The Presidents withdrawal of the NOM
nations of friends of Mr.. Conkling in
New York. is move on the political
chess board which is very suggestive to
say the least. Mr.. Conkling's. friends
who have thus been set aside must attri-
butte the fact TO the unreasonable course
of that Senator in opposing the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Robertson. They can point to
him if they will and say with perfect sim
cerity. Thou art the man." If the good
feeling which the making of these nomi-
nations manifested on the part of the
President towards Mr.. Conkling's friends
had been reciprocated by the Senator,
they would not now be in the unpleasant
predicament in which they are placed.
and the harmony of the republican party
would be undisturbed. Mr.. Conkline
may oppose confirmation of nominations
but he has not the power to nominate.
His friends who depend upon him to put
them into office ought to think of this.

Cutting and Grinding Fodder.

WHILE some go so far as to claim
that it pays to grind straw to q fine
powder, others affirm thai for beef cat
tie it does not pay even to cut any fod-
der. Cattle are fully provided by ma
ture with means for masticating their
ordinary food, and we need not be sur
prised to find that both ordinary expert
ence and careful experiments agree in
showing that little if anything is gained
by cutting. In fact it appears from
some experiments that positive damage
is done, as the fodder is not so thor
oughly chewed and impregnated with
saliva, a portion even passing at once
into the second stomach. Cutting alone
can do but little good, even with old
and hard-stalked fodder, without the
softening produced by cooking, for il
can not open the fodder to digestive ac-
ton, nor save much labor of mastica'
ton. By far the greater part of this
labor is expended on chewing the cud
and it is best that the animal should
perform this entirely natural operation
