FOOD FOR STOCK.
Hints for the Husbandman Given by
the Bureau of Animal
Industry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The second
of n series Of circulars Of information
prepared by the bureau of animal in.
dustry has been published by the de-
partmeut Of agriculture. 1t is dis
cussion Of wheat as food for growing
and fatteniug animals
DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau says:
Daring the past year there have been
numerous inquiries in regard to the
chemical composition OF wheat as com
pared with corn and oats. its relative
value ss a food for growing and fatten-
ing animals. and the method of feeding
which would produce the best results.
These inquiries have. doubtless, been
suggested by the great change in the
comparative prices of the grains Just
mentioned.
As result Of the experiments made,
and shown in tables given in the circu-
lar, it is stated that "equaI parts. of
wheat and corn should, therefore
prove better for fattening animals than
either of these grains alone For
growing animals corn is plainly not
30 suitable as is wheat or oats, When
wheat snd corn are the same price per
bushel, it il preferable to feed wheat
and sell corn. The best way in which
to feed wheat is to roll or grind it into
coarse meal. 1t may then be fed alone
or mixed with corn meal or ground
oats. 1t should when possible be mixed
with some other grain, aud care should
he taken to prevent any one animal
from getting more than the quantity
intended for it.
Respecting the chemical and econ
omical features of the grain. DR.. Sal
mon says; "Tbe information derived
from the tables should be used in con
neetion with our knowledge of the
habits OF animals and the practical re.
suit Of feeding. We should not care to
assert, for instance, that wheat screen
ings are in general more valuable as n
food for animals than theplump, sound
wheat, although the table would indi-
cate this to be the case. We may, how
ever, safely conclude that the SCREEN
ings and imperfect wheat should be fed
and only the best wheat put upon the

THE HAGUE. Holland, Aug. 30.
IN DISPATCH regarding the disaster
I'M to the Dutch forces operating
I1\ against the rajah of TIE island OF
IL " Lombok, near Jara. is published
In the official journal today. The dis
patch says that General Vetter, the
commander of the expedition, was sur
prised at II o'clock at night near
Tjakra Negera, The firing was con-
tlnuous until morning and the Dutch
In this engagement lost fourteen killed
and eighty wounded. AS the
water supply of the column
failed, aud as foraging was i'm
possible, the Dutch troops were com.
PEELED to retreat towards Mataram, the
capital of the island. During the re-
treat the Ddtch lost heavily, being
continually harassed by the natives,
and at one place in the route they found
that barracsdes had been raised These
distractions were so stoutly defended
by the native warriors that the troops
were unable to force a passage and
were compelled to make long detour
in order to avoid the blockaded route.
and in so doing they lost more meu.
The Dutch succeeded in reaching
Ampenan on Aug 90, with a total OF
casualties far in excess OF the number
at first reported. The killed included
four officers and siXty-three men; there
were twelve officers and 1853 men
wounded, and six officers and 14S mon
missing. Consequently TWENTY-FIVE
officers and 3G4 men were killed.
wounded or missing during the sue
cessive engagements with the natives.
In addition the Vetter column lost four
field guns.
DUTCH SUSTAIN HEAVY LOSSES.
1t now appears that two other
columns OF Dutch troops operating
upon the same island have sustained
heavy losses and endured much suffer-
ing. These are the columns COM
manded by Colonels Van Pabst and
Bylsvelt. These columns have been
operating separately and have also sue.
ceeded in reaehing Ampeuan. Their
losses are not stated, buc they are ad-
mitted. Colonel Van Pabst was among
the officers killed with his column.
Five steamers carrying troops and
field guns leave Batavia. Java, for
Lombok tomorrow and every effort
will be made to retrieve the disaster to
the Dutch arms.
Tue news of the loss sustained by
the Dutch forces sent to punish the
RRjsh of Lombok has caused great ex
citement throughout Holland, and it is
believed that tho whole truth is not
yet known, and that when the losses to
the Van Pabst and Bylsvelt columns
are added to those sustained by the
Vetter columns, the loss in killed,
wounded and missing will be over 500
men.
The people are clamoring for the
latest news from Lombok, and the gov
ernment is urged promptly to despatch
the strongest reinforcements possible
10 that island. The governor general
os the Dutch Indies, General Van der
Wick, has summoned council of the
naval and military commanders, who
are determining upou the decisive
measures to be taken in order to wipe
out the defeats OF the Dutch troops.
