Observations on the Ensilage. 



It will be seen that the ensilage did not settle at a uniform 

 rate, as might be expected from the constant pressure ap- 

 plied, and the variations are greater than can be attributed 

 to errors of observation, as the measurements were taken 

 with the greatest exactness, and they were repeatedly veri- 

 fied by re-measurement. Frequent examinations of the 

 edges of the cover failed to detect any indication of obstruc- 

 tion by pressure on the walls of the silo. 



Temperature. 

 The temperature of the ensilage on the 9th inst. was the 

 same as on the previous day, before the cover was put on
