THE CATTLE MARKET FOR 1S7Z.-
The statistics OF the New York cattle
market for the past year are instructive.
| The total number of animals which
| reached the market during the year
! were 443 500 beeves, 1923 cows, So
go calves. of20l 1926 sheep and lambs,
and 1872 500 swine. Stock arrived
from almost every one of the States.
Sixty eight steers came from Colorado.
Kentucky, Notwithstanding It's blue
grass pastures and its splendid short
horned herds, no longer holds the top
of the market in its hands, but Illinois
and Ohio now share it grade steers
from those States bring equal prices
with those from Kentucky.
The New London Times says, on
Monday last, as German farmer was
coming out of the Woods about twenty
miles north of Perry's Mills, be found
a mans boots with the feet left in them
particles of clothing, few bones, a
dead dog and two dead wolves. Signs
of terrible struggle were all around.
Tie unfortunate mans name is not
known as yet The superstition is that
he was going from one numbering camp
TO another when the wolves (who are
starving on account of the deep snow
preventing them from ru ming down
their gamel overlook him in the road
before he could have time to climb a
tree, ard devoured him. The story is
probably too true, as the wolves are
furnishing and will attack anything at
this time.
VICE-PREsIDENT CoLFAX De
FENsE.-A Washington dispatch of the
9Th, says:
Mr. Colfax IS thoroughly prepared to
disprove the charges against him when
Ames has concluded his case. The
latter did not appear this morning, as
was expected. Ames' statements con-
corning Mr.. Cofax rests entirely upon
secondary evidence, the transcript Of a
memorandum, the original of which
still exists. 1t is regarded as remarka.
BILE chat a committee of lawyers have
permitted two mouths to pass without
obtaining the original The assertion
that Mr. Colfax's bank account shows
deposits of S45, 900 in 1868 is incorrect
J This sum represents his account Tor
three years, the entire proceeds OF his
lectures, salary and successive transfers
of the same capital in different invest
ments. Mr.. Colfax has examined all
his private papers, aud can give de
tailed history Of his personal business
for three years

ground oats sixteen pounds, grouno
hay seven and one half pounds. anG
cut straw one and one-eigbth pounds
the hay and straw being cut into
pieces about half an inch long, and
we'll mixed mp with oats in little water
and so making twehty-six pounds O.

the other three thousand" horses they
gave daily allowance of whole or IN.
bruised oats nineteen pounds, and un
cut or whole hay or straw thirteen
pouads, without any water, in our old
fashioned way making thirty-two pounds
of this food for each horse. And wha
was the result ? Why, it was soon dis
E covered that the horse who was fed OF
the twenty six pounds of ground oat'
, remained in as good a condition anG

Just as well, too, as the horse did who
consumed tbirty-two pounds of food al
