Che new line will open out the rich agricultural and cattle-breeding districts of the Workshiro wolds and valleys. The second report of the Board of Trade in- sped or on the progress of the Forth Brid"-e works shows that the undertaking is proceeding with as much speed as can be looked for, and what is still more important, that the details are being looked after with such care that the travelling public need not fear a repetition of the frightful catastrophe on the Tay some years ago. The preparations for the Luther commemoration in Loudon, on November 10 and four following days, arc proceeding on a very extensive scale. 1 tie committee have established themselves in offices within Lxeter Hall, whence they have issued many thousands of invitations and documents bearing on the various meetings by which it is intended to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of Luther. A.:i officer in the Salvation Army was fined as. and 16s. 6d. costs, at Northampton Police Court, on Monday, for assaulting a man named Lowath, who went to the service at the barracks on Sunday, aud refusing to contribute to the collection, was forcibly ejected, being thrown.on the ground, kicked, his hands cut, and his nose injured. A cross-summons by the officer against Lowatli. for assault was dismissed. A stalwart Irishman, named John OKeefe, was charged at Leicester, on Monday, with assault. When placed in the cells, after being appre- hended for drunkenness, he was found hanging by the neck from the window bars, he having Mkilfully utilised a handkerchief for the purpose, He was cut down and restored, but afterwards re- pealed the attempt. This was his twenty-second appearance, and he was sentenced to two months' hard labour. At Bootle, on Monday, Isabella Dalrymple (13) was charged with causing the death of Grace Love. The girls were playing together, when they found a revolver belonging to a lodger. Isabella pointed it at Grace's liead, and pulled the trigger, until coming to the only loadedchltUber the charge ex- ploded and the bullet lodged in Grace's head. She fell to tile ground, asked for a drink of water, then became unconscious, and died in a few hours. The police considered t he affair a pure accident, and the prisoner was remanded. A singular excise prosecution took place at Nottingham on Monday. David Woodhouse, timber merchant, was summoned for keeping a carriage without a license. Defendant admitted having had the carriage four years, but urged that it had been used for trade purposes, with his name printed on it. The excise officer stated that the Act only excepted wagons and carts used solely for trade purposes, and the defendant's carriage did not come within that definition. Defendant was mnedjjEo, the magistrates considering it a wilful evasion of the law. It was anticipated there would have been a scene at a burial at Wadsley, a village near Sheffield, on Monday. This expectation was caused by the refusal of the parents of the deceased to pay more than the burial fee recom- tnonded by an association at Sheffield. This fee- 4s. Id.—had been paid for a previous interment by the parents, and they had since received a lawyer's letter demanding an increased amount. This was paid. After the interment, on Monday, ?a. Id. was tendered, but refused. The service jj was performed by the vicar. ) A young man named Patrick Mullen was: admitted into the Northern Hospital, Liverpool, j on Monday, suffering from injuries sustained through an explosion of turpentine at the works of Messrs. Crean and Shepherd, oil and tallow manu- facturers. It appeared that Mullen was engaged filling with oil some barrels sent by a customer, when he found that one of the barrels contained something, and he got a candle to see what it was. An explosion immediately occurred, blowing out both ends of the barrel, a portion of which struck him on the chest, and be was also severely burnt about the head and face. Sir Farrer lierschel, Solicitor-General, address- iug the students at the Durham Science School on j Monday night, said that if he had to live his life I' over again he should endeavour, before the practical work of life began, to make himself thoroughly acquainted with some branch of natural science. Dwelling upon the advantages to be gained by the study of modern sciences, and specially that of electricity, he strongly deprecated the practice of those who endeavour to make the whole world of science their study, and advised students to thoroughly master one branch before taking up another, and to limit their studies to the complete mastery of the subjects taught. The Japanese papers bring intelligence of an appalling calamity in Sanuki. A theatre thronged WltL spectators took fire, and a panic ensued. The I, flames spreading rapidly through the slightly- built house, sixty children and fifteen grown penons were, in the fright and confusion, crashed-or burned to death, and upwards 01 one persons were seriously injured. In commenting on the sad event the japan Mail saVs:A *Tapa- ne99 playhouse is a veritable fire-trap. In the "fit st place, the entrance is so narrow that ingress or egress for more than one person at a time is inr cavenient; and, in the next, the gallery. o:i!v accessible by a steep ladder, to descend which at the best of times is no easy zaatter. Moreover, the majority of a Japanese theatrical audience consists of women and children. Thus anything like a panic in a Japanese theatre can wily mean death or serious injury for a number of iiw soectators." At the Greenwich Police Court, Mary Ann John- 401, has been charged, on remand, with tarring a request for the withdrawal of JE18 16s. lOd., de- posited in the Post Office Savings Bank, and the signature of Susan Coomber. The prisoner was committed for trial on two cases of forgery. A number of workmen were engaged in cutting a drain near Stanwick Hill, Darlington, the resi- donco of the Dowager Duchess of Northumberland, when the ground fell in, and James and George Cuttler, brothers, were buried. George was little the worse for his mishap, but James when Jfot out dead. The rating of Haglan Castle has been increased by the overseers from Sio to X300.

