Report of an Experiment. Any information on this subject will probably be interesting to our readers, especially while there seers to be a difference of ojnnion as to it merits. The following experiment was made by the writer ancl his brother, in Eng land, in the hope of deciding the real value of the system, and aiding anyone thinking of trying it themselves : — I have long looked for some dis covery which should ensure the farmer against the heavy losses regularly sus tained by the bad harvesting of forage crops consequent on our uncertain climate, and often thought that some method of preserving grass in its green state would best meet this end ; and some ten or twelve years since I made some small experiments by hermetic ally sealing grass pressed into tins, and should have carried the trials further but was discouraged by the condition in which it came out, and the bad smell given off, through I now find that it had some resemblance to ensil age. I was delighted, .however, two years since, when I first heard of M. Goffart's trials and success in France ,and those of his followers in America, and I determined to try it at once. Last- year the Earl of Whar'ncliffe kindly offered to build us a silo, and we came to the conclusion that the easiest and the cheapest method would be to .make it in an existing stone barn. We however selected rather an old one, and excavated the rock in the bottom to a depth of about six feet, in order to get sufficient depth for the pit. From the bottom. of this excava we built ; thin ■ inner wall s — exceptin g in the front, which was very bad and was rebuilt — filled with grout or thin mortar, our object being to get solid air-proof and waterproof walls, and also straight and .prependicular ones, as the old ones were not so. We thus saved the expense of building an en tirely new barn and roof, and cattle shed or lean-to which is attached. The walls are faced with cement, and the floor is constructed by laying a thin corer of two or ■ three inches, of lime concrete coated with cement, and the whole whitewashed two or three times with cement without sand.
