“Meal Feeding ami Animal Digestion
D the title of anew work by Linus VV
Milier. Mr Miller is an cxjierienced
dairyman, and gives the results of lus
long experience in a comprehensive form.
The gi-t of Mr. Miller’s system is the
feeding of cows duiing winter with three
quarts of Indian meal per day. He an
uria that this amount of good Indian
me.d, fed under proper conditions, is
m 're than thei quivalent for all the good
hav a cow can he coaxed to eat—that the
animal does not need to have its stomach
distended with a great hulk of woody
fibre, which imposes u|>on the system a
large arneunt of extra mechanical work
both in the processes of digestion and re
mastication —that, in brief, bulk in food
is not advantageous, but to the contrary
and that nutriment in lood governs the
condition and health of the animal, and
that condsn-ation of nutriment is true
economy. Mr. Miller has conducted
physiological investigations into the
functionsol the four stomachs of the cow,
whence it appears that meal follows the
same course as herbaceous lood, and
stays loi gcr in the rumen than coarse
food, while it alto digests more thor
oughly than when the energies of the
stomach are divided between meal and
coarse herbage.
Whatever may I* the correct theory
in this regard, results of actual practice
appear to bear out Mr. Miller's views.
The report of a committee, appointed to
examine into the system by the western
New York dairymen’s association, shows
the following facts: The examination
was conducted upon Mr. Miller’s herd of
Chatauqua county native cows, the aver
age live weigtit of which was 600 pounds.
This herd were fed exclusively li|>on
corn-meal 'or seven weeks, i ach animal,
accordi ur to its digestive capacity, mak
ing an average of alamt three quarta of
meal per day 'or each cow. The animals
did not ruminate, did not manifest so
much desire for food as cows fed on liny
ahiiie in tbe usual way, u little less than
they will cat, showed no signs of unrest
or suffering, and at the time of going
liHek to hay, the cows iiad neither lost
nor gained flesh. Alter returning to bay,
their stomachs filled and ruminating
went cm normally, healuhy calves were
dropped, and when turned to grass the
animals took on llcsh faster than those
wintered in the usual ways. Their daily
yield of milk was twnty pounds three
ounces, or one pound eleven ounces |>er
cow more than that of any other herd
sent to the same eheese hietory.
As regards the economy of meal feed
ing, Mr. Miller points out that one j
bushel o corn, ground and tolled, will j
last an ordinary sized cow of 1100 pounds j
weight twelve days, and is equal to 210
pounds of hay. Corn at sixty cents per '
bushel is therefore the equivalent ot hay
at JO per ton 01 2,000 pounds, ami where
it can lie had ut that rate the cost of
wiuteiiiig the animal will range from $7
to $lO, according to coldness and length
of the foddering season. Hut liny ns a
rule, costs at least. $lO per ton, and
frequently much more. Hence, the es
timated saving by meal feeding is placed
ut Imm ©6 to S2O per animal, according
to the respective piicea oi corn and hay.

An intelligent farmer in low* gives to
the public bin experience in tlie follow
ing lr*t r:
My herd of h >ws is never smaller than
100 Mid at time* 260, Thin lor the hint
six yeurt*; previous to that time, my
herd waa troin 70 to 80 head; 1 Hell all
1 col raise, except a lew March pin* Unit
couie late; tliwe 1 make pork ot, and
keep the young howh of the same litter
to breed for the next year, and sell in
Januaiy aud February already bred. 1
have in all this term ol years never lout
a hog by disease; I have more or baa
pigs killed every year by having too
many in a bunch. I have been
surrounded with neighbors who have
lost heavily almost every year since 1
lagan; they come to my farms (1 bava
two in operation), and say: ‘How is it
that your hogs do not die with the
hog cholera ?'* They want to know il
it is in the breed or what is the reason.
1 always tell them it is the keep, the
care, the attention aud never putting
lings in noats. My keep is bluegrass
• over and timothy, and llrazilian
artichokes, corn, oats, bran, shorts and
barley. Now to particularize somewhat
with your pigs, i have them come in
April, May and June (600 came this
hist year, and a few came scattering along
after these months ) I put them on
soaked corn and oats as soon as they can
cat, aud when the pigs are large enough
to lollow the sow, I put the sow and
pigs on the grasses, where they run until
the 25th ol September to the Ist of
October, when I put them in the fields
of artichokes (by this time the pigs
have learned what their noses a re made lor.