A lady named Micbael- ovna, who attended the advanced course of lectures for women, has been arrested and sent to St. Petersburg. At Belaja Yerroff, in the Govern- ment of Kieff, 200 students have been expelled in a body from the commercial school. The reasons for this measure are not yet known. The paper 'also istates as a fact that in the Ettnstantinm W. Military School at St. Petersburg all the students of noble birth have been required to furnish a list not only of their present but of their former acquaintances. The motive alleged for i this order is that very compromising documents have been found in possession of several of the students. GREAT FIRE IN JAMAICA.

THE DISTURBANCES IN OT/nF/NTRTTRn The disturbances in Oldenburg occasioned by the conduct of the Prussian Commandant, Major bteinmann, towards the officers and people of the Duchy, exciteuluch attention at Berlin. The newspapers generally deplore the misunderstandings which gave rise to the recent outbreak of animosity against Prussia, especially as there has never before epsted any anti-Prussian feeling in the Grand Duchy. The National Zeitullg reports that Major Steiumann received challenges from four Olden- burg officers. After meeting and wounding one, he fought a second duel on Friday last, and him- i self received a bullet wound iu the shoulder. The troops are still consigned to barracks every evening. We hear from Berlin that the Emperor has ordered the strictest enquiry to be made into the cause of the recent riots at Oldenburg. The news- papers state that Major Steinmann will probably be dismissed from the service, or at least trans- lerred to another command. The landlady of a public-house frequented by journeymen bakers found a loaded bomb in the stove of a room where 200 persons were assembled. It was by the merest chance that a terrible catastrophe was averted. GERMANY. il i?e emperor returned to Berlin on Saturday night from his two days' shooting on Count Stol- berg's estates. His Majesty, now in his 87th year, has again shown steadiness of hand and quickness of sight unusual at his age. No less than 78 hares, 21 wild boars, and five deer fell to his gun. At Dusseldorf twn officials emplnyixl in thfk military offices have been arrested on the charge of high treason. The German Admiralty has ordered another 100 fish torpedoes, at the cost of one million moxks, deliverable before next spring. THE EARTHQUAKE IN ASIA MINOR. j A despatch from Smyrna toports that the wall surrounding the town, the aqueduct, and the Hadji Hussein Mosque have been damaged by an earthquake. The minaret and dome of the Hadji Ali Mosque at Capan-Vourla have also been in- jured. At the last-named town 169 persons have been seriously, and 61 alio-htly hurt. Seventy-uiue wounded persons are in the hospitals. THE RECENT DUEL IN HUNGARY. The father of the late Count Batthyani, believing that Rosenberg was wounded by his son's second shot, in which case the duel ought not to have been continued, has caused Rosenberg | to be examined. He was found to be uninjiired, except that he had a wound which he received in a duel a twelvemonth ago. Had a fresh wound been found the old Count Batthyani would have accused Rosenberg of wilful murder, the seconds having stipulated that the duel should be con- tinued until blood was drawn. Rosenberg, when asked by the Judge if he was married, answered— « Yes; but not according to our law." I CHILI AND PERU. Perfect tranquillity prevails at Lima. The Peruvian political prisoners detained in Chili embarked on Saturday on their return to their own country. Admiral Garcia-y-Garcia has been appointed Peruvian Minister to England and France. The Chilian Minister at Washington has received a despatch from Lima, stating that Arequipa has surrendered to the Chilians without a battle. Admiral Montero, who has been acting as vice-president of the Republic, has fled. The despatch also says that General Inglesias has been proclaimed president in Lima. THE DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY. We learn from Halifax that the prisoners Holmes and Bracken have been committed for trial on the charge of being in possession of dynamite and dangerous explosives. Bail was refused. CHOLERA AT MECCA. Un account 01 we prevalence oi cnoiera at, jxLecca and Jeddah, the steamers conveying pilgrims to the latter place have been ordered back to El Thor. EXPLOSION AT FRANKFORT. A quantity of dynamite or mtro-giycerine was malit-iously exploded on Monday night at the chief police offices in this city. Although all the officials were on the premises at the time no one was injured. The building, however, was seriously damaged. The Fire Brig-ado was summoned to the scene of the explosion; but the men soon left again, as their services were not required. In the course of removing the debris of the portion of the central police office shattered by the explosion, eight shells of shrapnel shape were discovered, filled with nitro-glycerine. An investigation into the affair has been instituted, and several arrests have been made.

