Nutrition of tho Dairy Cow.

It is estimated by the highest au-
thorities that it requires SIS pounds
digestible matter per day to keep a
steer of 1000 pounds weight In good
healthy condition and flesh, without
loss or gain. The same estimate is APP
piled approximately to the dairy cow.
According TO these authorities, a dry
COW of 1000 pounds will need s.s5
pounds of digestible food for support
alone, but if she is giving a full flow
of milk she will require 1874 pounds Of
digestible matter. Thus nearly 60 per
cent. of her food must go to support
to maintain life and health and fair
flesh and vigor. This being true, it is
estimated by the Wisconsin agricul.
tural station, that "a COW producing q
full flow of milk ought to receive over
70 per cent. more food than is required
to keep her when dry.
1t is not so much the amount of food
eaten that gives a profit as it is the
per cent. digested and assimilated. Tx
secure the best returns the COW mus
be fed up to her full capacity. If thu
food is of full weight-all that the COW
can possibly consume-the profit vii
still depend not on the amount of nu
triton in said feed, but the amount o
this nutrition extracted and appropri
ated by the COW, less the cost by wast'
of the force exerted by the animal sys
tenn in masticating, digesting and as
similating said food.-Southern Earn

HERE AND THERE.

1T takes adversely to develop great
ness. Success is the spoil of victory
over obstacles. The hard times of the
farm and workshop bring forth the most
of our great men. The progeny of the
rich sometimes amount to "a pretty good
hill of beans, but this does not often
happen.
Some people wonder why it is that
pigs thrive when eating dirt, but they
do not realize that it is clean dirt that
seems not only not to in jure hogs, but
to do them good They need antacids,
and lime, gypsum and every form of
SODA and potash are antacids, and they
airs the chief ingredients In clean
dirt"
Hogs require a great deal of water.
They are nearly as aquatic as ducks or
geese. When fed only grain they
must have water or they win not fat
ten. Why water enables pig to di.
gest his food better is not fully I'M
derstood; but it is a fact. And the
water should be strictly pure and
| clean. ts
-One great advantage of an incu-
bator is that you can hatch as early as
you can get fresh eggs. thus beating

It has been said that if you were to

There Is no crop, nos even clover,

WILL TAKE ACTION.
Secretary aIney Will Protect Mr..
PendIeton.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Conpressman
Cooper, of Florida, was very much inter-
ested in the report that c. IL. Pendeton,
Florida newspaper man, had been taken
off the Morgan Line steamer at Havana
yesterday by the Spanish authorities as
he was about to sail for Key West. Mr..
Cooper says he has known Mr.. pendleton
for fifteen years; that The is a man of
standing and influence in his community
and bona-fidc citizen of the United
States. He is the proprietor of the Equa-
tor Democrat at Key West
Mr.. Cooper says Pendleton is in poor
health and that if he Were imprisoned in
Moro Castle his life might be placed i'm
jeopardy. The Florida Congressman
went to the State Department the first
thing this morning in quest of additional
details of the arrest.
Secretary Olney told him the depart-
mcnt has received no report OH the case.
The Secretary was inclined to think that
Mr.. Pendleton had not been arrested but
merely had been detained on account of
some irregularity in mis- passports. How
ever, he promptly cabled Vice-Consul
General Springeroat Havana to investi-
gate and report Immediately on the case,
so that prompt action may be taken to
protect his rights as an American citizen.

GENERAL wEYLER HOPEFUL.

General Weyler's view of the Cuban
view, shows that he has given the subject
much study in all of it's phases and that
he has ut his fingers ends all the argu-
ments Spaniards use to Justify their
course III regard to the people of that
country. To hear him talk, the rebellion
is not much of an uprising, and what
Spain has not already quelled will be fin
ished III short order. This will, however,
not deceive any one but the Spanish gov
ernment for while it is very plausible, all
the facts are against his statements.
Maceo has plainly outgenerallcd him in
the recent campaign among the hills Of
Pinar del Rio province. and will no doubt
show up at some very inopportune time
for the Spanish captain-gencral and the
men under his command, notwithstand-
ing General Wcyler contends that his
army has been scattered and will all be
killed or captured AS to the other pro.
vinces, he insists that the rebellion in
them does not amount to much, and he
lntimates that when Maceo's forces have
been captured or completely dispersed
the war will virtually be over. In the
meantime he seems to think the people
of the United States and the rest of the
world have forgotten that Spain already
has more than 100000 soldiers on the
island and is preparing to send 40, 900
more. The captain general ought to have
| sense enough to know that, in,the face of
| these facts, it is idle for him to talk about
crushing the Cuban rebellion in few
/ months. The truth is Spain in attempt
ing to subjugatc Cuba has undertaken a
bigger contract than she can carry out
with such Il general rs Wcylei, and il
will not be very long before she will be

become SO enamored of the pomp and,
glare OF royalty and titles that they, in
many instances, abandon their native
land .altogether to reside there or seek
alliances for themselves and families
among the ruling classes Of the mother
land. In the ruder aspects of life in the
New World the nurture was too rough for
nobility to take root alongside the sturdy
independence of the yeomanry, who had
come to these wilds for escape from the
wrongs and expressions of the rich and
great in the Old World; but as the years
roll on and wealth accumulates, the love
of luxury and the things which it will
purchase soon .predominates, until there
is steady drift towards an oligarchy
made up of these requisites, and in time
secret preference for the glitter and
show of Il monarchical government takes
entire possession..o of those so situated. ~

of all this is, however, that unless viror-