After a lew days you can leave
oil all other feed, and the hogs and nigs
ill do finely, growing aud filling out in
g'xsl shape, getting ready tor corn or any
• ther Iced that may be intended for them
1 > fatten on. The hogs will do welt on
’ he artichokes until it treezesup (making
their own living by rooting up and har
' sting them.) This fall feed will last
until about the tenth to the fifteenth ol
December, putting the itock in fine,
healthy condition for the winter, and
<• ws fur breeding. Then, again, in the
M ring, soon as it begins to thaw out, 1
put my hogs back oa the field, o’ art chokes,
where they are kept untd the fifteenth
ot June or the first of July, making a
? '-t clas* living. . nd Gearing themselves
~i all intestine w.vtus. or stomach worms,
which eau t all of ulceraud
stomach and intestines. When handled
in this way yon will find in the spring ol
the year, ana frequently in the fall, large
quantities of worms lying discharged
after eating artichokes for eight or ten
days. Sows suckle finely and do well on
this kind of keeping. In winter my hogs
go into winter quarters in small numbers
in a division—say four to five head—in
a place. If there is a single hog or pig
that looks a “ little off,” to use the ex
pression of. tradesmen—that is. if he
refuses his feed—l put him in a hospital,
where, in a day or two, he is in good
shape for his appearance at headquarters.
Every farmer knows that hogs will
devour artichokes with great eagerness,
and the cost of providing them is scarcely
anything.
Wool ns a Ntiiple.
California receives annually from the
clouds about half the quantity of rain
that falls in Tennessee, and has also
about half the grazing advantagesof this
slat;, yet California sells 50.(D0 000
pounds of wool a year worth $8,000,000
or more. Several of her wool growers
own each from 20,000 to 40,000 sheep. Ten
nessee has 23,000,000 acres of land, over
which the plow lias never passed, nor
sheep trod, which products nothing as an
annual harvest, sava a fair crop of county
and state taxes for the owners of the land
to pay. The good land that pays these
annual taxes is not over 5,000,000 acres,
all told, in Tennessee. lieyond all ques
tion, to support something iike a million
jMopie and pay all taxes must draw
m-vercly on the natural fertility of the
5.000,000 acres under cultivation. Now,
give Tennessee 5,000,000 other acreß in
the best grasses, stocked with sheep
mainly, ami our agricultural income will
be more than doubled, while no man,
woman or child will need an ounce more
food in a year than is now needed. In
plain words, we are, as a state, too poor
to hold 23,000,000 acres of unproductive
land; and we put the price of this wild
land too high by half to immigrants
Irom Europe and the northern states.
This is a great mistake.
The writer lias just sold nn improved
farm to an immigrant from Indiana on
eleven years’ credit; acting on the prin
ciple that it is tietter to'get annual in
terest on tlie value of the property than
to hold the land. The purchaser has
bought 125 ewes, and will probably raise
more lambs than lie lias old sheep. These
lambs in a few months will bring more
money than the ewes cost; while their
fleeces will pay the purchaser a large
profit. Gettingafarm wholly on credit
enables the buyer to use his means in
tlie purchase of ihc lust sheep, breeding
sews and pregnant heifers, to transform
grass into currency. What we preach
that we practice, looking to the good of
the whole community.

The removal ot the “wheat belt”
westward is strikingly exhibited by the
trade ol Cleveland Only thirty-five
years ago she shipped more wheat than
any other port on the great lakes, Buffalo
alone excepted. Massillon, now scarcely
known in the wheat trade, was the chief
point of original receipt, and received a
large amount of wheat than any other
port in tlie world from ihe actual pro
cers. Now both Cleveland and Masillou
draw a large preportion of their bread
stuff* and grain from tlie northwest,
tlie wheat producing region takes its
way ; hut this condition of affairs, al
though it will last lor many years, will
not lie |>erii.anent. With improved
agriculture, wheat will again he grown
in large quantities where it is now neg
lected ; and the increased settlement ol
the west will, after a certain point is
readied, provide consumers nearer the
places of production in that region.—

A stock-grower, writing to ihe New
York club, gives his mode of destroying
lice on cattle. He says : “ 1 destroy them
with brine; any kind of salt water will
do it. I find two kinds of lice, tlie blue
lice, and I think tlie other is hen lice. I
tried red precipitate one year; it killed
the lice, two yearlings and a two-year
old. But washing tlie cattle with brine
is easier, and they get into the habit of
licking one another, ami are more gentle
toward each other,”

known timothy seed to be as cheap as at
present. He exports considerable quan- ,
lities of various field seeds to Europe, J
and sr vs by the car-load lie could sell
timothy as cheap as $1.45 per bushel.
