WINTER FEEDING.

The subjct Of preserving green material
for winter feeding is attracting a great deal
of attention throughout the country al
though the Eastern stockraisers at present
seem to lead in the agitation. In that
section of the country where pastures are
necessarily small, and worn out from con-
tinual use, it has become matter of vital
Importance to preserve feed for use during
the winter months, thus escaping the high
prices which rule for corn and other grain.
The matter has been for years source of
study, and the inventive genius of the
enterprising stock-men of that section has
at last resulted in the oslo, an arrange
ment that fills every requisit of press
and preserving bin for green materials.
Ensilage thus cared for places feeders
in the older portions of the country in a
position to successfully compete with
Western beef producers. 1t is claimed
that by using this process of preserving
feed it is possible to atten cattle to as
good advantage as when fed in the open
field and upon growing grasses. 1t will be
many years before "silos" will meet with
anything approaching general favor in
the West, where facilities for grazing are
we'll nigh exhaustless; but as the country
becomes settled and pasture farms become
toovaluable for that exclusive purpose, any
invention that will preserve feed must in
the nature of things become popular and OF
general usefulness. In the Statesof Illinois
Indiana, and Ohio particularly there are
localities where the question OF ensilage
must shortly become an interesting one.
T., - 10 hPInO
cramped even now for room, and the mar
kets affording such inducements to sell
every description of cereal which they may
raise, the importance of preserving corn
stalks and all kinds of grasses in a green
state cannot be over estimated. "There's
millions in it." and feeders will consult
their interests in taking advantage Of an
idea that guarantees them cheap feed,
and the consequent increase OF profit
which must naturally follow.

THE Chicago Evening Journal, one of
the fairest and most conservative Repub-
lican newspapers in the country, speaks
in the following complimentary terms OF
the new President:
Thus far the new President starts of
well, and his behavior since the late Pres.
ident was shot has been so dignifed,
modest and respectful towards that por-
ton Of the Republican party to which Mr.
Arthur does not belong, that it has made
him hosts of friends, and tie country has
freely forgiven him for the mistake he
made last spring when he went to Albany
to try and help to advance the ambition
OF Roscoe Conkling. His little inaugural
speech WAS admirable and every way in
good taste-conservatiye, high-toned and
patrio,ic-so that he enters upon the dis
charge of the responsible duties before
him under as favorable auspices as could
reasonably be expected.

SITTING BULL PEACEFUL.-ST PAUL,
Oct. 1-Advices have been received from
Fort Randall, dated the Goth ult., stating
that Sitting Bull has made formal de-
mand through Col. Andrews, for permission
to visit Washington and take with him
Gall and about dozen other representa-
tive men of his tribe. Failing in this, he
desires that some one especially commits
stoned by the Great Father be sent to
visit him, or that he be informed over
the Great Fathers own signature what
is to be done. Bull expresses himself salts
fled with his'present location and says that
his people must go to work and raise a
living out of the ground, To this end he
asks that his people be supplied with
wagons, plows, horses and cattle, and
white mems clothing, with wagon and
double team for himself

THE PROHIBITION TICKET.


