Cattle Food.

Experience teaches us that cattle-SayS
the American CultivatoT- thrive best on
a mixed diet. All hay OF all grain will
produce less beef than hay and grain.
The animal structure of the OK also de
mands bulk in food as well as richness
the feeding of the concentrated food being
only profitable so far as the animal assim-
ilates ii; beyond that simply increasing
the manure heap at a cost far beyond its
value. The OK has approximately eleven
and onc-halI pounds of stomach with only
TWO and onc-half pounds of inteStines to
each one hundred pounds Of live weight
The sheep has less stomach and more in
tcstncS, giving Il smaller percentage of di-
gtStlNe apparatus; While the pig for every
hundred pounds of his live weight has
only one and one-thirI pounds of stomach
to SIN pounds Of inteStneS. 4 steer would

Across the island OF New York in 1850,
a wall of stone and earth, cannon mount

4 street was laid along by that wall, and
as the street took the line of the wall it
was properly called Wall street. 1t is
short, narrow and unarchtectural, but
unique in history, and, excepting Lom-
bard street of London, the mightiest in
the world The history Of Wall street
would be a large part of the history of

A BRAVE REGIMENT. Durin Y the Pc

forced to send picked men into danger

and attendant circumstances, that not
more than Il full regiment could be used

of men and told them what he wanted

depended upon the success Of that one

officer
''Colonel have faith i'll you and III your

AYE, my lord replied the colonel,
quickly, ''and by the time Your order is
fully executed ii will be the first in the
next" And then he plunged to the head
of his regiment, and gave the order for
the forward movement.
His reply to the duke had been heard
by those who had stood near, and they
told it to others. and SO it flew through
the regiment, and became the battle cry,
The old soldiers caught inspiration from
it. 1t made them invncible. They some

that the place and circumstance would
be no check to Blaine's ambition, and In

Gail Hamilton to do his writing and
prompt him to his work,
