WHY CUT FEED Is BEsT.-At re-
cent meeting of the Farmers Club
the old question of cutting feed was
pretty thoroughly discussed. N. c..
Meeker, the agricultural editor of the
Tribune, observed that nothing could
be gained by cutting what was not
good feed before that operation
Some seem to think that by cutting
wheat straw and the butts of corn
stalks, and adding meal to induce
animals to eat the mixture, they gain,
but the idea is a delusion, for some
thing cannot come out of nothing.
| DR.. Trimble remarked that it was
absurd to think Que can save food by
putting it in another shape without
adding more nutriment. If horse
needs twenty pounds of nourishmen1
in uncut hay he could not see how
ten pounds of cut hay would answer
Whereupon the Rural New Yorker
replies to these theoretical farmers
and hits the nail squarely on th'
head.
What is the truth in this question
which causes the doctors to disagree,
so widely? Simply this: Cutting
fodder does not add more nutrimen
t to it but changes its mechanical con
dition, and enables stock to consum
it in less time and thus have more 70
rest and digestion. This is a value
;. bic consideration for hard worke,
horses, but not as great an one TO
n animals that chew their cud.
/ Again, cut hay or straw slight
e moistened and sprinkled with groun
6 grain is much more palatable, an
stock prefer it to unmixed and whol
food, and maintain more vigorous al
n petites than if confined to the unpr
.. pared food. A baked potato, wit
,e salt, pepper and butter, is dish tn;
" hungry king wouldn't turn from; b,
: beggar would despise the meal

COLORING BUTTER.-When yellow
tinted butter is desired in winter with
out the use of anatto, which is not a
desirable commodity IL butter, car
rots may be substituted. Take two
large sized carrots, clean thoroughly
then with the knife scrape off the yell
low exterior, leaving the white pith
soak the yellow part in boiling milk
for ten or fifteen minutes. Strain boil
ing hot into the cream; this gives the
cream the desired temperature, color'
!, it nicely, and adds to the sweetness

A Poor MANS CHANCE.-In Viii

in Burlington in 1909, there is an &C

month. This seems like very poo

ADDITIONAL ArrRAcrIoSs-A DEMO-
CRATIC Observation-Disclosures is talk that
the Board of Regents of the University
are thinking of inviting the Rev. Pstro-
leum V. Nasty to act as Chaplain and
to occupy the chair of Belles-Lettres.
They have also under consideration the
election Of Deacon Pogram Al Professor
Of Constitutional Law, and the removal
Of Bascom's grocery from the Confedrit
Y Roads, witch is in the Staff Nv Ken
lucky" to the immediate vicinity Of the
institution. As the institution is to be
altogether Democratic in its economy,
a contiguous whisky shop is thought to
be indispensable. We had hoped that
Parson Fitzgerald would obtain the The
illogical Department, together with the
superintendent Of the race-course and
rat-pit, and W. fear that the election Of
Professor Pogram to tho Law Depart
ment will disappoint the laudable ambi-
ton Of one OF the Regents but it is
necessary to have the concern wholly
Democratic, so as not to e~xasperate cur
Southern brethren, or to "eScite the
President" As Mrs. Jefferson Davis once
observed. 1t is understood that DR..
Nasby's lectures, which have been orig
inally published in the Toledo Blade
heretofore, will be transferred to the

Tho Bowels OF the Earth,

W. Frank Stewart Gays, in a recent
communication to the San Jose Patriot,
that oyer since tho great earthquake
shock many of the people of San Jose
Valley are in dread lest the ground may
open and swallow them up. He writes
to allsy these fears, and in SO doing,
says:
"At the depth of from 50 to 800 feet
below the surface of the lands surround
ing the southern end of the bay of San
Francisco, there is o fresh water lake,
or basin, filled with antediluyian logs,
bones of extinct animals, gravel, sand,
and fresh water. Immediately overly
ing this subterranean lake is a sort Of
lid or crust of blue clay, which is ex-
tremely tenacious and impervious to air
or water. Above this stratum Of tough
clay rest the strata of drift and alluvium
| forming the external or surface portions
of the valley. II 10 evident that the
waters of this subterranean lake are
| separated from the waters of the bay by
a wall or rim Of rocks, otherwise our
artCBlaQ wills WOuiN ucSOh0 b"i'''S
Now, IL we can imagine an under
ground lake or saturated bed of gravel
many miles in width. Theoretically
sealed BY o substantial and impervious
lid, so that it may lie in the earth at an
angle of 80 or 40 degrees, like a COW
cred vessel with one side elevated, we
then can form q very just conception Of
our artesian basin, and give q reason
why the water flows out with such force
at the surface when the basin is tapped.
During an earthshock, all bodies lose,
temporarily, a portion Of their specific
weight, and light matter, such as water,
has a tendency to fly upward. This
tendency to fly upward facilitates the
existing tremendous hydraulic pressure
flour confined artesian basin, and causes
the swaying sand and water to break
through the everything clay lid at the
'thinncst places This accounts ra-
tionally for the assures and mud up
heavals at Milpitas and other localities.
In short, the abrasions are wholly at
tributable to aqueous and not igneous
action as many have supposed"

the ATLANTIC CABLE.-An official
statement has been recently published,
giving the average number Of messages
sent every day over the Atlantic Cable,
and the average daily receipts during
the existence of the different rates Of
charges. When the communication was
first opened between Ireland and New
foundland go vas charged for a mes
sage of twenty words Of five letters, but
this rate has now been reduced to So,
and in future tho restriction as to the
length of the words will be removed.
Under the original tariff, % messages,
paying E5o5, were on an average trans
misted every day, and under the present
tariff, l6s messages paying f5ol.
Although the proportion between the
reduction Of the rate and the Increase
of the business is not exactly the same,
yet there is sufficient encouragement to
still further diminish the cost Of trans
hitting messages. TIE American man.
agers believe that the price should be
decreased until the point is reached
when both cables will be fully en-
ployed.

