St0aminp Food

AS there is q difference of opinion
among practical men about the profit
or advantage of steaming, or cooking
food for animals, we are glad to iearr
through the Country Gentleman that one
farmer in Ohio has so far tested the
matter he is satisfied that steaming
food pays, especially in feeding a large
number of sheep.
In the beginning he selected 800 ewes
and divided them into two lots of 15C
each, as nearly equal as to size, age
weight and condition as possible. One
lot was placed in one shed and ted lib.
orally with clover, hay and sheaf-oats.
The other lot was placed in an adjoin-
ing shed and fed twice day with
sowed corn fodder, cut to three-quarters
of an inch m length mixed with two
bushels of bran and wet down with
boiling water, at the rate of one bushel
OF the mixed feed to ten sheep. Be-
fore beginning each lot was weighed on
set of stock scales, and thereafter
was weighed twice week.
The details are too lengthy, but the
results were SO satisfactory that an
engine was purchased with a boiler,
tanks constructed and everything ar
ranged on q scale sufficient to meet the
wants of the flock. Since then this
steamed food has been fed almost ex-
clusively. Last winter the hay crop
failing, the entire stock of the farm
was kept through winter without
pound of hay, and they came out in
better condition than was. customary
on dry feed. The stock consisted of
20 horses, 20 head of cattle, and over
1000 sheep. But the sheet anchor of
steam feeding is fodder corn.
The stock now being fed requires
about three tons Of dry hay per day.
Three men in an hour and half can
cut the three tons; and as the feed falls
from the cutter it is carried and placed
In the tanks for steam1ng, wet with a
sufficient quantity of water and mixed
with bran or meal by machinery, SO
that when the cutting is done the feed
is ready for the steam. With the pres
ent boiler capacity it takes one man
four hours to steam it, making the cost
of cutting, mixing, steaming, pumping
water, fuel, etc., about five cents a ton
of dry feed. One man and a boy will
feed 1,50O sheep. The fodder is eaten
up clean. The wool is of length,
clearness, style and strength rarely
found where sheep are kept on dry
iced; aud it brought q higher price in
,he market than wool Of Uqual Hueness
made off dry feed.

1t Is now generally admitted by hon
est physicians, that when once the consump.

human power can save the patient from
death. They also say that about fifty per

trace the cause to neglected cough or cold,

Of the white men had just built on II acre
lot which he had bought some four years age.
They all intend to build and improve their lots
and have homes. They are all laboring men
OF good standing 10 the ncighborhoOd. This
neighborliuod is improving very much, and
will continue to improve if the people evncc
as much enterprise as they have recently done
in building churches and school houses. The
hamlet of Farmville has wonderfully improved.
Five years ago there were but two houses there.
Now there arc twelve comfortable two story
houses, two OF which have Easements in which
stores are kept. There are two blacksmith
shops that tlo'a good business. In addition to
the lois named in The beginning Of this letter

1t is said that Mr.. McCrary is dissatisfied
with his transfer from the Department OF JUS
tice to the War Department, and that he may
conclude to back out. When it was decided
that Gen. Devcus should have the Department
Of Justice it was at first contemplated that Gail
Schurz should be assigned TO the War Depart
ment, but Gen. Sherman, who has no partlcu
lar personal admiration for Schurz, objected 80
strepuously that the idea was abandoned, and
Mr.. Schurz kept on the list for the Interior
Department. to which he had originally been
assigned. -, .,,
1t is understood that Mr.. ConkDg Will lead

South Carolina.

Yesterday morning a South Carolina dalega-
ton called nj the White House and had M in,
tcrriaw with Mr.. Hayes Tho delegation con-
sisted Of Senator Robertson. ex Gov. Scott and
Judge Mackey, republicans, and Gen. ker-
shaw and Col. j. II. Ryan, democrats. Gov,
Scott, who was the republican Governor Of
South Carolina before Chamberlain, said that
the interest and the future Of the State depen-
dcd or an early recognition OF Hampton, as he
ouy could settle the civil affairs OF the State.
Senator Robertson SAID to MIR. Hayes that he
desired to assure him that the delegation were
not olIlcc. seekers. They were property. holders
tcrrsts Of South Carolina and for the recogni-
ton 20 Of its lawfully elected Governor. The
delegation asked that the United States mill
tary forces be Withdrawn from the State House
at Columbia, but they were entirely indifferent
rs 10 whether the troops remained in the city
or not. They said that the withdrawal Of the
troops from the State House would cause no
trouble, and they we're willing to pledge their
honor that Hampton would preserve the peace
at all hazards.
Gov Hayes replied that it gave him much
pleasure 10 meet a delegation Of citizens oil
lie had given serious consideration to the i'm
porant subject which was the object Of their
visit, but he would not act in the matter until
his Cabinet Was confirmed and he had the bane-
fit of their counsel and assistance.
After leaving the White House one or two
of the members Of the delegation called on
Gen. Sherman. Gen. Sherman said 10 regard
to South Carolina affairs that he was the sub
ordinate Of the President and would carry out
any orders which we're addressed to him. lie
remarked that he did not approve Of the army
being used TO settle civil disputes, but that one
day the county would appreciate the scrvicc
which the army had rendered in being the
means OF preventing another civil war. lie
had no authority to speak for Gov. Hayes, but
would say that Hayes would make one of the
best, arrst and pnrest Presidents who ever

Lctter from Richmond.

[Correspondenco of tho Alexandris Gszette.l
RICHMOND, Va, March Mrs. General
Joseph +. Johnston stated yesterday that she
knew her husband had 90 idea Of taking cab
met position urder Hayes, or any other place
that be might offer. This should settle the
question. There is certainly no satisfaction
shown here with Hayes, bis Inaugural address
Or the members of his cabinet. The people of
Richmond take no stock in him, aud Col. Pal
mers prompt refusal to take any Office under
him meets with general approval.
The Southern Planter and Farmer, out to-
day, says in an editorial on the situation:
"The man who would accept the position Of
President of the United States, on the terms
that Hayes gets bis Office, is as much entitled
to confidence, for anything he might promise.
as would be o horse.thief or house burner.
The plummct has yet to be invented that could
sound his baseness. The strategy Of the con.
sprators is not exhausted with Hayes eleva'
ton to the Presidency The role OF Judas is

hars, asked 10 Gil tho Federal Offices in the
South the same to be used to do the dirty
work of the conspiralors. Ia this way they
expect TO bring the negroes into line again, and
thus disintcgratc the Solid South, and hold
their power indefinitely.
| | am sure | am sale in saying that public
opinion here would be against any Virginia
democrat who could consent TO take an office
from Ills Fraudulcncy. | AN also sure that
the sweep that vii! be made in the ranks of the
carpet baggcrs here will not be so clean as has
been supposed. Some Of the lesser lights may
