A POINTER as to how severe cold
weather interferes with fattening
animals, was afforded in the ten ex-
perimentaI steers being fed at the
Kansas Agricultural College. They
made an average gain for the period
of ten days ending December 20 of
81 lilo pounds per head. This per-
iod, it will be remembered, was one
of prevailing warm, sunny weather.
During the following ten days. a
period of Hnremitting cold, in which
lower temperatures were registered
there than were ever before known
since the settlement of the country,
these same ten steers gained only
6 3-5 pounds per head, although they
ate food almost identical in amount
with that consumed during the pre-
ceding warm weather. These steers,
it should be said, were fed during
the time in an unbattsned board shed
which did little more than protect
them from the violence of the wind.
s.You can't burn feed as fuel for. the
body of the animal. and at the same
time have it slowed away in the form
of muscle and fat. Live Stock In

ACKNOWLEDGING THE CORN.

How much the fair bur potent sex
is like a crop Of corn,
For in whatever place they're seen.
That place they do adorn.
The corn is green when yourg, rs is
rhe offspring of mans rib;
It's then they're taken BY the ear
And placed within crib.
You find on them the finest silk,
Becoming, too. no doubt;
And when the season comes around
In tassels they come ont.
In reaping time some fellow comes,
And in his arms they're locked.
Surprised? Well, YES: but then they like
This way of being shocked.
But when the days have come and gone,
And filled life's golden page,
4 difference you will find, my friends
The corn will tell its age.

"FAITH in God is what Is needful
to be a Christian" said the Rev.
John +. Naugle at revival meeting
in Troy the other Sunday afternoon !;
and taking a silver quarter in his
hand, he continued; "Now, II L
should call ono of these little boys
up here and place this quarter in his
hand nothing on earth could con-
vince him that he did not have il"
The words were scarcely out of his
mouth when six year old stepped
out of pew, marched up to the
altar, and held up his hand for the
money. The clergyman had not in
tended to apply his illustration in
precisely that manner, but he per-
ceived that there was only one thing
to do. "Good bless you, my boy"
sald he, and handed him the coin.

Some Local History.

&c dio SIdfCIJ dSSuLcu ny TIC
Glohe-Democrat that the failure of
the prosecution in the Frank James
cases is the result of party pres
sure which has forced Governor Crit
tenden to take, for partisan reasons,
stand that neither his judgment
nor his conscience approved. Our
esteemed cotelnporary holds Demo-
cratic ascendency alone responsible
for Franks escape. 1t treats the
matter as a convenient text for a
partisan TRADE, and tells us that
there will be no regard for justice,
honor and decency until Republicans
get hold of the State and institute a
better order of things.
The Kansas City Journal also ac-
counts for the failure by saying that
men are mad who suppose that
rebel could be punished for crime in
the State of Missouri under a Demo-
cratic administration. 1t insists that
if Frank James had not been a rebel,
or if his rebel friends had not been
in control of Missouri affairs, he
would long since have paid the pen
atty of his crimes.
When the two leading organs of
the Republican party in this State
are reduced to the necessity of COW
ering its nakedness with the ''looped
Widowed raggedness" of such worn
out clap-trap as this, they obviously
mean ''poor old party every time
they whine out poor old Missouri.
Were not Governor Crittenden and
Judge Phillips of the Supreme court,
both Colonels in the Union army,
fighting the rebels throughout the
war? Are they not mainly RESPONSE
BILE for the failure of this. prosecu-
tion? Were not all the lawyers who
volunteered to defend Frank James
Union soldiers?
The assertion that Republican as
tendency would have produced a
better result is contradicted by his
tory, recent and familiar to the whole
people. While Republicans ruled
Missouri and maintained their rule
over disfranchIsed Democrats with
standing army of armed militia, not
even permitting the Democrats to
elect county officer during the first
five years after the war, the James
Boy bandits committed most of their
crimes, and committed them with
impunity. 1t was under Democra-
tic administration that the first seri-
Gus or successful attempt was made
to suppress them. The whole war
against them was made by Democra-
tic officers and old rebel soldiers, like
Langhorne, Timberlake and Craig,
were the men who hunted them until
the last of the gang was in his grave
or in the hands of the law.
The simple truth is that the period
of Republican ascendency in Mis-
souri, was the heyday of the clans
career. 1t made them the terror and
curse they were to the State. Demo-
cratic ascendancy has obliterated the
band. Before the failure to convict
Frank James is laid at the door Of
the Democratic party, let us wait and
see how he will come off in the Re-
publican state of Minnesota, where a
town was raided by his set and sew
eral citizens shot down in the streets
in broad daylight. He is now in the
hands of Republican officials, and if
he is not tried and convicted in Min
nesota he will owe his escape to their
default or their favor or affection,
according to the logic of the Repub-
lican organs.-Post-Dispatch.
