Rapid Growth Demanded.

An OK, a pig, or any other animal in
tended for meat, to give the most profit
able results, must not be allowed to
cease growing rapidly-the steer, say
until two years of age. and the pig I'M
til nine moths old The old and err
roneous impress on that an animal
must be developed before being fattened
has given way, and it has been the eff
fort of breeders for several years past
to breed stock that W II carry fat, and
hence be suitable 10 kill at any period
of their growth. 1t is a law of physio-
logical growth that the time lost by in
sufficient feeding, or the absence of
sanitary care in the development of an
finals. can never be re orered. In the
first two years growth of a steer the
assimilation of the food and the forma-
ton of the tissues proceed the most ac-
lively. No food is thus lost in the sys-
tenn. all is applied to build up; nothing
is demanded for repairs. After two
years of age, when the period of devel-
opment has terminated, the animal has
not only to feed to keep up life, but to
repair the daily waste of tissues. Then,
Of course. after development, more food
is required to produce pound of flesh
than before and up to that period, when
all vitality is used in developing growth.
Messrs. Gayot and Bowley are admit
ted authorities on all that relates to
horse breeding. The former has re-
championed the plan of giving foals
about one dessertspoonful per day
of bone powder, mixed in the
oats or bran. He testifies
to having received from three depart
ments in France the most satisfactory
accounts of the efficacy of this ad unct
to the rapid and strong development Of
the bony system in young horses. The
elect has been very marked in the case
of farmers rearing colts OH granite or
schistose soils. Other breeders give
the phosphate in its precipitate, or
chem cal form, good quarter of an
ounce daily for animals between one
and two years of age; one-half more
for two or three years. and double the
quantity for horses three or four years.
Professor Pyro advocates the perma-
nent supply of water in cattle-sheds,
so that the animals can drink ut will.
Ordinarily, when stock do not have &C.
cess to water, they are watered only
twice day; the animal takes too much
at time, and perhaps at the improper
moment. If left free with its trough,
the animal may often patronize it .
dozen times during the twenty-four
hours, and in suitable draughts. All
breeders OF young stock should con-
stantly bear in mind that it is good
policy and economy to keep all young
an i,DalS in n onod thrifty srrouin,r con
dition. and for such as are intended
for meat no fear need be entertained of
their taking on too much fat. AMI
mails that are intended tor stock need
not be kept fat, but be sure to keep
them rapidly growing until fully ma
tured.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Ben Butler in Topeka.

Ben Butler has telegraphed that he
will be at Topeka and speak during
the State Fair. He is to speak on the
10th at Topeka, and the State Fair
people are happy. Ben has agreed to
confine himself to pumpkins and sich,
with probably al occasional allusion
TO the Democratic platform. Ben de-
clared in Chicago in the most solemn
manner that he should vote tor the
Democratic nominees, bat that was a
very long while ago, politically, for
Ben, and Ben don't mind living about
such little things as that. The truth
is that Ben's lies, like his political prin-
ciples, never appear to have any effect
on his admirers. lie can be anything,
say anything, do anything, and its all
right. We verify believe Ben could
knock man over after dark, or steal
something valuable, or even follow the
example of Cleveland in perpetuating
for posterity hIs cock-eye, and so far
as a certain element is concerned, il
would be all right. He is the great
and grand American aggregation OF
political monkey business, whose con
iradictions make up "a funny harmony
whose political tricks, INCONSISTENCY and
baseness combined. are denominateo
virtues worthy the highest enoln-
ments.

The Commonwealth is right in say
ing that nothing is to be made by mis-
representing Colonel Holidays poiiti-
cal record. This is especially true in
view of the fact that Colonel Holiday
will not come within 10000 votes OF
icing elected lieutenant governor.
The truth of history is, that in 1859
Colone! Holiday was Democrat
enough TO be voted for for governor
in Democratic conventions; in 1860
he was sufficiently a democrat to be
chosen a delegate to the Charleston
convention, though he did not attend
it. These are the facts, but they are
not important. Colonel Holiday
values The parings of his own toe nails
more than he does any political party.

liday, who says he is proud of rccciv-

The Irish Vote Again

To he Elite, Of the Laiiy Eagle:
The agonizing efforts of the Demo
cratic press TO hold few IRISH votes
in the west by representing that their
brethren in The east are solid for the
Democratic ticket. is amusing.
TIE Beacon clips into the chorus
and closes an article headed, Meeting
of Tammany next Friday" with the
following sentence: "Therc no longer
exists any doubt of general Irish
vote for Cleveland. The Beacon can
hardly claim To be very good author
ity in the premises. 1t might be bet
ter for those anxious To learn the sem
timen;s of Irishmcn in this connection
10 look over the Irish World, the Free
mans Journal aud the United Irish
man of New York, the three great

umbus, Ohio: the Central Catholic, of
indianapolis, Indiana: the Catholic

Catholic Courier. of Buffalo. y. Y.

for Blaine. Every issue OF the Irish
World contains more letters from
representative lrishmen all over the
coun Try. indorsing his course and Civ
ing notice of the organization Of
Blaine and Logan Irish clubs than
would ill three issues of the Beacon.
Alexander Sullivan, late president
of the Irish National League, who
possesses the confidence OF his ccun-
trymen TO such degree that at the
late convention in Boston he was
again rendered the presidency, takes
The stump for Blaine and Logan. Not
day passes that we do not hear Of
some prominent Irishman and life
long Democrat having declared in
favor of the Republican ticket. Now
comes the intelligence that DIR. Charles
Egan, Democrat from away back,
and a gentleman of great social and
political prominence in southern Wis
consin, has come out for Blaine aud
Logan.
The Irish have an excellent memory.
They cannot forget that when Francis
Herman ran for governor of New York
$4,000 Democrats refused to vote for
him because he was Il Catholic. They
have not forgotten that Mayor Grace,
of New York, was bolted by 10000
Democrats for the same reason. The
loyal Orange order Of the British Do
minion Of Canada, recently convened
in Toronto and issued circulars TO
their brethren in the United States
calling on them 10 vote for Clevelcnd.
The Beacon must admit that these
trivial matters are not calculated TO
proposes the Irish mind in favor of
the Democratic candidate.
Ii the Beacon man is anxious TO UNI
derstand the situation from an Irish
standpoint, he must read up. The
writer of this note has in reserve some
interesting facts that might serve TO
emlighten him. see that some fellow
signing himself It" asks the EAGLEif
he can show any Democratic converts
at home If he means converts from
Democracy to Republicanism can give

it will comfort him any.
