THE TRIBUNE viii sternly combat reputation Of
public obligations in the form Of watering and de-
basing the currency or in any other guise il may
assume. For every dollar ont of which the public
creditors may be cheated by any form of currency
diluti0n or reputation the people will suffer the
loss of a hundred which will result from the de
struction of credit that will fall like blight on
state and Municipal Governments as well as on
corporations and individuals. The national credit
must be maintained pure and unsullied, and, like
the virtue Of Caesars wife. above suspicion.

Corn Raw and Cooked.

The time will soon come when farmers
will want to begin to fatten stock for the
fall and winter market. The object will
be to turn a part of the crops of the sea
son at least in this way. The question
that comes up for consideration is, How
shall this be done to the greatest profit?
Take, for instance, some facts that have
been given, setting forth experiments that
have been made to show that the ques-
ton is not only shall we turn our corn
into pork, but how shall the corn be fed
to tte greatest advantage? Shall it be
fed whole, or ground, or cooked? EX-
periments have been made when every
thing has been equaliZed to show the
comparative value of corn fed raw and
cooked, whole and ground; and in one
case the result was that five bushels of
whole corn made forty-seven and three
fourths pounds of pork; five bushels
ground (less told. wet with water, made
fiji weight and one-half pounds; and the
same amount of meal boiled and fed cold
made eighty-three and one-half pounds.
In the first case the amount of the corn
fed equaled the value of the pork when
it was fattened, and in the last the pork
equaled the amount of corn fed and gave
IA profit OF one dollar bushel IN addi
ton. Any one Can see that the profit
here came from the boiling of the meal :;
and that if, feeding the whole raw, grain
would give profit as it usually does,
this would be greatly increased by cook
ing.
In another experiment ten bushels of
corn on the cob fed on the ground made
twenty mine and one-half pounds of pork.
The same amount shelled and coarsely
ground and cooked made sixty-four
pounds. These facts are given officially
and can be relied on, and the results here
stated should be considered and remem-
bered, and their instruction applied.
Another experiment was tried under diff
ferent circumstances from those men
toned above, but like result was
secured The raw corn fed whole gave a
return of $1OS per bushel, the cooked
meal that of s 60 per bushel
The results, like the above, of expert
ments might be given to almost any en-
tent, but enough has been said to show
the direction in which profit lies for the
farmer if he will take it.
The machinery for cooking for stock is
simple, and the work of doing it is light.
a little preparation in advance made at
odd spells will make it convenient to
cook the daily rations for stock as it is
needed We have done this ourselves
with no particular hindrance to our other
work, and have been abundantly satsfi, d
with results. If one would feed his
grain to the greatest profit, no doubt it
should be done in this way.--Ohio Farmer.

is no other animal that converts its food
so soon into food for human beings Sec
ondly. pig is an Omnivorous animal
that is, it can feed and thrive on both
animal and vegetable substances; it is
not very particular and consumes with
some relish almost any offal from the ia
BILE, from the dairy, and from the kitchen
and garden, which can be scarcely
utilized in any other way, with
which it eats the grain of the field, the
grass and clover of the pasture, and the
acorns of the forest. Therefore almost
any family can raise and fattcn one or
two pigs with scarcely any expense what
ever Thirdly, pigs are accused of being
dirty and filthy and fond of wallowing in
the mud. This is Il calumny, for scarcely
any of our domestic animals keeps its
stall and its bedding as clean as Il pig,
provided the latter is not compelled by
the carelessness or by the ignorance of
its owner to sleep and to deposit its eX-
cremcnts at the same place, but is pro-
vided with good dry. warm, well-lit-
tered and well-ventilated pen to sleep in
and with yard which it can walk into
at its own pleasure. Further, there is nc
animal that is more fond of being brushed
rubbed, washed and petted, or that en-.
joys good bath in clean, fresh and cool
water as much as does pig, especially
in the summer, when daily bath is SO
essential to the health of the animal. A
pig takes a bath in IA mud-pool only when
no other opportunity is left.-Cor- Che

4 PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before administer
ing it to their patients fewer people
would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Btters which now rank as an inestimable
household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
world He introduced it with a simple
statement of the manner in which he had
discovered its vegetable ingredients and
been cured, while wandering, sick and
poor. among the California tribes. He
stated what the preparation had done for
himself, and a few sufferers from dyspep-
STA, biliousnesS, rheumatism, lung dis
eases, and many other prevalent disor-
derS believed him, tried the new reStora-
tive, and were more than satisfied with
the results. In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that, in this age
of intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
a pecuniary failure-even though it may
lack the help of capital, and have to fight
its way against powerful opposing inter
ests. Within two or three months after
its introduction the article became self
supporting. and it now yields magnifi-
cent annual revenue.
