From our own Correspondent. • Ottawa, June 5.— The business of the session has made decided progress during; the past week, not so u]uch by what has been accomplished, for there has been very little really finizehed, as by the clearing of the decks for vigor- ous action next week, so that, unless some unexpected snag; is struck, then does not seem any reason why prorc gation should not take place on or Ile - tare the 10th ins,. teo.b . so that n (ta will be able to get Away In ample time to enjoy their Jubilee celebration At home. It is true that the tariff resolu- tions ary still unpasse:d ; but the two most difficult resolutions, those rehit- ing to so-called preferential trade and combines have been disposed of in Committee, and very good progress was made on Thursday night and Fri- day on the schedule, of which over one hundred items have been passed There are A together. 628 items In the schedule, bur, of these 510 are unchang- ed from the Old National Policy, and of the 118 in which changes have been made there are only a few, perhaps it dozen ur so, in which a serious effort. will ba made to obtain concessions from the Government, so that next Friday night ough,, to see the end of the tariff resolutions And the following week should be sufficient to close till all the other business which is in be done this session. To the Opposition is due a great deal of credit for this.

THE OCTAGONAL IT CAN BE BUILT FOR. „LESS MONEY THAN A ROUND ONE. ]tions and speelticauous of Ciao to Hold One Hundred Teas of Euallaate—Other Clalms for the Excellence of This Form of Construction, Them will be wauy silos built this sealants, and no doubt many are eaguu•- ing what form of structure is the must serviceable, durable, arid cheap. It Is to give assistauve to such that I esnd you these, descriptions arid diagrams of the octagonal as the form which, in u somewhat extended experience both iri building and tilling, seems to we to till the bill best. The farmers In this vicin- ity were early in adopting the silo eye- tew, azul as a consequence we have sttuctures of many forms—perhaps two- tbirds of the farmers having silos of one fc•rm or another. Those who are build - fug outside permanent frust -proof silos this year are, as a rule, ado,)ting this form. It may be built of woo entirely, wood with cement, or stone base, or cement entirely. The claims made for this form of silo are that it is to all intents and purposes equal to a round one, can be built of wood much cheaper and more durable, and a grtutt deal easder to build than round, exce,pthig the stave form, how- ever, which for an outside silo Is not first-class on account of frust, which s(metimes makes it very inconvenient feeding, if it does not injure the fodder. The octagonal can be built of ee'mcut, which it is next to impossible to use in a round one. Its advantages over a square one are that it takes at least One- sixth nesixth less material in construction for the same capacity. Its power to resist the outward pressure is much greater, having only short girts and greater slieugth at the corners, and, its a eon- 1avouenee, lighter studding can be used. The silage settles much more evenly, there being no sharp corners. To build at wood silo material to be used for siding may be either pine or hemlock.two thicknesses for inside, joints A ❑ 11 too E D . 1� / HI a THE ot'TAGONAL 811,0. . well broken, with tar paper between, first or outside ply of inside lumber es• pedally being better if dressed to an even thickness ; one ply of lumber oil outside, better if battened.

These .studdings are placed horizontally and may be placed at proper distaaw.-e apart to suit the lumber (studs, B). 'l ben there mint be uprights tit each corner (C, No. 1), they miry be either plunk or round poles cut into lengths, and must be well Yoe -nailed at bottom, and voich row of studs spiked to the top. Three feet apart will be quite close cu- ough for studs. 14ieb ring of studs should be pltunbed by line or level. In beginning to build draw it circle with Make a.nd line on the ground or on barn fluor the size intended to crept (A), then draw at right angles the diameter, div- iding the circle into eight equal pnrts; then draw Prom extreme points of lines, througo A, and you have the working Model. A silo 30 feet deep and 15 feet across, iltside mensum, will bold 100 tons of (110age. An experienced builder of cement will Ile able to arrange his material equally its well as in it square one, the care (lit..- ference being that his molding planks will be shorter and twice as many of them. If cement is used for this fern] or any other forth, either for found- ation only or for whole silo, it is advis- able to dig out the size of silo four or five feet below the surface; cement from the bottom and cement the bottom also. It makes the most valuable part of the silo for sumnier A4,iling if made water- tight, the silage being kept cool duriug m4irut weather. It might be banked three or four feet with earth for the same purpose. --J. Diountaill, in London Farmers' Advocate. Breaking Colts to riarneas.

