efforts have been male to bring back
into the field the candidate who re-
ceived the spontaneous and unanl-
nous vote of the district convention
held in New Orleans so recently as
one month ago yesterday. This as
sembly represented both the So called
Custom House and Grant wings of
the party and its work met the unan-

else OF Il little mutual fur5eaEance
and discretion, We solemnly protest
against the opportunity for success
being sacrificed by future to bring
these conciliatory agencies to bear in
the present emergency.
We reiterate our conviction that
Judge Beattie would draw heavy
vote from the Democratic ranks if he
stands for Congress, and this accession
would more than compensate for any
possible Republican detection caused
by the Vaccinations of the few men
who might be disposed to value the
qualification of personal spite above
the achievement of party success.
II the election of Judge Beattie can
be jeopardized by the influence Of
such men, there will be far less hope
of carrying the district for any one OF
the candidates Vet suggested as his
successor. Messrs. Darrall of St.
Mary, Merchant Of Iberia, Drury of
Assumption, Hebert of Ibervilfe, and
Marks and Bentley of Ascension have
been mentioned in this connection.

consumption OF healthy and nutritious grasses
and other kinds Of food, contains within it.
self, in proper proportions, all the elements
that are necessary to sustain human life
through a considerable period of time.
Scarcely any other article of food will do
this. When we eat bread and drink milk
We eat bread, butter and cheese and drink
water, all of them III the hest combination
and condition to nourish the human system.
All things considered good milk is the cheap
est kind of food that We have, for pints of
it, weighing 81 pounds and costing 9
cents contains as much nutriment as one
pound of beef, which costs Is cents. There
is no loss in cooking the milk, as there is
in cooking beef, and there is no bone
in it that cannot be eaten: it is simple,
palatable, nutritious, healthful, cheap, and
always ready for use, with or without preps-
ration. This is to say that, chemically, 81
pounds of milk is the equivalent of l pound
in fiesh-forming or heterogeneous constituents !;
and 317 pounds of milk is the equivalent of
l pound of beef in heat-producing elements or
carbohydrates. We must therefore assume,
from the data offered, that the relative values
of beef and milk as human food are as 81 to
liz or as lin round numbers) to Il. If milk
is s cents per quart, then it is the equal in
food value to beef at ID cents per pound !;
and vice versa, when beef is at % cents per
pound, then milk should be 10 cents per
quart, calculated on its food value. We thus
see that, at any ruling prices, milk is certain
ly one OF the cheapest, il not the cheapest,
food that can be furnished to the family,

sxill.fed Cows Give swim MING.

In most of the Atlantic States there are
stringent laws against feeding mich cows
kept for supplying milk for towns and cities
with malt or the grain from breweries or
stills. These laws have been passed after
full investigation of the subject and a careful
examination of milk from cows thus fed, by
physicians and health officers, and deter.
mination that such milk is unhealthy.
1t is said that milk from cows fed on these
malt and distilled grains produces fevers and
various forms of diseases in those who use
IL. Thus to feed cows in these Eastern
States il made a criminal offense, punishable
with severe penalties j; if feeding cows kept
in city diaries with these kinds of food is
dangerous to public health, and is made a
penal offense in New Y ork, why shouldit not be
in California. Will not the same cause that
will create disease in New York or Boston or
Baltimore, create similar diseases in San
Francisco, Oakland or Sacramento? FLAWS
are necessary to protect the public health
from these dangers in the Eastern cities, why
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-10-30
not the same necessity here? How many of
our city diaries are feeding grain from these
breweries, and how many families are using
milk from this source daily?
Irrigation and Drainage

A foothill orchardist suggestsithat if sum-
mer irrigation and drainage were more fire.
quently practiced together, the result would
be much i"ore satisfactory to crops, and more
particularly to orchards, and that the danger
of causing disease would be much lessened.
He is satisfied that irrigation in the foothills
has frequently done more injury to trees by
creating stagnant water pools about their
roots, than it has done good. Hereafter, he
says, he shall cultivate and drain more and
irrigate less and he is satisfied that if all will
do so they will produce better and more
healthy trees and more valuable fruit and
have fewer fevers in their families. If this
theory of health be good among the sparsely
populated districts of the foothills, why is it
not good also for the cities like Sacramento?
If irrigation with insufficient drainage pro-
duces fevers in the foothills, what viii it pro-
duce on the fat lands of Sacramento?

Clean Out the Barn-Yards.

This is good season of the year to clean
up the barn-yards and spread the manure
over the fields. Manure in this State should
be left on the surface, rather than be plowed
in. When land is seeded to alfalfa or is to be
volunteered to barley, oats or wheat for hay,
it may be spread and narrowed over now,
while the soil is dry, to good advantage. Ii
it is to be put on grain land it is better to
wait till the grain is sown before putting the
manure on. Let it then be spread evenly
and dragged in, and the effect will he much
better than if plowed in. Under no circGm-
stances should the manure be allowed to re-
main in heaps in the field during the first
rains. as these will wash the ammonia and fer
tilizing gases into the soil where the heaps
lie, and thus manure the land in spots only.