Its cheapness is owing to the extraordi
nary yield this year and the large area
under cultivation.

Poverty is the mother of children
The small boy grows rank and abundant
in the teueuieut'house. and whenever
the workman strikes, and thereby cuts

natural results in giving an enormous
impulse to the small boy crop. It would
be listless to conceal that at present the

Tlie Earthquake at New Madrid
and Rcefoot Lake in 1811.
Extract from a letter from Capt. John
Davis to his friend in Sweet Springs,
Va , dated Natchez, M. TANARUS., Jan. 5, 18J2.
It will be seen the celebrated earthquake
occurred at New Madrid,JMo., sixty-five
years ago: “We arrived at night on the
fifteenth of December, at the Twenty
fifth island, and on the sixteenth, at ten
minutes past two o clock in tlie morning,
we were surprised by the greatest emotion
that can possibly be supposed of the boat,
which I could compare to nothing more
picturesque than that of a team of horses
running away with a wagon over the
most rocky road inourpartof thecountry
There were f*rty boats in the company,
and each thought his boat adrift and
running over the sawyers ; but a man on
hoard a boat lashed to us hinted it to be
an earthquake. An old navigator of the
river just above hailed us, and said it
was occasioned by the hanks falling in.
We were under a bluff-bank, which im
mediately cast off, and fell in about a
quarter of a mile, which drew us into the
current on the right side of the island,
which was much the shallowest, where
we staid till day ; but in the intermediate
time we experienced about fifty partial
shocks, which shook our boats with great
agitation. At twelve minutes past seven
we heard a tremendous distant noise,and
in a few seconds the boats, island and
mainland became perfectly convulsed,the
trees twisted and lashed together, the earth
in all quarters was sinking, and the water
issued from the center of the Twenty
fifth isle, just on our left, and
came rushing down its side in
torrents, and on our right there fell at
once thirty or forty acres of land—
some say three hundred acres; but as 1
was till then perfectly collected, and,
although then much alarmed, was less
so than any other person in our company.
The shocks at this time became frequent
at about every fifteen minutes; the water
rose, from the first shock till about eight
o’clock that day, seven or eight feet per
jiendicular, and the current ran seven or
eight miles per hour, as we ran from
Twenty-fifth island and landed on Flow
er island, a distance of thirty-five miles,
in five hours and twenty live'minutes,
and lost half an hour endeavoring to
make a landing at the lower end of Nine
Mile reach, which [dace and the Ten
Mile reach were in perfect commotion.
Tlie logs, which had sprung up from the
bottom of the river, were so thick that
it appeared almost impossible for a boat
to find a passage. There were three
boats sunk, two of which belonged to
Mr. James Atwell, and laden from Ken
tucky, iu value about three thousand
dollars; the other a family boat. The
people were all saved except one man,
who belonged to the family boat. Anoth
er had liked to have, been lost from one
of tlie boats that was stove, lie jumped
n the sawyer that staved the boat, and
continued there about four hours, and
was fortunately taken into another boat
The logs and roots we passed had the
sand and mud on them, which probably
for many years lay in the bottom of the
river, and wlii*li gave tlie appearance ot
timbered fields from Nine to Ten Mile
reach, so that it appeared as if the order
of nature had been reversed. V." ■ expe
rienced frequent shocks of earthquakes
for eight days, and I have heard of no
place more convulsed than where I
was.”— Cincinnati Commercial.
Torture in India.
