Feed the Calves Well.

The Western Homestead
Good feeding Is always profitable, ant
never more profitable than when be
slowed upon young auimals. The
younger the animal the less is the cost
per pound for the increase of flesh OBJ
tained. A given amount of food will
produce more pounds of flesh when
fed to a calf three weeks old than one
three months old. In an experiment
in feeding several calves it was found
that during the first week of feeding
eleven pounds of milk were required
to produce one pound of increase; the
second week, twelve pounds; the third
week, thirteen pounds; the sixth week
fifteen pounds; at the ninth week
seventeen pounds, or a third more thar
the first week. The wise farmer will
readily see the Importance of generous
feeding while the animal is young
The less cost of increasing weight is
not the only advantage derivable from
generous feeding while young. If the
young animal is furnished with SC
scanty supply of food that his growth
is checked and he falls out of condi
ton, he is permanently injured. 1t is
seldom that he can by subsequent good
feeding be brought to as good condi'
tion as he would have attained if the
feed had been good all the time. An
experienced Irish farmer says: "As a
breeder you must be careful not to lose
the calf-hesh. If you do so by starving
the animal at any time of his growth
you lose the cream, the covering OF
flesh 30 much admired by all retail
butchers. Where do all the scraggy,
bad.fieshed beasts come from that we
see in our markets, and what is the
cause of their scragginessp 1t is be-
cause they have been stinted and
starved of their growth. If the calf
flesh is once lost it can lever be re-
gained" Those who wish to have
thrifty, fine-looking animals should feed
well while they are calves.

A Stronger Market Reported-The Usual
Variety Of Stock Rumors.
NEW YoRK, April 2S.-Wall street reports
state that dullness, without pressure to sell,
was yesterdays feature Of the market. After
noon indications Of inside buying were appar-
ent. Mr.. Gould's office bought Missouri Pa
cifc and Mr.. Keene was believed to be cover
ing. The tone of the market grew bullish to-
ward the close, and almost every one last even
ing expected higher prices to-day. An attack
upon the market yesterday afternoon was in
tended. 1t was not known last evening
whether the assault had been postponed or Civ
en- up. The bear party has not changed its po-
sition, and talks lower prices in few days at
farthest A prominent house says the market
is being sustained to protect privileges. A
considerable portion Of the borrowing demand
is cansed by parties who, having stock pledged
as collateral upon time loans, have sold their
stock, bat borrowed stock for deliveries in or
der not to disturb loans.
London bought some New York Central but
sold Wabash and Erie. 1t is alleged that
considerable portion of the London buying has
been for the account of operators on this side.
Prospects for further shipments OF gold are
good.
American cable subscriptions advanced to
126 bid. An operator intimately associated
with Mr.. Gould says that the amended plan for
issuing securities involves the giving of 40
shares of per cent stock guaranteed by the
paid in on subscriptions
An officer Of the Mexican National iRailroad
says there is mint of money for investors in
the company's bonds. The Vera Cruz road
earns annually $25, 900 per mile, and the MexI-
can Central is earning at the rate of $1,000 per
mile yearly.
Brokers identified with the Twenty-third
street party manipulated Lackawanna. In the
loan room they offered to lend the stocks be-
low ruling rates, but withdrew offers whom
borrowers appeared. There was considerable
covering in Denver. Close observers of the
markets say that when the time comes ST.
Paul will be one of the stocks to advance.
London dispatches say sthat Mr.. Gowen is
encountering decided opposition abroad in his
effort to negotiate bonds.
Negotiations for the sale Of another million
dollars worth of land are said to be nearly
consummated by the Northwest road.
Insiders are picking up st. Paul and Duluth
stock.
Mr.. Gould bought some Missouri Pacific yes
terday, and his friends say that the stock is
dangerous sale. On the other hand, houses
lately identified with Gould's movements are
very bearish on the stock Railroad men
lately from ST. Louis say that it is too high.