It is a matter of regret that a gentleman holding so responsible a! position as that of County Court judge should have! been led into the utterance of so strong and perhaps 1 injudicial a remark. But, sir, are Welshmen all veracious? Alas, it must be admitted that they are not, and amorgst my countrymen I have met sf%-De who may be described as singularly felicitous per-; verters of the truth. I have one case. heard before' the County Bench of Magistrates in Wrexham, vivid, in my memory. Three Welshmen swore that another man was at a certain spot upon a particular niht and at a particular time, whilst three others swore as positively that the man was at another place, a con- siderable distance away, upon the same night and at the same time. How is this to be explained, except I that flat perj ury had been committed by one or other of these batches of Welshmen ? Whilst free opinions are expressed upon Mr Cox's conduct, let it be borne > in mind that so tremendous an application of his remarks which has been made all over Wales may call to mind the proverb which says something about j caps fitting. Before making an onslaught upon Mr i Cox's remarks, let Welshmen be quite sure that there are no grounds for those remarks.—I am, &c., ¡ I VERITAS. v THE NEW REFORM BILL. C:'t T OIK, A can see tnat both Ministerialists and Opposi- tiomsts are quite prepared to respect the fiat' of the LeedS Conference, and that we shall; probably find a new Reform Bill introduced into Parliament, in the early days of the next Session. There is some hope still left to us that the present very bad Parliament, will do one thing at least to redeem the character of the Liberal party. I am old- fashioned enough to hope the Bill will deal with the franchise, and with the re-arrangement of seats; and I I should like to see electoral districts adopted in the place of the present cumbersome plan of counties and boroughs. I There is not much reasonable ground to expect the latter, but so far as North Wales is concerned there is really no difficulty in the way of simplifying our representation. I assume that Denbighshire will have three members as at present, but why not abolish the boroughs, and divide the county into three election districts, having Wrexham for one centre, Denbigh for another, and Llanrwst for the third, giving to such district one member. Flint. shire in like manner might be cut in two Carnarvon- shire into two; Anglesey into two Merionethshire into two (giving it another member); and Mont- gomeryshire into two ? The existing boroughs, spread up and down the counties, are vexatious in every way; difficult and costly to manage, and, I am told, centres of intrigue, so that no fellow can be sure as to what may happen at any given election. Will you allow me to throw out this suggestion, for I want to go down to my grave with the credit of having done some little service to my country. I did think, until a week ago, that I might have shared that virtue in common with some other people but I am told that we owe more to one man than to all the rest of us put together; and although I have printed Fwl* ne in big letters under his name I still tremble a little, lest other people should be disposed to differ from me in opinion.—I am, &c., AN OLD REFORMER. CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE LIBERAL I ASSOCIATION. DIK,—U nder the above heading, a letter appeared in your issue of October 20th, signed by one who styles himself An Old Liberal," the statements in which, if allowed to go unchallenged, are calculated to do an amount of injury to the newly-formed associ- ation for this district. Jutlging from the tone of his letter An Old Liberal" is anything but a Liberal, and governed by anything but principle, and he has evidently chosen the columns of your paper as a medium through which to vent his personal spite and spleen against one or two" officials of the associa- tion. His main ground of objection is that one or two leadintr officers are obnoxious, that the people have no faith in them, that they are unpopular, and lastly, that they are Englishmen and he asserts that on principle" he cannot join an association, the