.= Evcry farmer should arst look we'll to

sufficient feed TO carry bis stock profit
ably, says tho New England Farmer.
II not, he should buy feed or dispose Of
. portion Of his stock Oftentimes cat
tie are fed through the winter and are
not Of any more value in the spring than
they were the tall before. The feed
and trouble was entirely lost except =
little manure and that Of rather poor
quality. ..- '1>>.~ 4 '.g @,.-. /.
1t is not enough to feed sufficient
quantity, but it should be such as is
best for accomplishing the particular
aim. The animal must consume Ger.
tain amount OF food merely to keep up
its stationary condition, which must
first be provided for. =
In order to make feeding profitable
barns should be warm, dry and we'll
ventilated; and tho stock should be
kept clean and dry. Mr.. Childers states
that lightly Leicester sheep in the open
field consumed fifty baskets of cut
turnips per day beside oil cake. On
putting them in shed they consumed
only thirty baskets, and soon after but
twenty-five, and yet they fattened as
rapidly as when eating tho largest
quantity.
The very young animals require food
for the formation of bone which is
furnished by milk in larger proportions
than from any other food. The growing
animal wants bone muscle and certain
amount of fat, and this is procured from
grasses, roots and grain.
Animals that are preparing for the
shambles require vegetables, oils or
starch; and sugar. The first is con-
tanned in great abundance in fax and
cotton seed. Corn is the most fattening
grain. The potato contains the great
est proportion Of starch, and the sugar
beet has the largest quantity of sugar
and both consequently are good for stall
feeding
Another thing to be considered in
feeding for profit is to get the stock in
good condition early in the fall while
the weather is pleasant. 1t will take
less feed thvn to wait until winter sets
| in.
Another vary important factor in feed
ing profit is the manure. 1t should be
carefully saved and we'll cared for.

Production and Consumption of Corn.

S~As0esAsEss~As ~
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates domestic consumption Of corn at
% bushels per capita-which accords
with computations made by the writer,
showing that we consume 20 bushels
per capita, of which, however, bushel
goes abroad in the form of animals and
animal product, etc.-making our ex-
ports, in the form Of grain and second
ary prod ucts, about 2 bushels per cap
ita, leaving Of the 80 bushels produced
yearly some - bushels for purely do
mestic use. The average yield per
acre having been during the past 10
years 24.1 bushels, it follows that each
unit of population requires 1.16 acres of
corn for home needs and 0.4 of an acre
to provide the animal products we ex-
port, or total of 1.20 acres per capita.
However, as the last 20 crops show a
higher average than the last 10-say
25.2 bushels-perhaps it is best to base
our estimates upon the assumption that
the crop of the future will show Weld
as great as that of the longer term, in
which case domestic consumption, in
cluding proportionate expectation of
animal food, will require LIS acres of
corn per capita, and with a population
of 64,ooo,ooo we require 7s, 600, 900 acres,
and in the corn-fields of 1890. COVERING e
78,800, 900, we have-or should have,
were the crop an average one-5, 200, 600
acres more than needed, and which is
worse than useless, as the surplus but
serves to depress the price of tho whole,
and this surplus corn acreage can we'll
be turned into wheat fields (until such
time as we require more corn) as there
is q prospect for fair prices, the world
heing short of wheat, and such mon as

THE READY REVOLVER.

| Ex-COngressman Taulbee Assaulted in the
| Capitol at Washington and Receives a
| Bullet in the Head From the Pistol of an
Irate Newspaper Correspondents.
! WASHINGTON, March 1.-Ex-Congress-
man Taulbee was shot in the head by
Charles Kincaid, correspondent of the
| Louisville Times, at las o'clock yester-
! day afternoon in the very Capitol itself.
| Whether the wound will be fatal can
not now be told.
Both men are Kentuckians and the
trouble was caused by the ex-Congress-
man pulling the correspondents nose
for publishing certain statements in re-
| gard to him.
A call of the House had been ordered
| shortly after noon when the two men
met as they had done many times be-
| fore since the trouble between them
! originated, about year and half ago,
in the publication by the correspondent
of notorious scandal affecting the moral
character of the then Congressman.
Taulbee, who had business engage
ment with Congressman McCreary, of
Kentucky, and several others, came out
of the House while Kincaid was stand
ing in the outer doorway. and walking
up to him said few words in an under
tone, indistinguishable to the doorkeep-
er only two or three feet away. 1t is
said that the lie was passed. After a
few hot words the two parted.
This quarrel was not generally known
even to the intimate friends of the two
men, when, at about 1:3O o'clock, MEM
bers and friends dining in the restaurant
were startled by the sharp report of a
pistol fired very near the personal room
attached to the restaurant. They rushed
out breathlessly while other persons
ran down the stairway and soon there
was an excited crowd surrounding a
man holding his head, from which blood
was gushing in steady stream, while
another man was exclaiming that he
had done the shooting. The bullet was
fired at range not the length of
mans arm.
Kincaid said that Taulbee had been
bounding him for more than year past
and several times insulted him. He cir
culated stories that he was a coward and
afraid to meet him (Taulbee). These
reports, in his nervous state, so over
wrought him that he hardly knew what
he was doing. He also understood that
Taulbee had threatened him with viO-
lence. Yesterday he assaulted him and
pulled his nose and ear and this was
more than he could endure.
