! The report OF the New Jersey Agri,
cultural Experiment station az filed
with valuable Information relating tr
the experiments conducted by Pref
Geo. ID. Cook, director, one Of the
most important Of which is the feed
| ing test for determining the compare
tive value of ensilage and cured fod-
der corn. The feeding trial was be-
gun on the sixth day of December
Four cows We're selected Trsm the
herd, placed side by side, and fed,
waiered aud exercised at the same
! lime for sixty consecutive days.
During the 6rst period Of twenty
days all four COWS were fed The same
daily rations (made mp fol- each one
Thousand pounds IF live weight oi
twenty ponnds dried fodder corn, two
pounds winter wheat bran and thirt,
pounds brewers grain
During the second period Of twenty
DAYS the daily fation for two of slhe
COWS was the ssioe as during the FIRST
period the other two were fed snsi-
lage instead Of dried fodder corn. Fer
each one Thousand pounds of live
weight this second ration was twenty
pounds ensilage, two pounds wheat
bran and thirty pounds brewers grain.
During the third period all four of
the COWS were fed on The ensilage
ration.
The dried fodder corn was cut and
crushed IN a machine that made IT
palatabIe for TIE COWS to eat After
the first day or two ii was eaten With
out waste. During the second period
one of the cows seemed unable to eat
ell the harder pieces Of ensilage, the
amount wasted, however, being very
small The facts seem 10 show there
fore, that dried fodder corn, when cnt
and crushed, is eaten quite as readily
and with as little waste as ensilage.
The director gives the following
summary Of the facts shown in the ex-
perimeuts:
l. When green corn was dried in
stacks the loss of food was less than
what il was when the corn was packed
in silo.
2. When dried corn fodder was
crushed and cut II was eaten BY the
cows quito as eagerly as ensilage.
3. In three CAGES the yield of milk
was not increased when ensilage was
substituted for dried corn, but Id one
case ensilage caused an increase "
eighty-segen pounds Of milk ID forty
days.
Viewing the subject according to
the facts above presented, it is appa-
rent TINT the preparation Of the food
has much 10 do with its feeding value,
for the director was compelled TO cut
and otherwise prepare The ensilage
before it was packed in the silo, aud,
as be states above, the fodder corn
was not only cut but crushed, its
preparations being therefore com
plete, and conld not possibly be re-
jected BY the COWS. The feed was
gwen according to The live weight Of
The animal. Snch is che method now
in vogue, but ii NAV be an erroneous
system, as digestibility, appetite and
capacity forthe conversion Of food into
flesh, milk and butter are not always
dependent upon the weight Or size Of
the animal.

Matrimonial.

The social event of the week was the mar
riage, on Thursday evening, of Miss LURA
NASH, daughter of John F. Nash, Esq, to
Mr.. CLARENCE GR1GGs, son of E. Y. Griggs,
Esq. The ceremony took place at Christ
(Episcopal) church at 8 p. NJ. The union Of
the young people Of two such old and hon
ored Ottawa families naturally attracted
great interest, and as also large number Of
Invitations had been issued, the church was
filled with friends some time before the hour
arrived for the ceremony.
| The church was beautifully decorated with
flowers, a white marriage bell hanging over
the place where the bride and groom stood,
and from the standards Of the chancel gas.
/ Jets hung on either side floral four. leafed
clover and horseshoe, while in the inches
beyond the rail were masses of flowers.
AS the Wedding March was sounded by
Mr.. A. u. Simon on the organ, the groom
and his best man, Mr.. w. w. Nash, brother
Of the bride, appeared from the vestry and
the bridal procession entered at the process

C. Hit, 6. NJ. Trimble and Geo. Yentzer
leading, the groom meeting the bride al
the chancel steps. The maids were Miss
Florence Nash, her sister, and Miss Gertie
King, daughter Of 8. E. King, Esq, all Of
whom, with the father and mother of the
bride, took places in the chancel. Rev. F. NJ.

brocade silk and diamonds.
The ceremony over, the bridal party and 6
large number of invited guests took carriage:
for the residence OF the brides parents, OF
Ottawa Avenue, where reception was held
from niue till twelve.

Just Surprising.

