1t is generally conceded that it re-
quires more food to make a pound of
flesh in cold weather than in warm. An
Ohio pork-raiser has made some careful
experiments to determine how much the
difference is. He carefully weighed the
hogs and the corn fed, and estimated the
gain in weight at four cents per pound
He found that what he fed out during
the first week in October, returned Tin
pork 50 cents per busheI; the first week
in November, 60 cents; the third week,
40 cents; the fourth week in November
and the month of December, %: the
first half of January, 5; the last half,
nothing. In The October week of the
experiment The weather was pleasant
and warm. 1t gradually grew colder
till the last of November, after which it
remained stationary till the first of Jan
uary, and then ran down TO zero, and
below in the latter part of the MONTH
This shows how much more profit there
is in raising hogs which can be fattened
before cold weather comes on than il is
TO keep late spring pigs and feed until
late into the cold season.

GIVE THE CATTLE FRESH AIR heth-
er animals continue healthy or contract
diseases very often depends upon the
kind and quantity of food they eat, the
water they drink or the air they breathe.
Ii must be borne in mind that the alb
sence of vigor observed in animals,
dwelling in stables insufficiently sup
piled with fresh air, as well as disease
arising from imperfect ventilation, are
only in part due TO the imperfect provis-
ion usually made for TIE escape of the
narcotic carDonic acid and other pro-
ducts of respiration. Probably the chief
mischief arises in badly arranged sta
BILE, from the irritating ammonia yielded
by decomposing urine, and the still
more obnoxious, but at present less
products of the putrefsction of
facal and other organic IN atters.-Pr'ai-

A COWARDLY ATTACT,

A COwARDLY ATTACT. o.
Wednesday afternoon of last week
James Gordon Bennett of the New
York Herald was suddenly assault
ted by Frederick May, in front O
the Uniou Club House. Mr.. May
is a brother of the Miss May who
wa to be married to Mr.. Bennett
last week and sail for Europe on
Saturday. For some reason the en-.
gagement was broken off after the
preparations for the wedding had
been begun. Mr.. May deeming that
his sister had been ill.treated attack
ed MIR. Bennett as before men ton
ed. An eye witness gives the fol-
lowing account of the fracus:
81 was going out of the club just
after eating my dinner, when l met
Mr.. May at the door. He asked me
to wait a few moments, and would
see some fun. He said he intended
to horse whip Bennett. He told me
there was no use of demonstrating
with him, for he was firmly resolved
to do it. went back to the club
room, took off my overcoat and
went to the window. Mr.. Bennett
at the time was walking up and
down the room in an excited manner.
He was smoking cigar. This was
The first time l had ever seen him
smoke in the daytime. Directly he
put on bis overcost and walked to

the door. He stood on tho steps for
q few minutes and then started
down. Mr. May waited until he
reached the sidewalk, and then GO
ing up to him, he drew from his
breast O cOwhide and struck Ben
nett with Il five or six times over
the head aud face. The first stroke,
! think, was directly across the face,
Bennett unbuttOned his coat and
made q motion as IL to draw q wea,
pom. May then clasped him around
the body and threw him out IN the
street, falling on him. No blows
were struck on either side. In throw,
ing Bennett into the street May had
lost the cowhide and reached around
in the snow to get it. Members OF
the club then ran out and interfer
red. May then picked Bennett NJ
and threw him bodily half acrost
the street. Bennett got up and
walked into the club and Mr.. May
walked away. No blows with their
fists were struct by either party.
Bennett and May fought u du'
el on Monday afternoon at Slaugh'
