AGRICULTURE.

How TO FEEp COARSE FotDEH.-
Every farmer has more or less Of Goa rsc
fodder, such as straw, corn stalks, mea-
dow hay, and the like, which he is
sometimes puzzled to know how to
dispose of to advantage. If fed to COWS
they soon shrink in milk, and fall out
Of condition and It seems hardly protltss
able to dispose Of it in that way. II
fed to young stock, they will just make
out to live, and possibly hold their own
but usually they 1all OFF in flesh, and it
seems doubtful economy to feed them
III this way. Ii ted to sheep they
scarcely make out to exist under such
treatment, some perhaps dying, and
others falling out Of condition to such
an extent as to greatly, for the season.
injure their usefulness and prOfita ble-
ness. In fact, If fed to any kind OF
farm stock, there are decided dlsadvan-
tages attending the practice, and the
question how to best dispose Of the
coarse fodder OH the farm, is quite fire.
quently an ever recurring perplexity to
the farmer. There are ways, however
we think, In which the coarse fodder
Of the farm may be economically and
judioiously disposed Of. The chemical
analysis Of straw, corn fodder, meadow
hay and such articles, show that to a
certain extent they are incomplete 9
foods, or Ill other words do not contain
d sufficient amount or in the right pro-
portion, Of all the elements OF food re-
quired for the proper nOurishment of
animals. The straw and the corn fodder
nave had the grain removed, ,and are left
In an incomplete condition tor food, and
when ted should have the defllcier oy
supplied. This can be done to the best
advantage by adding cotton seed meal
to the straw and stalks, in this way
supplying the deficiency in heterogeneous
and latty elements. The cotton seed
meal is very rich In heterogeneous and
fatty elements, and offers the most
economical means Of making the straw,
corn stalk and meadow hay equal i'm
feeding value to the best Of hay. If
only half pint to a pint of the meal Ia
TED daily to young stock, decided I'M
provement will be noticeable. AT first
1t would probably have to be mixed
With bran or corn meal to induce the
animals to eat it, but they will soon
relish 1t. Some farmers may think
that they cannot afford to buy cotton
SEED meal to feed with their course fod-
der, but If they will try 1t one season,
they Will be likely to conclude that
they cannot afford to get along without
buying 1t. The gain OH the stock will
amply pay the cost, and the increased
Value OF the dressing will repay 1t again.
The fertilizing elements OF cotton seed
meal are worth the full market price Of
the meal, which affords the cheapest
fertilizer in the market. So that really,
the man who buys it has its tull value
III the dressing made, anu gets the in-
crease on the stock as clear gain.

MAINE.

The supreme court of Maine has just
delivered another opinion, and, as was the
case in the two preceding rulings, the
court decides the Fusion legislature an
illegally constituted body, and that Cover
nor Davis is the only legal governor Of
Maine. That the two opinions preceding
this last one were intensely partisan,and that
the last is equally SO, there is no reason :
able doubt, but nevertheless, there appears
to be nothing for the Fusionists to do but
admit the legality of the decision just
rendered, and gracefully submit to its
requirements. While not recognizing it's
fairness or impartiality, still, the fusion
legislature, having sent the questions to
the court and the court having answered
them, it is clearly the duty of the legisla-
ture 20 obey the courts mandate. 1t was
mistake to refer to the court, whose
judges had eVinced their intense partisan
ship-their ruling could have been antic-
ipated, but Governor Smith and the
legislature which elected him having
submitted the questions to the court there
is nothing left but honorable concurrence
in the decision. Though the Demo
Gratis may and no doubt will obey the
courts last ruling, it is not that the ruling
is regarded as either fair. just or consis-
tent that impels them to obedience, but
because. having asked through the legisla-
ture the opinion of the court, they will be in
duty bound to obey. This will probably
end the present controversy, but it will
not remove the impression that the sup
RENE court judges were Influenced By
purely partisan motives.an that they bas-
ed their opinions not on the law and prece-
dents, but in accordance with their person
al political preferences. While the Re-
publican party have been temporarily
benefited by these partisan decisions,
the supreme court has sacrificed its self
respect and dignity, and in the future, its
rulings, no matter how honestly given will
be open to criticism, and swill never again
command that unqualified respect to
which an impartial judicial decision is en-
titled

The very serious illness of Bismarck
the great German premier, is calling at
tention to the question of his successor.
1t is admitted that his death would be
an almost kirreparable loss to Germany
and grave fears are entertained IN Europe,
that the empire will lose prestige, through
inability to find g suitable substitute for
the great German diplomat. The most
likely personsthus far suggested is sPrince
Hoherlohe. the principal objection being
that he is Bavarian. but this would no.
initiate against him so greatly if he were
possessed of sll the other prerequisites.
He is admitted to be cultured ldiploma-
fist. of largo experience, and emlnently
fitted for the position. but that he lacks
that, which in the present crisis is most
needed, nerve. This latter quality Bis
marck possessed to an unlimited degree
and many grave questions which caused
the Emperor to hesitate. were pushed to
a satisfactory conclusion through the in
dominatable pluck of the premier. Indeed
the high position which Germany now
holds among the European nations is due
not more to the Prussian armies than to
Bismarck's mastery direction of policy
and his able management OF diplomatic
questions, with that nerve and wisdom
which only a great man can possess.
Should Bismarck die without a possible
successor having been named, Germany
would be at sea for a while, and even
should be be spared to train his successor.
his loss would be serious blow to Prus :
sian interests. Great emergencies develop
great leaders, however. and the dreaded
event, now SO gloomily looked forward to
by Germany, may find more ready solu-
ton than now seems possible from the
tenor of the situation at Berlin.

who are gaming in the race against him.
the conclusion is forced, that the inspira-
ton is from those who desire TO have il
appear that they, and not Grant must be
chosen to lead the Republican party. The
harmonious blending of the names Of
Sherman and Blaine, each ahead or behind
alternately, looks rs if the movement
against Grant were not SO much an abhor-
renee of q third term Of Grant, as q
threat from Sherman and Blaine that any
attempt to step between them in the
presidential race, viii end in combina
ton to defeat not only him. but any other
candidate whom the Grant faction may see
fit to name as substitute. 1t looks very
much as If the deliberations of the Chica-
go convention in June, would not be alto
gether harmonious. if indeed, an open
rupture does not follow as the outcome OF
the men who want the prize but cannot
reach it.

This exodus reveals at least this much:
that all the professed love flor the colored

of political hypocrites who, at heart, detest
the negro, and have no use for him except
to use his vote as factor in helping to
