Archie M'Pliee's farm, near Taratahi Factory, Claroville, ?, stack of inaizu ensilage now in prime cut. There was about JO tons, v.-hicli was cut off about an acre and a half, and it averaged about "ft, high before cutting. The cows rush for it, iiul tlic few that are in milk (two or three) give good results. In fact, the grower is so pleased with it that ho intends going in for more next sfason, and will, T am sure, be pleased to show any one what and how ho did it.
"He .stacked it with a singing derrick, rigged up by his neighbour (an old "handy man"), whoso cows also are reopin<: tho benefit of tho experiment, and wintering well." [Contributions of a practical nature such as the above are welcomed, and phonld bo addressed to I The Editor TTarih Tage, Doiiikion Office, 'Wellington.]
