What Brand Saws.

CHICAGO, December Am open letter
will be published here tomorrow from
Rudolph Brand, the Democratic candi-
date for State Senator, from the Sixth
district, to Henry W. Leman, his Re-
publican opponent. Brand says that
while he ran ahead of his ticket elsewhere
and had reason to believe he would do the
same in the Second precinct of the Eight
eenth ward, where it is alleged the fraud
was committed which added 200 votes to
Brands count. Yet, if Leman's claim to
this effect is correct, it would show he
Brand ran behind his ticket in that pre-
cinct. Still from the fact that the ballots
in the box indicate that Leman's
father-inlaw. brother-in-law and
other intimate friends voted
for Brand, he (Brand) is inclined to the
opinion that these ballots are fraudulent.
He, therefore, proposes to Leman hat
they jointly canvass the votes in the en-
tire district. and if it is found that ballots
of a similar character have been deposited
in other precincts the matter will be set
tied by the testimony of voters throughout
the district on the question for whom they
voted.

THE WEEKLY BANNER,
What it Costs to Feed a Cow.

The cost of feeding n COW is an
element of some interest in the
dairy. There are many dairy farms
npon which some selling crops are
grown, and feed is purchased with
the money. AT times this is n
profitable operation. When crops
can be grown that will sell tor
500 up TO several hundred dollars
per acre, it is far more profitable
to raise these and buy feed for the
cows if only the manure is left as
a profit. There are many districts
where dairying is an established
and profitable business, in which
manure is worth SO ton. So that
the keeping of cows upon purchas-
ed food, and the growing of mar
ket crops, hops, small fruits, to-
bacco, and other special products,
may be combined conveniently
and profitably. In these cases the
cows will be kept partly or wholly
upon soiling. Then the questions
arises, what does it cost to keep n
COW?
A crop of moderate size, as Jer-
sey, Ayrshire, or ordinary native,
will consume from 90 to 25 pounds
of fodder and feed daily; the fod-
der being less in amount as !
the feed is increased. And here
an important point comes up, for
sometimes feed can be purchased
as cheap as fodder. Bran and corn
meal are at times rs cheap as hay.
And generally the difference in
this respect is so small that it al
ways pays to use hay or fodder
only in such an amount as will eff
feet the perfect digestion of the
finer food. The writer uses regu-
lar ration of ten pounds of fodder
and ten pounds of meal daily, and
this has been found in several
years practice the best for the
production of milk and the condi-
ton of the cow. Then such "a
ton will cost from Is to rs cents
daily, equal to one and a half
cents quart for 10 quarts of milk,
or fifteen to twonty-fve cents per
pound of butter.-The Dairy.

The Rural New Yorker says
tomatoes raised in poorish light
soil will ripen ten days earlier
than those raised in rich soil. We
know this from the actual test
during the past season. If large,
Snowy tomatoes are wanted, re-
gardless of flavor or time of ripen,
ing, then the rich soil and the rank
growth are needed. Cutting of
all but one or two fruits of the
clusters while they are small and
green will also cause those remain.
ing to grow to larger size.