executive of which includes these gentlemen. On what "principle" does he act ? Surely, if he is An Old Staunch Liberal" things like these, even if they were true, which is not admitted, should not deter him from doing his best for the party to which he claims to belong. The fact is that his objections are the outcome, pure and simple, of his own personal animosity, and do not as he states, represent the opinions of the party in general. Every- thing in connection with the formation of the association has been carried on in the most straightforward, above-board manner, the circular convening the first meeting being signed by four of the most representative men that could be found in the district. The meeting at which the officers and council were appointed was widely adver- tised by poster, handbill, and crier and we may say that two-thirds of those present at that meeting were Welshmen, three of the officers and nearly three- fourths of the council being also Welshmen. The voting was conducted by ballot, and the president elected previously suggested that a Welsh chairman should be elected. As to the secretaryship, four persons conversant with the Welsh language declined to take that office, and the present secretary was induced after considerable pressure to undertake the duties of that post, which he has creditably fulfilled. "An Old Liberal" says that "the respectable portion, the major part, and the most influential section of the party actually hold aloof from their meetings, &c." These I )ftv phrases must have cost him a tremendous intellectual effort, but they mean nothing. We believe these consist of himself and one or two more dogs in the manger'' of the same class. In conclusion, we beg to say that a meeting of the Association will shortly be held, particulars of which will be duly announced, when all real Liberals are invited to attend and enrol themselves as members. Apologising for thus trespassing on your space,—We are, &c., THE VICE-PRESIDENTS OF THE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. ST.rt,-Having received about a dozen copies of the Advertiser from friends, thinking, I believe, that I should not have noticed the unmerciful attack made upon me and my humble residence, viz., Rock Hall, I beg to say that I did not write the letter which ap- peared in your paper a fortnight ago.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. At th9 V ,n Mmeaon Saturday, a storekeener named David Evans was oiling awheelinmo?on when i he fell into it and was instantly killed. It h said that the ''?? "Protest" of the workmen at ialargoeh Mi.ne has resulted in the decision of the purchaser of the machinery to re-open the workings, and give them another trial. A correspondent writes "That in travelling from enb?h to Hanrwst, via LIansannM, a short time fatgn o, 1m, y attention was directed to the resumption of operatwns :t the celebrated Dyffryn A!ed Copper Mines, which is situated on the estate of MrP'W Yorke, on the banks of the river Aied. This mine returned large quantities of valuable copper ores, and was making considerable profits, but a misunderstand- ing arose oatween the shareholders respecting the workings about six or seven years ago caused all operations to be suspended. The landlord, with his usual generosity, would not take advantage of the forfeiture of the lease, but allowed it to expire before entertaining any application for the further working of the mine. A party of working miners, who for some years had their eyes on the spot, recently obtained a 'take' of it, on, I am informed, very favorable terms, and at once set vigorously to work, and having cleared and secured the adit level, and laid rails along the same, they commenced raisill copper ores of which there is already several tons on the dressint; lfoors, ready for sale. This must be very encouraging as they have been at work only a few months, and speaks well for the success of the under- dertakiLg, and we trust the enterprising Company will be well rewarded for their outlay, as the opening of mines in this district will materially benefit, and add to the industry of this hitherto undeveloped part of the county of Denbigh."