The following facts, elicited at the trial
at the recent sessions at North Are st of a
case in which five natives were charged
with having murdered five of their caste
people, show that torture is not yet
extinct in that part of the world. The
prisoners’ fields were robbed of a small
quantity of cumboo, and the deceased
and three others being suspected of hav
ing a hand in the robbery, they were by
the orders of the first prisoner, who was
a village reddy (headman), seized and
tied, some to the trunks of trees and
others to large stones. In the first case
the feet oi tlie unfortunate victims were
tied above ground with their faces
exposed to the scorching rays of the sun,
with their hands tied above their heads.
The whole five having been firmly hound,
cold water was, hv the orders of the first
prisoners, poured upon the ligatures,
with the object of tightening tno bonds
and thereby increasing the suffering of
the suspected men. After this the first
prisoner poured scalding water over the
hands aud arms of the sufferers. The
object of this was to extort a confession
ot their guilt, and a statement implicat
ing others. After the men had suffered
excruciating agony for eight hours, and
were released, it was found one of them
was dead, while the others were unable
to move ! Two of them died in the hos
pital, whither they were sent for treat
ment ; oue expired in his viliage, while
the fifth was able te give his evidence
before the committing magistrate, but
never rallied from the effects of the
torture, and died after the case was com
mitted to the court ol sessions. The
medical evidence was sickening in its
details, as it described how the arms,
bauds aud lower extremities ol the vic
i tirns had become gangrenous, and how
; the fingers had rotted and dropped off
The authority and influence a reddy
i usually has in a village went in a great
1 measure to deter the spectators of this
wholesale murder from interfering on
l<ehalf of the tortured men. The court
convicted the first, second, fourth aud ,
fifth prisoners, and sentencrit the first to
death, and the others to transportation
lor life. — Timtz, in India.
.. Great doubts have often been thrown
on alleged cases of burial alive, but the
London Lancet mentions a recent and
undoubted case at Naples. The grave
in which a woman had been interred
having been opened tar the reception of
another body revealed the clearest proof
of this dreadful circumstance. The poor
creature had torn her clothes to pieces
and even fractured her limbs in her efforts
to release herself. The doctor who
signed the certificate and the municipal
officer who sanctioned the interment
have been sent to jail for three months
for “involuntary manslaughter.
Fight Between a Sea-Lion and a
Sturgeon.
The angler sometimes hooks a salmon
that has had a piece bitten out of the
shoulder by the rapacious seal, and cer
tainly the seal lives by masticating fish
in whole or in part. It is rare, however,
that a combat between the fish and the
mammal is witnessed, even on the Oak
land Kerry route, which, to the natural
ists’ eyes, is so prolific in incident,
ranging from the gobbling of garbage by
the gulls to tbedipping of divers and the
pop and roll of tbe porpoises. Yesterday
morning the passengers on the ten o’clock
boat from Oakland witnessed a tough
fight between a surgeon and a sea-lion.
The former had swain away from the nu
tritive mud of the San Joaquin in quest
of something to suck in the bay, and its
flippered enemy had entered the bay on a
prowl. One wanted to eat and the other
to escape. * The seal saw its chance for a
magnificent meal on what is too often sold
as sea-bass in chowder, and the sturgeon
was painfully conscious that nature ought
to have endowed it with shark’s teeth and
the capacity to crush like the squid.
Fish and mammal came to the surface,
the former to breathe and the latter be
cause it couldn't stay down. The seal
bit viciously at the gill openings of its
adversary, and showed superior fmessee in
planning the campaign, while the stur
geon lashed the water powerfully with its
unequally lobed tail, and accasionally
administered a stunning blow to the seal.
Blood flowed profusely, and the water
was dyed for yards around, but eventually
the sturgeon yielded up the ghost, being
seized unluckily by the tail and paralyzed
in movement by having itsonly propeller
nearly bitten off. Thus wounded and
circumvented, it speedily desisted from
battle, and the seal administered the coup
dc (jracc and towed his dinner beneath
the waves. The spectacle was an exciting
one. —San Francisco Call.
Groat Kiiniiing' Match in Eng
land.
A running match took place December
11 at Lilliebridge, London, between Geo.
Hazaei, an English long-distance runner,
and Acliiie Bargossi, who is styled the
Italian champion, the distance being 30
miles, and the stake S2OO. There is only
oue instance on record of so long a dis
tance as that of 30 miles being run, and
that is as long back as 1853, when J.
