Feeding Mich Cows.

Whenever the subject of feeding
mich cows has been discussed at farm
ers' meetings, many of the most intel
ligent speakers have advanced the
opinion that milk cannot he made ut Il
profit when sold at the usual market
price. if the cows are fed on good Eng
lish hay and grain or that it is more
profit To sell the good hay and feed the
COWS on some fodder that is of less
value To sell. The constant and rapid
increase of horses in our state causes
an increased demand for good hay, to
an extent that keeps the price very
much higher than formerly, when com
pared with the price of grain. Twen-
ty-tive OF thirty years ago grain was
worth about twenty-five dollars per
ton, and good English hay from ten to
twelve dollars now grain is worth
about twenty-five dollars ton, and
hay, in many portions of the state,
nearly as much, and commands ready
sale. 1t seems quite evident that while
this state of things exists the COW will
be required to eat something that costs
less than good English hay. Some
farmers have introduced amber cane
as fodder crop, but there appears to
be much doubt if this is as good Us In
dian corn.
Some farmers who have light or
good tillage land SOW small grains,
such as rye, oats and barley for fodder
which if cut green and weIl-cured,
make excellent food for both mich
cows and young stock. Those who
have meadow land that produces a
poor quality of grass, make their cows
eat portion of it, and work it up to
advantage by feeding with it larger
quantity of grain. While the fodder
of the small grains, and the hay of the
meadows are all important aids to IA
farmer in carrying Il herd of cows
through the long winter. there is no
, one, or even two of them, that are
! equal to the fodder of Indian corn.

corn land can readily supply herd OF
cows with all the feed they require.

How Fahrenheit Got His Zero.

Fahrenheit was II mathmetician, and
knew that "a circle was divided into
1869. He found that steam and ice
were the most natural fixed points in
temperature at opposite poles. He
therefore naturally divided the distance
on his glass tube between ice and steam
into the number of degrees in the di-
ameter of Il circle which is $50. lie
wanted an instrument which could be
cheaply made, and which would meas
ure above steam aud below ice, so far
as would be used i'll everyday life. He
found that artificial cold could be pro-
duced which would cause the mercury
to fall just - of the spaces he had
marked off on his glass between ice and
steam he there, sensibiy or not, placed
his zero, or point from which he could
count. Hence ice or freezing is 80
above, and steam or boiling water is
the diameter of Ills circle or 1902 above
aud steam or boiling water is the di-
ameter of his circle, or 1902 above ice,
or 2I2o above zero

Over Fed Horses.

Most farmers feed their horses too
much. rather than too little. Two
pounds per day OF hay and grain fol
each one hundred pounds of live
weight, is usually enough to- keep a
horse in good working condition. A
horse should not bc run as u manure
making machine. 1t i not profitable.
Horses that bolt their grain should he
cured of the habit by keeping several
quarts of stones iu the manager, we'll
mixed up with the grain. Horses that
are being wintercd without much la-
Dor, will not need more than eight to
ten pounds of hay, two quarts of oats
and few apples or roots daily. Dry
food is to be preferred to wet, except
for heavy horses or those that cough.
The horse has the smallest stomach
of any dOmesticated animal, and il we
feed and then Immediately water free

an hour. Some of the whole grain
WAS found washed into the intestines,

A special election is to be held in Rich
land this year, to fill vacancies in the Legis-
lative delegation from that county. The

Register of last Friday indicates the char
acter of questions which Legislative cam
didates throughout the State will be called
upon to answer in the canvass next year:

soon meet to nominate candidates for the
Legislature from this county, it seems to
me good time to ask the opinions of the
candidates on some important questions be-
before the Convention assemblies, so that the
members will know whom to support. AL
low me to ask the the following questions
of the candidates: How do you stand with
regard to the South Carolina College? Are
you in favor of liberal appropriations to
sustain this institution? Do you favor a
continuance of work on the Columbia Ca
nal? Are you in favor of hiring convicts
outside of the walls of the penitentiary ?
Are you in favor of levying additional taxes
for the support of the public schools OF the
State?
AS the Legislature may be called on for
an expression of opinion on National ques-
tions in order to instruct our senators how
to vote, would ask our candidates If they
favor a modification Of the tariff, and If
they favor stopping the coinage of silver
dollars. The answer to these questions will
do much to influence the vote Of

AN INyULNERABLE DARKEY.

The negros tenacity to life is proverblal, ana
in no instance is this characteristic more striking
ly exempltied than when he receives wound
about the head. We occasionally hear OF one
being drowned, or bleeding to death from
wounds inflicted with razor, or being nlangled
to death by Il mule, and now and then we read
of one being choked to death with rope; but
when the injuries are confined to the head, death
rarely ensues Cutfee's caput is as invulnera-
BILE as was Achilles body.
The latest example we have to sustain this
theory comes from Mckenze's mill, i'll the
north eastern part of the county Three weeks
ago a number of darkeys were at the mill, among
them John Price, who lives on Sam j. Clinton's
place. John had with him an old musket heav-
lily charged with powder and squirrel shot. His
reckless disposition was evinced by the fact that
his old tire-ock was loaded, for prudent man
would have been afraid to carry it empty. But
John tlourished his old Queen-Anne musket and
seemed as indifferent to danger as Napoleon at
Austerlitz. While gyrating at one time he as

THE CYCLONE IN CHARLESTON.

On Tuesday of last week a severe storm
ragged along the Atlantic coast, extending
from Jacksonville, Florida, to Wilmington,
n. c., but spending most of its fury at
Charleston, where it assumed the proper
tions of cyclone in the proper sense Of the
term, entirely different from the usual
August storms or equinoctial gales. The
wind was twenty-five miles an hour at 1.3O
in the morning, increasing to forty and fifty
miles, which was reached about s, finally
running up to seventy-fve and eighty miles
an hour. The northern edge of the cyclone
touched Charleston and completed its pas
sage in forty minutes. The streets of
Charleston were not more desolate at the
end of the bombardment during the war
than they were after the ravages of this
storm. The storm commenced properly at
daylight from the southeast with frequent
gusts. AS early as o'clock the roof of st.
Michaels church was stripped. Att A. M.
the apparatus on the roof of the signal office,
flagstaff and weather vane, were demolish-
ed. The last observation before the climax
of destruction recorded the wind 6S miles
an hour. Fire bells were tolled at inter-
walls, indicating the break in all wires.
Water in the river came over the granite
wall at the battery, breaking the fiagstones,
washing away the ratings, and tons of sea
water were hurled in upon the handsome
residences, breaking windows and smashing
DOORS. At eight o'clock the slate roof of
the County Court House peeled off. At $50
the gilt ball and weather vane which, for
a century, had adorned st. Michael's steeple,
a high and historic point, were blown down.
The climax Of the cyclone was about s
o'clock. Everything was in ruins at the
wharves, where but a single shed remained.
At 8 o'clock there was sudden lull, but
soon the gale increased and continued till
one o'clock, when the great storm of 1885
was over.
Within comparatively few minutes the
injury to private residences was very large
in the aggregate, though individual losses
were comparatively small, consisting chief
ly in roofs and fences. Some Of the whole
sale dealers, however, lose heavily by the
damage to stock. The heaviest losses were
along the water front.
On Charleston's favorite promenade, East
Battery, the ground floor of the residences
were from three to six feet under water,
and handsome gardens were covered deep
with sedge. The sea rose so rapidly as to
have the appearance of a tidal wave.
The Ne1Us and Courier estimates the total
losses at not less than 81 100000 to property
in the city an1 shipping in the harbor.
