AGRICULTURAL.
SELECTED FROM THE PRAIRIE FARMER.
STEAMED VS.. RAW FEED.

STEAMED VS.. RAW FEED.
would like to be informed through
the Prairie Farmer if it will pay to steam
feed for COWS, with hay at so per ton,
and bran at SIS per ton? / want to feed
COWS to get the most milk 1 can, for
market. Wood, Sc per cord. &. J. I.
NORTH BEND, KA,,.
Anscer:-The value of steamed food
over raw food is about 80 per cent. in
favor of the steamed food. 1t is easy to
calculate when you know the cost OF pre-
paration, steaming and handling. At the
prices you mention, we should not steam
We advise you to try corn boiled in the
ear for feeding mich cows. Corn at 20
cents per bushol is about 81 Per ton, and
and boiled corn makes most excellent
feed. Our advertising columns will in
dictate where you may buy steaming,
boiling and grinding apparatus.
BARLEY AFTER GRASS.
How does barley DO on sod, the grass
Of which was clover and timothy, two
thirds perhaps timothy; the ground
plowed late IN the fall for barley next
spring: / have been told by some that
it does well; and by others that it did
not do well. Will the Prairie Farmer,
or some of its many readers in the west,
give the desired information, or give
Their experience in growing barley on
such ground? FARMER.
WHTrEsTDE Co., Ill.
1nSWer:-We should prefer to follow
with barley after the interval of one year
after grass or on the second blowing:
though we have had good success the
first year, after grass, if we'll plowed and
narrowed. Barley requires a good soil
free of weeds, and fine filth to reach
the best results. 1t will not pay among
weeds. Barley should not be sown until
the season is somewhat advanced and the
soil in good condition for working, and
! is better as a rule on fresh blowing
The seed should not be covered over an
inch deep, and half an inch, if well
covered is better. When drill can be
worked use, it by all means. Our col
umns are always open for the experience
! of practical men in all the departments
of agriculture.

BEST FEED FOR CALVES.

I connot refrain begging your indul-
gence while [ ask you question. What
is the best growing food for a calf from
to L months old? l want food best
adapted for growth. Don't care much
for fattening food, so l can get my calves
to grow fast. I am young dealer in
Short hOrns, and have some fine calves
which want to have of extra growth by
August and fall, for showing purposes.
My desire is to get growth this winter
and spring, and then [ can get flesh in
summer. BY giving the desired infor-
fation you will greatly oblige. T. S. NJ.
RICHMOND, Ky.
Grass is, of course, the basis of growth
in all farm animals. We have had the
best success by feeding oats or barley,
either singly OF ground together the first
summer. In the winter they may be
carried nicely with corn meal, bran and
oil cake, where this can be had None
but the best hay should be given, bright
sweet clover and timothy probably. If
you have good blue grass pasture it
should of course be utilized when the
season will admit.
One of the greatest errors in the feed
ing of young stock is that they are not
kept up to their full capacity of feeding.
Another is they are not given sufficient
variety OF food to keep their appetites
sharp. Corn meal alone will not do for
young stock. They must have more
strongly nitrogenized food to form sinew
and muscle, and that containing phos-
plate to form bone. As an animal ac
quires its growth, corn meal may be more
and more largely given, but while grow
ing the feed We have indicated, is, all
things considered, probably the best. In
this, however, all feeders must be guided
by circumstances. In some localities rye
is largely raised. 1t makes feed in no
wise inferior to oats and barley, but must
be fed carefully. A good rule in feeding
is TO let weight be the test of the quanti
ty OF grain to be fed, whatever the grain
may be; but to reach the best results
grain must be the chief integer in pro-
ducing growth in any animal intended
for show purposes. Besides this, warm
shelter and the best of grooming are
most essential.

NATIONAL QUARANTINE LAW.

Congressman Casey Young, of Ten
nessee, who was one of the heroes of the
yellow fever epidemic last summer, is
working hard to secure the passage of
Matthews bill providing for national
quarantine law, and establishing a de-
partment of public health, to secure its
enforcement, Young says the bill viii
pass, and will nave but few votes against
it, cast by some Congressman who have
heard tlat John Marshall, years ago,
declared such laws in violation as State
rights doctrines.
PrrTsBURG. Pa, Feb. G.-Captain Paul
Boyton, of aquatic fame, launched on
his trip on the Allegheny River at II O.