Rhodes, a Wolverhampton man, ran 30
miles at Birmingham in 3:20:00. The
betting was two to one on Hazaei, who is
a thin, hatchet faced man, with long,
well-shaped legs. Achille Bargossi, on the
othrr hand, ia a short, dark-haired little
man, of whose nationality there can be no
doubt, and who, immediately after start
ing, was greeted with ironical cheers and
cries ol “Go it, ice creams.” It -oon be
nam# apparent that the Italian, who is
reported to have run 50 miles without
stopping, was notin it with his opponent.
Hazaei ran ins first five miles in 28:36
while the Dalian took 30:36, Hazaei hav
ing lapped him (there being three laps to
tb mile), after going four and a half
miles. Jiargossi was again lapped after
going eight miles, and a third time after
Hazaei had gone eleven miles. Hazaei
ran Ids ten miles in 57:37, and his eleven
miles in 1:3:33. Hazaei continued to gain
and gain till, alter running within a few
yards of fifteen miles in 1:41:50, the Ital
ian gave up, liazael at the time having
gone close upon 17J miles. Hazaei, how
ever, continued on, and as there had
been some betting that he would run his
30 miles in three and three-quarters
hours, it was thought he would have fin
ished the distance, but after running 20
miles in the wonderful good time of 1:57:27
Hazaei stopped, of course receiving the
stakes.
The Telephone Extortion.
No sooner has this much-talkedof in
vention passed from the experimental into
the practical stage, if iudeed it has so
passed, than its adoption to any extent
lias been rendered extremely doubtful by
the prohibitoiy price proposed to be
charged for its use. We have always un
derstood that the telephone could be pro
duced in quantities for a ridiculously
small sum, at a few shillings in fact: and
coking at the apparatus itself there seems
no reason to doubt that such is the case.
It surprises us, therefore, to find that the
price of a set of instruments for short cir-
cuit is twenty-five pounds to purchase,
and five pounds per annum to rent, and
for long circuits thirty-five pounds and
ten pounds respectively. Each set of
instruments consisted a pairof telephones
and r call bell —“ the equipment for one
end of a communication ;” and, inasmuch
as ‘’one end ” of a telegraph wire is about j
as useful as one end of a rope, with the !
other in the sea, to a drowning man, or
one side of a bridge to a retreating army i
it follows that an expenditure of some- :
thing between fifty and [seventy pounds i
mu.-t be incurred before one isin a position
to ’‘join on ” to a wire which may of itself j
have cost more than the instruments.
The purchase money paid for any set of !
instruments secures a license to use them i
•'only for the purposes specified within j
the license,” so that even for the high I
price paid there is by no means absolute
freedom in the use of the instruments, j
which, on the generally accepted maxim
that man may do what he likes with his
own, are little better than “ leasehold ” ,
property.— Ismiion Times.

A Quaint Legend of the Bain
bow.
According to the popular bejief' in Ger
many the extremities of a rainbow al
ways toucli streams, whence it draws
water by means of two large golden
dishes. That is why it rains for three
days after the appearance of a rainbow,
because the water must fall again on the
earth. Whoever arrives at the right mo
ment on the Bpot where the rainbow is
drinking can take posession of the golden
diib, which reflects all the colors of the
rainbow; but if nobody is there, the
dishes are drawn again up into theclouds.
Some say that the rainbow always lets
the dish fall. This once happened at
Keutllngen, in Suabia. It broke in
several pieces, but the finder received an
hundred gulden for it. At Tubingen
people used to run to the end of the
rainbow, which appeared to be resting
over the Xecker or the Steinack, to secure
the golden dish. Usually it is considered
wrong to sell the dish, which ought to be
kept as an heirloom in the family, for it
brings good luck. A shepherd in the
Suabian alps once found such a dish, and
he never afterwards lost a sheep. A un
fortunate native of Heubacb, who sold
the treasure at a high price, was struck
dumb on the spot. Small round gold
coins marked with a cross or star, are
frequently found in Suabia, and the
peasants declare that these were man
ufactured from rainbow dishes by the
Homans when they invaded Germany.
In the Black forest the rainbow used a
golden goblet. The Servians have a
theory that passing beneath a rainbow
changes the sex.
