Winter Feeding of Cattle.

Chicago lriOunc.
Eastern agricultural papers are discussing
with considerable interest the question whether
or not it pays the Eastern farmer to fatten cat
tie in the winter. The subject is one to. which
some consideration might perhaps be proftably
given by the farmer in the West, for. although
the general custom has been to feed fattening
stock during the winter and turn off in. the
spring. there is much that can be said in favor
of feeding through The summer and marketing
the ripened stock in the autumn or early winter.
In fact, some of the most successful feeders
claim that in States where the land will average
$50 per acre liz value or more, in those east OF
Illinois, winter feeding should be the rule, and
not the exception. Their reasons are that ami
mails will grow faster if well fed with grain or
grass. and make crater increase in weight Tor
a given quantity of feed than the same cattle
would in winter 1t is we'll known that consd-
cradle of the food eaten in cold weather goes TO
keep the animal warm, aud this seems to count
in favor of feeding in the warm months. Inc
labor of feeding is greatly es' ened if not entire
" avoided by those who feed in summer, since
their stock can have access al will to an ample

TIE FIRE RECORD,
Destruction of Many Business Houses in
Brunswick, Ga.


BRUNSWICK, Ca, Nov IA fire in this city
burst forth yesterday morning from warehouse
filled with oil and other combustible material,
situated almost in the heart of the business por-
ton of the city, with the suddenness of an ex-
piosion. A sheet of flame leaping forty feet into
the air, and being carried by the high wind
which prevailed to several frame buildings adioin.
ing the warehouse, the whole vicinity was soon
a roaring furnace. An alarm was sounded, but
only one fire company responded, the negro com
pany failing to putin an appearance. Eventually,
band of white men rushed to the engine house.
and selling the apparatus, drew it to the scene
of the fire. The whites fought the fire single
handed but in this they were handicapped by
the frequent bursting of the hose, and the utter
destruction of the city seemed inevitable. At
last the negroes came to the rescue, their efforts
adding not little in preventing total destruc-
ton
The fire swept down Monk street, east of
Oglethorpe and northward up Grant street,
consuming everything i'll its pathway, lnvad-
ing Newcastle street, the flames devastated
and leveed every store before them, leaving
the city hall the only structure standing on the
street This building was ablaze several times,
but strenuous efforts finally prevented its de
struction
Among the firms burned out were the follow
ing: the postoffice, the Southern Express office,
Putmans livery stable, the Brunswick Club
house. McIntoshs tin store, Glover d. Dunns
notion store, Blane's drug store, Matthew's con
feetionery store, j. B. Wrights clothing store,
F. II. Harriss law Office, Crovatts drug store,
Dexter's bank and insurance Office, Harris's jew
elry store, Flints furniture store and twenty
five thirty others.
The total loss will reach fully 5000 900, and
may exceed that amount. The insurance in
every instance is small, and the aggregate will
not exceed a third of the total loss. Owing to
the confusion which prevails, detailed list of
the losses and insurance is unobtainable.
The Jail was ignited several times but was
saved. Nearly every building attacked was com
pletely consumed few chimneys alone being
left standing.
While the fire. was at its height Stephen Wright,
colored, an employee of Putnams livery stable,
who is believed to have had money secreted in
the hay loft, rushed into the building and up the
stairs. The spectators caught a glimpse of his
form through the smoke and fame, but mo-
ment later the roof fell in with crash, and he
was roasted alive.
Fully score of buildings were consumed, and
the confagration is terrible backset to the bust
ness prosperity of the town.
The origin of the fire is TO be inquired into
with great care, and if the ncendiary's identity
can be discovered his punishment will be speedy.
The con1agration characterized by many
startling scenes and incidents. Many of the
houses were enveloped so suddenly that the sleep
ing inmates were unable to save any of their
effects, and rushed into the streets.

GOYERNOR CLEVELAND.
He Reiterates His Devotion to the Civil
Service Reform Idea.


Letter by the Editor of the Washington Capital.
IL naturally fell to talking with the Governor
about Washington, and asked him if it could
possibly be true, as reported that he had never
visited the capital He replied that there was
no truth in this statement as he had been in
Washington two three times on business al
though never of course, since he became Gov
ernor of New York. He said he had come to 10
decision as to when he would give up his present
Office and prepare to go to Washington, but
learned afterward that, in order to give his sue
cessor in Office the fullest advantage, he would
probably resign the gOvernshp by the
LIST of january This would leave him two free
months in which to devote his attention to the
organization of his Cabinet and the administra-
ton of national affairs. l remarked to the Gov
ernor that his election had been followed by
something like panic among the minor EN-
pOyes of the government at Washington, who
are supposed to hold their places in accordance
with the new civil-service regulations, and in
qured of him whether it might not be worth
while for him to indicate some way IT that were
his purpose, that the spirit of the civil service
regulation would be adhered to after the 4th of
March next. To this the Governor briskly re
piled.
" L think have said enough on that subject.
1t is nlmy letter 1t is in the platform There is
no use trying to beat brains into peoples heads.
Let them attend to their own husiness-et them
attend ~ their own business. ne said repeating
the words in u very decided manner, and with
gesture of the head that indicated more than
the tone in which he spoke. In conversation
the Governor speaks with good deal of ANNA
ton, and the strongest impression one gets
from him is of great frmness and force in ad
herring to Il course once it is adopted. One would
say, Here is man surely who not be driv-
en-, but who will do the driving himself when
ever it be necessary Ore might ask good
deal of such a man, but to demand, | should
think, would be losing business"
