
its value, many stating its value thus:
Two to two and a half tons of ensilage are
equal for feeding purposes to one of timothy
hay.

-A gentleman who has lately returned
from the Upper Gatineau is authority for the
statement that about 630,000 logs will come
,down the Gatineau this spring, made by the
Meenrs. Gilmour, MacLaren, Rathbun, Ed-
wards and Boyle & McCraken. These
630,000 logs will go, a little better than 400,-
000 standards. In square timber there is
about 100,000 square feet, made principally
by the MaoLaren firm. Boyle and Me-
Craken are bringing down for the Lachine
market 160,000 feet of dimension timber,and
also three small rafts of cedar telegraph
poles also for disfloSal at Lachine. The E.
B. Eddy Manufacturing Company will also
receive some 1,000 cords of pulpwood for
their paper mills at Hull. Mr. J. R. Booth
is the purchaser of the timber limits of the
Moore estate, which were sold during the
month. The Lake Huron limits brought
$18,000; the limit on the north side of the
lake, sixty-six square miles, brought $6,500;
and the Springer township limit, $8,000.
Mr. Killen, of Nepean, bought theNipissing
farm, 687 acres, for $1,100. The limits of
the Timmons estate were put up and with-
drawn, only $28,000 being offered for parcel
1, and $6,900 for parcel No. 2.
-A Walkerville merchant has invented

-In New Providence there is a new and
important industry in the cultivation of sisal
grass, which is equal to Manilla hemp for
making rope and twine. This fibre plant,
which was formerly regarded as a noxious
weed, requires four yearn to reach maturity,
and tens of thousands of acres of theland in
New Providence are now devoted to its
growth. The first big shipment of it will be
niade this year.
How to Begin Beekeeping,
Most intending beekeepers must be self-
taught, and pick up their knowledge in the
hard and costly school of experience. Such
should begin in a moderate way and make
haste slowly. The first thing to do is to get
a manual of beekeeping, and study it thor-
oughly. Buy a single hive, not more, at ,
the start.' Order it from some good repute- '
ble, practical beekeeper, who will furnish a
thrifoy, healthy stock. This sho-uld be
done in the early spring, as a beginner can-
not be expected to know the art ot winter-
ing successfully. Get Italians by all MIMI&
They are gentle, easy to handle, and proba-
bly, all things considered, the best honey -
gatherers we have. Things absolutely
necessary are one or two extra hives for in-
crease, a bee smoker, veil and gloves for pro-
tection, or to inspire confidence, two or three
supers containing sections for comb honey,
and a small supply of artificial comb founda-
tion. The probable cost is as follows: Stock
of bees $6, spare hives about $1 each, bee
smoker from 65c. to $1, or for the very best
2; veil 50c., bee gloves., 50c., if you are
satisfied with a sheepskin gauntlet used by
farmers for handling thistly grain. They
have a thumb and forefinger, and if made of
soft -tanned sheepskin are very pliable.
Their smooth surface makes them non -
irritants to the bees. Avoid rubber gloves.
They sweat the hands, and soon rot from
the action of honey. Supers for honey
sections cost from 65 to 75c. each, with
sections and' starters, and I would advise
beginners to get them ready for use.
The probability of success depends on the
novice. Patience, vigilance, attention to
detail, perseverence and entire self -com-
mand are among the chief essentials. In
the list of things absolutely necessary to
begin with, I have purposely omitted
requisites for extracting honey. These
would greatly increase the cost of a begin-
ning, which should be kept as low as pos-
sible, until the novice finds out by a sea-
son's trial, whether he or she is likely to
prove a success at beekeeping. Extracting
honey requires much judgment and skill,
and is rather a mussy job for a beginner.
It disturbs the bees far -more than working
for comb honey, and should be deferred
until some experience has been gained. I
would strongly advise a novice to adopt
what is known as the Langstroth hive, and
after adopting it to stick to it, at least
until considerable experience is gained.
Having different, kind S of hives is above all
things to be avoided. The frames should
tit all the hives in an aniary, so as to be
readily interchangeable. The Langsteoth
hive comes the nearest to being a standard
hive all over the American continent, and
has naany advantages on that account. The
beginner -should avoid novelties and take
care not to be seized with a fever of hive
invention. I have known 'some lioNice.s
who, before their first season wae half
through, invented a hive to their surroW,
cost and confusion. Apprentices aro sel-
dom successful inventors, aed it is old
navigators, not cabin boys, who make valu-
able discoveries. -Prof. William F. Clark,

A Young Man's Education-.
It is said a young man's education is fin-
ished when he leaves school. There never
was a greater fallacy. In the highest sense,
education begins only when a man leaves
school. In that institution he learns only
the use of the tools. Whether he is to be
educated or not is to he determined, not by
knowing how to use the tools, but whether
by the use of thee tools he makee or mars
his future development arid his life -work.
To get a business education requires young
men to enter the service while in their teens,
and to work up from one etage to another,
until they reach the top. The young man
who attempts to start at twenty-two or
twenty-three, direct from school, cannot
enter at the foot, not only because he does
not know how to perform humble duties,
but because he hes to unlearn so much that

considerably. The house is considerably

-In Blenheim, Kent - county, the other
night, a young bueiness man, who has recent-
ly become the poesessor of a bicycle, dream-
ed so strongly of the machine that he got up
in the small hours of the morning, donned
his pants and vest and started for a practice
up and down Talbot street. How long he
enjoyed the exercise we do not know, but
after a while, by some slight turn, he fell off,
tearing his pants, and awoke. He had no
recollection of getting out of bed or of
mounting the machine, but as he found him-
self alone in the street with torn pants and ;
an overturned bicycle he was forded to the
POPULAR STALLIONS.

ST. BLAISE,
How doth the lovely Diamond Dyes
Improve the days and hours,
By giving profit and surprise,
To those who test their powr's.
How skilfully they do their work
At morning, noon and night,
On dresses, jackets, wraps and suits,
To every one's delight.
They spread their colors like a charm
In shades both dark and gay;
There's nothing 'bout them that can harm,
Or cattle the leaet dismay.
A child can with the greatest ease
These lovely colors use,
Can get results that always please -
That no one can refuse.
This lesson then is surely fraught
With hints to true and wise ;
It means, if you would ne'er be caught,
You must use Diamond Dyes.

An Enterprising Hotel Man.
It is stated that a hotel tnan in Toronto has posted
up a notice stating that all diners at his place who
use Burdock Blood Bitters to tone up their appetite
and strength, will be charged 20 per cent. extra. We
do not know how true this is,but it undeubtedly does
the work and does it quickly and well.
"Many men, many minds," but -all men and all
minds agree as to the merits of Burdock pills, small
