vention, and after balloting A. B. Mcleod was

upon motion, were adopted:
1. Rssosced That We, the Democratic Con-
sentative voters Of Walton county, cordially en-
d0rse and ratify the platform and nominations of
the National Democratic Convention held at
Cincinnati, believing as we do that in the nomi-
nation OF Hancock the Democracy rose above the
trickery OF political manHuverings; nominating
one not backed by the corrupting influences oil
capital or combinations, but whose only strength
consisted in q faithful and able discharge of duty
and an unblemished name
3. Reso}ped, That We fully endorse the plat.
form and principles of the Conservative Demo
cratic party as set forth by the State Conventions
nations made by them. We believe our candi-
dates to be men of tried capacity and honesty,
whose election will insure the continuance OF
the reforms, good management, and faithful ad-
vancement of the public interests which have
marked the conservative administration of the
State government since 1876
g. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves TO sup
port the nominees Of the State and county con-
ventions and to make every honorable effort TO
ratify their nomination at the polls In November
next; we confidently rely upon the intelligence
and patriotism Of the people for success.
f. ResoIced, That we recognize In Colonel r.
Fl. M. Davidson q faithful and true representa-
tive Of this Congressional District, and unquali.
fedly endorse his nomination.
g. Resotoed, That we believe the maintainance
of party organization is necessary for its contin-
uance In power; TO maintain it, all personal
feeling, all individual aspirations, local prejudces

ordinated
Upon motion it was ordered that the proceed

Says the Louisville C0uwier-JOarndl: :
Winfield Scott Hancock will be the next
President Of the United States. 1t is
written in the book Of fate, and there will
be no electoral tribunal to revise the re-
turns Hancock was born both handsome
and lucky. He is man of destiny. Why
just look at the record. In 1866 Garfield
brought bill into Congress to drop the
Junior Major General That was Hancock.
1t passed both houses of Congress and
was signed by the President. But be-
fore it could be carried into effect, George
II. Thomas, the Senior Major
died, and Hancock, going up one grade,
was no longer the Junior Major-General,
and so the law could not reach him.
Then the Republicans, still led by Gar
field, passed an act reducing the Major
Generals to three. This was signed by
the President, but before it could be car
ried into effect Meade died, and the Ma
jor-Generals were then reduced to three
by God Almighty. Finally law was
passed authorizing the President to drop
one of the Major Generals. Before it
could be carried out and Hancock drop
ped, Halleck died, and Hancock becom-
ing the Senior Major-General, he could
not be dropped. The man who led them
Garfield will, as fitting contamination
of his act, fall victim to his intended
victim. Hancock will be elected Presi
dent. Garfield will be retired-at least
from the Presidential field.

FooD AND DIGEsTIoN.-The value
of food does not depend entirely upon
the amount OF nourishment ingredients
it contains, and chemical analysis,
while it may. does not of necessity
show the exact feeding value OF fodder,
roots, etc. 1t may be that in the inhu-
ence that the food has over the diges-
ton its greatest value Discriminating
it to healthy and vigorous action, etc.
Thus turnips are poor feed IN them
selves, worth only %. so per ton as far
as the food elements go; but they are
worth much more, as matter OF prac
teal experience, in the relish they give
the stock for dryer and more substan-
tial food. Another reason may be
found in the fact that in much food
especially the different kinds OF fodder
the nutritive portions are in the cell OF
the plant-shut up as it were in little
wooden cases. The chemist who takes
all needed time for analysis, can work
at the fodder until he gets out all the
matters there are IN it, and
use various methods of doing it. On
the other hand, in the laboratory of the
stomach the fodder can remain
but limited time, and only the same
process IS used for al! kinds Of food,
hence the animal generally is not able
to remove all the valuable ingredients
that the chemist has shown it to contain.

FATTENING CATTLE.-In fatten-
ing cattle, we have preferred TO
divide the grain into three parts,
and give it with twice or thrice Its
bulk of cut hay or other fodder.
THIS mixes the concentrated with
the bulky, and insures it all being
raised and remasticated. But two
feeds of grain and hay, wit h
one Of hay alone, are thought by
many to produce as good result
Young and growing cattle are the
better for some exercise, and should
have the opportunity, daily, OF
stretching their limbs in the open
air. except during storms. But
fattening cattle need very little ex-
ercise, and may he proftably kept
in stall during the three or four
months of fattening. In fact, it is
expensive exercise to allow tree
daily run to fattening cattle. 1t
will take a considerable percentage
of their food to sustain this eX-
penditure of muscular force. Com
Portable quiet must accompany the
rapid deposit Of fat.
