The Holstein breed is large, black
and-white in color, makes rapid growth,
and produces the best of veal and beef.
Many instances are recorded of q gain
in live weight of three to four pounds
per day.
The American climate is one Of the
healthiest in the world for live stock.
There are no virulent diseases prevalent
here, but few which are wholly pre-.
ventable, by proper sanitary precautions.
Animals are animals. Both quadrupeds
and human beings are made of one
blood in this respect, and as We lave
learned that filth, exposure drunkenness
vice and glnttony produce nearly all the
prevalent diseases among mankind, 30
filth, exposure and improper feeding
produce 80 per cent Of the losses among
our live stock.
Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin
Experimental Farm, et Madison, Wis,
holds that it is wise economy on the
part of the farmer who has q great straw
stack, and small herd of cattle, and
some hay, and who will not enlarge his
herd, tosell the hay at 81 or IS per ton
and spend the money in buying bran at
$11 and e12, and feed it with the straw,
together with some oil-meal. Good,
bright straw is made equal to hay by the
addition of the protein in the bran and
meal, and the whole is thus made into q
far better quality of manure than usually
comes from the usual way of feeding
the hay and half wasting the straw.
Says the Live Stock Journal: There
is limit to which the flow ofmilk may
profitably Ike carried. If the secretion
is crowded too hard the product becomes
vitiated, more watery and decays sooner.
Scattered globules Of blood are of fre.
quent occurrence in the large yields of
milk, and the larger the yield the more
numerous they are apt to be. Occa-
sionally, at the last end of milking, the
blood will flow out nearly purs. When
this extreme has been reached the Sc
cretion is to large, and it may he re-
me1ied by leaving back part of the
milk at each milking till the flow dried

Wood ashes are one Of the most val
liable fertilizers that a farmer can apply
to his soil. For root crops of all kinds,
grasses, clover, ETC., they will be found
Just what is needed to stimulate and
feed the crop. The ash is the mineral

Horses in state of nature never wear
shoes and are never lame. It is only
when they are civilized and brought
under the mlsmanagement Of civiliz-
alton that they suffer from tender and
diseased feet. It is quite possible for
horses to he used to 90 barefooted il
they are trained to it, but it is with
them as it is with men, the soles of the
feet become hardened by the use and
softened by the protection Of alloes.
On soils that are free from stone it is
quite possible to work horses without
shoes and very beneficially; the sole
thickens; the hoof crust is worn down
naturally; the frog protects by its elas-
tic cushion the whole foot and disease is
averted. The common navicular dis,
ease may be cured by taking of the
shoes and permitting the horse to 60
barefoot, first in the field and afterward
on the roads, when these are not too
rough and stony.--N. Y. Times.

A young calf cannot digest solid food,
and if it cannot be fed upon milk some
substitute for this of similar character
must be provided. The food at any rate
must be liquid and must be easily d.
gestible. II sweet whey can be pro-
cured this may be mixed with Cruel
made of linseed- oil cake meal, which is
perhaps the best material that can be
found, but it must he we'll boiled, light
ly salted, and added to the whey to
make Q drink of the same temperature
as new milk. OF this from two to three
quarts may he given at meal twice q
day. Without the whey water in which
bran has been boiled may be used, and
the addition of little oatmeal to the
bran would he useful; in this case one
ounce ofsugar should he added to each
meal Of the Cruel. II tho calf does we'll

change should be made for month,
when the quantity should he gradually

some grass also should be supplied.

The cut-worm is the dread of the corn-
grower. Like the worm which cut
Jonah's gourd, this was the squash bug,
and not worm,) it comes in the night,
and in the morning the mischief only
can he seen; the devastator is quietly
hiding until night comes again. The
best preventive against the worm is lime
slaked with carbolated water. Abushel
Of lime slaked with one-third its weight
(26 pounds or3 gallons) of water, to;
which pint of carbolic acid is added,
will make q fine. dry powder which is
exceedingly caustic and has strong
odor of the acid. A small quantity Of
this placed in ring around each hill
will stop the approach of the worm,
which comes on the surface from hill TO-

with lantern Of night. The worms|
may be killed by batting them with as

and busted on the stem with flour mixed

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION BUILD
TNH.

