The questíon of preserving green fudder in trenohes for winter oon su nipt ion i' miug serioua proportio ia in t ai p( untry. I' p to tbe present, green i', ol ís servedonly for tho support of a ie ppndiug the summer and eariy aui inu. It is quite cjear tluit uiaizc, beet ie. e , rape in flowtr, rye gra, n faot aü i. rHga planta with coniparutivelj tin k sterns, can be conserved very wel] in trenchge, aul beoome thus a most ust-fi idjunci (o winter feeding; that th y beneflcially prepare the 81 il miu ciops, alluw the number of stock ii erensed, and 01 i ttly e greiter Bu-pply of fannyaid manure to be produoed. Then snoh green ciopa ara Ie83 expensive to cultívale thun ropts, and permit of more land tobedevoted t Br product1. Hitherto t was necessary to consume green foddor at once; now itcarj 1 einagjazined in a freth stute, without any preliniinaiy drying, and in a utauner thai dispenses with out cfliees and kindred harvestiug.