AGRICULTURE. FARMING AND CORN TRADE. The HI ark Lane Express of Monday weather during the past week has been on the whole fine, and during the latter portion of the time became very mild. The land is now in splendid condition for wheat sowing as a rule, and good progress continues to be made. The autumn sown fodder crops and the early sown wheats are getting excellent start. There has been no improvement in farmers' deliveries, and prices have been weaker. In fact, the values may be said to have dropped about Is from the previous week, both in Londun and the provinces. Flour has been cheaper to buy, country makes coming forward very freely with the exception of the very finest samples. For malting barleys, prices have declined during the week in some provincial exchanges. The supply has been large, and fair ordinary qualities have been offered at Is to 2s per quarter less money, whilst grinding sorts have declined from 6d to Is. As the season advances malt is meeting a better inquiry at about late rates. With regard to native oats, beans, and peas there has been no change to note. Trade for foreign wheat off stands in London has not shown any improvement, and foreign flour has been difficult of sale." The Farmer says The corn market keeps dull. The weather remaining fine, supplies are in excess of the current demand for all articles. English wheat may be picked over at old rates. Many lots are but in poor condition. Foreign wheat ranges from 33:; to 46s, the bulk being only six to forty. Flour is neglected. Oats rather cheaper. Maize steady at reduction. Other articles without change. Market generally favours buyers." Lmmox AGRICULTURAL SEED TRADE, Wednesday. —An improved demand for red cloverseed is now ex- perienced and values are advancing. Fine samples of foreign seed being scarce are enquired for. Long prices are asked for white cloverseed, choice qualities being in very short supply. There is no change in either alsike or trefoil. In Italian ryegrass there is not much doing. A further advance is demanded for hempseed, but canary continues dull and neglected. Spring tares are firm. Linseed steady.—John Shaw and Sons, Seed Merchants, 37, Mark Lane, London, E.C. SHEEP-BREEDING IN WALES.—In accordance with resolutions adopted at the recent conference of Welsh farmers, the mountain sheep walks of Wales were opened on Oct. 25th. The lamb supply to the Royal household having been prohibited during the past season by the Queen, the Welsh mountain farmers re- solved to keep the rams from the sheep walks until October 25, with a view to improve the breed of sheep and delaying the lambing season, the statistics proving that occupiers of mountain farms in Wales have not reared more than half the number of lambs yeaned during the past ten years. The principal caust: of the losses was attributed to early lambing, few of the lambs being able to withstand the rigour of the ex- treme climate in mountainous regions. After the severe winter and long continuance of snowfalls the ewes became so reduced as to have no milk for their lambs. Many thousands of rams are now feeding upon the mountains in the Snowdonian, Cader Idris, and other mountainous districts, and the farmers confidently anticipate that a greater number of lambs will be reared during the ensuing season than at any period during the past decade.

ENSILAGE. When we introduced last year, for the first time to our agricultural readers, Ensilage, as a mode of grass preservation. little notice, comparatively speaking, had been directed to the subject. Here and there, the journals read by farmers and market gardeners, had alluded to an original but questionable method of pitting herbage of different kinds, like potatoes so kept from air, heat, and moisture. But there were very few s igns of the near waking up to the fact, that has since taken place in the agricultural mind. Yet the art which will add millions to the productive power of the United Kingdom, under tain or sunshine, was only quiescent. It neither slumbered nor slept, it might be written, some such words as those of "the Song of Steam "— Oh I laughed as I lay, concealed from sight, For many a passing hour, At the undreamed waste of wholesome food. Wrought by the sun and shower. When I saw the peasant in the field, Tos ing the fragrant hay, And marked the rain st,)rm from the hill, Wash precious food away. I could not but think how the world would feel. When the green-herb near and far, Was safely housed in earth's cool breast, A fodder beyond compare. But when Ensilage farmers by the hundred, in a country which is sending us nearly half our wheat, and a large proportion of our meat, butter and cheese, met at New York from far and near, to compare notes, and pronounced, one and all, afterwards, that if properly done, there need be no failure, the reveil4 had indeed sounded. Their voice was heard by the Jupiter of the English press, and echoed by it and the great farming and agricultural journals, and to-day it is no exaggerated estimate, that twenty thou- sand tons of British grass are