Regimental Losses.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I notice in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, in reply to L. d.

with q loss of 295 men killed or died of
wounds. viii you please inform the read.

lost POI killed-S6 had died of disease or in
rebel prsons-a total of 2s7 killed or died and
SIS wounded. Is it not probable that of the
5l5 wounded quite a number died, which may
have caused its loss to exceed 295. the loss of
the 5th N. n. &c. s. w. Fox, Numidia, Co.
lumbia County, Pa.
As we understand, Col. Fox makes his grad
ing according to the number eff mon who were
actually killed or died OF wounds. This would
give the 9Th n. Fl. a rank ahead of the S3d Pa
In the statement of the 57th Mass's losses the
number, pol, includes all the men who were
killed or are known to have died from wounds
within . short time after receiving them.
OF course many men in each Of these regi-
nents died from the effects Of wounds years
after the war but it is not practicable to include
these, and if it was done it would not probably
alter the rating Of these giments.-EDITOR

Antony. of Texas

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Littlejohn, of the 10th KY, Grayson, KY, asks
for the antecedents of Ed L. Antony, Congress
man from Texas. Mr.. Editor, your reply is
correct as far as it goes. But let US 60 little
farther after this Southern soldier. hater. /
know something of Mr.. Antony, having myself
been citizen of Texas at one lime Mr.. Antony
is demagog of the first water. He was elected
County Attorney of Milan Co., Tex. At that time
there was tax levied on dogs in Texas. but by
some mistake the Assessor of Milan County
failed to return the dogs for taxes, and, as o
matter Of course, the taxes were not paid. Mr..
Antony, during one of his sober SPELLS made the
startling discovery that the poor people of the
County had failed to pay the dog tax; so with
q terrible frown and ridiculous display of
legal antics, he forced q compromise on the dog
tax by which he took about $500 from the pso.
pie Of the County. That was his last term of
Office in Milan County. He has run for County
Judge Of Milan several times since, but has
got left on the dog tax. Mr. Antony is not
popular in his own County, and would not have
been elected to Congress if his opponent had
been q popular man. He is q good criminal
lawyer good soldier hater, and good Judge
of whisky. Yours. in F., G. and L-W. C..

suits is as follows: a. "The health of the

animal the weight of the animals averaging
about 900 pounds per head. The health of the
calves receiving one pound daily seems to have
been affected seriously. (2) The yield of milk
was increased about one-fifth when cows were
fed cotton seed meal instead of bran, the cot
ton-seed meal constituting about three-ffths
the grain ration and about one-fonrth the total
food eaten. The per cent. Of fat il the milk
was not materially changed. The quantity of
butter fat produced was, therefore, appreciably
increased by feeding cottOn-seed meal in place
of bran. (3.) With the extractor the per cent.
of fat recovered-about IS per cent.-was prac-
tically the same whether bran or cotton-seed
meal was fed. With the deep cold setting sys-
