A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat (Rep.) says of the suddenly
suspended Treasury investigation: ga
little further down beneath the over
coats and bay rum, and lunches of forty
candle power, would have been found
still richer ore. So far the committee
have been surface mining. A little
deeper they would have struck woman
perhaps two women. There has been
some surprise expressed that the woman
in the case had not been discovered.
She has turned up in sealskin cloak
worth $3.50, and diamonds and other
trappings to match" Probably Secre-
tary Window thought when the woman
was reached he had arrived at the bot
tom of the scandal, and need go no fur
ther. Probably Congress at it next ses-
sion will not be so easily satisfied.

The point made by the Democratic
members of the New York Legislature
that the ballots of last Saturday for
United States Senators were illegal, be-
cause there was not quorum Of both
houses present and participating, may
become prominent yet in the controversy
1t is true the presiding officer overruled
it, but the action of the Democrats
in maintaining their position shows
that they do not regard this dc.
cision as final The only place where it
can be brought up in future is in the
United States Senate. The Federal law
requires that if no person receives ma
iority Of votes for United States Senator
con the first day, the joint assembly
shall meet at twelve o'clock, merid-
ian, OF each succeeding day during
the session of the Legislature, and
shall take at least one vote, until Sena-
tor is elected" In the ballots of Satur
day there was present just one-half of
the Senate and majority of the Assem-
bly,, making a majority of the member
ship of both houses; but the Democrats
maintain that there should be majority
of each house present in order to have
legal ballot The law requiring the two
houses of a Legislature to meet in joint
assembly for the election of Senator
says that ''the person who receives a
majority of all the votes of the joint as.
sembly, majority of all the members
elected to both houses being present
and voting, shall be declared
duly elected" The credentials of
the two Senators who shall
be elected from New York must be sub
mitted to a Senate having Democratic
majority, in consequence of the two
New York vacancies. Should the
present Legislature fill these vacancies,
the admission of the two men chosen to
seats in the Senate, next December,
would Immediately give control of that
body to the Republicans. In exercising
its right to pass upon the qualifications
and election Of its members, the
Senate could take cognizance of
the point now raised by
the Democrats in the New York
Legislature, viz: that as there was not
quorum of the Senate present and voting
on one day the ballots taken on that day
were illegal; and that the joint assembly
not having, on that day, taken ballot,
in the meaning of the law requiring 'at
least one ballot" to be taken daily, all
subsequent proceedings of the joint as
sembly in connection with the election
of Senators became illegal. One
of the Democrats at Albany on
Tuesday cast his vote under
protest, alleging that the proceed
ings were illegal; but whether this per-
sistency means that the point of order
raised is intended as the basis of con-
test in the United States Senate or not,
has not yet been developed. Ex-senator
Conkling is reported as agreeing with
the Democratic view of the laws re-
quirements as to a majority of both
houses" but, as a rule, the Republicans
maintain that majority of the entire
membership of both houses, without
regard to how many of each house may
be present, is what the law requires.

There are indications that the princi-
pie of bi-metallism is gaining ground in
England. A considerable portion of the
commercial public already regards the
single-standard policy as injurious to
trade, and a petition asking the govern
ment for relief is in circulation. Even
the very conservative Bank of England
is said to be already willing to make
'some slight concession in favor of sill
YER" The stubborn adherence of Eng
land to the gold standard has heretofore
been the rock upon which all attempts
to effect an international double stand
ard have split.

Edison, who has faded a little from
view during the past few months, and
who does not receive that daily notice he
was wont to, has again come to the front.
Heis preparing his exhibit for the French
Electric Exposition. which will take
place in a short time in Paris, and pro-
poses to make such a show there as will
astonish foreigners and show that in the
way of electrical inventions America
leads the world. His exhibit will en-
brace no less than twenty-five groups,
including every instrument invented by
him-electric generator, lamp, gold and
stock indicators, telephones, phone
graphs, and multitude of others. Every
thing seems to point to the certainty that
the exposition will be a great success,
and that it will bring about good results
in the development and improvement of
the science and study of electricity.

The late English census shows that
the city of Londcn, including all its vari-
GUS municipal divisions, contains 3,S14,-
81 inhabitants. The increase in ten
years has been $50, 81. or little over II
per cent, the addition being more than
the total population of the city of
Chicago. London is by far the largest
city in the world. If London should
continue TO increase at the same rate as
it has during the last twenty years it
would contain about 1000, 900 people in
1925. The city has increased one-third
in twenty years, and is three times as
large as it was sixty years ago. 1t con-
tains nearly as many inhabitants as the
six chief cities of the United States.

Dion Boucicault, dramatist and play
er, is again a single man, made so by a
New York court granting Mrs. Agnes R.
Boucicault absolute divorce, allowance
of $500 for counsel fees and $4,000 a
year alimony. The marriage of the par
ties was admitted by Boucicault, who,
in his answer to the charge of adultery,
simply said that he need not answer
the scandals" which the Judge con
strued as an admission of the plaintiff 5
charges. The Judge found nothing in
the case in the slightest degree rejecting

The Republican politicians in Wash
ington say that the appointment of son
of Representative Murch, of Maine, to a
position under the House of Representa-
tives is bid for the Greenback vote in
the organization of the next House.
There may be something in this, although
Mr.. Murch has in the EAST voted about
as often with the Democrats as against
them.

be fed on distillery slops. but the quality
is very much inferior to cOrn-fed beef.
Onions, cabbage, clover, and filthy water,

and milk of the cows to which they are
fed Pork made from corn is very much.
superior to the swill fed article When
fine quality Of eggs and chickens is desired,
poultry should be vigorous and healthy, 10
order that their digestive organs may do
their duty. Care should be taken to see
that the poultry house is properly VENT,
lated and not kept too warm, as vitlated
atmosphere has very much to do with the
proft and health Of the flock. Poultry, to
be kept pro6tably, must be watered, housed
and fed abundaHtly. with frequent changes
in diet The ponltry-keeper who attends
TO these details may reasonably expect to
realize considerable profit. Some profit

ENSILAGE.

