Cooking Food.

Late-cut hay. ordinary straw, and
other coarse folders are unquestionably
improved by cooking, us it softens the
woody fibre, and dissolves portions OF
the starch; and cornmeal and other foods
rich in starch are also improved by cook
ing. But in considering the question OF
economy, it il easy to see that, although
it will pay on a large scale, it is not
likely to DO so for few animals, for il
costs nearly as much to cook for ten as
for fifty head of cattle. Grinding rem
ders all our cereal grains more digestible,
by reducing the size of the particles to
be saturated and digested by the gastric
juice, and hence many of them pass cat
tie undigested. When corn is ground il
should be mixed with coarse fodder, sc
rs to prevent it adhering in Il mass to
the stomach, and to insure its remastica,

Handle Dairy stock Kindly.

Mr.. PARCEL, III the report of the New
Jersey agricultural society, says: 1t is
important that dairy stock, from the
young calf to the old COW that is being
fed for beef, should be handled and
treated kindly. Ii calf is handled
roughly and becomes wild aud vicious
thereby, when it becomes cow you
may expect the same, but if handled
carefully and treated with kindness,
wen grown up she will be mild and
gentle. 1t may not always be SO, but in
neral it is. There have always been
MANY cows spoiled by the persons having
the care of and milking them, by whip
ping or frightening them whenever they
come in his way, or if, when milking, a
COW hoists her foot or kicks (such is gen.
orally caused by pain), such fellow
stops milking and commences whipping,
or worse, kicking the COW, and she be-
comes enraged, holds up her milk, kicks
back, and is finally ruined. Never whip
cow for kicking, if she does kick the
milk pail out of your hand and some
times upset and knock you, hut be kind
and gentle with her, and milk her out
with as little excitement as possible, and
if she gets over her kicking propensity il
will be by mild and not by harsh treat
ment. Never whip cow because she
kicks, for it will do no good. but will du
u great deal of harm.

4 STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

MEADowFIELD, HANCOCK CO., TENN,
February 10, 1880.
To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
On last night 1 was alarmed at the
voice of John Routh, a merchant of our
county, en- route from Whitesburg with
a load of goods. | asked what was the
matter, and he answered help help |!
l am in the water-oOme quick-bring
rope with you'll am freezing to death !
Oh, come come AS soon as | found
out the nature of the case, lit my lamp
and started to him through a muddy
bottom in mud and water up to my
knees. The rain put my lamp out and
was left IN the dark, but the screams
of the man caused me to press on to-
ward him. l saw light coming at full
speed up the creek, which proved to be
Mr.. G. B. Wolfe and son and Mr.. Col.
Inns, who had also heard the cry fer
help and turned out to render assistance
if possible. Mr., Wolfe crossed the
creek to assist me in getting Routh out
of the water, and then crawled out on
some bushes and told me to throw
the rope to him, which did, and he
tied one end to a chunk and threw it to
Routh, who seized it and tied it around
his body, and was thus pulled to shore
and saved from his perilous condition.
The wagon and horses were found this
morning some distance below. Two
horses were dead and one alive A box
of tobacco, an oil can, and a box of
clothing are all the goods that have been
found up to this time. BILL.

IN WPORTANT BILL.

A bill recently introduced in Con-
gress has attracted much attention
throughout the country. The main
features of its provisions are as fol
lows: The bill makes it unlawful
for the railroad to charge different
individuals for rendering similar
services at the same time-requires
them to afford without discrimina-
ton the same facilities and the sane
expedition of carriage TO one per-
son as to another. No stOppage or
agreement shall be made to prevent
the earnings of any property being
treated as one continuous carriage,
no rebate in any form, directly or
indirectly, shall be made. There
shall be no combination or agree.
ment in any way to prevent the con-
tinuous carriage Of property, wheth-
or carried on one or several rail
roads-no agreement for pooling by
different or competing roads, so as
to divide aggregate or net proceeds,
or any portion of them-no charg-
ing a greater compensation per car
load for a shorter than for a longer
distance in one continuous carriage.
Schedules printed in large, plain
characters shall be plainly posted
for public inspection at each depot
these schedules shall plainly
state: First, the different classes of
property to be carried. Second, the
places between which it shall be
carried. Third, the rates and prices
between such places for all services
connected with the same. There
are minute regulations for the chang
ing of schedules; new schedules
must be posted at least five days be-
fore they go into operation-no more
shall be received than
specified in the schedule in force at
the time. Offenders are rendered
liable to penalties and to civil dam
ages. The bill is meeting with
strong support from all classes Of
citizens.

The Southwestern Publishing House
of Nashville, Tenn, which has made
such a grand success in publishing '"The
Royal Path of Life" has just issued a
new book entitled Drifting" which
promises to still further add to their
reputation. The book is recommended
very highly by several leading literary
men who have examined it, while Its
general mechanical execution, such as
binding, engraving, expensive paper,
ETC., make it of surprising interest to
Southern people. 1t is proposed to sell
it exclusively by subscription, but te
accommodate the public, where no
agents have yet been appointed, they
will send copy of the book, postpaid,
on receipt of the price. This will serve
to introduce it to the people and show
that the assertions of the publisher are
perfectly true. 1t is certainly the finest
book of the kind that has ever been
printed in the South, and, for its size,
by far the most expensive. Any man or
woman out of employment, or not en-
ployed to advantage, can make the book
pay them better than snything else of
the kind they can get to do. The pat
riotism of our Southern people, who are
anxious to see the enterprise of our own
section built up, will cause them to pay
you greater attention than they other
wise would, while the book is in itself
intensely interesting.