We gave Forbes Il Flick a call yesterday
to see how this enterprising firm we're pros
pering. To say we were surprised is II mea'
gre way to express our aStonishment at the
amount of business they are doing and the
immense stock OF fall and winter goods on
hand. On entering we found the proprie-
tors busily engaged in making q large in
voice of new goods just received. Being OF
an inuuisitive mind to seek information (the
same as all newspaper scrloes) we took the
favorable opportunity by The forelock, and
the following interview ensued:
,Scri6e-Is not this an unusually large stock
for you to carry?
NJ. F.-No, sir. We are now carrying q
stock OF goods in proportion to our trade
and it would be impossible to accommodate
it with any less.
ScriJe-But it seems very difficult to con.
veniently do business where you have every
available place so packed with goods. You
certainly must be very crowded for room.
Mr.. F.-Well, the room" is the only OBJ
struction in our way now. But you seem to
forget about our new quarters.
,ScriJe-O, yes; l see This explains the
present state of affairs. By the way, when
do you expect to move?
Mr.. F.-By the 10th of October we expect
to have our grand opening. We will have on
display one of the largest and most choice
lines of goods ever seen in this county.
!Seribe-Are you going to make any mate
rial alterations about the building before you
occupy 1t.
Mr.. F.-Ycs the whole building, interior
and exterior, Will be metamophosed in such
q manner as to be entirely unrecognizable
from the present state.
.Scribe-Do you mean all that?
Mr.. +. (,cih smile)-Yes, sir; and more
too.
.Sribe-Have you made any arrangements
as yet for remodeling?
Mr.. ALI have been made. Our shelving
is turned out, the French plate glass at hand
the new iron columns cast and everything
in fact, complete, ready to be placed in posi-
ton on short notice. 1t will make as well
lighted and handsome o store as any in the
city.
.ScriJe-I am pleased to see you in such q
prosperous condition. But fair dealing and
energy should always win. Excuse me if
have intruded on your valuable time, l did
not expect to find things so very
Mr.. F.-Certainly, sir; that Is all right
presume it is your business to 60 around
and
.Scri6e-Yes; we scribes are all over, find
ing out about everything for the benefit OF
the community. Well, good day.
Mr.. F.-Good day, sir. Gail again.

FRUIT AND FLOWER Suow.-On Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 2, 3 and 4,
Strcator is to enjoy the sights of n well.
ordered show of fruits, flowers and vegeta.
bes. That it will be well managed is guar.
anteed by the fact that it is gotten up under
the auspices of the ladies of the Episcopal
Church. Committees have been appointed
in Ottawa Joliet, Pontiac, Fairbury, Bloom
ington, &c, to solicit contributions for the
show, and the reports are favorable for a
generous response from all quarters. The
show is to be held in Oriental Hall, the finest
in the city, and Will be divided into three De.
partments-Floral, Fruit and Vegetable, and
to get up an interest and competition among
exhibitors prizes or diplomas are to be
awarded for the best display. 1t Is hoped
that Ottawa, which was SO generously dealt
with by Streator in the Art Exhibition last
winter, will do herself the justice to respond
to this call with contribution equally
creditable.

Secretary Teller's recent western
trip has convinced him that the time
has come when the Indians Unjust be
handled without gloves" Western
border men will agree with the secre-
tary. In fact they came to the conclu-
sion years ago that the government was
pursuing the wrong policy toward
them, that they have been petted too
much and as a result have become ar
rogant and exacting. There now
seem to be a general demand for a
change of attitude on. the part Of the
government towards them and the hope
is expressed that the evangelical agents
who have been feeding them at the
expense of the taxpayers Of the coun-
try would be instructed to make them
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow as the laboring white men of the
country do. They have the physical
strength to earn it, and If with proper
teaching and aid from the government
they will not do it then let them yield
to a law as interchangeable as that of the
Modes and Persians-the survival OF

STOCK NOTES.

B. B. Wilson, cattle agent of the
Northern Pacific, was at Billings the
other day and stated to a representa-
tive Of the Herald that he had receiv-
ed definite information that the rate
per head on cattle driven through the
Crow reservation had been reduced
from twenty-five cents t. ten cents per
head.
In the course of a business letter
from Henrietta. Tex, ]. W. t. Gray,
cashier of the Henrietta National
Bank, writes: Though there is some

assured that there is not half the ex-
citement over it bhat there is in Kan

The Cincinnati Gazette says: The
Holstein cattle are slowly but surely
winning their way to the front in the
west. We observe the mention Of sew
eral small but fine herds in Ohio, ad-
vertised for breeders. We incline to
believe that the Holstein cattle will yet
rival the Shorthorns in popularity, as
they make excellent beef stock and are
generally good mixers.
The one great cry on the range now
is for more bulls. II is n common
thing for a ranchman to persuade him,
self that he has plenty of bulls on his
range, but the apparent shortage il
owing to the fact that his bulls ar,
with the neighbours cows, who has no
enough cattle of the male gender
Trouble is, nearly everybody has sucl
neighbors. There is no economy il
having the herd scantlly stocked witt
bulls. In fact, it is the height of ex
travagance. You had better buy bull
to supply your misery neighbor rattle
than have your own calf crop cut short
But better yet, buy plenty Of bulls an
keep them under fence. You can pre-
vent them from impairing their usefu'
ness in your neighbours herds, and ca
also regulate the coming of the calves
which is an important thing.
