question 4. Piease j;iv© me somo
j intoraiation on silos and ensilage, and
; the values of tho latter for feeding to
! milk cows ami other sto.lt?
Answer 4.—Thera being a growing
interest iu Georgia on the subject of
the cow ana her products, viz., milk,
' butter and cheese, resulting iu the es
tablishing of a number of creameries in
the state, it becomes a matter at groat
: importance as to what wo shall mainly
rely upon for our winter food'for cattle.
In answer to this on.:stion I say with
out hesitaticp, eit.nl ,ge. 1 know the
value of winter pastures of rye, oats,
barley and other g -ains and grasses,
and I know tho value of cottonseed
meal and hulls, which have recently
become such important factors in wiu
ter feeding; but without moaning to
j detract from their merits, I would urge
i upon farmers and others who keep
| milch cows the importance of erecting
and using silos. Many are deterred
from doing this by ignorance, both of
i the oust of building and of the expense
of filling u silo, and ior the benefit of
these and others, I herewith append a
few noma of information on tho sub
jeot, which I trust will result in tho
building of numerous silos iu tho state.
This information is taken chiefly from
a report to the department of agricui
tnr etc Wasuingtou:
LOCATION OS’ hi 1,0.
Should be built in reference to con
venience of feeding the stock, conse
quently it should be very near, or iu or
connected to the stables.
FORM OF SILO.
Immaterial as regards tho keeping of
the contents, but it is cheaper and
easier to build iu shape of a parallelo
gram, w T ith the sides longer than tho
ends.
walls of silo.
If above ground, two thicknesses of
inch boards with shouting paper be
tween (which somo think unnecessary)
will be sufficient if supported against
lntteral pressure by the ensilage.
CAPACITY OF P. 11,0
If entirely iilled with oomprosnfi on
silage, tho silo will contain SO pounds
to tho cubic foot.
COVER.
A lay ;• ofjStraw or liar on the top of
tho ensilage and then plunks on top of
that, weighted down by ft ay heavy ma
terial, such its stones, earth, etc. A
little space should be allowed between
tho walls a id coror, that lno cover may
not ••■ateii o.i or against the wall as tho
ensilage sullies.
COST.
Tiia ooet rri viu'lo.l frOUl f? 4 to 1-1
for walls of heavy inn lonry, to ,10 cones
or less for simple wooden silos per ton
of cup.tuity.
Pin .PS FOR KNHILAOR.
Corn take ■ the loaii of ensilegs crops,
and when mixed with field peas makes
a very fine feed. Corn planted for en
silage will produce from lb to so tom
to the acre (53. tons has been made), and
is at its bom lor ensiiage wiiea it lias
nlturned us full growth and before
ripenhig begins.
PUEPAttIMO COHN, PKAS, ETC., FOR TJIK
HI 1,0.
This should be done by a cutter,
driven by horse power or steam, with
carriers to take the ensilage from the
cutter to the 'op of the silo. Tho corn,
pea vinos. •;■.. mould bo cut fine, in
piecet not over an inch in length; it
p icks closer and for this reason is aot
to k..-op hotter than coarse ensiiago. •
FILLING HHS SILO.
Daring tho process of filling, the en
sflags should b kept level and well
trodden. Somo attach much import
ance to rapid filling, whiio others make :
it Mivu a matter or convenience. With
tho packing equally thorough, rapid
fining is probably less.
COST OF FILLING TUB KILO.
This should not exceed -A par ton for
lal>or, including tha entiro co3t of the
crop
WHEN SILO SHOULD I!!' OPENED.
Tho ensilage should remain under
pressure at least uufi cool, and not bo
uscovero l after that until Want'd.
Tha loss by decay wi 1 be very sligh*,
end confined to tho top and isib-r.i.vyhoro
there was more or less exposure to tha
air
VAI.UK. of kss■•LAG" Fore milch cows
A-, a rule. ensilage is l'oii only to
milch cows, and it is in connection
with them that i: ; g: into ;t value will
be found. .Many f*• ■-: ■r ; consider it
equal in valua to on.-haK iin weight
of good liar.
KFI’ifCTS ON DA lit V PM IDL'CTS.
There is a marked i- ••rca.v i in quan
tity and fmprovont'.di tn tho quality of I
mill: and butter, a vi* changing front

with the eff.-ors of a ~;i;i.lar change to 1
fresh past!' - *
v :. . to o - ; MS!: stoc~
Eu dingo Mas also b n fed v/itli good
results to swiue, sheep and poultry*
DAILY RATION OF K ■ , :.,.'.0E.
Cows giving milk are c .inmonly fed
frem 40 to HO pounds of ensilage a day, ;
with a little dry hay or fodder and
grain. Ensilage doss not take tho placo
of grain, but is a substitute for hay or
fodder. Stock fed on ensilage uniform
ly gain iu health and weight, and there
is no doubt a3 to its profitableness.
Question 5. —ls sorghum a good food
for hogs, or will it make them sick ?
