by the court yesterday, but subsequently TINS

Justice Fuller. lie will render decision
thereon to-day, and that decision will OF course
govern the action of the Fair management
until the appeal is passed on. Meanwhile there
is an effort to induce the State courts to in

is hardly to be seriously apprehended.
Carelessness on the part Of prison keepers
hereabouts has become epidemic. The two es-

two from the pententiary in Brooklyn, and
now Tombs prisoner has taken flight in way

from the Commissioners of Charities.
There will be little surprise at the action OF
the Democratic majority in the Kings County
Board of Supervisors in reapportoning the AS

Court OF Appeals. They have, TO be sure, made
the new districts reasonably equal in popula

make sixteen Democratic districts and only

VARIETY NECESSARY.
A Fact Not as Thoroughly Understood as
1t Should BE.

1t Should BE.
One article fed to stock may contain
all of the elements necessary to main
tain an animal life, yet it will be an ex-
ceptional case when any one material
can be considered the most economical
to feed. The principal reason for this
is that some of the elements will be in
excess as compared with others. An
animal will use only n certain proper
tion of the different elements, so that
If more than Is needed is in the food it
is more or less wasted. The most eco
nomical feeding is that which supplies
the elements of nutrition in the right
proportion to secure the results Cor
which 1t is supplied. 1t is for this rea-
son that in nearly all cases and with all
kinds of stock good variety is essen
tial to the securing of the best results.
But the object for which the food is
supplied must be considered in deter
mining the ration to be given. Some
materials are best adapted to growth
and others are fattening. One is best
to secure good growth and develop
ment of bone and muscle while another
is best to finish for market. One will
help to increase the quantity of milk
while another will add to the quality.
Corn is acknowledged to be one of the
very best rations for fattening stock of
any kind while oats is one of the very
best single rations to feed for muscle
alone.
A knowledge of the nutritive value
of different materials is valuable in
| feeding, as in the majority of cases the
work can be done more economically.
To secure the best results, variety
should combine the elements of animal
nutritious in the right proportions.
This will be found in mixed ration of
the cereal grains and,grasses.
Corn is heating food and can nearly
always be used to a good advantage in
the winter ration, but less is needed in
summer except with fattening stock.
Hogs can be fattened very rapidly now
If they can have the run of clover and
are given all the corn they will eat.
| Cows that are to give the largest flow
of milk can be given bran with ground
oats and corn meal during the summer
even when on good pasturage. Oats
can be made the principal ration of the
work teams because oats supply the
elements needed for bone and muscle.
Yet bran mash once a week with a
change of other materials, will help ma.
terially in keeping up good condition.
| No set rules should be followed as
the materials grown on the farm must
in measure determine what the rations
shall be. They will vary with locality.

ABOUT FARM PESTS.

An Optimistic Quaker Tells why They
Are Not an Unmitigated Evil.
Some years ago the farm was literal
ly overrun by rats. They were all
through the house from cellar to gar
ret. They were in full possession of
cribs. granaries, ba rms, sheds and out
houses; they were in haystacl<s straw
stacks and corn fodder shocks all over
the farm. All measures for driving
them off were of Abe least possible
avail. 1t was of no use to kill them,
since two seemed to come for everyone
that was killed. The situation was so
annoying that 1.-THE rats" was topic of
conversation among neighbors when
they met, even on Sundays.
We had a Pennsylvania Quaker for a
:neighbor, q very intelligent man, and
one of the best and neatest farmers in
the country. He came to see US on
business one day, and among other sub
jects that came up for remark was ''the
rat nuisance" with which we We're all
afflicted. To our astonishment this
good farmer unlike anybody else. took
the opposite side of the question from
us and everybody else, and said the
farmers were to blame for the whole
flood of rats. He said he had none to
speak of about his farm or buildings,
because he had no harbors for them;
there were no places for them to hide
and breed; that his dog and cats could
not follow them. He said the few he
had were in the woodpile, and he was
ashamed of the. fact, because he ought
to have had his men pile the wood
when it was prepared for the house in
stead of leaving it in one great loose
pile.
He said what we called pests were
sent to make us more tidy and careful.
i thought could catch him on weeds
on the farm, but he took the lead even
better than ON the former question by
saying weeds made us better farmers,
more Industrious, more thorough cult
vators of the soil. The thought was a
new one, and thirty years of observa-
tion has confirmed the impression
mase by this good man that pests
serve a valuable purpose in farm econ

door at the corner, the steps to which
are removed when not in use. The
building being set on posts . feet from
the ground and tin shields being placed
on these, mice and rats cannot enter to
disturb the birds.
The rear or north wall of the breed
ing room is feet high. Against it the
nest boxes, about 200 in number, are
placed. These should be of dressed
white pine boards, painted white, with
perches for the old birds to alight on
A board slanting downward should be
placed under each perch to prevent the
birds soiling those beneath them.
Grocery store boxes can be added when
additional nests are needed.
The floor of cage and house and the
side walls may be of hemlock, made to
fit closely, the sides being stripped to
keep out wind. The roof should be rain
tight. If the birds get wet they are Ii
able to take cold which will develop
canker and other diseases. The cage
should be boarded 8 feet from the floor,
and the netting be 119-inch mesh.

III animals lived as long as their own

SOME people have to run the gamut of
error before they get on the right track
WHETHER you feed two or three times
day, see that the animal has all il
wants.
IT is claimed that the feed that will
make apound of beef will make pound
of butter.
THE difference between the gain on a
scrub animal and full blood will often
pay for the feed.
LACK of water or supply of bad wa,

OIL Meal for Pigs,

Linseed oil meal is safe and excel
lent food for pigs if given in modera-
ton, but as this meal is highly con-
centrated food, not more than half a
pound day, mixed with other food,
should be given to year-old pig. A
good and safe mixture is three pounds
of wheat bran, two pounds of corn
meal or pea meal, and one-half pound
linseed oil meal for pig of one hun
dred and fifty pounds. This food may
be made into a slop, not too thin, with
skinned milk or water, if the milk is
wanting.

The Fast Mail

What promises to be the greatest at
tempt in the era of realism will be seen
at the Grand Opera house, next Satur-
day evening, the 30th. in the melodra-
ma of Lincoln J. Carter's Fast Mail. -
The play is famous throughout the
country for the completeness and mag
nitude of its mechanical effects. The
production is under the personal super
vision of its authOr-Lincoln j. Carter.
Special scenery is carried for the ten
complete sets used in the play. In the
second act steamboat is shown
with the boiler rooms and their intri-
cate machinery and the glowing fur
naces. The boat is blown up by a
tremendous explosion, and the wreck is
seen going down in mid-river. The
great railway scene is another of the
unprecedented achievements of their
performance in the direction of realism.
A freight of fourteen cars is run across
the stage with an Illuminated caboose
and practical locomotive. The fire.
man and engineer are seen at their
respective stations. looks like reality
itself. a mail train comes speeding
by and catches the mail pouch just as
every one has seen it do many times
In the last act Niagara Falls are
shown in all their natural beauty. A
cataract of real water is put on the
stage, and it .boils and foams in the
most natural way. The soft moon
light adds to the effect. and the scene
needs only the addition of the suspen-
sion bridge to complete the effect of
reality.
