Minister had already obtained political
eminence, Hugh Miller attempted, but
fruitlessly, to draw the attention of the 1
British public to the work of deetruo- 1
lion that was going on. He eloquently
proclaimed that “while the law is ban

fourteen years, the penalty of deep

Money That No One Owns,
A curious fact shown by the United
States Treasury’s balance sheet at the
elose of this veirr’s businewis that there
Is nearly $20,000,000 of outstanding
Government securitioe on which the
money la due and uncalled for. On all
at these interest has been dosed, and
there ean be no possible reasons for the
bdldevs to delay preventing them for re
drawn lion. Boms of them have been
doe for many years. Ou some of them
are duo largo sums of interest, which
have not been called for, e« that the la
bereat on these aJone amounts to $347,.
000. What haft become of those docu
ments and why they are not presented
to something no one can find out. Some
of them matured a half a century ago,
and are still unheard from and unpro
seated.
Os the old debt, which matured prior
to January 1, 1887, there Is still out
standing >67,665 of principal and sۥ!,-
174 of interest. Os the Texan indemnity
stock, which matured twenty years ago,
there is $20,000 yet outstanding not
presented. Os the 6-20’s of ’62, which
matured more than ten tears ago, and
on which interest ceased at that time,
there is still out*tanding £335,20Q.
Os tho 10-40’a of ’64, which matured five
{ears ago, there U yet unpresented
178,850, with interest of $15,460 also
due and unpaid. Os the six per cent, oon-
Sols, which matured two years earlier,
there was $276,600 yet unpresqnted, and
of the rix per ceht. consols matured in
1870, there to over half a million dollars

1887 and 1868. over $200,000 are still
out and uncalled for, w hile of the 7-ACs
of the same year, which matured more
than fifteen years ago, $186,000 has

Pumpkins and Potatoes for Cattle,
A reader asks “What is the value ot
1 potatoes, either cooked or raw, as com
pared with corn, and does it pay to
raise pumpkins for cattle?”
The circumstances of each feeder
will determine, to a great extent,, the
question as to whether or not it will pay
to grow pumpkins, or other kinds of
food for cattle. But inasmuch as the
cost of raising pumpkins is generally
confined to the planting of the seeds in
the field with corn, and to the labor of
gathering and cutting the crop for the
stock, it is not likely that tnucn loss will
result from raising plenty of them and
feeding freely to catQe. That they may
form an excellent addition to the diet of
milch cows is too well known to require
stating. That great benefit to fattening
stock will follow feeding with pump
kins, as from feeding roots, can not be
doubted. And as it seems to be a settled
fact that the farmers, of the Middle and
Western States will not “fuss” with
raising roots for farm stock, as long as
maize remains the great Staple fteding
crop, it may be well for them to grow
pumpkins as a good substitute, costing
little or nothing. But it will scarcely
pay to do as thousands have done, pro
duce a large crop of pumpkins and
leave them to freeze and rot in the field,
while the stock gnaws a half starved
existence from the straw-stack and from
storm-bleached cornstalks. In feeding
pumpkins it is better to remove the
seeds, as in considerable quantities they
oct as a diuretic.
Extended experiments have been
made with potatoes in feeding, but it
would be difficult to say how profitable ;
they would be as food for cattle in '
different regions and under vary ing eir- '
cumstances. Scientific analyses can do
something to help decide the question:
but it has been found that the practical
results do not agree with those which
such analyses would lead us to expect.
The market value of potatoes and other
foods, the cost of production, etc., must
be considered in reaching a decision.
It is quite clear that with good corn
selling at ten cents per bushel, and po
'atoes worth twenty-five cents, as has
><*en the case in the West, the latter
-mid not be a profitable feeding crop. |
•ut when potatoes sell slowly at ten ‘
■nts per bushel and corn at fifty cents,
• u difference might be in favor of po

Bow Su«ar Cone Grows.
Sugar cane grows during about five
and a half months. It makes its ap
pearance sav on the Ist of April, and by
Uie 15th of (September it has done reach
ing upward. In that time it grows or
ought to grow twelve feet, counting the
white joints and the top flag or tuft. On
the Ist of July it is some four feet high,
bo that from then until t4>e 15th of Sep
tember itgrows ninety-six inches. During
August, however, it reaches the largest
rate of increa&e, the ordinary growth
during that month under favoralfie con
ditions being forty inches. August to ;
known as the “growing month.’ 7 It is
then that cultivation is over and tho '
ground thoroughly shaded by the foli
age. It is then that the daily showers
stimulate tb® process of vegetation until
one can almost IxsTally “see it” shoot
upward. It is clear, still nights
during this month that you can hear
that Tight cracking sound all over a
healthy field of cano. It Is the month
when, instead of growing tlirco-fourths
of an Inch per day, good cane ought <a
rrow one meh and a half.—AL IX
