For winter feeding, where cattle are kept in
stalls and heavily fed, there is no better dvisor
for corn meal than wheat bran. It is also
cheap, and furnishes what the corn meal
lacks. When cattle are fed on corn meal as
the principal food for fattening, 1t is apt to
cloy ii fed in too large quantities, hence our
best feeders are in the habit of using bran as
the cheapest and best means for rendering the
meal fed more digestible. In this each feeder
to be used. One-quarter OF the bulk of feed
in bran to three quarters of corn meal may be
taken as good general lule, to be varied ac-
cording to circumstances. For working horses
fed on cut-feed, this proportion will also
be found to be nearly right, For horses doing
fast work. oats fed whole are of course the
best possible feed. In winter, for driving hor-
ses, about one-quarter the weight of the feed
may be good sound corn, mixed with the oats.
Where bran is cheap, and it usually is so in
the West, it will be found valuable adjunct
for dairy cows in the winter, in connection
with corn meal. These will be found as
among the most valuable of any used, in pro-
portion to the cost, for making milk in
winter.
That there is no longer doubt as to the
value OF corn, or its manufactured product,
corn meal, as among the very best of the ma
terials either for fattening or for animals at
work, we have the evidence ofmost respectable
authorities both at home and abroad. Feed
ers In all our large stables agree now pretty
generally as to the value of Indian corn, either
In the grain or ground. Feeders now general
ly agree upon this; and especially for working
stock. Nevertheless we should not lose sight
of the value of bran. 1t should find place
in every stable, whether the stable contains
fattening stock, workers or young things being
raised for future usefulness.

During the hard work Of sprisg on the
farm, the horses are in some seasons
more than in Others Gin wet and warm
seasons) subject to CALLED shoulders and
backs, which, when not attended to, are
apt to psodnce troublesome sores. The
skin is not only abradcd by the collar
and saddle, but the flesh irritated and in
famed, and if the irritation is kept up an
ichOrous discharge takes place, which is
difficult to heal without giving the horse
rest. When saddle-gall is observed,
the harness should be looked to, and the
pressing point which has caused the sore,
should DO relieved. If the shoulders are
CALLED, j: may be necessary to use pads,
SO arranged as to prevent bearing on the
sore places; or some Of the stuffing may
be removed at the places where the collar
hurts. 1t will be necessary to keep the
parts of the harness that come in contact
with the horse, as we'll as the skin of the
horse, free from sweat and dirt, washing
them every evening with warm soap
suds, and drying with soft cloth; after
which portion of the following mix.
ture may be applied to the sore parts. To
about two pounds Of unslaked lime, add
two quarts of cold water, and after they
have intimately combined, pour of the
liquid into dish or pot. Add thereto
five wineglassfuls of linseed oil, and two
ounces of powdered sugar of lead (Which
latter should be previously dissolved in
q little water.) Stir them together, and
cork up for use.-Prairie Farmer.

Troublesome Tramas.

Several days ago company Of forty
tramps forcibly boarded freight train
on the Central railroad aud rode from a
point south of Grinnell TO this city. Get
ting of here, they were taken in charge
by the police force of this city and
marched several miles outside of town.
Shortly after their departure, another
large party took possession of freight
train on the Chicago and Northwestern
road, east of here, and rode to this city.
They noisily celebrated the Fourth in u
camp about half mile east of the depot,
where they drank a number of kegs of
beer, and cooked and ate stolen hogs,
burned up fences; and they also waylaid
passing traveller, who resides at Lisbon,
in this State, robbed him of all be had
about his person, and inflicted upon him
severe bodily injuries. The policemen
getting into difficulty with them during
the night handled several of their ring.
leaders rather roughly, but we're unable
to manage the whole crowd. Yesterday
morning Mayor Taylor asked the assist
ance of Major Bells militia company to
disperse them, which, being promptly
furnished, the tramps were escorted out
of the city in front of glistening bayo-
nets, and their leader, who, for making
violent incendlary speech to the soldiers,
in which he threatened that Msrshalltown
should be burned to ashes, was uncere.
moniously placed in Jail. This morning
this same gang took possession Of CEN
trail freight train at Albion and held it
for several hours, but quickly slid off the
cars and ran, upon the arrival of Sheriff
Hickox and his posse of thirty armed
men, who were carried from here to Al
bion on q special train. They were fol-
lowed nearly 10 Liscomb, when the Sher-
IFS party turned back. The Central
managers anticipate further trouble from
this body of vagabonds on their way
north, but the people along the limo Of
the road seem determined to lend assist
ance whenever needed, and will not toll
crate them as they have done other years.

THE success Of rapid transit in New
York city is one of the things in which
the whole country may join their congrat-
ulations. With the best natural facili-
ties for communication and sailroad
communication the city Of New York has
been the worst city in the world for
sightseeing or for business. on account
of the difficulty of getting from point to
point. For years the horse railroad mo-
nopolies, aided by the Tamn'any rings,
have fought and defeated every scheme
for rapid transit, and people have been
forced to spend hours daily in waiting
and travelling on crowded cars. To-day
the west side of the town is we'll accom-
odated, so that the trip from Battery to
Central Park may be made comfortably
in twenty minutes, instead of uncumfort-
ably in an hour, as formerly; and the
horsecar companies are suffering for the
lack of business. The east side rapid
transit line is far under way, and the
people are rejoicing in anticipation,
while the worst of monopolies. the Sd Az
enue Railroad Company, is in tears. Al
together, the prospect for New York is
better than it has been for years.

wife Is one who spun wool and fax and
took care of the house, etc., in short, he
means to say that she shall possess q
large share of Physical potency. 1t ia
the power to do, without which no woman
deserves the name of wife. Within the
past decade some young men in choosing
wives have disregarded this advice Of
Solomon's, and have since repented. But
young men are fast becoming more care
full and wise in tho matter. They are
learning that pretty face and form,
though doubtless desirable laccompani-
meats, are not the whole requisites of a
good wife. 1t is true that there are some
thoughtless exceptions among the young
men, but they are simpletons. But above
them are thoughtful men, who do not and
will not fall in love blindly, but who are
looking for the wife which Solomon COM
mends, and who will not be satisfied
without such one. do not wish to re-
veal any ones secrets, but have had men
say to mo when talking upon the subject
of this discourse, "Girls, nowadays, are
too frail to marry" Does any one think
the young man to blame who says this
and then stands aloof from tho marriage
Atari Surely not. Aud does the young
lady who is too weak to sweep her own
room, or to make her own toilet, think
such young man will hasten to proposei
If so, she 10 mistaken; young men Of to-
day are fast becoming wise through the
experience of their unfortunate friends.