Pittsburg, to the latter point, and he
expects to reach here some time to-mor-
row afternoon. The waters temperature
is one degree below freezing, and there
is but little ice in the river. Captain
Boyton's reception in this vicinity has
been very cordial. He will be accom-
panied down the river by a sleighing

AN ANCIENT DUEL IN FRANCE.

The recent grotesque duel between
Gambetta and Fourtou has brought to
mind other queer duels fought by French
mer, some of which are rehearsed in the
Paris journals. One of the queerest was
fought III 1890, between Cazales and
Barnave. In the assembly the former
in an eloquent speech, called the Left
'origands. The latter replied that he
could take no notice of collective insult
but If it were personally applied he
would feel bound to notice 1t. Of course
Cazales gratified Barnave; but the mat
ter was arranged by common friends.
The next morning, however, CazaIes
called with Saint Simon upon Barnaye,
saying: 81 am very sorry, but the Ia
dies are unwilling We should be at
peace. Il had expected as much, " was
the laconic reply. "When, where. and
how ''At the Bots, in an hour, with
pistols" Cazales insisted that his an
tagonist should fire first. Barnave re-
fused, because the provocation mention
ed by Cazales had not been Intentional.
They threw dice, at which Cazales said
he had no luck. Barnave won, fired at 13
PAGES and missed. Twice Cazales'pis
missed fire. Pardon he for keeping
you waiting" he said, and his adversary
reioined, Il am here to wait" When he
had missed his man the third time, his
second, Charles de Lambeth, wanted the
affair stopped, but Saint Simon was I'M
willing. Meanwhile the combatants were
walking about arm in arm talking pleas
antly together Il should be very sorry
to kill you, remarked Cazales; ''but you
are greatly in my way in the Assembly.
Let me disable you from debating for the
present. You are more generous than
am, " responded Barnave, ''in wishing
TO let me off easily. You are the main
support of your party; my party would
hrrdly feel my loss" Again Barnave won
the toss. and his adversary fell, shot in
the forehead, with the words: This is
what came here for. His cooked hat
had, however, broken the force of the
bullet; the surgeon soon pronounced the
wound not serious, which Cazales cor
roborated, adding: "And 10, the ass
opened his mouth and spake. He went
home in Lambeth's carriage, proffered
as more comfortable than Saint Simon S
aud in few weeks the combatants dined
together. and spoke of their duel as q
delightful little recreation.

SHERMAN'S LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Secretary Sher-
man has furnished full copy of his per-
sonal letter to Arthur III respect to the
son of Judge Bradley, which was read in
the executive session of the Senate. and
said that in comparatively few eases,
and mainly at the instance of gentlemen
OF great distinction, who might not care
to have their request for Office put on
public records, he wrote personal letters.
He did not think it honorable In Arthur
or fair to these gentlemen to disclose
such letters, but so far as he (Sherman)
was concerned he would under the cir
cumstances rather have them published.
He said that if he heard of any otherper-
sonal letter of his disclosed by Arthur he
would promptly publish them and not al
low them to be eked out through the
cloak of a secret session of the Senate:

will call on you and explain more fully.
For manifest reasons would be very
glad to oblige Mr.. Bradley, who takes
this matter greatly to heart, and l hope
you may be able to give his son employ
ment. as he no doubt is highly deserving
and would be meritorious officer.

tiniteiy, but leave the matter with you
with the sincere hope that you may be
able to comply with his request. Very

CONCERNING SEEDS.

Congressman are having q good deal
of trouble with LIE Due. Formerly
members of congress were allowed Ger
tain amounts of seed for distribution to
their constituents each year; but the
present incumbent of the agricultural
bureau CONSTITUTES the law differently, and
declines to furnish seed to congressman.
He says the seeds are purchased under
express provision of law for distribution
among agriculturists, and it is his duty
to so dispose Of them that they shall not
be diverted from the use for which they
were designed. He himself proposes to
do all the distributing.
AprOpOs of this seed question it may
be stated, as matter Of news, that the
house committee on agriculture seems to
be quietly at work, looking into the af-
fairs OF the department Of agriculture,
