A ST.. LOUIS clergyman thinks that
the large number of divorces do not
signify a corresponding depravity in
social lie. There is another side to
the matter. So large q number of
women are now making their own liv-
ing, and so many avenues to employ
ment are open to them, that thew
have become more independ ent than
ever before and will no longer submit
to lll-treatment, which was once an.
dured without a murmur. Women
are not now SO dependent on their
husbands, and, feeling their independ-
ence, often rush off to the divorce
courts about matters which, fftv
years ago, would have been lightly re-
garded.

THE DAIRY.
Feeding of Cows and Calves.


Experiments at the Iowa Station
gave the following facts or indica-
tions: Quality of milk so far as
measured by it's percentage of fat was
changed by feed to a much greater
degree than was quantity. Two
thirds of the increase in average gross
yield of butter fat was due to i'm
proved quality of the milk, and only
One-third to increased milk-fOw.
Corn is not perfect milk ration
Substitution of bran and oilmeal re-
suit in increase of quantity and quail
ity of milk. A ration of skim-milk
and ground flaXseed compares favor
ably with new ration for young
calves. The larger gain came from
the whole milk but a part of it was
partly due to the individuality of the
calves and good results and a thrifty
growth were made on Skim-milk and
ground f1axseed. The skim milk calves
were interrupted less in growth by
weaving than the whole milk calves.
A saving in value of butter fat alone
of Sill per month on each calf was
effected by substituting ground flax
seed.
The cost of producing pound Of
gain estimating new milk at S79 cents
per 100 pounds and skim-milll at Is
cents per 100, gain l cent per pound,
hay So per ton, and fiaxseed meal 81
cents per pound, was 10 cents for the
fresh milk ration and cents for the
Skim-milk ration.

The Value of Ensilage.

The Maryland agricultural expert
ment station reports The best method
of preserving forage and the compare
tive value of the same plant, harvest
ed and stored in different ways, form
part of the general problem of forage
and feeding. The system of silos and
ensilage, is no longer an experiment.
Practical farmers and dairymen in all
parts Of the country have demon
strated the direct profit and the Incl
dental advantages of preserving a
portion Of their forage crops in the
form of ensilage, so as to give their
animals, If all kinds. a fair proper
ton of 5ucculent food, throughout
the year. Ensilage is found as profit
able for supplementing pasturage in
times, # drought, as for giving stock
''a green bite" in the winter. Indian
corn is the fayorite crop of ensilage,
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1891-12-02

the most productive, the easiest to
raise, and, all considered. the best.
But clOvers, the cOw-pea and the SOFA
bean, make a more nutritious article
OF ensilage, and may be advantageous
ly mixed with corn, in the sllo. Other
plants and waste products, some I'M
palatable in other forms, make fairly
good ensilage.
Ensilage is no better food for stock
than good roots but in nine case out
OF ten, ensilage can be produced and
handled easier and cheaper than
roots, and is just as good for stock
food. A good many points regarding
silos and ensilage remain unknown or
uncertain. Consequently ensilage of
different plants is yearly made at the
Station, managed in different ways,
fed to different classes of stock, in
various combinations, and the OBJ
servations made are duly recorded.

Horse Breeding.

The special demand for certain
classes of horses is or ought to be we'll
known by everybody, but judging
from the fact that SO many scrubs are
yet bred is evidence enough, says the
Rural and StOckman, that this de-
mand is either not known or not ap-
preciated. There is a demand for
good horses of all breeds. The market
is not OverstOcked in any direction
whatever. The heavy draft horses
are always in demand; the Hamble-
tonian sells readily enough; the
Morgan is always in demand; the
Coacher is not imported or bred
largely enough to satisfy the demand
for that class of horses. What then
shall we breed? From what we have
said the proper answer would seem to
be: ''Breed anything but the scrubs"
There are horses at work in Chicago
that cost only from ten to forty
dollars; and they do the work at
which they are put. Some of them
are not very old horses either. But
they are scrubs to begin with and per-
hapS having been bred from defective
sires or dams have been good for moth
ing from the beginning. They are
not the kind of horses that the public
in general want. Looking over our
weekly horse sales it is not difficult to
see what kind of horses we ought to
breed if we want to make anything
from horse breeding. Horses are like
all other kinds of stock in the matter
of profit, they must be the best to be
profitable.