The Prohibition ticket for state officers
placed in the field last week at Madison
by the ultra temperance advocates can
have no other effect upon the canvass
this fall than that of jeopardlzng the
chances for the success Of the Republican
state ticket, and in a corresponding ue
gree adding to the probability OF demo-
cratic success. 1t has long since become
a maxim in politics that the democratic
temperance advocate never allows his
temperance principles to stand between
him and the success of the dear old demo-
cratic party and he is found on election
day voting the democratic ticket straight;
while his Republican brother, true to his
advocacy of the temperance cause Is car
ried away on side issue, and for the
sake of being what he deems consistent,
renders support to the prohibition or tenn
perance ticket. 1t is useless to deny the
fact that the prohibition ticket headed
by Theo. ID. Kanouse, for Governor, is
the strongest temperance ticket ever pre-
scented in Wisconsin, and evidences are
not wanting going to show that extra ex-
ertions will be put forth in its behalf. We
concede to the ticket 5000 votes, which
will mostly come, it is very apparent,
from the Republican party, but we be
lieve this loss will be fully made up to
the Republican state ticket, by the firm
and united stand taken by the German
Republicans in favor of the Republican
nominees, since it is seen that the Re-
publican party of Wisconsin does not in
tend to make the teetOtal question one OF
its tenets. The Prohibitionis,s are really
playing the role of assistant democrats.
Since the action of the Prohibition con-
vention the democrats consider that the
chances for electing their ticket have I'M
proved fifty per cent. Every one must
see that the choice of state officers lies
between theRepublican candidates on the
one side and the Democratic on the other.
Whatever, therefore, is done that results
in the injury of the Republican party
must in the same ratio help the ceno-
cratic party. What can ever be accom-
plished for the temperance cause by the
success of the democratic party is one Of
the most puzzling problems Of the day.

THE Scotch farmers demand a much
more sweeping measure Of land reform
than that granted 20 the Irish farmers.
The London Times says of the land bill
drafted by the Scottish Chamber of Agri-
culture, and which will be pressed at the
next session Of Parliament, that it ''is one
of the most far-reaching measures on the
land question ever yet submitted to Par
lament. Lord Derby, writing of the Irish
land bill, AYERS that it was a yielding to
pressure from the Land League: that it
only precedes the demand for an Irish
Parliament, and that the struggle has
really just begun.

THE GUITEAU CASE.

Yesterday at Washington the foreman
of the grand jury proceeded to the Office of
the District Attorney and placed in Cork
hills hands presenment against
Charles J. Guiteau "for the murder of
James A. Garfield, President of the Uni
ted States, by wounding him with bull
let fired from a pistol in the hands of
Charles J. Guiteau, at the Baltimore q
Potomac depot, on or about the second
day Of July, A. d. 1881
George Sceville, Guiteau's brother-in-
law and counsel, has arrived at Washing
ton and paid visit to the prisoner at the
jail, and later had an interview with dis
trict attorney Corkhill relative to the
manner Of proceeding with the trial.
The District Attorney informed Scoville
he intended to pursue the usual course
in murder cases. Scoville intimated he
intended 20 rest Guiteau's case on the
plea of insanity, and said at the proper
time he would ask Tor necessary QeIay 70
enable him to procure witnesses from a
distance to establish this plea.
A dispatch from Freehold, New jersey
dated yesterday says: Justice Scudder,
of the Supreme Court, in an address to
the grand jury, referred to the case of
Guiteau and said: at will not be ad-
visable or necessary for you to take any
action in the matter at the present time,
unless we shall be notified that the prose-
cution and indictment of the ofense in
this county are required to prevent a
failure of justice, which does not now APP
pear probable, according to the statement
made the proper legal authority of Wash
ington.'

Catarrh is the fOrerunner of Bronchitis. ASth-

tarrh Influenza has occurred many times il this
country as an epidemic, but Nasal Catarrh us it
usually appears first is the result of neglected
cold, mauifesting itself by fetid discharge
from the nose, also dripping down the throat,
weak eyes, deafness, loss of voice, loss of SMELL
disgusting odors, nasal deformities, and finally
consumption. From first to lastit is aggressive.
Thousands suffer from this disease no, knowing
its nature, or the great danger in neglcctlng it,.
Many thousands are dying with Consumption,
who a short lime ago had only Catarrh. Its al
so the fOrerunner of many Il oublesOme diseases,
producing Biliousness, Dyspepsia, Constipation,
DiarrhGa Bladder and Kidney affections. In
some cases Catarrh produces Neuralgia, alling
of the Hair, and Premature Grayness, Erysipe-
las, Pleurisy, violent cough and Inflammation
of the lungs.
Deafness is another serious complication of
Catarrh, and yields readily to our treatment.
We give special attention to the treatment of
the following complaints:
Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption
Catarrhal Headaches and Deafness, Pleurisy,
