HoRNs.-The ruminants, or cud-chewing
animals, are divided into two classes-the
solid and the hollow horns. OF the first
class the deer is an example of the second
our domestic cattle are an illustration. In
cattle having short horns the hollow is
smaller than in those with long horns bulls
have a more solid horn than cows. Animals
having pastures poor in phosphates will
show the lack of bone-formng material in
the system, and will be more hollow-horned
than those having pasture rich in phos-
pilates. In such cases nature will endeavor
to supply the lack of phosphates in the food
by re-absorbing portions of the lime from
the more useless parts of the system, such
as is the inner part of these bones of the horn

CATTLE foods should be selected with ref
erence to the ends desired in their use, and
the relative cost of the same. Foods for
work, for milk for fattening, should be bet
ter understood among farmers. The time
will come when science will be applied to
the use of cattle foods, and it will be of
immense service to the cattle industry of the

Manure Produced by Ton of Food.

The following table showing the estimated
ton of one ton of different articles of food,
each supposed to be of good quality of its
kind, as published by Mr.. Lawes, of Roth
Farmer, on an American valuation. English
hay is taken as a standard, and ton is sup
posed to yield an amount of manure worth
ten dollars, basing its value on the market

All of the ash element contained in the
food is either converted into structure, or is
recoverable in the manure; in adult ami
mails, about all finds its way to the dung
heap A portion of the nitrogen, however,
appears to be lost by respiration and perspir-
alton. This table is as near relatively cor
rect as our facts admit it to be made.

WHEAT SoILs.-There will be no great
revival in wheat-growing until farmers real
ize the difference between good and bad
wheat soils. All soils will produce wheat,
but all will not make the crop remunerative.
The farmer might as well feed his hogs on
hay, and his COWS on nuts. as TO feed his
wheat crop on vegetable mold or river-bot-
tom alluvum.

THE WHEAT CRoP.--As nearly as can be
estimated now, the surplus wheat crop of
California will not reach two-thirds the
usual average. Oregon, however, now ex-
poets to be able to export five million bushels
of wheat the crop there being very prom
Using. Winter wheat looks promising in
nearly every wheat-growing locality east of
the Rocky Mountains, and especially so in
Texas and Tennessee.

Conn AND WHEAr.-It has been found
by experience that the fine deep filth in
which corn-roots thrive is the worst pos
sible for wheat Having the seed-bed near
the surface rich and moderately mellow"
it is all the better that the soil beneath
should be solid and even hard. Herein is
the advantage of clay soils for wheat

Boston and New England. Hereafter it will
be published by d. Appleton & Co., New

NORTHERN Ohio is agitated over two girls
OF good parentage who without money or
any clothing except what they wore, got on
board railway train and rode until they
were put of,and then got upon another train,
and so upon successive trains for many days.
At last their kinsfoik hunted them down.
When they were asked the reason for their
conduct they answered-and Northern Ohio
Is wondering at the answer-that they were
possessed of a devil. 1t was very good reply
too, and one afording the only adequate
explanation of the phenomenon. Why will
not Northern Ohio be content with it, and

IT is not pleasant to find a paragraph like
this in Washington correspondence; ''Sen-
ators Gordon and Lamar called on Mr..
Hayes Sunday and told him if he supported
Kellogg, as he is strongly urged to do, the
Democrats would consider it evidence of bad
faith and probably would not give him the
support they otherwise would" This state
ment is doubtless untrue, but there is some
thing wrong in situation which can suggest
such falsehood.

Mr.. CoNGEB of Michigan has suddenly
appeared as the leader of the Republican
side OF the House. He is presumably an able
man, and he certainly entertains corrsct and
laudable political opinions. But the assumed
leadership was gained in queer way. Mr..
Conger, while making spec ch on the army
bill, was asked by fellow represen-
tative to explain rather confused state
ment. Mr.. Conger's reply was: 81 accept
the apology" This facetious remark pro-
voked the uproarious laughter Of the House,
and the Michigan member was thenceforth
looked upon as ''leader." But it does seem
to the looker-on that Mr.. Conger's leadership
may we'll be postponed to time when the
Republican party is forced to take refuge in
evasions instead of unhesitatingly defending

The state of feeling In regard to the
settlement of the Presidential question
which was evinced in this city may be
described as complacent. A. drearier or
more disagreeable morning has seldom
broken over New York city than that of
yesterd day was. The wind blew in sudden
gusts between momentary lulls and the
rain beat mercilessly. The statistics of
ruined hats were tremendous. Dis
gusted with the inefficiency Of the Street
Cleaning Bureau the Celestial Street
Commissioner took the matter into his
own hands and made thorough work
Of it. But, better than this, the
presidential question, which has
dragged its slow length along
for months, to the detriment Of business
and the disgust of business men, was
settled at last. The state Of the weather
was in itself sufficient to prevent any
general expression OF opinion, but
wherever little knots of men were to be
seen there the presidential question
was, in subdued manner, the topic of
the day. After all, however, the won
derful part of it was how little was said
about It. In the street cars everybody
sat with closed lips, as usual, and
looked as dismal as the wet streets or
the reeking vehicles. A shout for
either Hayes or Tilden was not heard

all the day long. It was only when men
came into friendly contact that the sub
| ject was referred to, and then, even,
where opinions were widely apart, In
the most friendly spirit. As men
shook hands one would say to
the other, well. it's settled at last
Hayes has bulldozed Sammy complete
ly." In nine cases out Of ten the sub
stance OF the political conversation was
embraced In the three words-"Hayes
bulldozed Sammy" Republicans as well
as Democrats used this favorite form OF
expression. which, when 1t came from
Democrats. was usually supplemented
by an intimation that Sammy was will
ling, only that he was not able, to bull
doze Hayes. But the remarkable fea-
ture Of the day was the general, almost
painful, silence. on the subject. In no
other country in the world could the
inhabitants Of great city have re-
NAMED 80 absolutely quiet on the day
which settled the rulership OF the ma
ton. It has been the habit to speak of
the loquacity OF the American peo-
pie, but when O whole population
can hold Its tongue under such circum-
stances the fact is proof OF q contrary
disposition. An Indian stoicism seems
rather to have taken the place Of talka-
tiveness with us, and 1t was certainly O

the politics Of the country, as would
