that in my experience have never found any
thing to equal new corn for fatteaisg
cattle, and they will eat it in pref
erence to anything else. Il should be
broken or cut into small pieces to enable them
TO chew it easily With the corn increase the
rations gradually, but as rapidly as possible, and
whenever corn can be cribbed after being we'll
sorted, they should be fed of the refuse corn
twice day all they will eat up clean. There is
no danger of laundering steer if his feed has
feeders vigilance is in demand, seeing thatlevery
steer is receiving his share of feed. 1t is good
plan to give a feed of some different kind every
few days which will sharpen their appetites-
If preferred. they may be fed each alternate
feed with chopped feed, but l prefer plenty Of
corn. and if few pigs are turned with them
once day, there will be loss from feeding
whole corn.

Insanity in the United States.

The increase of insanity in the United States during recent years is quite amazing. One is inclined to doubt whether the figures given can possibly be correct; but they are ofici- ally authenticated. Statistics show that in 1865 the number of insane people in the States was 24,042, small percentage. In five years the number reached 37,432, and in 1880 the figures had grown to the surpris- ing total of 91, ,959. In all probability the authorities have had until lately careless system of investigation, and many lunatics have escaped enumera- tion. Even allowing liberal margin for this, however. there seems reason to believe that insanity has claimed and is claiming an increasing number of victims. The race of life is run at a greater pace than it was, and the pressure is greater in consequence. Many organizations give way under the strain. It is said that the increase has been most rapid in the Western States, but no reason is suggested, and it would be deeply interesting to know why, for the causes which are in force there are doubtless in force elsewhere. The increase in insanity during the ten years from 1870 to 1880 was near ly 150 per cent, it is stated.
