scisnnflo Pig Feedine

Pig feeding experiments of more than
usual value are being made by Prof j. W.
Sanborn, of the Missouri Agricultural Col
iege. Those described in a report issued
under date ofJuly LIST are Of special interest,
since they show plainly that spring pigs
marketed in the autumn or the early part
OF the winter next following their birth are
much moro profitable than are those kept
through the winter. In the course OF these
experiments it was found that two pounds
of food per day per GENITAL of liye pig was
required to keep up the weight Of the I MI
NAL, and that about two pounds more were
used for each pound of growth The aver

that the food was well utilized.

Much Honey with Little Labor.

belieye that the amount of labor really
necessary to get good, fair crops of honey
per colony Of bees has by many writers
been estimated. do not claim that the
plan shall propose will give the very
largest yield which it is possible to get, but
do claim to get a large yield with the
least possible labor. To make this plan g
success, the following conditions must be
observed:
First, the bees must be in a movable
frame, chaff hive, with large storage room.
Second, the bee keeper must have some
knowledge of bees so as to know what to do
and when to do it, Now take for example
a certain colony set apart to test this Ian,
October I, 1882, in the chaf hive, with
plenty Of winter stores, with chaF cush on
in the upper story To cover the bees. The
lid was not raised again until in March,
when it was raised aud a comb or two lifted
just to see for certainty that the queen was
there, and which fact was known by ihe
presence OF brood. 1t was not touched again
until the fruit bloom was nut, and it could
be seen by outward appearances that the
colony was getting strong. Then the cf afi
cushion was removed and at the same time
the surplus combs were placed on, all being
done at one time. Nomore work was done
until July, when fifty and one half p unds
of honey was taken with the extractor, and
the combs again returned and left until
October ]. 1883, when what surplus they
hal was taken.-about fifteen pounds TIE
combs were put away, and the cushi, n
again placed on for the winter.
It will thus be seen that got sixty, Eye
pounds extracted honey, and only opened
the hive four times in the year. They gave
no swarm, but l took bees enough from
them to start a nucleus OR. Farm and

British Capital DistruStI Blaine's Hon.

ME-. EDITOR: In the July number OF
the London Quarterly Repiew there ap-
peared an article entitled Romance and
Reality Of American Railroads" With
the view of enlightening the minds Of
British capitalists, it proceeds to give
an exhaustive and startling account of
our Railway system, and exposes to view
record Of such infamy as would almost
seem impossible. British capital Is
warned by the lessons of the past, and
tho gloomy outlook of the future, to be
cautious. The picture drawn Of the
Enos' and Fisks, the Grants & Wards,
and their operations and failures is sim
ply terrible, and enough to make even q
Wall Street broker blush, and the moral
deduced is we'll put, when the man of
business takes with him to his Office the
spirit and habits of the gambler his fate
is only question of time."
The author then proceeds to some re-
hections OH the decline of stocks, the
panic, the stagnaut nature of the wheat
| market and of trade generally. He pre-
diets that American wheat will neve.
again be SO profitable crop as It has
been in the past, and shows what ere :hs
causes which will dethrone the "Great
West" from her supremacy. The enor-
nous increase of expectation of wheat
from "British India," and the immense
advantage which free trade with India
offers to English and Continental Manu-
facturers.
At the close Of the article tho author
deals In some reflections upon our polit-
ical condition and our pending Presiden-
tial election, aud his words arc as fol.
lows:
"Mr. Blaine is intensely anti English,
but he is moderate in his views in COM
parison with Gen. Logan who might be
President one day, and who us President
of the Senate must exercise great infu-
ence. Should these candidates be elected,
sre do not hesitate to say that it ,could be-
hooue English people TO be tre6iy cautious
how they invested money in the United
States. They ,ciN do arcN TO ,caich the
course Of ercnts very closely. "rhe author
then INDUCES in few dignified remon-
strances against the ungenerous treat
ment OF England by America, and goes
on to say owe repeat our warning, that
for some time TO come the greatest cir
cumspection should be used in regard to
American investments. The facts which
we have given are alone sufficient to sug.
gest the wisdom of this course at all
times, but it is especially incumbent upon
people of moderate means TO follow it
now. For 1t is by no means so certain,
as some Americans profess to think, that
the worst of the storm is over, and that
the year 1884 ill come to an end with
out another startling collapse of great
railroad, or repetition perhaps on a
grander scale of the strange story of
Mr.. Ferdinand Ward"

What was Mr.. Blaine's request?
To obtain by money or otherwise from
Jim Mulligan ell letters, copies of letters,
all the letter books, copies from letter
books, and memoranda of every name

What was the amount to be paid for
the delivery of these3
/ was to pay $1G,Q00if / could not obtain
them for less. Mr.. Blaiue further stated
that Dir, John Cummings, the partner of
Elisha Atkins 6 Co., could furnish all
the money for the purchase of the letters,
and he authorized nie to confer with Mr..
Cumminge about the money to be paid to
MIR. Mulligan If the letters could be pur-
chased.
Did Mr. Elisha Atkins know of this
proposition2
Certainly, He knew of my progress
from tiEna 70 time ahnnt the purchase Of
the letters, and stated that his partner
had all the funds required If the pur-
chase was made as his partner (Mr.