A farm of 25 acres that prodtrcea 60 bushels of corn per acre will give is profit, when a farm of 50 nerea, pro- ducing only 30 bushels per acre, is oper- ated at a loss ; yet the total quantity of c6r4 is the same for both farms, The reason the smaller farm may pay is that less labor in proportion to yield is required. The larger farm will de- mand twice as much plowing, cultivat• Ing and• harrowing as the smaller onp, and the expense of hauling and spread Ing the manure', harvesting the crop, etc., Is much greater. • 11 $Pt,SNDID 6HUP 51`lRN- Its lcnterlpr Arrangement Is Sure tq Give Perfect saWsfaetlon. Tile careful shepherd gives his flocks good care, and finds his buslleas about as profitable as tiny other line of rural Industry. By having good shelter he is enabled to carry more animals through the winter upon a given quantity of feed, and by buying proper conveniences he saves a larger per cent. of his lambs. In growing early lambs, he secures bet- ter prices and in knowing how to feed he has a better quality of}nutton, which leads people to purchase this luost nu- tritious of meats in larger quautitles, nlad thus he aids In building up his own market.

Belbel•ing that the future of sheep Itus- bandry is full of promise we present a plan for it sheep burn. The burn is 40x80, with a fEeding alley lengthwise and separating the stables. We portable rucks erre used to make sub -divisions. These racks may he moved to one side and the wagon or manure spreader driven through the stables for convenience in cleanitng out the manure. Each stable has in con- nection with it an open lot or paddock In which the sheep may run at all times. Where larnbs are grown, a number of double gates are very convenient. These may be set tip in a corner of the stable by means of hooks and staples, and the ewe till(] lumb shut up therein until the lamb has sutheient strength to mingle with the flock without risk of life. A number of these small lens may he set up it necessary, and when riot in its(!they may be stored away in very stwill space. We are indebted to Dir. George McKerrow for this idea, and since he is one of the most successful sheen growers in Wisconsin his recommendations have great weight. We have tested the value of small lox like pens, but the Butes are more convenient, and require less room when not fn use. The basement should be seven and it half or eight feet high, and the loft above should be of sufficient height to provide storage for hay arid fodder. The feed bins may be locateil in the loft and conveyed to a mixing box at the end of the feeding alley by annus of spouts, as shown in It'ig. 2. ry n din the Watering tacks ilia be locate 4 Y LOCATION OF FEED BINS. division fouccs Arid the supply regulated by floats,—Jolty L.

