Protection vs.. Exposnre;

The lowest estimate we have
ever seen of the loss occasioned
by the exposure of cattle during
inclement weather, as compared
with comfortably housing them,
is twenty-five per cent of the
food supplied. That is, if Civ
en- amount of food will maintain
an animal in a certain condition
when comfortably housed, at
least.one-fourth must be added
to the quantity of food supplied,
in order. to maintain the same
animal in the same condition
when exposed to the weather.
And this calculation, based upon
carefully conducted experiments,
with a view to test the single
question is made for the central
counties in England, where the
climate of the winter months
cannot be called rigorous in com
parison with that of the United
States, north of the 10th degree
of latitude, 1or the same season.
1t is safe to affirm that similar
experiments, conducted Oh the
average farm of our Northern
States, would establish the loss
from exposure at a much higher
figure that twenty-five per cent
of the food supply, probably not
less than one half, while it might
be demonstrated that no amount
of food will maintain a COW or
steer in really good condition, if
entirely exposed, without shelter
during an everage winter. But
take the lowest figures and let it
be understood that every farmer
who feeds an unsheitered animal
does SO at a loss of at least one
fifth of the crop SO fed out, and
each for himself can readily cal
culate what the neglect to house
such animals costs him from year
10 year. ssrrr-s sas

A middle aged Christian man
with only a little education or
culture, but with very good com
mon sense, and especially with q
faith remarkable for both simple
ity and stFenth, was speaking of
his experience in leaving of the
use of tobacco. He had become
convinced that it was sinful for
him to use it, and also injurious
to his health, SO he at once and
wholly abandoned it. A lady
present inquired: "But did it not

to take away the banker. He

Rockland, Sept. 80. In the murder trial,

At the afternoon session, the first witness
was John Mitchell, of Portland, a stevedore
employed in loading the Annie B., who testi-
fed as to conversation which took place in
hearing of prisoner, between Capt Secord and
Captain Quinn, concerning loan by the for
mer, and during which Captain Secord ex-
hibited a considerable roll of bills. The
cross examination elected no contradiction.
James W. Mundse, steward of the Annie
b., was next called, and testified as to Rob
bins engaging passage on the vessel and cor
murderous affray.
Alfred Pinckney, the seaman who was fired
at by Robbins and ran up the fore rigging to es-
cape him, then gave his testimony. He cor
roborated the other witnesses as to the begin
ming Of the afiray and as to the subsequent
scufing of the parties, but from his position
could not distinguish the details of the strug-
gle clearly.
The court room has been filled during the
day. The prisoner preserves his calm and
