manner Of feeding, let the feed be what

breeders advocate twice day, others
only once, and yet others say that
thrice a day is not too often to feed
laying fowls. I consider that if fowls
are fed once or twice day only they
will eat SO greedily that the food does
not do the requisite amount of good

sIt is now proper to state, however. that, as the
result of certain intrigues and outside Efforts to
gain control OF the paper. and wrest it from the
purpose to which our late chief devoted it, some
changes have taken place in the proprietorship
and large majority OF the stock is to-day per.
mauently concentrated in tho hands OF Mr.. Gree
leys chosen editorial associates,-men whom he
trained for this particular duty, to whom he in-
trusted the management. of his journal in the
graveat emergencies, whom he honored with the
confidence of his thoughts and wishes. and whose
purpose it now i to continue the work from " which
he was 20 Suddenly called away.
In taking up the unfnished task which fell from
his hands . few wesks ago, We happily have the
men whom he brought around him, the facilities
which he accumulated, and means SO ample that
when, . few days since. over half million Of
dollars was paid for the bare control of the paper.
ws, knowing the worth Of what Mr.. Greeley had
allowance for the fact that the Tribune is practi-
ty tAr the highest price ever paid for newspaper
without ohense, than any other journal on tho
soatinsnt, with the exception of the Herald could
b sxpected to command. But henceforth there
b no price whatever with which any stranger can