The following has been issued from the
New Jersey Agricultural Experimental
station at New Brunswick:
In this bulletin We give the results o. a
feeding experiment with corn ensilage.
On November 16 four cows of native
breed were taken from the herd at the
College Farm, placed side by side in the
same barn and for term of ninety-one
DAYS were fed, exercised and MIXED at
the same time.
During the first period of twenty-eight
DAYS a ration was divided among them,
made up of twenty-tw and one-half pounds
of clover hay, forty-nine pounds of wheat
straw, seventy-6ye pounds of brewers
grains, seventy-fye pounds of turnips and
seven aud one-half pounds Of cottonseed-
meal 1t was calculated to furnish daily
to each 900 pounds of live weight, 20
pounds digestible proteine, 0.5 pounds di-
gestible fat, 12.5 pounds digestible carb-
hydrates, this being according to German
investigators the necessary amount OF food.
For the second period of twenty eight
DAYS no change was made in the ration
fed cows No. l and No. 2, while in that
fed No. 3 and No. 4, 100 pounds of en-
silage was substituted for forty pounds of
turnips; in other respects it remained the
same as that fed during the first period;
it furnished daily to each l 900 pounds of
lie weight $50 pounds digestible pro
teine, O.9O pounds digestible fat, 1870
mounds digestible carbohydrates
This was fed in order to determine
whether an increased amount of the heat
producing compounds, fat and starch, was
rendered necessary by the severity OF the
weather The additional food caused no
increase 10 the yield of milk; cows No. l
and No. , on the poorer ration gave dur
ing this period more milk than durinS the
preceding.
Our intention thus far was to ascertain
the quantity of food required to keep
these cows up to their full yield of milk,
For the third period, of five weeks, end
ing February IL, No. l and 2 were fed
the same as during the first and second
periods; to No. 3 and an equal amount
of digestible food was given daily, in l2O
pounds of ensilage and FIVE pounds Of cot
tonseed-meal per COW; 1t was eaten without
waste and with apparent relish.
We tabulate below the yield Of milk for
thirteen weeks. 1t must be remembered
that during the first period all four cows
received the same ration; that during the
seeond and third periods cows No. / and
, received the same as during the hrsii
that cows No. 3 and we're fed during
the second period with an unusually rich
ration, and during the third period with
one made up of ensilage and cott0aseed-
meal alone, containing, however, an amount
of food equaa to that fed during the hFst
period.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1881-04-30

An opportunity is here offered to call
attention to the fact that up 90 certain
poiat the Weld Of milk may be Influenced
by the quantity Of digestible food, but be-
yond this point, which is determined by
breed. time Of ealVing and individual pc
euliarity. an increased amount Of food fails
10 increase the yield Of milk; ensilage can
produce no more milk than any other fod-
der which contains an equal amount
of food, poiet well illustrated By the
above table.
while the yield Of milk and its percent
ace of butter cannot be Increased at viii,
Il Is we'll known that its quality may be
very materially influenced by the feeding.
Il IS claimed for ehsilsge that il makes
awinter butter equal TO june batter. !
claim willingly admitted, butter made from
The fodder being to our knowledge OF IN
usually fine color and favor.
The composition of ensilage is by no
means constant Soil, variety of corn,
method of planting and cul.iyating, and
above all the time Of harvesting, exerts
decided inhueaee on It's quality.
The amount of ensilage to be nsed de.
pends entirely upon its quality and upon
The plans Of the farmer.
Mr.. Mills, for instance, could make up
a full ration for COW Of 900 pounds live
weight. by feeding daily eighty pounds Of
his ensiiaee and five and one half pounds
of eottoRseed meal; while at the College
Farm with Eve pouads Of cottonseed-meai,
one hundred and tweaty pounds were ne
cessary. In these rations nearly ali the
earbhydrates needed aud portion Of the
proteine and fat are furnished at very
low price by tue eRsiIage; the balance Of
the proteine and fat Is drawn from the cot
tonsecd-meaI If desirable much small
Ter quantity Of ensilage could be used and
the Carbohydrates given in form OF corn
neal or any feed rich in these compounds;
in ensilasc, they can be had, however,
much cheaper than N aay feed known TO
us Mt present. One thing must be con-
sidered-if the quality of the ensilags
obliges the farmer to feed his COWS more
than eighty or ninety pounds daily PEI
head, there is reason to fear that they Eid
sour. The amounts fed by the above
named gentlemen have varied from sixty
five to eighty pounds, aud With these
amounts no trouble whatever has been ex,
perieuced. We therefore eonclade that it
tie ensilage is of first-class quality, eighty
pounds per day will furnish an animal with
ihe full amount Of carbohydrates if it is OF
medium quality it viii be safer to limit
the amouat to about ninety pounds, fur
aishiag the rest of the carbohydrates IN
form Of feed or stray.
From the above experiment we feel jus
tilted ia concluding that milk COWS can be
safely fed large quantities of this fodder,
aud that it Is a perfect substitute for hay.