AN OPEN LETTER. IT
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
WEST TOwNsHEND, Y

y
Mr.. EDITOR: HaYing read in yOlr
paper reports of the remarkable cures Of
catarrh, | am induced to tell "what |
know about catarrh," and l fancy the
snuff and "inhaling-tube" makers
Cmere dollar grabbers) would be glad if
they could emblaZOn a similar cure in
the papers. For 20 years suffered with
catarrh. The nasal passage became
completely closed. "Snuff," "dust, {"
"ashes, "inhaling-tubes,n and "sticks"
wouldn't work, though at intervals |
would sniff up the socalled catarrh
snuff, until became a valuable tester
for such medicines. l gradually grew
worse, and no one can know how much
I suffered or what a miserable being l
was. My head ached over my eyes so
that I was confined to my bed for many
successive days, suffering the most in
tense pain, which at one time lasted
continuously for 1853 hours. All sense
of smell and taste gone, sight and hear
ing impaired, body shrunken and weak
ened nervous system shattered, and
constitution broken, and l was hawk ing
and splitting seven-eighths of the time.
l prayed for death to relieve me of my
suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper of DR.. Sages's Catarrh Remedy
induced me to purchase package, and
use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche,
which applies the remedy by hydrosta-
tic pressure, the only way compatible
with common sense. Well, Mr.. Editor,
it did not cure me in three-fourths of
second, nor in one hour or month, but
in less than eight minutes | was reliev-
ed and in thee months entirely cured,
and have remained SO for over sixteen
months. While using the Catarrh
Remedy, l used DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify my blood
and strengthen my stomach. | also
kept my liver active and bowels regular
by the use of his Pleasant Purgative
Pellets. II my experience will induce
other sufferers TO seek the same means
of relief, this letter will have answered
its purpose. Yours truly,
adv it S. ID. REMICK.

Before concluding this letter, ask

IT duce to your readers, the name Of Hon
lie R. K. Byrd, of Roane county, who is
v member of the present Senate, and VIII
{. is being spoken of as a suitable man t
carry the standard of estate Credit i
the next GubernatOrial race. Co
Byrd's record is open to the scrutiny G
so the public, and is one of which no hor
th est man need be ashamed. He was
IL Colonel in the Union army during tn
late war, and made brave and efftcier
officer. He is an extensive and success

The .. S. Senate rejected the
eight Supervisors of the Census for
Ohio, as nominated by Mr.. Hayes,
because of the fact that he violated
the spirit of the law in nominating
all from one Qhe Republican, party
in that State. No opposition was
raised TO the confirmation of super
visors from other States. This
snubbing Of Mr.. Hayes for such par
tisan action in a matter of so much
moment to the country will doubtless
apprise him of the fact that he does
not control every department of the
government.

LIVING PRINCIPLES.
Chattanooga Commercial

If the local partisanship of both the
prominent parties have over-colored
their stock of political wares, and our
commonwealth suffered thereby in the
past, the press of both parties can
easily erase all such bad effects. But
the principles OF honor which underlie
the honest payment of public debts
must exist, must take definite shape in
the form of equitable State legislature
snactments, must become living ele-
ment in the heart of the commonwealth,
or there is no hope. The press of Meth.
or party can whitewash over the viola
tien Of living principles, that are the
cOrner-stones-the very foundation of
every successful commonwealth.

LIE NATIONAL DEBT.

The U. S. Secretary of the Treas
urv. in 8 late letter to Hon. W. D..
Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, says: "In
reply to your inquiry relative to the
time required to extinguish the pub
lie debt under existing law, [ have
to inform you that commencing with
January, 1880, if l per cent. Of the
current Indebtedness of the United
States be thereafter annually appli-
ed as a sinking fund, interest being
improved, /. e., compounded, semi
annually at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, it will take thirty six
years TO extingujsh the debt. If.
however, the interest be reinvested
semi annually at the rate Of 4 per
cent. per annum, the period requir-
ed for its extingnishment will be
forty-six aud a half years. In Meth.
er case is interest computed on
amounts already in the sinking
fund" In commenting upon this
Mr.. Kelley said that as
the debt consists of $254,000,000 of
six per cents, the rate of interest
cannot be so low as 4 per cent. dur
inc the coming twenty-seyen years
in which the Government has the
right TO call in all these loans and |
paw them at par without premium.
Even waving the interest on bonds
now in the Sinking Fund, as this
proposes, the process
would extinguish the entire debt in
about forty years, or ten years be-
fore the maturity of the fifty-year,
bonds.

cease their daring sport it will end in a

THE MooREsBURG HOMICIDE. - On
Saturday afternoon, the 18th inst, Elias
Simpson, colored, was shot and killed
by Thomas Moore, white, at MOores-
burg. II appears that there had been
difficulty between the parties some
weeks previous, which was resumed by
the negro Immediately upon their meet
ing. After some words had passed,
Simpson attempted to draw his pistol,
and succeeded in getting it partly out of
his pocket, when Moore fired four shots
in rapid succession, killing him instant
ly. Moore subsequently surrendered
himself to Deputy Sheriff j. n. Will
liams, and on Thursday last an examin-
alton was had before s. E. Dotson,
Esqs the State being represented by
John M Netherland, Esq, of Rogers
Vile, and the defendant by w. s. Dick
son, Esq, of this city. After an investi-
CATION of the facts, the court was of the
opinion that the killing was done in self
defence and the defendant was discharg