buried, like the talents of old, in the earth's napkin, but unlike them, that they will when raised to light and air, reproduce themselves in milk. butter and meat, abundantly. The art of Ensilage, now that we trace its history, is very old. It is alluded to in Jeremiah, and is mentioned by Pliny. It has been practiced by Orientals from time immemorial. Captain Burnaby, whose Ride to Khiva" was one of such keen ob- servation, saw these pits or silos there. In Europe it is 40 years old at least, if not more, as in 1842 fine grass was regularly pitted in East Prussia. How long it has, in another form, been practised in Holland, says the Quarterly JRevkic, we cannot say, but it has been for many years customary to preserve the grass, by treading it close with horses' feet, layer on layer, weighting at night with boards and weights, and re- commencing next morning, till it is as high as a house, the horses being raised and lowered by mechanical means, and the stack then covered from rain. The frugal Swiss had long been accustomed to collect the leaves and tufts of scanty herbage, and tread them into a pit. and Mr Goffart, a Frenchman, who has written upon and practised the art for 30 years, says this fact first introduced him to study Ensilage. He had practised it in Fiance on a yearly increasing scale, and an American having seen a work on the subject in French, translated it, and published it in America. There it immediately took root, and ex- tended in all directions. But with the admirably written work before us, we are rather desirous to leave its history, and to show the Welsh farmer what is its position in our own country as a practical art, and to make it clear that to the whole community its adoption will be a priceless boon. If the ratepayer in our towns is driven to make a sewage farm, and grow thereon repeated crops of rye-grass, there is at once a mode of storing it for sale, or using it as fodder, to a large pecuniary advantage and reduction of rates. To the heads of families it offers the prospect of a large reduction in the price of meat, and a magnificent supply of milk and butter and cheese. To the farmer it offers the prospect of doubling, if not trebling his return, and as regards grazing farms, of being entirely independent of the weather. It is like a kaleidoscope, turn it however you will, it shows a different patten, of utility and wealth. By making cattle a desirable and main branch of farming, it adds new and remark- able fertility to the soil, either grass and wheat land It shows that every acre of land well attended to, will support two cows, that the return from the land will be trebled, and if it may only be a poet's dream that. every rood of land will maintain its man, it will make it true that every two roods shall keep one cow. This little pamphlet tells us hmv to do it. It tails us how and where to make the silo, how and with what to fill it, and it is practicl in iti directions, an 1 full of interesting dr?wmgs and communications from all sources The pit will do anywhere, in a field, a barn, a hill Stde. a hole in the ground, half fmt, altogether on^* like a col:i?ry pjwder magazine. An old limekiln would be a I)eifect aii(i so wuuld a vat or great barrel. All that is wanted is tight packing, air exclusion and protection from rain. Perhaps the most interesting of all the ccmmunica- tions in Mr Christy s pamphlet, i-t from a practical Enlish agriculturist, Mr Thomas Easdale, of North Allerton, who wrot-3 at the close of last year to the Field. A first letter on the same subject having caused numerous enquiries from him by letter, he published in the Field the fullest and by far the most satisfactory information that had then been given on the whole subject being as follows:- Said of jjra$4 '??-C?mmeace.t with orJ:n?ry 2r388! !rGm a roadside; thea some uf? stalky mtuto, and &tMhed I i' wt? th strong aftermath.

An im- provement in the weights is also contemplated. Coat of filling —T:is will depend very much on how far the land on which the gr.iss grows is from the silo After this it is only a M-atter of carting to the silo and filling in as mentioned under heads 2, 3. and 4. Rationfor caelt cow.-From -,5 lbs. to 50 lbs. per day, according to size of beast and quantity of other food given. Quality of butter and cream and condition of cattle.—The butter and cream continue of the very best quality, while the improvement in the general appearance of cows is most decided. Utility of the silo.-It is obvious that silos virtually save the labor "f hay-drying and stacking, and answer the pur- pose of a stacking barn. Moreover, they will, when fairly well-built, last fif, y years or more so that, practically, no futu'e expense need be incurred beyond that of filling them annually. Weight on ensitago.-One cubic foot was put on scale to-day, and it weighed 434 lbs., thus showing that our silo contained, when opened, rathe>- over 10 tons. Comparing I' this with head N". 