If you do not keen many cows or cattle to feed the ensilage to, do not build a wide silo. Build one so as to take two or three inches off every day to prevent moulding. Feed a small quantity the first few feeds, till the cows get used to it, then gradually increase the amount till they are eating about 18 to 20 pounds each feed. Be careful to not give a cow more ensilage than she can eat up clean. They get "off their feed" quicker by two much ensilage than any other feed used. Constant Reader. All Farms Should Have Silos. 2d Premium.—To get the best results with a silo it is important for the corn to be cut when it is neither too green nor too ripe. If the weather is such that the crop matures naturally, and the lower leaves on the stalks do not begin to dry up, it is advisable to leave it until the grain has passed the milk stage. If put away too green the ensilage becomes unpalatable. To be right the stalk should be pretty full of sap. However, the blades and tassels should be a little dry. I believe that sihige is the best form in which the farmer can save his fodder crn. It is succulent and palatable, and the animals eat it much more readily than they do field cured corn. Besides, the cost of putting corn into the silo is but slightly greater than that of curing it in the field. Silage is better for cows than hay. It is excellent for sheep, horses, and hogs. It is more economical than shredded fodder. The silo should be as common on the farm as corn cribs are. It is surely a good thing in the possession of a sensible man, and silage is the very cheapest form of roughage grown under all conditions. Kosciusko Co. Id A.

In planning the houses shown in connection with these papers I have kept the cost in mind and endeavored to see that every dollar counts and at the same time to design a thoroughly practical and modern house. The design submitted In this issue shows a seven room, one and a half story home having a reception hall, parlor, dining room, bed room, kitchen and pantry on the first floor, and two bed rooms, bath and small attic on second floor. Basement extends under whole house and a good sized porch extends across the front. Closets are provided for each bed room and a broom closet arranged off from the kitchen. In case a bath room is not desired the space occupied by bath room could be occupied as a store room, and it would make an excellent place for the storage of the various articles which must be kept in a place easily got at. The bed room on the first floor will be appreciated by families in which there are elderly people, to whom the clinbing of stairs would be an effort. This room also makes an excellent sick room, being so convenient to the living rooms and it is also a desirable place for baby to take her afternoon nap and be in easy call. The stairway in reception hall is of the open pattern and of modern design. A mantel has been arranged in Parlor and sliding door provided between parlor and dining room. The bay window in the parlor afford an excellent view and is an inexpensive feature. Careful attention has been given the plan of the construction of this house to see that there will be no waste of lumber, the various dimensions being arranged so that stock lengths of lumber may be used with as little cutting as possible. This is a very important point in the construction of any building and should be givenparticular attention as it is another method of looking after the pennies and being sure the dollars will take care of themselves. The cost of this building will vary of course in different localities my estimate being $950 within 350 miles of Chicago. I believe I have covered the most important points in the description of this building and will cheerfully give any further information regarding it. Horses Burned In Stables A recent fire in a livery stable in this city, in which several horses were burned and one at Noblesville where two were burned, besides much other valuable property, are texts for a sermon on the importance of greater care in protecting these places from the fierce, devouring element. Such things should be prevented. No horse should be so fastened to his stall that he cannot be quickly released in case of a fire. Would that some inventor would put his mind on the subject and devise a fastening that could be operated from the outside, and that other ways of getting the noble beast out of danger could be provided. It is heartrending to read the accounts of the suffering of the imprisoned brutes when the flames are scorching their bodies.
