The European correspondent of an
exchange says: The employment of
wheat. oats and barley in the feeding
of fattening and milk stock, as well as
rations for horses, gains ground. One
Belgium cattle broker" sends daily
wagon loads of condensed forage
loaves to Paris, and must meet with a
sale, since the consignments continue.
1t seems to be a compound of chaffed
hay and straw, coarsely ground wheat
barley and beans, with perhaps a little
of cotton seed cake and a trace of
crushed oats. This mass is fermeated,
nodded into loayes three feet long. and
five pounds in weight. The feed is rel
ished by cattle and horses. NJ W2u-
thier, a dairy farmer in Belgium, feeds
his seventy cows solely on that bread.
In France, when wheat is substituted
for cake 2la pounds of coarse wheaton
meal are mixed with pounds of
chaffed fodder. Many prefer to en-
ploy the cereals in the form of loaves.
NJ. Petitot 'bakes his own bread" for
his stock; the dough is composed of 20
parts of rye flour, 20 parts of barley. %
of first and second quality wheaton
-four; parts of leaven, and the rest Of
water The bread is well sailed, and
is stepped one neHF DetoFe DeiHS given

sists of 33 pounds of silo stuff 6}a
pounds of the loaf bread. ana %
pounds Of loaf hay. in two feeds. NJ.
Petitot finds the food is better digested
in this form, and suits admirably fat
tening stock The substitution CT
bread for hay and oats, has many
partisans The Marquis de Dampine
estimates that pa pounds of bread is
equal to 10 pounds Of hay and AZ
pounds Of oats M. Pluochet employs
barley loaves, II pounds of which he
finds to be equivalent in point of nu-
triton, to of oats. and he, by this
means effects a saving Of nearly IL
francs per week. per horse: while IN
he case OF fattening stock. the weekly
economy is I 1-5 franc.

that a proclamation bearing the en-
peror's name has been issued describing
the empire as finished, and asserting
that he is unable longer to govern
and that the officials he trusted are cor
rupt.
IT is added that the proclamation has
caused great excitement and that there
are signs of rebellion. The document,
however, is said to be the work of
secret societies.
ashington. April 15.-Little doubt is
felt at the state department that the
proclamation posted in Shanghai an
nouncing that the Chinese empire is
finished is really the work of secret
societies, for there is noryecord in his
tory of the voluntary aSiication of a
Chinese emperor 1t is said that these
secret societies, aimed at the existence
of the present dynasty, are numerically
strong in the central provinces, and it
is apprehended that upon the conclu-
sion of peace their ranks will be swelled
by the disbanded soldiers influenced by
the Human, or war, party, and that
sporadic revolutionary movements may
be expected in various parts of the
country.

Mr.. James A. Guiliiams furnishes
to the Ohio Farmer the following de-
seription of the above-naned breed Of
sheep:
Tunis. formerly known as Carthage,
is a mountainous country in northern
Africa, and al one time stood first
among the most powerful nations o.
the earth The mighty Hannibal led
the brave Carthagenian army over
snow-covered Alps and for seventeen
years held high carnival among the
fiowery fields of Italy, in defiance of
the combined Roman legions.
Such is the native land of the Tunis
sheep. They are species of the broad
or fat tail breed. and for more than
three thousand years they have been
bred and raised in all purity among
the mountains and valleys of Tunis,
Egypt. Morocco and Algeria. They are
first mentioned in the Bible in Levitt
Gus, iii 9. Later. about 1890 years
ago. Herodotus describes them as being
in Syria and Palestine. and having
tail che cubit in width us inchesl.
From time immemoTial they have been
the leading variety OF sheep bred and
raised throughout the Barbary states
in northern Africa and in Turkey,
Persia, and Arabia. In Turkey these
sheep are bred partly for the fat of the
tall which sometimes weighs SO
pounds or more and is manufactured
into kind of butter that is greatly
relished by the people Of those coun-
tries in Tunis these sheep have been
bred more for wool and mutton, and
are far superior 10 any other breed OF
sheep ever introduced into Northern
Africa.
In 1879 the first pair of Tunis sheep
were brought over to America. They
were placed under the care of Judge
Richard Peters OF Belmont, near Phila-
delphia, Pa, who bred and raised theA
pure for more than twenty years with
renlar kahle success. They proved to
be very hardy and prolific. but fine
Merino wool was selling at 81 per pound
and mutton sheep were poor property.
Judge Peters sent a number OF the
Tunis sheep TO North and South Caro-
lima. Virginia and Geor la, where they
were bred and raised in consfde, able
number until the beginning of the war
In 1861. during which they were about
all destroyed
