Net Ipjarious TO Calves If Fed In Modern
One nf our subscribers writes that his
neighbor has lost three calves from feed
ing cotton seed meal, as he supposes,
and he asks what there is in this feed
that should be so fatal to calves.
We have not recommended the use OF
cotton-seed meal for young calves be-
cause it is not all decorticated, and the
hnsk'of cotton seed is exceedingly tough
and indigestible, entirely unfit for a
young calls stomach. If the cotton
seed was well decorticated we do not
think that, fed in moderation, it would
injure a calf. But it is exceedingly
rich in heterogeneous matter and oil, and
the calls stomach can stand but little
of it. The young calf should not be
given more than p quarter to one-third
of pound per day, and that should be
boiled and fed with wheat middlings.
C0tton-seed meal is not so laxative as
li1seed meal, and not so soothing to the
stomach. The six-months calf can safely
be fed one pound of cotton-seed meal
per day. which in nine months may be
per day. These rich foods should al
ways be given in small quantity to
young animals, and always mixed with
with foods poor in nitrogen. In dairy
districts, where whey is used, which is
so poor in nitrogen and oil, a little oil
meal win make up the deficiency, and
becomes q valuable addition. In COM
bination with corn meal, cotton-seed
meal has a large feeding value for those
Z. year old or over. The deaths of the
calves mentioned may have been caused
by feeding too much and creating inflam-

success, and the management are in
sore distress as to how to raise mon
ey to meet their obligations. The
Director General says: 1.-THE ex-
lenses of the Exposition to Jan. l,
have been $3.50, 900 more than the
management estimated. Instead of
opening with full receipts from ad-
mission on December 1, the exhibits
were delayed and construction re-
tarded and the enormous demand for
space made additional buildings
necessary. We have had thirty five
Ldavs of almost contiauous rain. Dur
ing this time we have moved from
the terminal station over 5000 car
loads of domestic exhibits, discharg-
ed this freight from the cars, i'm
mense qualities of this being heavy
machinery and conveyed it to the
spot alluded to the exhibitors. Two
thousand men we're at work day and
night, in rain and mud, during the
last month, worked over time, and
for extra pay, with every nerve
strained in an effort to surmount OBJ
stacles which at times seemed ap-
palling. Beginning on Jan. l., all
receipts are first applied to the
operating expenses which have been
reduced to low figures. The surplus
is applied to the payment of the back
Indebtedness. The receipts were
ample for the current expenses, even
during the bad weather, and with
fair weather the will be at
times the amount of the expenses.
The Board will apply to our own
people to increase the subscriptions
and pay the amounts due, and the
Exposition will be perfectly able to
carry itself without aid from the
Government.

ISOLATION is stated to be "to difuse
political information, to cultivate

to promote the principles of Republi-

was turned on Hank Morey, and his

Governor Begole, of Michigan, in

there are many young men in the
State Prisons who are sent there by
rings Of Constables, Sheriff. and
Justices in the large towns, for no
other reason than to make fees by
their arrest and conviction. If this
is true, it is the most remarkable
evidence of d~epravity in official cir

think their political influence in the

greater, if as great, as it was before

think few mems claims or qualifca-

ing element of the Republican party
