Japanese buckwhcat differs In no way
as regards feeding qualities from our
common buckwhcat, and rs buclwheat
Is an excellent grain for sheep when
mixed with oats or rye. there can be no
harm In using tho Japanese variety for
this purpose. As compared with corn
aud bran, II IA Of tho least value for
feeding, being deficient In fat. which IL
tho most valuable part Of the food. Tho
feeding value per 100 pounds Of buck
wheat has been estimated nj seventy.
seven cents; wheat bran ti.oi, and corn
ELL. Buckwbcat, according 20 this
estimate, IL the least valuable Of all the
grains for feeding. and bushel Of II IL
worth only thirty-fve cents for this pur-
pose. II IL probable that II could be
sold for moro than this, and thus could
DO better disposed OF in this way.
But, writes Henry Stewart to Rural
New Yorker. II should b. said that in
practice those theoretical feeding values
arc considerably modified by circum-
stances, especially by tho mixture Of
foods. by which they become more d.
gestiblo. In feeding buckwheat and
corn ground together to sows with young
pigs I obtained more growth Of the
young pigs than with as much corn meal
alone. And In feeding corn. ryo and
lfickwhcat, whole, mixed In equal parts,
to sheep, the ewes have done better and
the lambs have grown better than with
corn only. Thus consider buckwheat
cheap feed at the comparative valua-
tion above given. This IA duo 10 ia ei-
feet In increasing tho flow OF milk, rs
well as TO tho better digestion Of tho
mixed food. The nutritlve ratio OF tho
mixed grain Is to 90, which is desir.
able one.

duetive or otherwise undesirable. On

succeeds best. as 1t Is less likely to run

ENrANcLED wIrm MANY CHARGES.

ID, Taylor, Who Assaulted Omcer Tally.
Fined si5 and Sent to the Grand Jury.
d. Taylor is safe in the hands of the
law. Mayor Evans tried him ycster-
day morning on the charge Of assault
ing Myra Patterson on which charge
Officer Tally was making tho arrest
when Taylor assaulted the officer On
this charge he was first given hear
ing. The prisoner was defended by
Captain Berkeley.
The evidence in both cases was con-
elusive, and Taylor was fined S. on tho
hrst charge and SO on the second.
Mr.. logo appeared as prosecutor in
Taylor with robbery 10y taking Officer
Tally's pistol This charge was tried
before Judge Williams yesterday after
noon. Again Mr.. Hogo prosecuted the
case and again Captain Burkeley de-
Tended the prisoner.
The first the defense aimed to mako
was that Taylor seized the o.iicor's
pistol after Tally had drawn it to pre-
vent being shot. The defense main
tanned that Taylor struck Officer Tally
before he drew his pistol or attempted
to place nippers on his wrists. I
During tho argument Capt Berkeley
made remark while Mr.. IIoge was
speaking which the latter construed as
an insult. Mr.. logo and other persons
understood him TO say that either he
+ (Hogc) or Mayor Evans had lied.
MIR. lIogc picked up book as though
he intended to use it as missile, when
Officer Vest compelled him to put it
down. The argument then proceeded
as though nothing had happened
After patient hearing of the case,
Judge Williams sent Taylor on to the
grand jury and committed him to the
city Jail

BEER FOR A CLUB.
How King and Harris Tried to Eynde the
Charge OF Sunday Selling.

How King and Harris Tried to Eynde the
Charge of Sunday Selling.
Murray King and Charles Harris
were tried before Mayor Evans yester-
day morning on the charge of selling
liquor on Sunday Mr.. Ilogc appeared
as counsel for the defendants, and after
hearing the evidence the mayor fined
King $40 and dismissed Harris
The case against Il. a. Langley, for
the same cffense, was next tried. Lang
ley was represented by Thomas NJ.
Wood. An additional charge OF Keeping
q disordcrly place was also preferred.
Before the evidence OF the officers was
heard, Chief Morris had Langlcy's
pharaphernalia exhibited before the
court. Langley could not explain why
he had the refrigerator in the second
story OF an clubhouse with beer on tap.
Finally the idea OF club struch him.
There was n club-name unknown
composed of many reputable colored
mon who favored taking ii glass of beer
on Sunday.
For their accommodation he fl tied up
his old refrigerator ana stocked it with
beer which they paid for. lie made no
profit, nor did he attend to the impro-
viscd saloon. Each man had key and
went IN To get beer as he wanted IT,
mis- went on every day in the week be-
sides Sunday
The mayor was very anxious TO know
the names OF the members of this club
After some hesitation Langley gave
those Of Sam Early, c. II. Person. d. 0.
Powell, j. Il. Henderson, Stephen Davis,
Henry Johnson, Chas. Scott, Samn.
Langley, Robert Davis and Grill
Brickey
The evidence seemed very conclusive
that langley was running machine in
evasion Of the law, but there was no
testimony forthcoming that liquor was
actually sold on Sunday. The mayor
reserved his decision ill this morning.
