Another Letter from Brutus.
COLUMBUS, February 20

SOLUMbUbS TcUIudIy SOVAs
The past week has been lively one
in the House, every one has some favor
ite measure he wants to see passed, or
in a negative sense he wants to see de.
feated. One of the former was passed
by the House this week, entitled the
School Book Bill, the object of which
was to break up monopoly in our
school books which has been building
up for thirty years, and is as unrelenting
as the Standard Oil Company. No
measure of general nature has gone
through the House with more unanimity
this session than this one. What the
Senate may do remains to be done. The
bill provides for commission appointed
by the Governor to be non-partisan in
its character; to revise and arrange
series of text books for the use of the
common schools of the State, the same
to be published by the lowest bidder
and furnished at not to exceed ten per
cent. above first cost. The Albaugh bill
come up for consideration. After q
struggle it was passed by the House,
fifty-nine members voting for the bill.
If the bill is not killed in the Senate our
common schools of Ohio will be thrown
back ten to twenty years. The princi-
pie underlying the bill 50 obnoxious to
every independent American citizen is,
that it strikes down the right of men to
act for themselves in the dearest re-
lations of life, that of the control of the
education of their own children. Cen
tlemen claim they have the right still,
by delegation, and that our schools can
be improved by turning out more than
twenty-five thousand sworn officers of
the State who labor without any pay
except the consciousness of doing good
in the promotion of the intellectual and
moral development of the riping genera
tion, the very men who, without MUIR
muir help to pay the millions to support
our common schools. How far legisla-
tors can go in depriving citizens the
right of self control in the management
of their own domestic and municipal
affairs is an untried question, and one
which it mightbe well not to push too
far. Another one involving the same
principle will probably come up for
solution soon. A bill has also passed
the Senate fixing the terms of township
trustees for three years, and that of Clerk
and Treasurer at two years. The social
event of the week was the marriage of
the Hon. Mr.. Hudson, Representative
from Clinton, to Miss Shannon, of High
land county. on Thursday ,February:l6th.
A delegation of the members of the
House with their wives met the newly
married couple at Blanchester, where q
sumptuous repast was spread for the
company; after enjoying which, they
returned to Columbus, reaching the city
half-past eleven p. m. The happy couple
repaired to the Waverly House, and are
now enjoying the congratulations of
their many friends. If good wishes will
smooth their matrimonial road they will
tread downy path. BRUTUs.

Mancbwn Frederick County, Maryland Thursday September TO- 1885,

earthquakes were handy enough on
the Pacific coast-they did not wish to
own one. AS a last resort, | offered
him to the Governor for the use Of the
"Brigade." His face lit up eagerly at
first, but toned down again, and he said
the thing would be too pa1pable.
"Just then the livery stableman bro't
in his bill for six weeks keeping-stall-
room for the horse, fifteen dollars !;
hay for the horse, two hundred and tif
ty! The Genuine Mexican Plug had
eaten ton of the article, and the man
said he would have eaten Il hundred if
had let him.
81 will remark here, in all serious
ness, that the regular price of hay dur
ing that year and part of the next
was really two hundred and fifty dol
lars a ton. During part Of the pre-.
vious year it had sold at five hundred
Il ton, in gold, and during the win ter
before that there was such scarcity Of
the article that in several instances
small quantities had brought eight hum
dred dollars ton in coin ! The con-
sequence might be guessed without my
telling it people turned stock loose to
starve, and before the spring arrived
Carson and Eagle valleys were almost
literally carpeted with their carcasos
Any old settler there will verify these
statements.
II managed to pay the livery bill
and that same day | gave the Genuine
Mexican Plug tc o passing Arkansas
emigrant whom fortune delivered into
my hand. If this ever meets his eye,
he will doubtless remember the dona-
ton.
"Now whoever has had the luck to
ride q real Mexican plug will recognize
the animal depicted in this chapter,
and hardly consider him exaggerated
but the uninitiated Will feel justitie,! in
regarding his portrait as fancy sketch,
nerhapg."