20 shows that little or no loss of weight can have taken place under the operation. There can be no dOllht of the great importance of this subject to every agriculturist, more especially to giass farmers One of my correspondents in Ireland says tha; he and his father had 300 acres of meadow to save last summer; and, owing t > the extraordinary wetness of the season, a great ■ ortion was lost. To such gentlemen silos wi I be the greatest boon imaginable. They can cart to them all the grass from shady and damp places round woods, &c., leaving that on the more open and upland places to be made into hay.-Tiios. EASDALE. Estate Office, Pepper Arden Hall, East Coutan, .Northallerton. This report is so satisfactory, that it leaves scarcely anything to add to the subject of pitting" as a pro- cess, but there is a great deal in the pamphlet as to crops for Ensilage, that is new and interesting. The first is that there is a crop which has never been raised in England hitherto, and will not ripen there, but which is invaluable for Ensilage. Chemical analysis now reveals that it is a wasteful process, to allow any form of forage to run to seed. Indian corn (in flower only), oats and other cereals, are thus eminently suited for the pit. Of Indian corn sown in drills, ten tons an acre on average land may be grown. It may be packed without cutting, and some of the farmers at the Congress who had tried both ways were against cutting it up. Mr C. W. Mills, of Pompton, N.J., who had practised the art since 1879, had kept 80 milking cows for six weeks on the pro- duce of five acres, with an addition of three quarts each of grain daily thus stored. He had planted it in rows 32 inches apart, with 40 or 50 kimels in each hole. The growth was chiefly stalk. He said a ton was worth more than the same weight of the best hay. He loads his silos with 300 lbs. to every foot, in blocks of several feet cubic, and takes out a block at a time and a square of folder, and recloses. Another fact is that a crop called "Prickly Comfrey," which yields five crops in the year and 100 tons to the acre, is a splendid crop for feeding and Ensilage. Another fact in connection with Ensilage is that all and every- thing that animals eat green, can be. mixed or unmixed, put into a silo, red clover being particularly suited as a close packing material. Mr J C. Cromwell, an American farmer, says:- At Rye, New York County, •• my experience leads me to believe that everything of vegetable nature that animals will eat. will make useful Ensilage. For example, last year I cut up and packed away in my silo-Isk, IS inches of green oats 2nd, 6 inches of red clover; 3rd, 6 inches of Canada peas 4th, 2 inches of brewei s' grains 5th, 2 feet of corn sown broadcast, more rag-weed than corn in the crop 6th. five inches of comin >n tu 1-grown grass 7th, a foot of sorghum 8th corn planted in dr lis. I spread over every 6 or 9 inches a Iiarh sprinkling of salt, not so much to preserve the Ensilage as to make it more palatable. The cattle and horses ate all, including rag-weeds, greedily. My cows were never so healthy or iu so good condition as I when fed on Ensilage. But the report given by Mr Geo. Thurbie from actual results is the most striking. He speaks of that from clover which has been allowed a few days to dry after removal from the silo. Calves, turkeys, ducks, and chickens, all but the mule*, have eaten Ensilage from the first, and feed with avidity the turkeys, chicks, and ducks have not had an ource of grain during the winter, aud my turkej 3 are as fat as under the most skilful feeding. I have been enabled to sell my hay at a good price. Some very interesting accounts are given of the re- sults of Ensilage feeding, compared to those from dry food as regards quantity and qaality of milk, butter and increased weight. In regard to the action of Ensilage on a cow, the following is worthy of note. An accurate account was- I kept of the weight of milk I Week prior to opening silo, the cow gave per diem Uli Ibs. I Week after opening the silo 21i lbs. Dry food stopped, except meal. 241 lbs. I me cow ate on an average 00 IOS. ot ensilage a day. There is also a report of Ensilage on Lord Walsingham's cows fed from it, some being from the coarsest and unsaleable grass. The cows had 6 lbs. of crushed oats and 3 lbs. of bran daily, with or without I Ensilage. The milk increased from 70 quarts from five cows, to 82, and when two that had it were put on hay they gave three quarts less each day. After five months the first silo was op ned and found in splendid condition nicely moist, but without any super- abundance of water. When first offered them, horses, cows, and young stock ate it greedily. Five pedigree short- I horn cows were selected and fed with this ensilage, and the following table gives the daily diet and yield from December 14th, 1882, to January 10th, 1883. Besides the proportions of ensilage and chaff, each cow had daily 6 The I crushed oats, and 3 lbs bran. 'Ihe milk previous to Decem, ber 14th was 63 quarts. ) i en'sge, 8 ch J en'sgs, ch ens'ge, J Cb'jf ens'ge, fc Ch!tl .) I I a I ¿ ?i S 3 4 t i -< S § ? .a :1 c.t! ce 1- :$ '?;.Ss ? ct ¡ 2s,t'?