When a double rainbow is seen, Sua
bian peasants say the devil would like to
imitate the rainbow, but he can not suc
ceed. The Est'nonians called the rainbow
“ the thunder of God’s sickle.” A theory
existed in the middle ages that the rain
bow would cease to appear a certain num
her of years before the last jugement
and Hugo von Trimber, in an old Ger
man poem, mentions forty years as the
prescribed time.
.. It was at a charity ball; the girl was
pretty and exquisitely dressed. She
said, “ Now, Mr. , don’t you put
my name in the paper, nor tell what I
had on. I have worn this dress once
before, and it’s horribly old. I was
going to have a French dress from
Worth’s, but it didn’t get here, so I had
to wear this. Now, mind, don’t,put my
name in the paper, but, if you do, send
me six.”
..Two writers (theatrical critics, of
course) were quarreling. “ Your articles
are the laughing stock of tae town.”
“ The time will come when yours will
be.” “When?” “When somebody
read them.”
Death In Ilia Favorite Kobe.
The mortuary statistics of the whole civ
ilized world show that about one fifth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
a greater ratio to the whole number than that
of any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. Its increasing prevalence
has led to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable. Every year hundreds of these
sufl’erers seek, in the sunny retreats of
Florida or the dry atmosphere of Colorado,
for health—and find only a grave. The in
fluence of the atmosphere—the only re
j medial agent that either Florida or Colorado
can nftord the consumptive-is at best only
palliative. The cure of consumption depenis
upon two essential conditions: Ist, the ar
rest of the abnormal breaking down of the
tissues, which prevents emaciation, and 2d,
the restoration of healthy nutrition, in order
to stop the formation of tuberculous matter
Fulfill these conditions, and consumption is
as curable as fever. To fulfill these con
ditions the required remedy must increase
the appetite, favor the assimilation of food,
and eurichtiie blood, thus retarding the de
velopment of tubercules. To accomplish
this, a more powerful alterative than Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has never
been discovered. At the same time it soothes
the irritation of the nervous system pro*
duced by violent coughing, which in its
turn so often leads to more serious results.
The use of “ expectorants ” in consumption
is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercules already formed, they produce
yet more serious results by inflaming and
destroying the sound and healthy tissues.
Consumption requires a remedy that will
soothe while it relieves; harsh medicines
but add fuel to the flame that alre idy threat
ens to consume the system. The Golden
Medical Discovery fulfills these conditions,
and has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered to allay and arrest consump
tion.

The regular secretion a nd flow of the gas
trie juices and of the bile, which the use of
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially to ttie
restoration of health, when the system is
disordered. Food is not digested in the
dyspeptic stomach, because the gastric fluid
is deficient, superabundant or vitiated ; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels con
stipated because the supply of bile is inade
quate or misdirected. The Bitters rectifies
all this, and removes every’ill consequence
of non-assimilation and bilious irregularity.
Furthermore, it stimulates the action of the
kidneys, by which impurities are, so to
speak, strained from the blood, and any
tendeucy in the urinary organs to grow
sluggish aud disordered counteracted.
Whether it be used as a means oT regulat
ing gastric or bilious secretion, and reliev
ing the overloaded bowels, or to promote
complete, and therefore healthful, urination,
Hostetter’s Bitters may be relied upon with
confidence to accomplish the end in view.

Caution to the Public.
To avoid imposition, purchasers of Waltham
Watches will observe that every genuine Watch
whether gold or silver, bears our ow n t rademark on
both case and movements.
Gold cases are stamped “A. W. C 0..” and guaran
tee certificates accompany them. Silver cases are
stamped ‘‘Am. Watch Cos., Waltham, Mass., Coin
Silver,” or ** Am. Watch Cos., Waltham. Mafts.,Ster
ling Silver.” according tc quality, and are accom
panied by guarantee certificate signed It. E Rob
bins, Tieasurer. The name "Waltham ” is plainly
engraved upon all movements, irrespective of all
other distinguishing maiks.
This caution is rendered necessary by reason of
the fact that ourcaas are frequently separated from
our movements and put upon worthless movements
of other makers, and vice bersa, thus affecting inju
riously the performance of the Watches, and viti
ating our guarahty, which is intended only to cover
our complete Watches, wholly made by ns.