No. Z l..

was done on my farm last fall by using
mud sled, drawing two or three cocks
at time, two men placing large, solid
forkfuls on the sled and then on the
stack, thus loosening the fodder but
little. The stacks were made on the
field where the corn grew, driving first
on one side and then on the other.
They were made eight feet wide, 25
Or 80 feet long and as high Us the men
could reach with their forks. The corn
had to be drawn only short distance
to form such stack and the work was
done rapidly. AS in the cock so in the
stack, there is no trouble with rain pen
etratlng corn fodder if it is left i'll fair
shape on top. The stack can be read
lily cut down with hay knife and
section sufficient for load can be re-
moved to the barn and fed from the
wagon or sleigh without extra labor.
and the part of the stack remaining is
not exposed untopped to the weather.
After the middle Of wiRter, as por-
tions of the barn are emptieu Of hay, a
quantity can be drawn and stored at
one time; but this involves more labor
in handling than when fed from the
sleigh, if the barn and stable are adapt
ed to feeding IN this way. Fodder
treated in this manner is never dry like
tnat cured by exposure to sun and air,
and is of excellent quality, and there
is no waste. After months Of feeding
OF such uncut fodder this winter in the
stable, 6 visitor would be unable to
find waste enough to indicate that any
corn had been fed, as the COWS ate it
needily and perfectly clean.
We have made winter for years, and
| ind that COWS fed once day on this
| fodder, and once on clover hay and a
tar feed OF meal from peas and oats and
shorts mixed, will yield a profitable re.
turn ia milk and butter.
The above method has been we'll
tested, and dairymen will do we'll to
try It if their lend is adapted to clover
and corn. 1t is alike practicable with
one-f fourth OF IN acre, or with any num-
Der OF acres. suppose the fodder to
be of as much value as average silage,
and it can bo had without the expense
Of silo or machinery, or extra labor
ers at the time Of cutting. l shall con-
tinue to raise five to ten acres year,
as we have done for years past, but
have no intention Of building u silo, as
the present method is perfectly satls-
factory.

KEEPING CGRN-EODDER,

c. S. R1cc, IN Huu1 Ncw IorkeT
By the method Of preserving corn
fodder that has been in use on my farm
for several years the feeding value Of
the crop as it is when cut in Scptem-
Der is retained ior teyeral months, and
az the process is not expensive and docs
not require extra labor, it should come
INTO general use by those who do not
avail themselves Of the silo. Ny eXpe-
rience With 1orn fodder extends over a
rorod of forty years, and 1arious rath-
ods of cultivation and preservation Of
the crop haze ben tried. lhe one
now in use Is by fas the cheapest of al ,
and has been pronounced better than a
silo by some who have had experience
with that method.
This cheap and practicable method
is as follows: The seed is drilled in
rows thirty-two inches apart with
eight kcruels to the foot in the row.
The growing crop is cultivated between
the rows several times to keep the land
free from Grass and weeds. The yarl-
ETY. known locally as ''soT fodder corn
is grown and on land of medium tertll-
ith it attains height Of from seven to
ten feet. Corn Of this height grown in
rows is not liable to be blown down !;
can be cut with - strong roaper and can
be handled with a fork. 1t is cut when
the tasscls are perfectly developed as
the fodder has then its greatest value.
In cutting, t,Yo men 40 with rcarers
and the rakes are allowed to run, but
rot to throw OF tie corn. When the
table is we'll loaded the team is stop.
ped and the men pull the corn Of to one
side 50 that it will be out Of the next
round and SO they proceed around the
piece,
On the next round the punches arc
left opposite the first ones, but little
further back so that they will not be-
come entangled, thus forming rows two
or three rods apart with the spaces be-
tween the rows left perfectly clean.--
Directly after cutting, the corn is cock.

cooked up the growth OF from four to
to six acres a year for several years and
have never suffered dollars loss by
sourness, mold or rot. The corn may
be fed from these cocks without fnrth =

or November, and will continue as good
as when cut, except that 1T Is u lltt'e

The state Division Meeting.

