While from these figures we can make
an approximate estimate of the compare
tive value of the articles for fodder, they
still do not give us all the information that
we require for the most correct estimate
that is possible under any circumstances,
These several constituents of the food Of
animals are not equally easy of disgeston
in all kinds of fodder, and indigestible
albuminoids ami fat are of no more ac-
count for nutriment than crude fibre is.
A multitude ofeXperiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany for the purpose of de-
trrmning the comparative digestbiity OF
these substances in different articles of
fodder; but none have yet been made with
corn cobs, 1t has been found, however,
that nearly the entire quantity Of the
albunnoids and fat, and Of the non-nitro,
genouS eXtractive matters (sngar, starch,
etc. in the more concentrated kinds OF
fodder, such rs the grains of oii-cake, is
digestibIe; while in the coarstr stuffs, such
us hay and straw, IL large proportion is in
digeslibe and of no use except to enrich
the manure. Corn eobs should undoubt-
edly be included in the latter class, and
they are, therefore, less valuable than the
grain, not only because they contain a
smaller proportion Of alhuminoids and fat
and more crude fibre, but also because
what they do contain is to II considerable
extent indgestiblc. In some tables Of the
comparative feeding value of different tod
der materials, sheled corn is rated as
about 43 times us valuable as cobs
but us this comparison is doubtless based
on the comparison alone, so that it doe,
not take account of the comparative di.
gestbiiiy, it makes the cobs more valua.
bic than they really are.-Prof G. G

NOVEMBER 26, 1877.

As We failed to get time to write to
your worthy sheet last week we pro-
pose few items for your next issue.
Cotton is coming TO market and
brings fair prices. Hogs are daily
shipped and trade is O. X.
Wheat is all sown and looks well.
We have recently been extensively
over our county ard find the farmers
in other sections are not rs forward in
sowing as they are here.
The corn crops we're blown down
and cotton had to be picked, and the
wet weather has retarded work until
full crop cannot now be sown.
New business houses are being built
here and new dwellings are going up
on every side, and there is not Il va
cant house in town of any kind.
We attended the meeting of the
Obion County Teachers Institute, at
Troy, a few days ago. The meeting
was success, and Prof Shropshire
is the most efficient Superintendent in
ehr State. Prof. Stephens Of Ken
ton Academy accompanied us to Troy
and your correspondent had to remain
several days In Obion, hence our
Professor returned alone, and en- route
TO Kenton he got lost; but found his
way to the home Of his sweetheart and
thence to kenton early on Sunday
morning. "Sich is life" The next
meeting of the Obion Institute will
be held at Kenton on Saturday .Jas-
uary ., 1878. Ample aecommods-
tons will be pade to care for all vis-
itors free of charge, and teachers from
other counties are cordially invited TO

Opens with paper on the lumber
trade of the United States by Charles
d. Robinson, Esq, entitled "The
Wooden Age" The description of
the life and dangers of the lumber
men is aided by half a dozen drawings
by the young artist, Kelly, who has
thus far only appeared in Scribner.
Following close upon this is Col.
Warnings enthusiastic talk about
"The Thoroughbred Horse" which
contains suggestions about training
for the turf and riding to hounds, and
picturesque description of an Eng
lish fOx-hunt, with reproductions of
some of Leech's famous cartoons.
James Richardson's paper on "Amer-
lean Oyster Culture" (also illustrated)
is not Il compilation of statistics, but
an interesting account of the meth
ods empltgs& in American waters fo-
the cultufO Of the oyster. The travel
paper takes the reader From the
Atlantic to the Andes, via the Anna
zon and Madeira rivers, and has an
account of caoutchouc manufacture
and some late information with re-
gard to the progress of Brazil. The
serials are continued-Miss Trafton's
hero coming nearer to His Inheri-
tance," and Mr. EgglestOn'S Indiana
story presenting new phases of life in
the Pocket" The reader is also en-
abled to compare Mr. Eggleston's fic>
ton with reality, by the appearance,
in this number, of the late Robert
Dale Owens "reminiscences and anec>
dotes of life in the same part of In>
diana. A valuable paper in this
number is study of Keats, by the
poet, R. II. Stoddard, who traces his
life and analyses the genius of the i'll
fated poet, and gives him very high
rank. The January number will
haze the conclusion Of this essay,
which the student of literature is ad-
vised to read with Keats poems in
hand. "Some Precepts for Slander>
ing Safely" by Charles H. Traux, is
a curious paper showing what one may
or may not say against his neighbor
without liability to an action in law.

was built entirely at Water Valley,
every piece of the machinery being
constructed and put together there un-
der the direction and adjustment of Mr.
Becton. Vice-President Clark. of the
company, had this engine made in
order to ascertain whether or not re-
liable locomotives can be constructed
at Water Valley. Ifthis engine prove
acceptable, Others will be constructed
at Water Valley and the shops en-
larged beyond their present capacity.