Dluch ntteu•tiou is being devote,l now to the subj('ct of soiling cows during tho severe droughts that Are of annual oe- cur•rence, and inquiry is made for the best crops to use for the burpose. Iiye is mach used, but it Is a poor crop at best, and is only at its best for two or three tears ; before that, it is too watery. and beyond, . too woody to be of ❑111:1 feeding value, or to be relished by the: cows. Wheat is much better. It has greater feeding value, and the cows lila it better, and it will remain ir•u•la longer Ili good feeding condition. Alfalfa, where it will succeed, will be found excelicut. It comes curly, is nitrogenous, has great feeding value, yields well And makes It quick second growth. Oats and peas, sown at dntervads of eighteen dnys, way be nude available for it lonar tiniv, and are an el;cellent 'milk producing fufid. But why hother with any, orall, of these in' any country where corn does well Y No other crop can be talked about that will grow so rapidly, and yield anywhera near so much, or so good, food per acre, as Indian corn. The trouble has been that it could not be got Ili best condition for feeding until late in summer, but inter tests have shown that patting it into a silo, it can be kept so its to he as available as a summer food as for winter. Last year we had a surplus of pota- toes, which we could not sell, and so we fed them to the cows, and not wishing to feed too much succulent food, we covered up the silage and fed potatoes. The result was that when the awful drought of last summer struck its, we had one silo nearly full of good silage. JI'hen we corpmenced to feed it, we were surprised to find our cows eouting up on milk, as though turned into a freab June pasture. So I repeat : Wby fool around with any of those so-called soiling crops, mak to spend it lire part ing it necessary g 1 of each day cutting and hauling a jag; for the cows, when wo, can fill our silo, quickly bit the fall, and have the food it best possible c(inditiou; and where we can get it quickly before the cows 7 And then we can easily grow twice as much foot] value on an acre with this as with tiny other crop. But some one objects. Corn is not a balanced ration, `-dole some of these otber crops are nearly, or quite, so, Admit this claim, and it only adds tc the vault, of the crop. We can bring from oil rueal, cotton seed meal, or On ten meal, all rich bas protein, the vers element needed to balance »p the silaz( as a ration, and all of them worth near ly as mach to apply as manure ns they coat in the market. So that, while rads ing and feeding the better balanced soil Ing crops, we are adding nothing to the fertility of the farm, by the use of th, silo, and buying these nitrogenous foods we balance up the exhausted fertility el the Pnrm. I am strongly lit favor of soiling cows but I would do it by building more silos raising more corn to fill than, And htl)' Ing cheap by-product, instead of tryllu to raise all the feetf needed, and thus le, the fertility of the farm run down.— Practical harmer. Hoard's Dairyman, in commending the above to its readers, says : This is ill( time to act and act promptly. You mils plant now for next year, just n fev% acres, say one acre for each ten cows and when the time comes build a silt to hold the crop. I Profit in Brea. • I Combine bee -keeping with fruit grow, Ing, and you can more easily procur( two crops from the same land, and till% double croppping requires no addittona fertilizing, rs not exhn»stive, demon udl no extra plowin on cultivation, 1! evv crops ask so Iattic outlay as the honey crop. , STRONG COLONIES. Without Thetas Hoekeetiing is Sure to,No . a Disappointment.' One of the difficult things for the no- vice alt bee-li,eeping to learn is that ten strong colonies will store more honey than twenty weak ones. 'There is ail uuxiety fur large numbers, and each colony is counted one, no matter bosun feeble it may be. So the inexperienced Is often delighted at getting two, three, or even four or five swarms from a single colony, notwithstanding the fact that the lust two or three swarms contain only a handful of bees. They mule sure to die before the whiter is over, and them he decides that he doesn't care for snela very weak colonies, but still clings to toe thought that one strung enough to live through it is all tight. Many times, however, it is true econ- omy to lessen the uuutber, even with the vie-tv of having the largest number pos- sible in the succeeding fall. Suppose, for Instance, there are four weak colonies in the spring, each one having enouglt bees to fairly cover two combs. Unite two of them and leave the other two without uniting. You now have only three colonies instead of Pour, and yet you may be better off ; for the one col- ony, with bees to cover four eomb,4, will go right oil, increasing in strength, and by the time the white clover harvest is fully under• way it will be strong en- ougll to give you a rousing awarm. and you will now have hvo strong c6lonim for it, while the two weaklings have only just begun fairly to build up. They stood still, not showing any increape in number for a long time, evidently need - Ing all the strength they had to keep UP existeuee and make good the loss of the dying bees by the young bees raised. If, instead= of trying to increase. the effort be to get all the honey possible, supposing neither colony offers to sivarm, the difference ba fully as noticeable, it not more so. '.rhe united colony will have more bees titan there are in both the others. It is easy� to see that it NMI store snore surplus. Apt if you've had no experience in the matter it may be, hard for- ,you to believe how much more. —Farmers' Union, The Successful Care of Chickens.

When practicable a permanent pas- ture is desirable. Fields that are adopt- ed to the production of tilled craps than are under a close rotation cannot lie pastured with profit. If a crop of clover or timothy is removed in the rotation there is nothing gained by grazing tate young grass or the growth after the crop is removed. The soil needs more of this orgimic matter than it gets at the best, and this aftet•ntath is worth more as fond to the soil than vo the stock. The skinning of the tilled fields by steel, and the tramping when the land is wet are responsible for many failures to get profitable crops. If leas desirable land can be laid do vas to permanent grasses and stock be confined to this land. the plowed land of the farut hits it better chance. flow to Move Largo Hogs.
