be able to draw the plow and to haul
heavy loads, and draw omnibuses
and express wagons, but it is certain
if he does this kind OF work he will
soon be spoiled for trotting. A trott-
ing horse may be a fine roadster, but
some of the very points which give him
excellence in this direction manlfestly
unfit him for use on a farm, orfor any
other heavy and long-continued work.
We believe that, within certain limits.
there is such a thing as a general
purpose" horse, but we do not be-
lieve that the lines can be spread far
enough to include an animal that will
also be adapted to perform general
farm work or draw heavy loads over
the city pavements.
Feeding Cows.
A Mississippi farmer informs the
editor of one OF the newspapers in
that State that he is selling twenty
five pounds of butter per week which
he obtains from four Jersey cows,
with but little feed" He seems to
be well satisfied. Probably he obtains
a good return for all his expenditures.
But it is strange that in these days of
high feeding, with its we'll known re-
suits, this man, or any other, should
be willing to keep Jersey COWS on
short rations. If anything in the line
OF dairying has been fully demonstra-
ted it is the fact that the rate of pro-
duction OF a good dairy COW is very
closely regulated by the quantity and
quality OF the food which she con
sumes. 1t is just as profitable to at
tempt q great amount of heat from
q stove with q very small quantity of
fuel as 1T is to attempt to get large re-
turns from a COW while giving her but
little to eat. No matter how good the
stove is it a not give out heat with
out fuel. This is self. evident. 1t is
equally true that no matter how
good the COW may beshe can not, for
any length of time, give large quanti-
ties OF rich milk without a liberal sup
ply OF nutritious food.

Feeding Pumpkins to Hogs.

feeOln8 Pumpkins TO logs.
The National Stockmansays: "The
farmer who is so fortunate as to have
q good supply of pumpkins has a
valuable food in them as part ra-
ton for his ~fattening hogs. 1t is
claimed by some that hogs will tatten
on them as their only food. We
would not care to risk the statement
80 far as to undertake to fit q lot OF
hogs for market with them. We
would feed as many each day a the
hogs would eat up clean and then give
them all the corr they could consume
besides. Young hogs with a ration OF
pumpkins each day will stand a much
longer feeding of corn than they would
if fed corn alone. 1t is wasteful way
of feeding, to throw out enough corn
or pumpkins, or both at one time, to
last the hogs two orthreedays Their
food should be given to them sweet
and clean at least twice a day."
Another plan Of feeding pumpkins
to hogs that has been found to pro.
duce excellent results, is to begin
early in the fall, when the fattenine
hogs are in the pasture lot; give them
all they a eat as long as the supply
lasts, then begin with the corn.
Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs
quite rapidly, but the pork from such
feeding is soft and undesirable, and
needs a finishing with corn to make ii
first-class.
Pumpkins are cheaper than corn
besides being a specially health-givinf
food. hence the fat and flesh added il
the beginning is more economically
produced and the profits proportion
ately increased.

STANFORD FOR PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON CIrY, May 1l.-(Special. i
The Critic this evening, discussing the

majority of the electoral votes, says:

THE FAT rRlEsTEss.

SEATTLE, May II, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: win you allow me to enter q
protest against the article which appeared in
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of May 10 concerning
Nine. Blsvatsky and students of theosophy7 In
the first place, il is stated that Nine Blayatsky
has "gone to join Buddha." Now just where
one would have to go to Join Buddha know
not, but in theosophical literature Buddha
means the sixth principle of man, which, trans
lated, means the Christ principle. Now, unless
Mme BInvatsky had made the at-one-ment with
this principle while in the physical body, she
could not after death, but would have to await
another incarnation in the physical body II
the at one ment had been alreadymade abe wouId
simply be conscious OF the Father in secret. of
which Christ spoke. Therefore one need not
go to any particular place or locality TO make
the at-one-ment, a. 1t 10 made in mans own
heart.
What the consciousness Of the late Nm.
Blavatsky now IL depends entirely on whether
she had or had not made the as-one-ment, ana
whether she had fulfilled the duties committed
TO her to be performed in the body.
In the second place. the statement that
thousands of thoughtful people have been her
dupes" Is also o very questionable statement

CHICAGO, May 11.-[Special.l-D C. K.
Cole, . leading citizen of Montana .and

letter from Washington City at the Audi

the Office Of commissioner of public lands

municipal election was held here today,
resulting in the election of s. J. Chadwick

nominee of the peoples progressive party,
and ]. w. Higgins of the Second National,
who failed of nomination at the
first convention, running in opposition to

more than his opponent, and in the other
the result was reversed. 1t is probable
that another election will be required. al

HE NEVER REruRNED.
A Rsd-Hsaded Young Man Borrows =
14OO Ring.

