 THE digestive organs soon get out of or der when grain is fed to the exclusion of grass or bulky food. This is true of all classes of stock and also of poultry It Is better to feed hay alone than to allow a sur felt of grain, especially in summer. A variety of food promotes digestion and pre- vents disease. It Is also more economical to give variety, as less food 4s then TO- quired.
 As A general rule the natural life of animals is about five times as long as the period required to attain maturity. This rule may be modified by artificial condi- tions. Thus certain breeds of cattle, sheep and swine have been brought by careful systems of breeding and feeding to mature at much earlier age than tho original period, without materially shortening the lengtyof life.. But theso exceptions do not Meet the geUjk<l rule.

GALyIN,s MuRDERE1, IN JAIL.

Judge Prentice Denies the Motion of

 Judge Prentice of Hartford has given his decision in the petition of counsel for William J. Souder, charged with the mnr- der of John Calvin of this city, for re- duction of the bond of S25 ,000 At the hearing arguments were made by Lawyers Samuel F. Jones and Charles F. Cole in favor of the reduction, and by State At torney A. +. Eggleston in opposition. Judge Prentice refuses to reduce the bond. Souder will thus be obliged to re- main in jail until the next criminal term of the superior court, which opens on the second Tuesday in September, with Judge Sanford on the bench Had the bond been reduced to $S, 900 or s10,000 it is probable the Ohio relatives of the accused would have raised the money.
