creases the carDonaceous matter. There
is but littleJkigor in corn, but plenty o.
fire and fat, and for butter it Is one OF
the best OF foods. But fifteen pounds Of
straw and ave pounds Of clover hay is :
better ration than eighteen pounds Of
straw and two quarts OF corn-meal. Clover
is rich in albuminoids, and is one Of the
finest foods to balance up the coarse fod
ders like cornstalks, straw or very poor
hay. Knowing the feeding value Of the
different foods there is no difficulty in
using up every thing grown on the farm
to good advantage.
Insolvent diaries are like insolvent
persons-they pay only percentage OF
what is due, and the sooner they are got
rid of the better. No amount Of food
will develop naturally poor mixer
into paying animal for the dairy.
Good cows are born, not made. The
common ration among dairymen is about
all the hay COW will eat, with GER
tain amount Of grain, usually consisting
Of corn, oats and wheat bran. This
ration may contain sufficient amount
of the nutrients necessary for full flow
Of milk, but the great objection to 1t is
that 1t is too expensive and limits the
number Of cows to a given number Of
acres.

rhe wonderful Success ~ Great In
surancs Corporation.
The Phenix Of Brooklyn IL one OF tho
wonders Of fire insurance, and one OF the
famous companies OF tho world. It's rapid
rise Id popular favor IS without parallel
The familiar sign ssThe Phenix Of Brook
Avn Has Agents Everywhere" while APP
parently exaggerative, is almost literally
true so far as the United States is con-
cerned. Should the reader, no matter who
or where, wonder whether the Company =
represented in his place, he has only to make
an inquiry ssdown town" to be convinced.
Its agents are workers. The Phenix moves,
and this in part explains its success. An
other explanation Is that 1T is as prompt
and active in the settlement Of losses as In
the pursuit Of premiums.
The headquarters Of the Company's West
ern and Southern Department are located
In its own building at Chicago. In the
West and South it does a business as large
q, ii not larger than, that OF any other
company. In farm insurance 1t leads.
Last year its premium receipts in this ter
ritory were over 81 100000. "Nothing sue
ceeds like success During 1889 this Com
pany materially strengthened its assets and
net surplus, its funds now aggregating over
four million seven hundred and eighty
thousand dollars. The company was the
shrst to pay loss resulting from the Chi
oago fire. Itpaid s425, 600 to sufferers from
that disaster and $4,000 to Boston the year
following.
Since its organization in 1858 the Phenix
has paid losses representing nearly thirty
eight times its present cash capital, the to-
tai payments being 81, 72o,62L 90. The re-
lief afforded by the redistribution Of this
vast amount among the people cannot be
accurately determined 1t has supplemented
credit, promoted trade and fostered allin-
dustries Great numbers Of commercial
establishments have thus been enabled to
substitute the new for the old, while still
greater number Of private homes have
been restored from their ashes and ruins.

RECKLESS DRIVING.
A Lady and Gentleman Injured by a Col
lision On the Road.

A Lady and Gentleman Injured by a Col
lision On the Road.
About o'clock last evening sensa-
tional runaway occurred on the Riverside
road, between the toll-gate and Sutterville.
A lady and gentleman Whose names could
not be learned) were returning to the city
in buggy from a drive down the road,
when vehicle occupied by couple of L.
street women, who were driving in the
same direction, collided with theirs.
The buggies soon parted company, but
the horse driven py the gentleman started
of on run. The lady was soon thrown
out, or jumped out, and rendered insensi-
BILE. Her companion was seen 10 shortly
afterward make a movement as if 10 leap
from the buggy, and when partly out tried
TO get back, bat fell. He caught by bis
clothing, or limbs, or some part of the
buggy, and was dragged for nearly half a
mile, when the horse was stopped.
There were few other persons in the
vicinity, who went TO the assistance
of the injured couple and took
them TO the city. The RECORD UNIONS in
formant, who witnessed the collision, was
unable to learn the names of the lady and
gentleman, but said they appeared to be
painfully injured.
As the women who caused the accident
were driving in the same direction as the
occupants of the other vehicle, it would
seem as if the collision was the result
of gross careless or something worse.