Answeb 5.—A little care should be
used at first in feeding sorghum to
hogs, as in all oasss vrhsro the food is
changed; but with this precaution thor
is no finer food for hogs and cattle, and
horses as well. This crop has hereto
fore been mostly raised ior syrup, but
it can bo made much mere remunera
tive if only a moderate quantity i3
made up into syrup *'.ni tho rest used
for feeding purposes. It is so easy o£
cultivation and grows so rapidly, giv
lug several cuttings daring a Reason,
that it Vi ill in time, doubtless, become
one of or.r main and most valuable
S feeding crops.
Question 8 —What is the area of tho
iv at year’s corn crop, and whan Is
it? probable value?
Answer 6.—The number of acres
: covered by this year's corn crop has
b* a estimated at 82,000,000 acre .. At
avenge yield and price, it :j worm
somewhere in the neighborhood of ono
billion dollars.
Qu;■ sTiox 7. I have a valuable horse
• wham has stuck a nail in his foot, and
1 though there seems no present danger,
jI am afraid of lockjaw. What shall i
j do for him ?
An.sv.v.h 7.—lf tho puncture is in tho
so.t part of the foot, cut away the sur
rounding hard parts and form an open
ing o the wound that r may
, esc • Syringe out the wound with
v. nv.u water to remove all dirt or hard
i particles. Then till the opening v.th
cur. . a which has been saturated with
: arnica, turpentine or carbolic acid, the
1 latter mixed with water, one oart car
i bolic acid to four parts water. Keep
the wound open by bqfliing with these
i applications and do not allow any dirt
to get into it. After all soreness is re
lieved, fid the opening with cotton
dipped in vi.r, cover with leather and
I put ou a mi bat watch the loot earn

Ou : .-''Tion B,—A correspondent has
[ sene, u; the following notice with cut,
tle.'.rribl.ujt a very handsome cherry and
y.-.itng information about it. As wo
wnra not familiar with the cherry, wo
sent tho inquiry to Mr. Berckmans,
president the Georgia Horticultural
i-ocietv. His reply is also appended.
Hera is !r - doscripune. of tho cherry:
A FRUIT BONBON.
Avery luscious cherry has been
creating quite a sensatfion ou tho
fruit , mtil this season. This is so
firm, largo and plump that it. has often
been mistal; n for a plum. It has been
well named tho bonbon cherry.
A popular grower recently said of it:
“Undoubtedly this is tho most vsinable
cherry in cultivation, owing to itsenor
incus size, rich, dark red color, luscious
quality and freedom from r’j.a cherry
v.’unr. It. 1 ; a e.uro c-npp.-r cv •->* year,
r-, .'.11 is :■. w iy>i of oztraor In.iry flavor.”
Its c 1 -.iug qn-.i.tiei and . i,t win to
have is- thoroughly :o- I t, as the va
ri sy is somewhat new as yet to the av
erage hou lewifo. it do..\, not seem to
b-;> largely grown here, as it is not found
in quantities in tho mvn iiot this year,
but usually as a apooial dainty on the
frair. stands demanding a vsShor high
jirieo. It will probably bo mare ylmti
ful in a few years in our caatoru mar
kets. f<-r it is becomiug more generally
known that the ti'.'ii: will thrive and
bear nbnndantly in thin oars of tha
and many interested growers
hav planted the trees fug experiment
this voar.
And hero is Mr. Beri kmans’reply:
Eon. R T. Nesbitt, At.autn, Ga :
MV Dev:: S-.r —Darin.' tho .• ..io:a of
the <4 > -rgia State U irti tultnral souio y
at (hithbert, I ataty.i that the indis
oriminate publication by tho average
newspaper man of catchy horticultural
articic. i was frequent'y, dt tvimental to
hm ti ■ .1:: nritl progress. The clipping
winch you enclose is only another ovi -
dcnce of what I state 1, which was in
sulisiaueo that the public would bo bet
t:>:- rervod if that class of articles, of
which the enclosed is a sample* were
lei-alone.
E rr- pomologista will endorse ray
position, because a description of suori
s wond"r:ul cherry has u tendency to
add to the confusion o." existing fruit
nomenclature. The' name “Bonbon” j
is no doubt anew local fad for a well
known variety. Home smart tree pod - ;
filer will fnko advantage of thi* and j
palm off largo quantities of trees (of j
any variety ho can purchase) under
this new namo, at a stiff pric- a.;d mi*- <
load, and disappoint purchasers.
I; tho correct name of this cherry
was given wo won a bo able to know
what its value is; but nil posted fruit
growers will let the “Bonbon” alone.
Er>rf.i''uirural subjects -hould be nan
died I y competent authorities, of which
tho horticultural press is the proper
roiiiw-mit.retiv!*, but which are usually
changed, by the average penny a-1 in or,
solo nia’to it interesting reading for
the public.
The c- it of tin rr ieow.s it to be
long tho L)tik“ or Mcelio type, it
may h'tho “May Duke.” which is a
popular, early sort, cultivated quite
successfully in the < astern and western
states, and in the upper sections of
Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
I have seen gco:i crops of this tuiriefy
in Atlanta, and grown there hr the
late Richard Peters. .
Yours, very truly,
P. J. Berckman.
i Ultrnilit* I!o£*.
When tho weather is just on tha turn
in the fall, hogs can be fattened more
rapidly than they can latsr. Corutneal
aud middlings mixed with unsalable
vegetables and refuse fruit make an ex
cellent variety for their food, iu addi
tion to corn.
