NEW YORK, April 2, 1888. 

 S. M. COLCORD, Esq.: 



Dear Sir, Your favor of 2Qth ult. at hand. 

 I feel very much interested in the discussion 

 of the ensilage question. It seems to me that 

 the time is at hand for pushing the discussion, 

 and developing your views as to the proper 

 way of preserving corn and clover for future 

 use. I believe you are the best posted man in 

 the country, both practically and scientifically, 

 and therefore able to educate the farmers as 

 to their interests in this one matter. 



The question clearly is, Will cold storage or 

 hot storage make the best article ? The more 

 it is discussed, the better for you as well as the 

 farmers. Unquestionably, cold storage proc- 

 esses are the best, and ^will produce the best 

 results.