GLORIOUS SUSsEr.-How few there are
whoreally enjoy the gorgeous sunsets Of
autumn. This is the season when they
are seen in perfection, and the sight to
those who are fortunate enough to have
a west window, with an unobstructed
view, is n that fills the mind with the
most pleasing emotions. No painter
can rival the magnificent tints of gold
and purple in the clouds, as the sun
sinks to rest behind them. Who eau
look upon such a scene and remain I'M
moved? And yet we are too often I'M
mindful Of all that the Creator has done
to render the world pleasant and agree
able. The sight Of the beautiful autumn
sunsets ought to raise the soul out Of
the slough of grinding IN to the
contemplation of scenes that money
cannot purchase. What a pity it is
that so many men endowed with eyes,
can see nothing above them I! nothing
good, massive, glorious, soul.purifying
or inspiring.

EXPEDITION AGAINST IxDrAss.ZA dis
patch FROM Santa Fe, New Mexico, to
the Denver News, dated Goth ult., says {:
"There is an important Indian expe-
dition now organizing in this Territory,
which will start from Fort Bascom, on
the Canadian River, to operate against
the Indians committing depredations in
Kansas and Colorado during the past
few months. The command will consist
OF six companies of the Third Cavalry,
and one or two companies Of the Thir-
ty~-ssventh Infantry, together with be-
tween two and three hundred Ute and
Apache Indians, under command Of
Colonel Evans Of the Third Cavalry.
1t is expected that these Indians will be
driven south and along the Canadian by
General Sheridan's troops operating on
the Arkansas. Great credit is due Gen.
eral Getty, commanding this district,
for the promptness and ability displayed
by him in organizing and putting this
expedition in motion, and making an
available disposition of the compare
lively few troops at his command"

How Grant wouldn't-The Scene In tho
Cabinet when President johnson I'm
dertook TO send Genera Grant TO
Mexico. {,
The Washington Chronicle has a story
limiting at the dire plots by the Presi-
dent aud his friends-plots against the
existence Of Congress and the p~erpetuity
of the Republic-which needed only the
absence Of General Grant for their con-
summation. In pursuance of their con-
spiracy to get him out Of the country,
he was to be sent to Mexico as a kind Of
a tail to Lew C~ampbell's kite, but our
hero fatty refused to go. But, says the
Chronicle, a day or two after this refusal
tho President returned to the subject,
and urged the embassy on Grant, saying
he had sent for Sherman to take his
place.
In tho meantime Congress was about
to assemble, and the air vas full Of ru-
mors that the President would refuse to
acknowledge the validity Of Congress,
and attempt to dispense it by arms. Mr..
Johnson had recently seemed to have
peculiar designs in regard to Maryland.
| Grant remembered this, and again de-
| clined to leave the country, this Time in
writing. After this he was called to q
full Cabinet meeting, where his detailed
instructions were read out by the Secre-
tary Of State, as if the objections and
refusals had been Of no account. They
were determined to make him 60,
whether he would or MOTTO drive him
| out of the country which he had saved.
| Grant was now aroused, and, before the
whole Cabinet, declared his unwilling
ness to leave.
W%hereupou the President, not answer
ing Grant, turned to the Attorney Cen
cral and asked him whether there was
any reason why Grant should not obey
this order, whether he was ineligible to
the position in any way. Grant at once
started to his feet, and exclaimed, az
will answer that question, Mr.. President,
without appealing to the Attorney Gem
eral. am an American citizen, have
been guilty of no treason or crime, and
am eligible to any civil Office to which
any other American is eligible. But
this is a purely civil duty to which you
would assign me, and cannot be COM
PEELED to undertake it. Amy legal mil
itary order you give me | will obey but
this is civil, not military, and decline
the duty. No power on earth can force
me to do it." The President and his
minister were astonished and silent, and
Grant left the Cabinet chamber.

LONDON, November l6.-The French
Government has commenced a prosecu-
ton against the Gaulois newspaper for
infraction of the press law.
In Paraguay q serious battle took
place on the Gath of September. At
Villetta, where Lopez was strongly in.
trenched with his troops, the allied
forces attacked his position, but were
repulsed by means of an ambuscade
which had been laid in the roads. The
loss of the Brszilians in killed and
wounded was very heavy. After this
defeat the allied army went into
camp at Palmes. Subsequently they
were considerably harassed by the
Paraguayan guerrillas, who frequently
cut off their supplies and interrupted
communication. The Brazilian IRON
clads bombarded Augaustra, but with
out effect.
