Feed and Breed of Dairy Cows

DR.. Sturtevant, of Massachusetts,
closes paper contributed to the Report
of the Connecticut State Board of A girl
culture, with the following summary
of the conclusions at which he has ar
rived on this subject:
l. The production of butter is largely
dependent on breed.
9. That there Is a structural limit to
the production of butter to each cow.
8. That when the COW is fed to this
limit increased food cannot increase the
product
4. That the superior COW has this
structural limit at greater distance
from ordinary feed, and more ready
to respond to stimuli than the inferior
COW.
8. That consequently the superior
cow is seldom fed to her limit, while
the inferior cow may be fed beyond her
limit, and as practical conclusion, in
creased feed with a superior lot of cows
will increase the butter product, but if
fed to an inferior lot of cows, waste can
but be the result.
6. That the character of the food has
some influence on the character of the
butter but even here breed influences
more than food.
Z. That there is no constant relation
between the butter product and the
cheese product.
s. That the casein remains constant
percentage, and that this percentage
does not appear to respond to increase
of food.
8. That the casein appears to remain
constant without regard to the season.
10. That increase in the quantity of
milk is followed by an increase in the
total amount of casein.
IL, That insufficient feed acts direct
ly to check the proportion of butter
and has tendency to decrease the
casein of the milk and substitute albu-
men.
IL. That the best practice of feeding
ls to regulate the character of the food
by the character of the animals fed /;
feeding superior cows nearer to the linn
1t of their production than inferior
cows; feeding if for butter, more con-
centrated and nutritious foods than for
cheese; feeding for cheese product sue
culent material which will increase the
quantity of the milk yield.

HORkOU ED UiIIDENHN.

The present ~ not q propitous time for the
more glaring and adventurous varieties OF
frauds. The prospectus Of q balloon line to
Saturn or even of tunnel to Iceland, would
hardly attract either the skilled talent OF
Wall 1t. or the innocent gamblers outside,
however it might be advertised in serious
new spapers or plararded upon dead walls.
Among the results of the bard times which
are easiest TO bear are this Discrimination OF
suall investors to put their money nro Wild
goose schemes, aud the consequent siynes- of
operators in putting them on the market.
But there is another species of sNiDding
for which the present dull time affords an
especial temptation. We refer to the dishonest
practice followed by certain corporations of
declaring dividends which they have not
earned. So few corporations, comparatively
speaking, are Gaming more than their interest
and their expenses, that il is a sort Of dis
tmction TO he able to pay dividends, and q
board OF directors. in doubt as to the pro-
priety Of declaring dividend, might easily
be induced 10 vote for it through this feeling
Of innocent pride. But in the vast majority
of eases where unearncd dividends are de-
clared, the motives which govern the men
who do it are by no means SO yenial. They
are simply dishonest, and the act is clearly
fraudulent. 1t is done for TWO VI three rea-
sons all equally unavoidable.
Sometimes the dividend itself If tho object.
Where the directors are large stockholders the
two or three per cent brings i'll no inconsiderablo
sum to their private pouches. But what ia of
infinitely more importance, the usual result Of
such declaration is an immediate advance in
the price of the stock, by means of which the
holders are able 10 unload upon the ignorant
and enterprising public The issuing OF
bonds, the creation Of floating debt, and tho
various forms of kite-hylng TO which managers
resort when they propose 10 pay dividends
which have not been earned, are all channels
of dishonest gain to the small inside rings Of
operators by which 40 many corporations are
governed. These devices have been practiced
~ long that they have attained certain

men-the one who most clearly and strongly
represents the views OF the best men IN the
party on the subject of national honesty ana
s,lvency. The Republican majority OF the Sen
ate sit contcntedly down under the presidency
of the worst inationist blatrerskite in their
body, on the ground that to displacc him would
be n violation of Senatorial courtesy.
This childishness is an illustration OF the
disadvantage which results from body OF
men of deficient moral tone becoming too well
acquainted. The Senate Is so small that all
the members know each other personally, and
forget thei. duties to the public In thinking OF
their obligations to each other. IL, for instance,
a VIGOROUSLY bad man secured the support Of
his own Senators for special Office in his
State, no Senator of his party would vote
against his confirmation. IL the best man in
the State were nominated, instead OF this
rogue, he could not be confirmed If his two
Senators opposed it. The President has nom
inally the appointing power but by the cour-
tesy of the Senate, the two Senators from any
State, when they agree, have an absolute veto
on all nominations in their State. OF course
there are limits to this courtesy. All mem
bers jobs are sacred to each other, but
not inclined to give any one much
freedom. The courtesy Of the Senate was
sadly in the vocative when Charles Sumner
was degraded from his craftsmanship of For
eign Affairs and Gail Schurz was deprived Of
his place on the Committee on Education. 1t
Is possible that higher sense Of duty came
here into play. Mr.. Tennyson says "Obeai-
"ence is the courtesy due to kings" and the
Senators may have been, after all. too cour-
icons to disobey orders If this be the case,
what could Gen. Grant do better than to send
Gen. Babcock (or whoever does duty, during
bis temporary absence, on business, in st.
LOUISE down to the Senate and tell the
gentlemen there TO turn their absurd Presi-
dent ont of the chairG This would be in the
strict line of recent precedents. and would
save the sensitive courtesy OF the Senate.

A careful examination OF all tie circum-
stances of ex-senator Henderson's removal
from the management of the whisky cases
only strengthens our conviction that the Presi-
dent committed an unfortunate error whom he
allowed bis resentment to carry him to the
length of interfering with the administration
of Justice in O case where his own private sec
rotary was on trial. But there is DO reason
whatever to assert that in so doing Gen. Grant
was actuated by any desire to suppress the
truth. We certainly have always given him
hearty praise for his Jealous support Of the
Secretary of the Treasury in the prosecution
of these cases. and we do not believe that any.
thing will occur to make us rctract that COM
mendation. The appointment which he has

Of the excursion TO that city of members of

are pushing forward Centennial matters.
