FEEDING CATTLE.-in Iowa farmer gives
his experience as follows | am feeding
some steers now that were good grade, and
were rather extra calves. and were fed at
the troughs with the beef cattle. all of the
shelled corn they would eat for two thirds
Of the first winter, then they were turned
with stock cattle and had ordinary feed and
pasture till two and one half Years old.
They were then in very good condition and
averaged |, 135 pounds. They are about
three yeats old now | bought them last
fall and have fed them with about 100 other
cattle that are now feeding for beef. They
are doing the poorest Of any. 1t is my
opinion that if the grain that was fed to
them the first winter had been divided one
third fed to them the first winter. and the
tWO-thlrds fed to them the next winter.
they would have been much better than
they now are. To let cattle off. YOU lose
the feed You have fed to them while gain
ing the flesh they lose, and the feed they
ate while dosing it. besides they will not
make as good steers as if kept gaining all
tie time. Any animal. if allowed to oct
roor after once having been fat viii. never
fatten as well again.
| am now feeding a steer which is about
three years old. that weighed a few DAYS
ago 1,50O pounds. He will probably ly tie

that would have been necessary to make
the net profit on him SD less than it proba-
bly, Will be, would have been to have fed
the same feed to him he has eaten. and to
have extended the time of feeding it one
year. There would have been a loss of in
terest f0r one year on the value of the steer.
$40 at ten per cent, 81 a loss in weight of
say 200 pounds at ) cents per pound $40.
ana a loss Of 90 cents a hundred on say
1000 pounds for Il lower grade STEER. *
Cattle when changed from green to dry
feed, loose in a short time from 4 to 8 ner
cent. of their live weight. A steer NAV

first changed from green to dry feed. and
ne may soon gain in the spring 100 pounds

The Use OF MANURE.-In reading a let.
ter in your valuable paper by a Western far
mer. he states facts so different from the
way we farm here that car not help ans
wering it. Here, we think it a dangerous
experiment to put manure in the row. and
even ashes often burns the corn. unless the
season is very wet. We prefer to spread
out corn land broadcast, and pillow it in
shallow at the second blowing. And in
mixing hen manure and ashes together, it
has been tried by a great many Of the best
farmers, and considered that one DESTROYS
the use of the other.-COr. Home and Farm.

How OFTEN TO FEED HoRsEs.-A year
or so ago we remember to have read an
account from Mr.. Harris. in a contribution
to the American Agriculturis', of a New
York truckman who was experimenting in
reducing the number Of times per day that
he fed his horses. The animals have
worked hard. but the owner omitted giving
them their noon mca! altogether. The
horses left the stable at seven O'Clock in
the morning. ana We're returned at half past
six IN the evening, thus going about twelve
hou,s without feeding. The smuunt of
oats morning and evening was increased
though the aggregate feed per day was on
an aNe'age about two quarts less than " hen
the same horses were ttl threc times The
owner cum that the hurscs did mere work

horses should he watercd in the morning
i'efore they are fed. A fall drink Of water
immediately after being fed is a sure way
OF producing indigestion if not inflammation.
when water is drunk by horses, the bulk Of
IL goes directly to the large intestincs. and
little OF 1t is retained in the stomach.
some old and worthless horses, by way Of
experiment. were fed with split peas. and
then supplied with water Immediately be

water had carried the peas from fifty 10

gestlon took place az all.
Prof. Miles states that in his experiments
IN feeding swine. the best return for feed
consumed were obtained when the animals
ate the most in proportion TO their live
weight, and this is undoubtedly the rule in
stock feeding. This is readily explained
ny the TACT that, when a large amount 0
1000 IS consumed by an animal, provided it
IS capable of digesting and assimilating 1t,
the proportion of food required to supply
the waste of the tissues and keep the ami
mai machsnery in working order is less than

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.
The First to Reduce the Rate OF
Taxation-The Second to Pro.
vide for the Care Of the Insane
of this State.

We are indebted to Assemblyman
W. e. Smith, of this county, for a
copy of the bill to reduce the rate of
State taxation, which was introduced
by Senator Cassidy, on the 7th in
slant, also, for copy of the bill to
provide for taking care of the in
sane Of the State of Nevada.
Mr.. Cassidy's bill has two sections.
The first section provides that, in fu.
ture, the tax levied for State purposes
shall be fifty cents upon each 800 of
taxable property, including the pro-
ceeds of mines and mining claims;
the second section repeats all acts
aud parts of acts conflicting with
the provisions of the previous section.
The bill to provide for the care of
the insane is in ten sections. The
first section constitutes the Governor,
Controller and Surveyor General a
Board of Commissioners to provide
for the insane of this State; the
second section gives the Board the
power to purchase land and build
ings, or to purchase not over 200
acres of land and erect suitable
buildings thereon for an asylum for
100 patients, the said buildings to be
completed within eighteen months
Of the passage of this Act. The
third and fourth sections provide for
the removal Of the Nevada insane
now in California, and for the gov
ernmeut of the asylum. The fifth
section directs the election of resi-
dent ph ysician at salary of $4,000
per year, the said physician to be
General Superintendent Of the Asy-
lum, and to employ all required help.
The sixth and seventh sec tons speci-
fly the manner in which patients will
be admitted to the asylum, and for
bid any difference in the care or
treatment of rich and poor patients.
The eighth section provides for the
certification of the expenses Of the
institution. The ninth section ap-
propriates sum of money lthe
amount is left in blank, to be filed
in when the bill is on its passage) to
carry out the purposes of the bill;
and the final section merely consists
of the ennctinn clanse
