A NEW CATTLE FOOD.
Meat Of sunflower Cake Now Used In Many
Parts of Europe.

Parts of Europe.
Sunfower cake has been found, es-
pecially in Russia. one OF the best
auxiliary cattle foods. As early ms the
year 1866 about 100000 centners OF sun
flower oil (oil of the seeds OF Helian-
thus annuus) were manufactured in
Russia. and its amount has increased
year by year, it being esteemed as
very palatable alimentary oil. The
oil was formerly obtained by hydraulic
means; the residual cake is harder
than any other variety of oil cake. and
for this reason apparently IL has not
found a wider application. Denmark
and the northern countries import
large qua ntities Annually, as do also
the eastern provinces OF Germany, and
the problem of its disintegration has
been successfully solved by several
manufacturers there. 1t is still I'M

THE DIRECT TAX.
4 Clause That Was Not Put In the ConstI-

tuition just for Fun.
The Evening Post is right in conjcc-
turing that when the clause about di-
rect taxes was put into the constitution
lit was not done for fun or as a contri'
button TO literature" But the Even.
ing Post is wrong in its conjecture that
the clause was framed to prevent one
part of the country from saddling an
other part with an excessive share OF
taxation.
1t was part Of the com promise with
slavery. IL was put into the constitu-
ton by way of compelling the slave
states to pay direct taxes on the same
basis of calculation as that on which
they were represented in the lower
house of congress.
The free states wanted every sta tie
represented in proportion to its free
nha bitants only. The slave states
wanted their slaves counted in appor-
tioning representation. The contro-
vcrsv.- saws Mr.. Justice Story. was
full OF excitement and was maintained
with 80 much obstinacv on each side
that the convention was more .han
once on the eve of dissolution.
AZ length a compromise was adopted
by which the representation of the
slave states should bc based upon the
total number OF their free Inhabitants
plus three fifths OF their slaves. Judge
story adds.
an order TO reconcile the non-slave'
holding states TO this arrangement. IL
was agreed that direct taxes should ne
apportioned in the same manner as
representatives.
This is the whole story. The thing
was not done for fun. Neither was II
done to prevent one part OF the coun-
try taNin. another excessively. II was
done to make the slave states pay 70,
their privilege OF representation on
Slave population and thus to secure an
agreement upon the basis Of federal
union.

OF the matter clearly in mind. The
clause j. wholly oniworn. The cir
