Feeding MoInSses to stock.

Some years since Prof. Macrcker
after a series of extended experiments
concluded that the maximum of mo-
llSscS to be fed per 1000 pounds live
four pounds for oxen and two and a
half pounds for mich COWS. These
limits have frequently not been adj
hcred TO. and many complications
have followed. OF late it is urged
THAT a special molaSScS folder be
used; il consists. besides the resi-
dunn of some absorbing medium.

qucntly represents 90 per cent. of the
total. Experts now say, however.
that a far better proportion is to have
one of mOlaSSeS to one of the other
substances. that is to say, 30 per cent,
in weight Of the fodder of whatever
elements it may consist.
Already on several European mar
ketS a product is sold for stock feed:
its composition is go per cent, mo

containing 20 per cent. protein. 3 per

In every case the results by feed
ing these ratiOnS to cattle have been
most satisfactory: the percentage has
increased. satisfactory results have
been obtained in fattening sheep with

note that an astonishing success has
been obtained by adding to the water

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING M
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Near York Tribune says: THE habit Of
taking headache powders is increasing 10 an
alarming extent among a great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for anv
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women us-ally begin taking them to re-
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium fend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;

HIS PROP FELL.
Rev. n. r. Hopkins Loses the Principal
Point In His Contest.

The principal witness examined
so far in the Hopkins-Kendall con-
gressional contest was X. j. Hamp-
ton, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee of this
district and editor and proprietor
of the Winchester Sun, the Repub-
lcan organ of the district, and
also the business partner of John
l.. Bosley, who ran against Judge
Beckner for the short term. His
examination began on the DIST and
ended on the oath inst. His story
ON cross-examination substantiates
the claims of the Democrats. The
principal ground of contest on the
part of Hopkins was that the sub
stitution OF the coon for the eagle
in Clark county was secured by
Democratic fraud. The facts as
brought out by the cross-cxamina-
ton of Mr.. Hampton shows the
| following:
| Some time last spring Mr.. IIamp-
tons paper contained an article
virtually declaring that the Rcpub-
lican party would be better of
without the negro. Several Of the
prominent negroes told him that
tho colorcd voters were offended ut
| the article. but he still stands by
the sentiments then expressed,
Some tim" after this the Republic
can convention was called to NOM
inato a county ticket. After the
call and prior to the meeting of
this convention the negroes held IA
public meeting, which was largely
attended. They adopted resolu-
tons recommending certain per-
sons, some white and some colored,
for places on the county ticket.
Tho white convention refused to
receive tho committee or read its
petition. This angered the negroes,
and II public meeting was held a
few nights after, which was largely
attended. Several negro leaders
made speeches donouncing the ac-
tons of tho white Republicans. and
n list of candidates was adopted,
part white and part colorcd. They
at once got up petition signed by
l04 voters and filed it with the
county clerk. asking that these
names ho placed on the bollots,
claiming the name straight Re-
publican" and tho eagle for de-
vice. This was done some time be-
fore the certificates OF nomination
of the white convention were filed,
and as they were the first TO ask
for il the eagle was assigned To the
ticket of the colored convention,
and two conventions had asked for
the Same device, the clerk, under
the law, chose another device for
the last named set Of candidates,
thus giving rise to both the eagle
and "coon" tickets. The testimony
of Mr.. Hampton, given truthfully,
though reluctantly, shows that the
action Of the Sun in declaring the
negroes an incubus on the party,
was the cause of IA dual ticket, and
the Democrats had nothing to do
with the matter.
The Democrats are thoroughly
satisfied with the result of the in
vestigation. and are confident that
Mr.. Kendall will retain his seat.