Description of the Structure as Prepared
Ter the Use of the Republican and DEM
ocratic National Conventions.
CHICAGO, May 27.-That portion of the
Exposition Building in which the Repub-
lean National Convention is to be held is
now being put to use by the May Festival.
|. Is wide area of space covering 81, $50
Square feet The immense floor, 175x35O
feet, is divided into two amphitheaters.
seven aisles and two galleries. The amphi-
theater at the north end of the hall contains
the stage, on which are arranged 1900
seats. During the convention one thousand
of these seats will be reserved for invited
guests and the remaining three hundred
will be occupied by the officers of the con-
vention, members of the National Commit
tee and guests of honor A space contain
ing three hundred seats Immediately in front
OF the stage will be reserved for the press,
and the ground floor under the stage has
been arranged for committee-rooms, tele-
graph offices and dressing-rooms. The
seven large aisles on the ground floor con-
tain $50 seats for the delegates and alter
mates, and 2, 795 seats for the general pub
lie. The latter will also have the use of the
1925 seats in the ailiphitheater at
the south end of the hail. and of
the 1000 seats in the two gal
leries at the east and west sides of the hall,
making 8, 720 seats in all for those who are
fortunate enough to secure tickets of admis-
sion. No provision has been made for an
orchestra during the convention, unless the
musicians are placed in one of the galleries
or ~ @I,
building.
The means of entrance and exit are adj
mirably appointed. One large double door
at the north end of the hall next to the en-
CINE house serves for the occupants of seats
on the stage and members Of the press, sep
arate corridors leading from the lob
by to the various departments From
the large lobby of the main en-
trance, at the foot of Adams street,
three large double doors lead to the
seats for the delegates and alternates and to
the stairways for the galleries, and seven
corridors, painted yellow, blue white, red,
brown, green and orange, corresponding
with the color of the tickets-lead to the
aisles on the ground floor and to the seats
on the amphitheater. Adding standing
room for one thousand to the nine thousand
seats the hall will comfortably hold ten
thousand people.
The management claims that the accous-
ties of the hall are perfect, and any ordinary
voice can be distinctly heard in any part of
the hail. Two large sounding boards, ore
on each of the ends of the hall, have been
placed in position.
The building is amply lighted by windows
and sky-lights, and gas will be used for the
evening sessions. The May Festival Asso-
citation and the managing committees Of the
two conventions share equally in the cost of
construction, which is $4,000. 1t is
claimed that the hall can be empted in ten
minutes if ordinary care is used by the
public.

General Buffers Tariff Views.

DETROIT, Mich, May 26.-The Evening
Journal, of this city, publishes this after
noon the following letter from General But
lei, giving explicit utterance to his views on
the tariff question:
BOSTON, May 10, i8s4.-To @. " Hubbard,
Managing Editor Of the Detroit Evening Jour
nal: Dear SiT-There is so much evidence of
good faith in your letter to me, that break a
custom in answering your speeitical question
as to my poitica views On specific subjects.
Perhaps upon the subject of tariff can give
them in a word, for l never have con-
eealed them. We can not have free trade
in this country. However desirable, theoret-
ically it would be impossible. Our country is
so large, and our interests so vast, and so
much is to be done by the general Govern
ment, that for some years we must raise hum
dreds of millions of dollars by taxa
ton of some sort. Tho only Consti-
tutional taxation that I know of
number of inhabitants of the States. The
genius OF our people will not permit of that
direct taxation, and therefore indirect taxa
ton must be resorted to. From the Begin
ming of the Government to this time tax
alton by duties on imported articles has
always been II resort of our Government
except at times Of war For limited
period other methods of taxation have been
tried, because the duties upon imports were
insufficient. Therefor ] favor the raising of a
sufficient amount of revenue for an economi-
cal administration of Government and no
more, from duties upon imports and
in laying those duties to tax all articles
of luxury up to the collection point.
To make free all materials not raised or pro-
duced in this country which enter into its
arts, manufactures, and the actual necessa-
ries of life, and as much as possible to cheap
en- them in every way possible, and within
those limits to so iudicious!y place our
duties as to best encourage and aid American
labor and American industry if could. would
also devote the taxes upon whisky and tobac-
co to fund to pay the remaining debts of the
war only, to wit: to pensions and the cares of
soldiers disabled by the war. l do not know
that / need make any further statement upon
this topic. l am, very truly yours,
BENJAMIN +. BUTLEIt.