and was very nervous. He was supported by
warders on either sde and was with difficulty
able to descend the steps of the yard He was
met by Marwood, the executioner, at the foot
Of the steps. The sprisoner was bareheaded.
The operation Of pinioning him seemed inter-
minabe. He submitted without word, and
hardly seemed to realize what was going on.
From the steps there was distance of about
sixty yards to traverse to the gallows. Lamson
was supported with difficulty from this point to
the scaffold. He swayed backward and for
ward, and stared wildly around him when
placed under the moose. The chaplain, who
appeared to be much affected, then began to
read portion OF the burial service. LamsoR
in the meanwhile was supported by two jailers
and his legs were strapped. just before the
cap was adjusted he cast down his eyes with
look OF extreme despair. When the drop Ioll
death was instantaneous. The drop was nine
feetl The chaplain remained by the gallows
repeating the Lords Prayer. The body re-
manned hanging for one hour. The iusual for
NAL inquest will be held this tafternoon. DIR.

terday in consequence of the dangerous illness
of his wife.
Matters in Ireland.
DUBLIN, April 2S.-It is stated Earl Cowpet
has resigned the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland,
and Earl Spencer, now Lord President OF the
Council has accepted the appointment as his
successor.
1t is stated the release OF Dillon and Parnell
will be one of the first acts of Earl Spencer,
the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
A preliminary report of the Lords Commit
tee on the land act takes exception to the mar
ner in which decisions OF the sub-commission-
ers in regard to fair rent were given. The re-
port declares the purchase clauses of the land
act are a failure; it specially recommends that
purchase money be advanced by the State at
per cent, repayment to be made by instalments
Of 81 per cent for &c years or Of 4 per cent for
46 years; that cost of scheme bs betrayed by
church surplus fund; that special depart
ment be created to carry out the scheme, and
all arrears accrued before 1878 be cancelled
and those accrued since be capitalized and add
ed to the purchase money.
1t is rumored Forster, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, will resign his present office for
higher one.

The Star Routes.

In0 SCar ROuCeS
WASHINGTON, April 28.-In the Rsrdell star
route case today Woodward testified to several
cases of expediting routes BY Brady for Dorsey.
Several objections by Col. Ingersoll were over
ruled by the court.
Mr.. Woodward read circular sent out by
Brady with initials "W. H. t." William III.
Turner upon one corner directing postmasters
along certain route to fill up the blanks en-
closed which provided foran increase of service
from two trips to three trips per week, and see
they were within sffty ours. The circular
bore upon the back reply from postmasters
approving the increased number OF trips but
protesting against expedition to fifty hours be-
cause it was immaterIal and impracticable. A
letter from Dorsey to Brady in Rerdell's hand
writing was also read concerning an increase
of service on the same route. Another en-
dorsed petitions was filed with the department.
for increased service, saying the service is me-
cessary to hist Dorseys) personal knowledge. An
other letter from Dorsey to Brady was read
which the prosecution claimed would show
Dorsey knew petitions were being prepared in
advance of their reception at the department.
In answer to Col. Ingersoll Mr.. Woodward
said tner ewere many petitions and papers ofEa
similar nature endorsed by other senators and
member than Dorsey. No suspicion OF fraud
was entertained in those cases.
Col. Ingersoll read a petition upon which an
increase on route mentioned iii Brady's Cir
cular was based. 1t had over s150 signers be-
ginning with the surveyor general of the terri
tory aud embracing the names of civil and
military officers, and prominent citizens. He
also read letters from Senator Chaffee and 9TH
er prominent persons urging upon General
Brady an increase OF his route.
Col. Ingersol said TO be consistent they
should all be Indicted for conspiracy. 1t was
ridiculous TO suppose these names we're forger-
ies He asked Mr.. Merrick to point out even
one name which he knew to be forgery. Mr..
Merrick replied he could not himself but
would have witnesses here who would prove
them fictitious or forgeries.
Col. Ingersoll again resumed cross-examina-
tion of Mr.. Woodward, in its course going over
in detail all letters and papers presented in his
direct-examination Thursday next was fixed
for resumption of the case and the court then
adjourned.