will be the predominant issue in the
next campaign, and all profess to believe
that it will turn the scale in favor of the
parties they respectively represent.
Messrs. Vest and Mills honestly believe,
no doubt, that the people will sustain
opposition to the protective tariff, sub
stantially on the lines preached by Mr..
Cleveland when President. Messrs.
Sherman and Mckinley believe that
the people will uphold the new protect
i've tariff, and will defeat an attempt
to overthrow it. The latter have on
their side victories in the recent cleo
TONS The former count upon the cleo
tons of last year, and reckon that sue
cess secured in local issues in Massa-
chusetts, New York and Iowa really
means that the people are hostile to
protection.
But these leaders differ about the sill
yer question. Messrs. Sherman and
Mckinley believe that it will not and
cannot be kept out of the presidential
election, and will prove an important
elementin Republican success. Messrs.
Vest and Mills both manifest the utmost
anxiety to have this issue kept out of
the presidential contest, avowedly on
the ground that the Democrats can win
on the tariff alone, and afterward can
10 Wudb bH0y please dUOuG blIV0r.
Their anxiety discloses their belief that
on the silver question alone, or if that
enters as an important element into the
canvass, the Democrats will be defeated.
They hold that Massachusetts and New
York, even with the local issues which
diverted attention, gave Democratic
majorities only because the party there
refused to avow the purposes of the party
at the West and South. 1t is perhaps
all the more evident because they do
not say that they believe the Democrats
will be beaten at the West, the Farmers
Alliance having proved broken reed,
and can only win in Eastern states by
getting rid of the silver issue entirely
But how is it to get rid of that issue
There is no possibility of getting the
question settled and out of the way be-
fore the election comes. The dream of
Messrs Vest and Mills that it can some
how be thrust aside, and the people
persuaded to intrust to the Democratic
party absolute power to settle it, in the
notion that they are really voting on the
tariff question only, is as foolish as any
political calculation can be.

THE POULTRY-YARD.
A Plan for Winter Eggs.

A secret of winter egg production
is warm quarters for the fowls, writes
A. r. Stuyvesant, in Farm and
Home. A friend who always has
quantities of eggs when they bring
80 cents to 40 cents per dozen, has a
novel place for his hens bed room. 1t
is in the side of a haymow, which
keeps the birds warm all winter. To
take advantage of such accommoda-
tions the space must be built in the
side of the hay before the hay is put
in. Built the size of a cord of wood,
AKA and feet long, it will nicely
quarter twenty to twenty-five hens.
The room for fowls should join the
NOV on the south or west, and the
sleeping compartments open from it
under the hay as shown. This will
keep off all severe winds and dan

The Presidential OutIook.

Four men of prominence in the op-
posing parties have been interviewed
since the recent elections and have ex-
pressed their opinions about the future.
Senator Vest and Representative Mills
represent the Democratic party, and all
the better because neither Of them
comes from the East, where that party
does not dare to avow what are known
to be its real convictions and purposes.
Senator Sherman and Governor-elect
Mckinley represent that Republican
conviction which was controlling in the
last Congress, which has triumphed in
Ohio and other Western states. ard in
Pennsylvania, and they are men Of
great personal influence in Republican
counsels. All have talked freely of the
future of parties, and it is exceedingly
instructive to notice the points in which
all agree, and not less instructive to
notice the points wherein they differ.
All these leaders agree that the late
elections have made the presidential
contest doubtful. Messrs. Sherman and
Mckinley point out the lines on which
they think the Republicans cannot be
beaten, and take it Tor granted that Mr.
Cleveland will be the Dem ocratic candi-
date. Messrs. Vest and Mills point out
the course the Democratic party must
pursue, In their judgment, In order to
secure success, and both declare that
Mr. Cleveland will be the Democratic
candidate. But the conviction Of Re-
publican leaders that some things are
necessary to insure Republican victory,
and the conviction of Democratic lead
ers that some things are necessary to in
sure Democratic victory, amount to a
unanimous opinion that the, result Of
next years contest is by no means GER
tain.
These leaders all agree that the tariff
