Dairy cattle ought TO have access to
salt every day, and salt should be added
to all their stable feed. A series of ex-
periments has convinced me that when
,ows are denied salt for period Of even
one week, they will yield from l4i to
ia per cent. less milk, and that Of an
inferior quality. Such milk will on an
average turn sour in twenty-four hours

Is liable to fewer injuries. The proper
ton OF husk to kernel and the compact
ness Of the grain determine the value OF
the variety.
Oats are a remarkably well balanced
food. Containing, as they do, a large
quantity Of the most valuable constitu-
ents, they approach what may be called
a perfect food, although they contain a
larger proportion Of husk and fiber than
other grains, such as wheat and barley.
A great variety Of soils can be used for
their production and on land of good fer
tility large crops can be made. AS hui

To Penetrate the south.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser has
the following suggestive article for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. 1t has a
volume of prOvocation in it, and the in
timation it gives, ought to attract the
attention of the great corporation, for
which it is intended:
The pcopir vf this section of the
Union have often wondered at the fall
ure of the Baltimore and Ohio manage
ment to extend its lines into the South.
Here will unquestiOnably be the great
field of material development in this
country for the next quarter of a centu-
ny. The leading capitalists of the United
States and OF the great foreign money
markets now fully appreciate this fact.
In five years Alabama will easily rank
next to Pennsylvania in her output of
coal and iron. The most southerly point
now touched by the B. and 0. lines is
1880 600 to build road from that
point through Virginia Tennessee, Ala
hama and Mississippi to the city of New
Orleans. This road would cut one of the
finest mineral, timber and agricultural
regions in the world, and make it in a
great measure tributary to Baltimore
1t may be stated that $15 200, 900 is a great
sum of money to put into one enterprise
Cincinnati spent over $4,000, 900 on her
Southern road, by which she is enabled
to pierce into the very heart of the
South. Kansas City has built from that
place to Birmingham, and is now ex-
tending its line from the latter city to
Savannah. In eighteen months through
cars will be run from Kansas City to Sa-
vannah, and much more than $l5, Zoo, 900
will have been spent in that great road.
Baltimore should shake off her terra
pin movement and build railroad into
the South. 1t will pay, and the people
of this section will be more than delight
ed to send their business to the Monu-
mental City. 1t is by no means too late
to come South

Important Purchase.


The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore SIN, under date of the I4th,
says:
Norfolk and Western has purchased
sthe Scioto Valley Railway, which runs
from Ohio south to Ashland, KY. The
Norfolk and Western has purchased the
Seiotn Valley and: New England Rail-
road. extending from Ironton to Column
bus, Ohio, distance of 1872 miles. Iron
ton is the projected terminus of the Ohio
extension of the Norfolk and Western
system President Kimball says: Work
upon the Ohio extension, including the
bridge over the, Ohio river. is rapidly
progressing it is expected that over fifty
miles of the line will be completed dur
ing the present year, and the remainder
during 1891, whenia junction with the
Scioto Valley Road will be effected. The
directors have for several years appre-
ciated the Importance to the company
OF the acquisition of this property. The
information obtained justifies the opin-
ion that the property, which, when en-
tirely absorbed, will cost the company,
as near as may be, "a, 0Q0, 600 Of preferred
shares, will from the start earn beyond
it's fixed interest charges of $500, 900 per
annum (Which the company will assume)

Faithful Until Death.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, dated
the 10th, tells the following pathetic
story:
When the west bound train on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad rolled into
the depot at Twenty-fourth and Chest
nut streets at half-past 4 O'Clock this
morning from New York. a porter ON one
of the sleepers dashed hurriedly out of
the depot to an adjacent drug store to
have q prescription filled for young
woman whose life was slowly ebbing
away in one of the cars. While the por-
ter was off on his GRAND, DR.. Elliott, of
New York, who had been caring for the
woman all the way from New York, came
out on the platform and pulled nervous
ly at cigar. Speaking of his patient
the Doctor said: II found that young
woman had just had violent hemor-
rhage of the lungs. | applied local
treatment and gave her a quieting pow

told ME that her name was Alice Goodall

Federal Election Bill.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, under date of the
18TH, says:
1.-THE House caucus tomorrow night
will agree on an election bill without
much trouble. The committee has pre-
pared one in accordance with the in
structions of the last caucus. 1t is an
extension of the supervisors law now In
existence, with some alterations. 1t ex-
tends the existing statute in regard to
supervisors in cities to any COMPRESSION
al district in which hundred or more
citizens petition for such action. A new
clause will be inserted in the existing
law SO as to meet cases like those in South
Carolina and other Southern States,
where the names of qualified voters are
arbitrarily stricken from the registration
lists.
''Supervisors are to be appointed by a
United States Circuit Court upon the
nomination of the chief supervisor. the
same as under the existing law. Two are
to be appointed for precinct, one from
each political party. They are to have
power to watch the registration and
counting of the votes, and are to make
returns themselves as a check on false
counting. The bill also provides that
the ballots deposited by mistake in a
wrong DOX, where more bIlflU one DOX IL
used, shall be counted. This will break
up the South Carolina practice of hav-
ing eight different ballot boxes and shift
ing them about. The supervisors are
to open the polls when it is. not. done by
the State officers. and are to provide for
receiving, counting and canvassing bal
lots This will meet the common South
ern practice of not opening the polls in
Republican districts SO as to disfranchise
voters. $50
Another section of the bill provides
for the appointment, by United States
Circuit Court judge, of a canvassing
board which shall make returns of the
votes in each Congressional district for
members of Congress, and the certificate
of this board will be received by the
elerk'of the House of Representatives as
prima facie evidence of the right to a
seat in that body. Clerks or deputy
clerks of courts cannot be chief super
visors. These are to be appointed by
circuit court commissioners Other parts
of the bill provide for making use of ex-
listing State laws.
1.-The Senate Caucus Committee has
practically agreed to a similar measure.
There is no doubt of the House Caucus
taking favorable action tomorrow night,
and the bill will probably be through
the lower body in a few days"
