The Best Feed to Produce MIX

1t is well settled in the opinion of all
our best dairymen, that bran greatly
promotes the milk secretions in cows,
and it is fed almost universally. About
equally mixed with corn meal is the
usual proportion. This mixture seems
to promote both quantity and quality
of milk.
From several sources we hear that
buckwheat bran is great milk produ-
Ger, and it is now being used considera-
bly, among our dairymen, il about the
same proportions as the other.

THE so-called Autobiography con-
ventioh in Hardin county two weeks
ago, one of the resolutions of which
we showed up last week, seems to
have been almost entirely in the
hands Of the regular old hard-shell-
ed Democracy, five of the eight can
didates being of that party. The
Iowa Falls Sentinel says of the con-
vention:
The manipulators were Demo
Gratis. The large proportion Of the
nominations were Democrats. The
talking was by Democrats and the
same old virulencc against the Re
publican party was manifested as in
the last fall's campaign.-A Farm.

the poor Farmer, talk of the tramp
ed rights ofthe producer, and then
spew their rank filth at Gen. Grant

ONE of the craziest projects ever
conceived by mortal man, if we may
credit the cable dispatches, is about
to be undertaken by Mr.. Whalley,
member Of Parliament. This gen.
tleman, who is an ardent friend of
the claimant in the famous Itch
borne case, and an enthusiastic
believer in the justice of his cause,
proposes to make a pilgrimage to
this country, to solicit subscriptions
to pay the expenses Of the endless
suit now in progress. If the NJ. p.
about to embark in this Quxotic ex-
petition, anticipates that anybody
this side Of the water cares q cop
per whether the fat Mapping butch
err goes up or down, much less would
contribute money to aid his cause
or arrest his fate, he will be specdi-
ly undeceived when it comes to
passing the plate. If Mr.. Whalley,
M. p, wishes to save himself the
modification Of fruitless mission,
and much ridicule, he had better
relinquish his design Of begging for
his burly client so far from home.

Prof. Calvin.

The chair Of Natural Sciences in
the State University, being about to
become vacant by the resignation
of DR.. Chas. A. White, to accept
the Professorship Of Natural His
tory in Bowdoin College, Me, the
Dubuque Times very appropriately
requests the Board of Regents of
the University to take into careful
consideration the claims for the va
cant position, of Prof. Samuel Cal
vim, now of Dubuque, but formerly
of Lenox Institute, Hopkinton.
Prof Calvin has many friends in
this county, and all who have be-
come intimately acquainted with
him will heartily endorse the just
estimate Of his capacity as an ed
ucator and scientist, and his worth
as man, with which the Times
accompanies its suggestion Of his
name, and which we give below.
We earnestly hope in the interest
of education, and as recognition
of one of the most earnest, enthusi-
astic and intelligent workers in the
field of science, that Prof. Calvin
may be called to fill the vacant
chair of the University. The Times
says:
Professor Calvin is modest, I'M
neutrality-suspicious., and not likely
to press his own claims for prom
ton, but he is regarded by all the
teachers Of Northern Iowa, who
have had an opportunity to test his
capacity, as being one of the most
able and thorough educators in the
West. In matters Of Science he is
an enthusiast, quietly, but constant
ly and Systematically delving into
the wonderful storehouse of nature.
In the department of Geology, no
man in the State is his equal, and
he has a finer, and better, and more
complete collection of the fossils of
Iowa of his own gathering. than
any man in the State or out of it.
He has discovered a new fossil, and
has the honor of having it named
after him. Able biologists and
paleontologists present at the ses-
sion Of the American Scientific Con-
gress, held here last year, ex-
pressed the greatest surprise at
meeting man of whom they
had not previously heard, so thor
oughly informed in their depart
ments as they found Professor Cal
vim to be, and testimonials of this
appreciation of him of him can be
procured from a number of them,
as we are informed by a gentleman
of this State, himself widely known
as geologist.
Professor Calvin is fine lecturer,
, lacking, perhaps, the fluency that
comes from practice, but having a
, rare power of making his hearers
understand his subject. Couple
this with enthusiasm, his tenacity,
his thoroughness in investigation,
his present knowledge of all the
, departments of science he would be
expected to teach at the University,
his capacity for growth, and his
great personal worth, and we do sin.
cerely believe that the Board of Re.
! gents Of our University can hardly
do as well as to give him the va.
cant chair. What we have said is
entirely without Professor Calvin's
knowledge, but with view to serve
the University. We know that the
best informed gentlemen in this sec.
ton of the State endorse every
word we have said thus voluntarily
in Prof. Calvin's behalf.

Relative Responsibility.

The responsibility for the pas
sage of the Salary bill, cannot prop
erly be laid at the door of either
party in Congress. Each must &C.
cept its share of blame, and each
mast be judged, not by its past, but
by its future record with regard to
the measure. But certain papers
of the INSCRIPTIONS class, among
which may be reckoned the ex-Dem-
ocratic sheet in this city, are con-
: tinually attempting by direct
charge or indirect allusion, to cast
the odium of the act upon the Repub-
lican party. They constantly de-
nounce it as one Of the fragrant
abuses of "the party in power" and
IN every imaginable way, seek
to use it as a partisan weapon. 10
show the dishonesty of this effort,
it is only necessary to analyze the
votes by which the measure passed.
We find that on its passage in the
Senate % Republicans voted tor it,
and % against; while IS Demo
Gratis voted for it, and 5 against. In
the House 81 Republicans voted for
it and 60 against; majority against
8; while 4s Democrats voted for,
and 81 against, majority of IL in
fuyor of the back pay. The aggrc-
gate of both Houses is as follows:
Republicans against the increase, 50
Republicans for the increase, ....''-.-.-....-'4
Republican majority against. --.... .......'S
Democrats for the increase, ..................6 81
Democrats against the increase. .......... az
Democratic majority for, .........19
Here is really point against the
opposition. If there is any prepon-
derance of responsibility, it is with
the Democratic party, but we do not
desire to use it in that way, our on
ly purpose being to show how utter
ly absurd and dishonest is the at
tempt to shoulder the sole response
bility for the iniquity upon the Re-
publican party.