George J. Renpicks, the young blood
who, on May 8, was placed in irons on
board the Haytian Republic for using in
decent language in the presence of ladies',
and who now has suit for
$4,000 damages against Captain Brown
of that vessel and against the ship itself
for false imprisonment, is now in Seattle
and is having very lively time of it. At
present he is looking for q ring with a
diamond setting as big IS street lamp
that he claims is lost, strayed or stolen.
The story Of how he lost the diamond is q
strange one, and is told by the fast young
mans friend. II. III. Odell, who claims to
be the son of the owner of the Granite
block at Spokane, and who, if his own
story is to be believed, is too big chump
to ever handle his fathers wealth.
Odell says that on Sunday night he saw
Rennicks in Beede's cafe in company with
notorious woman named Belle Simpson.
10th Rennicks and the woman were
drunk and disorderly and the police
ordered them out. Odell then in.
terfered in their behalf and of
fered to take his friend home. Instead
OF doing so, however, he accompanied the
drunken pair to Belle Simpsons house.
AhSiS cctaA2iC very SICK ana n2Q
TO be carried to bed. Odell before leaving
his friend took the precaution of taking
his gold watch, a diamond pin and
the diamond ring. Odell left the
house with his friends jewelry. Here his
story became very vague, but he tells of a
red headed man who followed him from
the house and said he was q shorthand re-
porter and had taken notes of all that h d
occurred. Odell was ayerse 10
the publication of his doings.
His new found friend fnall<y
asked the privilege of wearing the ring I'M
til morning, 'just to make a flash. -
0dell, to square himself with what he sun
posed to be newspaper reporter, loaned
him the ring. The red-headed stranger
then departed, promising to call at Odell,s
room in the Seattle block in the morning
with the ring.
Odell waited yesterday morning for the
return of his red-headed friend, and he il
still waiting. Rennick is sober now and
says he wants his ring. He does not think
Odell stole it, but he does know that odell
played sucker to very weak confidence
game.
The big sparkler was Of q canary color.
Rennicks yesterday morning, when he
first discovered his loss, said it was worth
800. Later in the dav he dropped Ia
$500. 1t probably cost $500. The matter
was reported to the police in such a way
that they laughed at the whole story.

BUFFALO, May 1.-THE German Young
Mems Association celebrated its fiftieth
anniverssry tonight. The principal event
was the presence and speech Of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. It was his first public APP
pearance here in eight years. He received
an ovation, and the enthusiasm Of the
great audience was plainly pleasure to
him. After the exercises complimentary
dinner was given in honor of Mr.. Cfeve-
land 1T the Hotel Iroquois BY his personal
and political friends In Buffalo.
In his remarks in response to the toast
masters welcome Mr.. Cleveland became
reminiscent and said he had been striving
for several years to believe he was still on
the sunny aide of the time which separates
middle age from the last declivity of life,
but now here, recalling the memory Of
thirty-fve years ago, he yielded the strug-
gle and enrolled himself among those no
longer young. He said his mind was full
of recollections of experiences connected
With his early life in Buffalo. Some Of
these were rugged but healthful, and APP
pear TO him now robbed of everything save
The features that make them welcome
memories. Referring in . jocular way to
his former partner, Bissell, who was pres
ent, Cleveland said:
am glad to know he has grown 70 b . fair
lawyer and IL . respectable citisen. I under
stood he has lately married, which il something
that for the last i've or six years have thought
was . very proper thing for man of his age, or
even my age, to do.
Referring to Buhalo's first mayor, Cleve-
land said he was not acquainted with the
gentleman, but recalled the celebration Of
BufFalo's semi-centennial, and was well ac-
quainted with the man who was then
mayor. This man afterwards dabbled in
state and national politics. At any rate
he had had government job for four
years, and then, like others. lost his place.
He was accused, I am told, of talking too
much about the tariff. and charged with trying
to ruin the country in divers ways. In point
of fact, however, he was convinced that not
withdrawing We hear of civil service reform he
was discharged for purely partisan reasons. He
did great deal Of hard work and was much
perplexed and troubled, but his greatest trial
was his alienation OF many personal and polit-
ical friends in making appointments to Office
II was impossible to avoid this, and It viii con-
tinue to b impossible ~ long as the applicant
and appointer occupy such entirely different
points Of observation. and as long a. public duty
may sometimes stand In the way Of personal
friendship.