These improved results correspond with the in- creased proportion of ensilage to chaff. To the farmer and cowkeeper the system opens a gold mine, but there is not a person who feeds an animal of any kind, from a horse to a rabbit, and from a goose to a fowl, who cannot profit by it. Occupiers of country houses, who have only a small field of two or patch of land, of one or ten acres—Clergymen with large families and small glebes, will especially become possessed of new sources of butter and milk. The circle, small or great, is complete. The cattle, nearly always under cover, tire fed with Ensilage, about l a cubic foot daily, from a store close by. The manure, liquid or solid, is all saved, and makes it produce a bountiful crop, safe for harvesting in rain or sunshine, to be stored for future use. The process need never cease, in summer or autumn, as long as scythe or I mowing machine can feet anything from the grass, for by suitable mechanical and easy arrangements, the I silo may be frequently opened and shut. As we see the children of the poor collect manure from high- I way so they can collect many a thistle nettle. and now useless weed and grasses, by the roadside, for the garden silo. The Dean who laments the absence of milk as a diet for the laboring class, will see a land flowing with milk, if not honey, and in short, millions will be added to the agricultural wealth of the nation, Let us also add that, thanks to the Agricultural Ho dtncs Act, carried by Mr Gladstone's government, the silo made anywhere on the farm, or in the barn, will belonx to the tenant, who will no longer see his property seizable by the landlord, whi'e he mkes his crop secure from the match of the inc?ndi?t-y or the pipe of the wandering tramp. To all, this new. o- j old art, will be indeed" good tidings of great joy," and wuh ad reverence be it written this new form of treasure will be in the earth, an1 yet placed where neither moth or rust can corrupt," or t'lieves easily break through and steal. One thing more, and we have done. The process is most eminently fIe- signed for land, subject to long droughts. The moisture retained in fodder hv Ensilage, largely sup- plies the place of water. The best meadow hay con- tains sixteen parts of water—En-dla^e contains from 50 per cent. to 70 per cent. It is evident that where it is impossible to make hay in any shape, or only at considerable cost, much of the product must be lost or withered. In Hindostan where the drought lasts nearly half the year, ensilaged fodder will be in both 'nvahMMe.

He thought the best way to spread the knowledge of the subject would be to let the farmer know he could make money by it. J.H.R.

I mL -L' FOOTBALL NOTES. I flit 1* i* I Aiie action 01 line Dirmmgnam Dootoatt Association in disqualifying three players (who accepted engage- ments with Lancashire clubs) frpm representing the Association in any of its matches, will certainly meet with the approval of the other associations. It is rather hard that clubs having fixtures with Lancashire teams cannot go to fulfil them without one or two of their players receiving tempting offers to remain. The Scotch clubs have suffered severely in this respect, there being hardly a club that has crossed the borders that does not deplore the loss of one or two of their prominent players, Sheffield and Birmingham have also felt the power of Lancashire money, and now comes the turn of the Welsh clubs. It is not very long since two well-known members of the Wrexham club received the offer of a nice little sit," which I ) am glad to say was not accepted, but the same cannot be said of some members of a neighbouring club, who have gone over to the Bolton Wanderers. I have seen in one or two papers a report that the I Northwich had scratched to Rhyl in the first round of the Welsh Challenge Cup (on account of the distance I suppose), and now it turns out that they I want to play the match after all. What is the reason ? I don't think the distance has lessened any or the Northwich team improved all that much. I' The only reason I can give, and I don't think I am far out, will be found in the last two lines of the paragraph above. Perhaps they think their chance of the cup is more rosy now. Of the ties played off on Saturday there is not the least doubt that the one between Oswestry and Chirk was by far the best. That these two clubs are pretty evenly matched the result clearly shows—two goals eacli-and I fancy when they meet again it will not be far different. There was also another drawn game between the Crown and Rhostyllen-this time one goal each. There was something else there besides football, so I am told. Wrexham journeys to Corwen to-day (Saturday) to play their tie, and if the team that I heard mentioned goes, the Corwen will soon be put out of their agony and oat of the competition. The Athletic News of Wednesday has the following: "That was a shabby trick ptayed on Eagley. They have fixtures with the Druids, and on Saturday made the long journey to Ruabon., only to find the Taffies hieing away to a Cup t,.e. Although Eagley sent word during the week that they were coming, they were not advised otherwise. Shabby, very shabby." REVERSE. FOOTBAU. FIXTURES. Nov. 3rd, v. Corwen (Welsh Cup Tie), at Corwen.