There was Just enough friction at the
State division meeting last night to make
the proceedings spicy and interesting
There was, OF course, a diversity of
views upon the best manner Of getting
practically at the subject, Some thought
that the Legislative Act of 1859,
authorizing division, was still in
legal force and effect, and that
all we had to do was to proceed
under that act, hold convention, formu-
late Constitution and apply to Congress
for admission as sovereign State. Others
thought that it was best to begin de nouo
and take steps to materialize public SEN
timent in Southern California on the
subject. Still others thought that the
best way was to agitate with a
view to taking definite action
to carry the question through the
Legislature after the next decennial
census had given us such increased re-
presentation as would enable us to carry
a consenting measure through that body.
This last seemed to be the dominant sem
timent fthe meeting, although nearly all
admitted that it was best to have an eve
to the availability of the act of 1859, if
it were necessary to take action under it.
Mr.. NJ. L. Wicks made very nervous,
able and eloquent speech against division,
and he was the only man on the floor
who spoke on that side. Notwithstand.
ing the grace and earnestness of bis
effort provoked applause, yet he had but
a handful of followers when it came tc
vote on the resolutions. Indeed, we
were astonished at the unanimity OF
expression in favor of the new
State of South California which the
debate brought out. We had some
doubts about the public feeling here or
the subject until last night. We had
feared that the new comers would prove
an element of opposition to admission
but we found that they were as pro
nouncedly in favor OF new State as the
most ardent OF the old settlers. If there
had been any very general feeling
against division the able speech of Mr.
Wicks would have bought it out. Thi
is the very beet evidence we coull hav,
of the strong public sentiment here il
favor OF separation, for the meeting las
night was composed of a very miscel
laneous aggregation of representativ,
men. The nucleus OF an effective organ
ization was created last night that will b,
able te place this subject in practica
shape before the people OF Southern Cal

A PITCHED BATTLE.
naval Cadets ana College Eoys
Fight Over Football.

ANNAPOLIS, December 8.-The football
game at the Naval Academy between
the Naval cadets and st. Johns College
team resulted in victory for the latter.
About thirty college boys, ranging in age
from IL to 20, grouped together and
showed their delight at the cadets Sec
ond defeat this season. The cadets.
maddened by the college cries and the
taunts of their opponents, formed
Ia solid phalanx and marched
down on the st. Johns hackers.
The college boys were rushed about
twenty yards when they made a stand
and regular set-to began, in which eyes
were blackened, heads broken and teeth
knocked down throats, and little boys
were picked up and thrown pell-mell
into the struggling mass of their COM
rades. Superintendent Sampson, Com
mandant Harrington and watchman
Oleone interfered and stopped the melee.
The better class of cadets condemn the
conduct of their schoolmates, and it is
presumed formal apology will be ten
deyed to the st. Johns students. An
investigation Of the affair will be made
by the naval academy authorities.

Mr.. J. M. SHAwHAN issued the first
number of the Critic in this city yester-
day. 1t is very fne-looking hebdom-
adal, made up in pages the size of the
Argonaut, we'll printed, and on good,
heavy paper. Mr.. Shawhan aims to make
the Critic an acceptable publication to
those who desire to read carefully pre-
pared and well digested articles on So
eial, dramatic, political and literary sub
jects. The first number is credtable
one. 1t is not easy to say from first
number what a venture of this character
will be, but it gives one favorable i'm
preston at the start. Yet Mr.. Shawhan
has undertaken very formidable task
in trying to make literary weekly OF
high character and able conduct sue
cess in this city. Certainly the best
wishes of the HERALD 60 with him in his
difficult undertaking.
