1t is worth constant thought that young
animals differ very much in the natural
requirements for food from older a1lnalS.
The system is growing rapidly and is form
ing the solid frame that is complete in a
full grown animal. This frame is built
up of two important substances, viz, phos-
phate of lime and nitrogen. The bones con-
sist of so nearly equal portions of mineral
matters and gelatine, that for all practical
purposes this proportion may be taken
tine has about IS per cent of nitrogen III
it, and the mineral matters consist almost
wholly-the proportion is 800 parts to IA
of phosphate and carbonate of lime, the
former being about so to 5 of the latter.
As everything in an animal is derived
from the food, the feeding of young ami
NAL is, therefore, a matter to be considered
in the light Of these facts, and the food
must contain these elements of nutrition
in due proportion. Thus we lind that
some kinds of food are better for young
animals than others, as bran, in which
there is nearly > per cent of phosphorlc acid
and II per cent Of nitrogen and milk, III
which these elements of complete nutrition
are abundantly contained Linseed meal has
about per cent of phosphoric acid and
cotton seed meal Still more, and both are
exceedingly rich in nitrogen. These are.
therefore. good for young animals.
But there is something else to consider
in regard to the chemical character Of
food than its mere nutriment. The con
diton into which this exists is to be taken
into account. For instance SKINNED milk
contains the nitrogen and the phosphoric
acid needed for young animal, but it is
not nearly so digestibe as the whole milk.
because of the absence of the innumerabe
fat globules by which it is divided into Il
vast number of exceedingly minute cells,
each containing fat globulcs. one or more,
as the case may be. Thus the whole
milk is more easily attacked by the gastric
fluid. and the curd formed in the stomach
is spongy and of an open texture and thus

HE PASSED THE QUEER
While Oh Spree in Augusta Some limo Ago
and Now He is Trouble.

Augusta, Ga, April Ii -(Special. THE
first of last month rather weIl-dressed
countryman came to Augusta and visited
several bagnioS where he lavished money
freely. The money the fellow spent, how
ever, was yalueless, for it was counterfeit
and the girls were gulled. Among the
money paid i'll settlement of his bill was "A
$50 counterfeit gold piece and he was given
his change i'll good coin. Detectives have
been working faithfully on the case ever
since from description furnished of the man
by Madame Edna Denote. Suspicion
fell upon DR.. j. NJ. Glover, young man
down in Glascock county. Dr. Glover
was Swallowed and followed to Gibson, and
when he saw the officers after him, Detec-
tive Kelly says. the young physician jump
ed out of Il window and escaped, making
good his way to a swamp. DR.. Gloy-
er kept out of the way until day before
yesterday, when he was caught by Mr..
Welchers. Detective Howard and United
States Deputy Marshal Whitley were tcle-
graphed of the arrest and they went down
to Gibson yesterday morning and brought
DR.. Glover back with them and placed him
III Jail tonight. Mr.. Whitley says DR..
Glover admits having passed the counter
felt money, but does not know how he
came i'll possession of it. He is willing to
make good the bogus money. The case
will come UP before the United States court

Four-fifths Of the ashes are in such form
useless for plant food. As a fertilizer,
therefore, coal ashes are but little better
than so much fine sand, yet, when well
sifted and put on grass growing on sandy,
open soils, they often seem to increase the
crop. As often explained before, what
they really DO in such cases is to fill up
or clog the open spaces in the soil and
prevent the rapid drainage or evaporation
of water. The coal ashes are good for
mulch around currant or berry bushes for
the same reason, but as a fertilizer they
are of no value

came to Wisconsin in 1867. This at that time
was a wheat state. We had but very little to
sell but wheat. That means, had money
but once year, and when we got it, we owed every
dollar of it to the money loaners and the mer'
chants, and often it would not go around, One
year we would catch up, the next go behind, and
we all the time growing about the times, money
sbavers, high rates of interest rail Dads, ything
and everything, but the real cause.
After years of that kind of farming, some pulled
up and went farther west to repeat the same thing
over again. Some of us began to think if we
could only farm III such n way that we would have
something to sell at all times of the year, we would
have money all the time That would mean, pay
as we went but how were we to do it. In debt on
our land, no fences and no market for much but
wheat.

have to SELL Our land that was then worth $25

We have to pay $500 year and board for man

Now, let me say, there is no state, south or west,
but that will be poor, and out OF luck, as long as
they depend on any one crop. In order TO get
money you must have something to buy 1t with.

HOW THE WEEKS TRADE WAS.
A Great Demand for Money and Collections


New York, April 14-R G. Dun & Co.'S.
weekly review says: The ruling fact in
the business situation is the Outgo of gold
$3,50O,OOO Tuesday, $1,OOO,OOO and posi-
bly, more today-with the prospect of a
large amount Tuesday next. Treasury gold
is again reduced below $2,O0O,O00 in excess
of the bullion fund.- and there is more talk
of bond issues, with the old doubt whether
these would meet the real difficulty, which
is the enormous excess of imports over
ports of goods.
Pig iron is steady, though Bessemer is
rather weak. Nails are stagnant and bar
offered by western mills below the cost Of
production at the east. Plates are a little
stronger and the structural demand very
large but at prices extremely low. Cop
per is also q shade lower, the output ex-
ceedlng the present demand. Tin declined
q llttle, but recovered and lead is stronger.
Coal has q stronger look, though the output
Tor the year is nearly 100000 tons greater
than last year. The movement Of wool is
small.
Trade in cotton goods was rather disap-
pointing in April thus far, with some shirt
Ings reduced and print cloths dull. The
boot and shoe trade is somewhat unsettled
as to the advance of II to , cents,
which some manufacturers obtain, but
many buyers refuse. In the speculative
markets, cotton Il lower the pressure

western ports of nearly 100000 bushels
in four days. Prices have advanced only
IL cent while corn declined IL cent, and
oats advanced IL cent.
Pork products are Il shade stronger, Also
oil; but coffee weaker. The outlook for iron
at Pittsburg is not so bright, but the glass
trade is fairly good. Trade at Cleveland
is good in manufactured iron, quite large,
w'th u heavy decrease in wool, rye: barley,
lard, flour and cheese. Trade in MilWau-
kee is good and St. Paul and Minneapolis
increasing, being especially brisk in lumber.

noted. At Kansas City trade is good with

admits the digestive fluid into all parts
of the mass, while the SKINNED milk is
more apt to form a solid lump in the stom-
ach and remain uudigested Il longer time,
because the gastric fluid is unable to pene-
trate the mass.
This is to be avoided, then, by the mixture
of some linseed meal well boiled, adding
the gummy, mucaginous liquid thus form
ed with the skinned milk. The meal of
the whole seed is to be used, or the seed
itself, because of the large quantity Of fat
globules contained in the seed. these, with
the mucilage, dividing the curd of milk

on skinned milk will grow better by the
admixturc of this meal, or the liquid made
by boiling it for an hour Or 50.
