ENSILAGE.

The Otnyo Daily Times of a recent date rays :- An intonating experiment in ensilage has been conducted by 1 r during the past six months. Having constructed some concrete wdis, he placed in these the crop of cats from an a joining paddock. The ca's were put in just as they were mown down, and then boards were placed on the top cf the fodder, and again cn the top of tfaesi heavy weights in the shape of old c jrn sacks filled with sand. Several times during the course of filling the pits, the fodder was compressed by these temporary weights, and the pits daily refilled nntH the whole of the crop from a paddock 2| acres in extent was placed In the pits, and on the slh of February last they we - e sealed by similar expedients to those used for compressing the fodder. On Saturday last, the 24th instant, one of the pits was opened and the silo examined. Owing to a faulty arrangement of the roof, whereby the pits had not been sufficient'y protected from the rain and snow, and consequently rain water had unf jrtimately filtered down through the seal, the result of the experiment was only a comparative success, as the upper layer of the silo in one corner was found to be mouldy for a depth of about eight inches; the body of ii, however, was f und to be in good order, sweet and fresh, very like grain just malted, and was partaken of by septs cattle with avidity. A horse tkat had been daintily stable-fed could not be per suaded to touch it. And when it is re membered that there was so much good fresh grass in the paddock, it may be con sidered" surprising that the cattle fed upon it at a’l. Mr B'air, of Nimmo and Blair who was present, and w o may be con sidered an expert, expressed the opinion that the principle of the thing would work well here, and he believed that had the mouth of the pit been baiter protected the silo would have been a complete success. Taking into consideration, how ever, the loss of c-op from the depreda tions of birds and vermin and the waste involved in stacking, and also the expenses <>f so managing the crop, the loss and waste in the silo pits from the circnm slances pointed out is probably less than would have been the case if stacked. And it opens up to one dairy farmers a valuable practical lesson of providing winter food. Experiments in this have been previously conducted in this colony by Messrs Royse, Stead, and Co., in clay pits, and also by Councillor Cairns, who need old barrels for the purpose, but via believe Dr Ooughtrey’a experiments aro the first ones on a 1. rge scale In this eoloqy. Mea rs Nimmo and Blair intend ex hibiting a sample from Dr Coughtrey’a ensilage pit at the forthcoming poult y 1 show, and stockowners should take ad ' vantage cf that opportunity of testing the product of this silo experiment.

HOSPITALS AND CHARITABLE AID.

' [From the Mail.] There will be great disappointment throughout this and other similarly situated districts at the refusal of the Government and the House to accede to proposals for autonomy in the matter of the administration of hospitals and charitable aid, and in the case of Ash burton that disappointment is intensi fied by the fact that our members were so near to the attainment of success. ! \Ve confess that we altogether fail to see any justification for the stand taken in this matter by the Premier, as if only the object of making the districts as large as possible be kept in view then it clearly follows that the boun daries of the districts should be coterminous with those of the pro vincial districts, or still better with those of each Island. When the original Act was introduced last year, the large districts proposed were avowedly intended to be the basis of a

local government scheme, the Goven ment indicating an intention to add I the powers and duties of the Boards t subsequently investing them wit authority over other matters and er trusting them with other functions tha those appertaining to the administr; tion of the Hospital Act. But thi scheme was wholly departed from b permitting numerous subdivisions c the districts as proposed to be made I and this being so, it is not just ;iha autonomy should be now refused ti other parts of the colony which an able to show good reasons for demand ing it. And if any district can shov good reasons, clearly the Ashburtor district can ; we have our own hospital and charitable institutions, and can administer them much more effectively on the spot than we can do as a partol a Board sitting at Christchurch fifty miles away', and we protest against the present state ol things as highly inconvenient and unnecessarily expen sive. The whole case was very ably placed before the House by Mr Walker, and to the arguments adduced by that gentleman there was absolutely no reply other than the objection of the Government to separation. But with the whole of the Ministers, and necessarily a large proponion of the Ministerial party, against him, it is no wonder that Mr Walker failed of suc cess ; indeed, the only wonder is that under the circumstances he so nearly attained it. We understand that it is in contemplation to petition the Legisla tive Council on the subject, and it will be well that this appeal should he - li ied as a last resource, though we fear that for the present session it will result in failure. If so, however, we must not be discouraged. Our case is a good one, and there is little doubt that a further amending Bill will be accessary next year, when another :ffort will be made, and will we hope )c crowned with success.
