NEWS BUREAUS.
The Washington Establishments Main"
tained by Various Papers.
[Carp, in Cleve and Leader.J


[Carp, in Cleve and Leader.J
Speaking Of newspapers at Washington,
find that people who come here from the
outside are greatly surprised at the ex-
pense which the bureaus here cost. There
is nothing cheap about a first-class Wash
ington news bureau, and papers which are
quite shabby at their homes keep up better
esta blishments here. There are bureaus
here which have several rooms furnished
like parlors, with their Brussels carpets
and their easy chairs, and the ordinary
Office with its plain carpet, its numerous
newspaper files, its telephone and call
bells, forms quite contrast to the dark,
uncarpeted rooms of the home editorial
rooms. Many of the offices have special
wires connected with the leading papers OF
the country, and their news is sent from
here directly into the news rooms OF It's
home office. Such Offices must have special
telegraph dispatcher in addition to their
news force. In some cases NUMBER
of papers combine together to paw for their
Washington work, in which case the cor
respondent who heads the bureau is paid q
very large salary. Millions of words OF
sion and all the telegraph companies
have large force of operators here. In
the capitol building there are perhaps
dozen places from which kilograms can be
sent to any part of the world, and there
are about as many boys carrying messages
about the corridors as there are pages in
the House. Back Of both the House and
Senate galleries there are large rooms with
tables for writing where the telegraph in
,truments click night and day during
session with the long dispatches sent OUT
by correspondents. The correspondents
10 much Of their writing at these tables,
and there have been cases in
which q newspaper man, who is
also a telegrapher, has sat and
listened to the news of his competitor as 1t
went clicking over the wires. One corre-
spondent of the Post, it is said, had such
IN accurate ear that he depended upon
this mode of stealing his news instead OF
working for it. But the striking similar
ity of his dispatches to those of the other
correspondents became apparent, and In
order to prevent this the offices were re-
moved for time to another part OF the
building. This lazy, but smart corre-
spondent, however, got the news, and his
opponents were at a loss for long time
to find out how he did so. They finally
set watch upon him and found that he
was daily in the habit of going up over the
House, where the telegraph wires ran. He
had a fine sense of touch, and was so good
telegrapher that he could read what was
going over the wires by wetting his fingers
and placing them upon them.

DAIRY RATIONS.
Lessons Taught by the Increased Winter
Butter Production.

Butter Production.
Milk and butter production in winter
has become so thoroughly established
that dairymen are gradually abandon
ing the laying down OF the whole sum-
mer make, and selling it in the late fall
or early winter. They find fresh butter
is SO much preferred that the entire
product of diaries is sold from twenty
to forty per cent. less. This offers no
inducement to accumulate the summers
make, because it is not likely to bring
more than if sold when fresh. This in
creased winter butter production has
led dairymen to study somewhat the
proper food required when only dry
fodder is at hand. They are aware that
milk can not profitably be produced on
hay alone, and they first turn their at
tention to corn-meal. This is certainly
excellent as part of the ration. Good,
sweet corn-mcal is not only healthy and
profitable food for the cow, but assists
in giving d fine flavor to the milk, and
when as cheap as other foods should
always form an essential part of the
ration. But corn-meal is not rich in the
nitrogenous elements required to form
the casein or curd of the milk, and this
composes almost one-third of the solid
contents of milk. If the cows are fed
upon the best clover hay. then corn
meal may make up the balance of the
ration. because clover hay is rich in
heterogeneous or muscle-forming matter.
But dairymen often have to feed a poor
mixed quality of hay, or even straw,
and then other foods having moro
musclc-forming element should make
part of the ration. Besides.
dairymen should remember that they
can hardly err in giving too many kinds
of food in the dairy ration. The greater
the variety, the better the flavor of the
milk. and the better the condition Of the
cows, as well as the larger the quantity
of milk. 1t has become popular among
the best Jersey feeders to give q portion
of pea-meai. This is strongly nitrogen
Gus food, and its office is to keep up the
condition and vigor of the COW, by re-
placing the waste of the muscles, and
the surplus goes to make the same ele-
ments in the milk. But as pea-meal
costs as much or more than new process
fnseed-meal, we think the latter more
valuable in the ration for milk, because
it possesses all the good qualities of
pea-meal. besides being more soothing
to the digestive organs and slightly lax
alive, while pea-meal is the opposite.
Wheat bran is also a goodfood for milk,
and often bears very reasonable price,
generally slightly less than the best hay.
but it has higher feeding value than
any hay. Wheat middlings is also
most excellent food, having more starch
than bran, and more nearly approx
mates to corn-meal in quality. Malt
sprouts are often found at q low price
ten dollars to twelve dollars per ton,
and if of good quality may be used
profitably in the ration, but these re-
quire soaking some twelve hours before
feeding. Whom oats are as cheap. per
weight, as corn, then corn and oats
should be ground together, in equal
weights, and this meal will be found q
profitable food for milk.
Now, let us see how we can combine
these rations:
