Experiments in Feeding.

The superintendent of the model form at
Guelph, Canada, gives''as below the results
of some experiments made there in cattle
breeding.
]. A steady frosty winter is better than an
open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average 2 or ; year old steer will
cat its own weight of different materials in |
two weeks.
3. Two or year-old cattle will add one
third of pound more per day to their
weight upon prepared hay and roots thai
upon the same materials unpreparsd.
4. 1t is 80 :per rent. more profitable to
premature, and dispose of attening cattle at
two years old than To keep them up to three
years.
| 5. There is no loss in feeding a cattle
beast well upon a variety Of materials for
the sake Of manure alone.
9. Farm-yard manure from well-ftd cat.
tie years-old.is worth on an average Of
So 30 per ton.
Z. A 3-year-old cattle beast, well fed will
make at least one ton Of manure every
mon h Of winter.
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay for
the direct increase to its weight from the
consumption Of any kind or quantity OF
food.
9. On an average il costs twelve cents
for every additional pound Of ll,sh added to
the weight Of q 2 o. S,year-old fattening
steer.
10. In Canada the market value Of store
cattle can be increased thirty-seven per
cont. during six months Of finishing by good
feeding.
IL. In order 10 secure safc prodt,no store
cattle beast well done to, can DO sold at less
than Al cents per pound dive weight).
IL. In the fattening Of wethers, to finish
ss sherlings, the Cotswcld and Leicester
grades can bo made up to 200 pounds, the
oxford-down lsO pounds, and the South
down (grade) 16O pounds each, live weight.
l3. A cow wintered upon two tons and
a halt Of hay will produce not far from
Eve tons Of manure, provided she be well
Uttered and none of the excrements shall be
wasted.

Poultry which it is not intended 10 win
ter, arc 10 be iattened before really severe
weather comes on, otherwise money will be
lost by them. They will barely hold their
own in December on feed which caused
them to increase rapidly in weight month
earlier. Thos' who have watched the mar
ket, know shat autumn prices u,u- ly are
highest a little before, and Z III 10 after
Thanksgiving, say before the middle of No
Yembcr, and soon AFTER the first Of Decem-
Der. The reason is, that those who are fat
tening poultry keep them back for a short
time before Thanksgiving day, and before
Christmas time, in order To get them in
prime order for sale at those times. The
result is usually on over-st0cked market,
and plenty or cheap poultry. Soon after the
first of January, prices go up again, aud
we'll they may, far one or two months iced
has been consumed, aud very little weight
added.

AdulteratiOn

Congress has under consideration bill
which is intended to prevent the adulteration
Of food and drugs. 1t gives the secretary of
the treasury power to appoint board of ana
lyss and inspectors 10 determine whether this
or that article is impure; and to protect all per-
sons from any unjust decision of the board,
the bill carefully provides for a re-examinaton
at the instance of any one feeling agrieved,
and gives him ample remedy when the board
may have done him wrong. 1t is a well
known fact that the list of articles of necessity
and luxury that are commonly aduterated IS
an extensive one, and it would be great boon
to the community if stop could be put to the
nefarious business Of adulteration by
government regulations; but common sense
business men do not believe that it can be. 1t
is said that so long as the people demand
cheap things they will be supplied-that the
ingenuity of manufacturers and traders is
quicker and wiser than the law which, exper-
sence shows, is constantly outwitted and
evaded 1t is also said that there are great
many people who complain hastily and I'M
reasoningly of adulteration. They want ev-
erything pure and cheap, and when the trades
man or shopkeeper fails to meet such ideal
requirements he is blamed, as if every one
could know the precise character of all he
buys and sells. The successful manufacturer
and tradesman are those who offer goods at
tractive in name, appearance and price, what
ever NAV be their real merit. Now if a law
can be enacted that will see to it that the ar
ticles of prime necessity are honestly labeled,
long step will be made toward educating the
people in good morals and in the protection
of health

Wall Street and Speculation.

Wall street has been called the barometer
of the financial condition of the country. To
a certain extent the statement is undoubtedly
true, but we think that no one can form cor
rect idea of our national business condition IT
he bases his opinion on the operations OF the
stock exchange. Yet the popular belief is that
the few score Of New York brokers hold in
their hands the destinics of'a large share OF
our business enterprises. If by Wall street is
meant the bankers and capitalists of the me-
tropolis, then it must be admitted that their
action, prompted by their opinions and in
formation, is evidence of what is our real
financial status. But the hungry horde OF
spectators, scramblng among themselves,
and wild over efforts to depress this stock or
initiate that, have no claims for any special re-
gard, and more than the bucket shops have,
except that they are more responsible The
speculative mania, the insane desire to become
rich in day, has supported these members
of the stock exchange. There has been
seeming pause in this rash and fool
ish action on the part of the inno-
cent but presumptuous amateur specu-
lators, the sheep have been shorn OF
their heeces, and there has been gradual re-
turn of values to a sounder basis. With this
subsistence Of imitation many have been ruined,
and others have been brought to their senses,
but the country is all the better off for it.
Brokers are no longer deluged with orders to
buy this or that stock, nor furnished with
funds with which to embark in speculation;
business is dull on the stock exchange, and it
is good sign. Facts and reason seem to be
at discount in the stock exchange. and we
read of the widest and most improbable ru-
mors affecting the prices. The pernicious et-
fects of this state of affairs would be greatly
lessened if people could only know the true
animus of the Influences that are brought to
bear. If the lawmakers would turn their at
tention more to checking the evil results OF
speculation, instead of catering to the whims
Of demagogues, we would be better off: The
country is all right, our industries are all right,
our trade is all right, but the prevailing spirit
of speculation is all wrong.
