Feeding stock.
From the Western Farm Journal.

From the Western Farm Journal
Cattle and hogs are the means by which
the farmer can most prohtably market his
gram. Ii is therefore his duty to consider
she most economic manner of preparing
them for market. The subject OF feeding
stock has been well argued at different con
yentiohs .of Short-horn breeders, and by
different s,is ntitic experim enters. Yet the
masses who pserare stock for the knife,
seem to profit but little by their instruc-
ton. Many thousand bn> bells of grain are
fed every year. for which the FARMER. anu

farmer by injudicicu Us feeding, than IL made

ness, and study tie mutual dependence ex-

-hall act IN the capacity of middle man. All
of the vexed questions in politics and AZ
riculIural commerce can only be settled when
the farmer knows his part and is able To
maintain it. Let US calculate the amount
of grain wasted daily, before our fattening
animals. Careful feeders get an average
of about 800 pounds when the pig IS nine
months old, which the average Turner must
feed from twelve to eighteen months for the
same weight. See what figures tell Us: Or

Another of Grants Relations Found
and Provided For.

FIR the Ycw Nork Herald.
A pleasing discovery has been made at
the White House.
1t was thought, not only by the Senate
and members OF the Cabinet, AS well as the
country at large, but also, as far as is known,
by Gen. BabcJck, that the last one of Gen.
Grants relations had been some time ago
provided with ii sal satisfactory Office.
ithin few days, however, a new cnus-
in has turned up. His name is Tompkins.
Ills family lives in Charlestown, W. Va,
where the President made them ! REF visit
last year. Mr.. Charles Tompkins was not
at home at that time, and this accounts,
perhaps, for his delay IN seeking the per
qui,ite of his kiuship. Also, he may have
spent some Of the intervening time in look
ing through the registers and over the map
TO find proper place.
lie has now, however, made choice,
and has just been appointed United States
Marshal in Colorado. Lest it should be
supposed that this kinsman has hitherto
becu entirely neglected. il may as well be
added that under the rule Of Mr.. Shepherd,
he was interested in street contracts in
Washington.

way to Senator Carpenter, and Gen. Bris
tow will vacate the Treasury Department

West of Louisiana. W hat is to become Of

tioucd are the most probable. Nobody :

nection with the Secretarvship OF the

sons assigned for placing him there would
seem patent. 1t Is said that Mrs. Grant

Jumping from "A TraEn Uninjured
From the Mlnneannlis Mil


An odd ease &C somnambulisln occurred
on the River Di 'ision the { Their morn
ing. Upon the train en- route from Mil
waukee to Minneapolis, was Mrs. Wright
and two sons. The elder of tho two, aged
sixteen years, fell asleep IN his seat After
the train had left Weaver station, and
while 1T was running twenty miles an hour,
he arose in bis sleep, and being unnoticed,
walked out the car door and off the plat
form.
As soon as the mother discovered his
absence, the conductor was informed. and
as the boy was hot found upon any of the
cars, the train was stopped and lacked slow
~ to Waiver. The missing one was not
found, however, and the anxious mother
and her remaining boy were left at Waiver,
and the train proceeded.
Waiting at the station for several hours,
they were finally overjoyed by sight of the
Young sleeper, who was walking deliber, to-
ly NJ the track. He said he knew nothing
of the fall, but being awakened by the cold,
he found himself lying upon bis side in the

How II May be Attempted.

Having succeeded in bringing the great
body of the Republican party to approve OF
bis suhjugation Of Louisiana by the sword,
Grant means to try his hand upon Arkan-
sas soon after Congress adjourns. Having
overturned it's State Government with the
tacit, if not the cordial, consent of his par
ty, he will next on some pretext seize others
of the reconstructed States by the throat,
and so on.
Grants ultimate object in all this is plain
He intends to be candidate for President
in 1876, and he purposes to carry as many
States as he can by the appliances which
he has already used so successfully; and
then to secure double sets of electoral votes
in efficient number of other States where
he is beaten at the polls.
As the one or the other of these sets of
votes is counted by the Senate and House
two years from this present month, 50 " i'll
go in all probability the Presidential cleo
ton. To secure the counting of the votes
which he prefers, Grant viii only need to
set in motion in Washington the judicial
and military machinery he has operated so
successfully in New Orleans-and with the
approval OF the great mass of the ReIUbli-
cans throughout the country.
For example, some Judge Duren issues
an order commanding the Senate and the
House to count the Republican votes from
the disputed States sand the number of
such States can be multiplied to meet the
emergency-and not to count the Orposi
ton votes. His brother law, Marshal
Sharp, of the District of Columbia, will
ask for troops to aid him in executing the
judicial order. They will be forthcoming.
and Sheridan will lad the column up
Capitol Hill, and the Senate and u)use
will obey the order. or Sheridan will drive
these "banditti" from the hall-jiust as
Cromwell drove out the Long Parliament,
and Bonaparte drove out the Five Hun
dred
But this cannot be, says Incredulity; we
would not submit to it, says SuEserviency.
All, but the precedent is already establish
ed, and you have submitted to 1t and have
applauded it; and Grant appreciates your
conduct.-N. Y. Sun.
