In order to ascertain the comparative
values of Bermuda and timothy hays
for feeding to work animals, the six
mules belonging to the Mississippi
station were divided into two lots, one
mule from each double team being
placed in each lot. Both lots received
the same amount of corn tally, and
were given all the hay they would
eat, the feeding being continued two
months. The results showed that there
was practically no difference between
the two rations, the food for the lot

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

DRAIN the barn yards. When barn
is lake of water, it is no place for
cows or man.
CHEAP cows are the highest priced
cows that are ever sold. People are
not giving away good cows.
SELL the butter just as soon as it is
made. This the general rule. Butter
does not improve by keeping, and much
of it is badly injured by keeping.
GENTLENEss with the COWS, cleanli-
ness in the dairy operations and a
thorough familiarity with the modern
processes of dairying lead to success.
SOME will enter upon winter dairy.
ing for the first time this winter. Sue
cess will require generous feeding and
warm quarters. Take good care ofthe
calves too.
BRAN is an excellent element in the
cows ration. If we have the con-
veniences for keeping bran in good
condition, the mills have plenty of it to
sell just at this time.
A MAN cannot do everything equally
well. Some men will learn to milk a
COW well, and if you have such a man
better let him sit on the fence while
you do the milking yourself
IT is not too early to endeavor to i'm
press upon the mind that if the COWS
are turned into the stalk fields this
fall, without the utmost care, the us
ual number of dead cows will be the
result.
If we have not conveniences for wa
tering the cows in winter, would it
not be good plan to furnish them
now? Remember that it is Il settled
fact that warming water for cows in
winter is good thing. - Western

Colonel John p. Irish, representing the
State Board of Trade, will this evening
address the citizens of Sacramento at Y.
NJ. l. Hall. This eloquent and thought
ful speaker comes as the accredited
special agent Of the State Board of Trade,
to ascertain, for the board, what peculiar
wants of Sacramento County can receive
the attention of that important body,
with view of aiding us to accomplish
ment of our desires-as, for instance,
what are our manufacturing needs?
and what offers can we make to capital to
come in and invest with US? So, too,
upon subjects related to agricultural pro-
duction, that it may put forth its best en-
deavors to direct this way population and
manufacturing enterprise, and to aid us
in enlarging our trade area, and to
avail fully of natural advantages.
Colonel Irish goes for the State Board
into every county affiliated with that
body, and also to impart information
concerning State development, and he
ought to be received therefore with
cordiality. He will not only seek
information, as stated, but he will
tell US of the work of the board and
what is being done and is proposed, to
draw to California desirable population
nd FOL to h,;, l, ,ie,S Sfot to int -
the best and closest relations with the
great markets of the world.
1t must be understood that his is no
begging expedition. He comes, on the
contrary, to consult with us concerning
| local needs that the State body may be
| able to aid us in satisfying. 1t is, there
fore, to be hoped that the hall will be
crowded to hear the speaker, and that the
assemblage will be representative of the
best elements of our population. Busi-
ness should be largely represented, for
| its interests are vitality related 20 the sub
| ject of State development; industrial in
| terests should be fully represented, be-
cause they are inextricably interviewer
with the prosperity of the community;
labor should have its representation, be-
cause all that conserves State and county
advancement is of high importance to it;
horticulture, agriculture, and viticulture,
hop interests, and all others related to soil
growth should be largely represented,
because land values, producing capacity,
markets, ability to place colonies and in
dividual immigration, etc., will be among
the topics discussed.
In short, there is no legitimate interest
of the city or county but should be fully
represented at to-nights meeting. Let
the hall be crowded, for such an effort as
the State Board of Trade is now making
demands and deserves our hearty cooper
alton and earnest and unstinted aid and
encouragement.

fused by the Balmacedan party, then the
belligerency of the insurgents should be
recognized. As the RECoRD-UNIoN has
before said, Mr.. Patrick Egan, our Min

cloud of suspicion of being preiudiced in

the honor of this nation it is to be hoped
/ that these suspicious are without sufi-

precisely the situation and condition of
! the contending forces. He knows
| whether or not the insurgents have
| maintained themselves for six months in
actual war; that they are in possession of
more than half of the State; and that they
! have conducted the war according to
| honorable methods. Why then is Mr..
Egan dilatory in notifying the United
States Government of the true situation,
and in advising it to mitigate the horrors
of domestic war by recognizing the
| belligerency of the Congressionalists?
