Most of the difficulties in growing
valuable cows, where the breeding
has been what it should be, come from
their feeding. 1t is hard to say
whether the fattening or the starva-
ton policy is worse for the future of
the COW. BY the first she is made fit
only for the butcher. By the second
the animal is stunted and its digestion
impaired so that il is little good for
any purpose. There should be an
abundance of food, and good share
of this should be succulent, so as to
furnish nutrition in bulky form and
stimulate the glands that carry the
milk. All the large milk-producing
Greeds of cows have originated in mild
and moist climates, where succulent
feed can be had during most of the
year. Ensilage is good feed for heif-
ers, though il it be of corn fodder
some dry clover hay should be fed
with it to increase the material for
growth. If clover cannot be had
small ration of wheat bran mixed with
the corn ensilage will make better
feed than ensilage alone.
We believe in breeding heifers
early, and at the same time feed liber-
ally Of food that will make growth
rather than fatten. If heifer drops
her first calf when she is year aud
half old she will always be better
mixer than II she were kept from
breeding until year later. If the
heifer is too small let there be long
time between the first and second
breeding, and in the meantime feed
more literally than ever, but not with
corn. Some oats'may, however, be
given, if the milk production is large
enough to keep the heifer thin in
flesh, but the grain feeding should be
stopped when the heifer dries off as
she approaches her second parturition.
Heifers thus managed will be about as
large as if they were kept until they
were past two years old before being
bred, and they will all their lives be
much better mixers. Boston Guilt

Vegetable Garden and Home Orchard.

BILL TO RELIEVE BlNKRUPTS
FEATURES OF MEASURE PASSED
BY CONGRESS.
Senator Hoar Says Tt Will Enable
10000 to 100000 Bankrupts to
Get On Their Feet Again.

Washington, June Ex-senator Hoar,
chairman of the senate committee on
judiciary, who has been urging the en-
actment of bankruptcy law for the
past 10 years, has given out a state
ment apropos of the senate's accept
ance of the conference report. Among
other things he says:
1.-The present bill is a compromise.
1t will undoubtedly be found that, in
getting It through, we have been
! obliged to leave in it some crudities
and imperfections which must be rem
edied by subsequent legislation. 1t is
quite likely that the fees of clerks,
referees and trustees will be found to
be low One of the great objections
was that under the old law the estates
were eaten up by costs. and that the
creditors got little or nothing. So We
have pared to the quick in that par
ticular. Instead of the long list of
crimes, there are only two for which
a bankrupt is to be punished-one that
of wilfully making a false answer in
the bankruptcy proceedings; the other
the embezZlement of the property of
the estate. The terms of discharge,
too, are exceedingly liberal, and it is
provided that farmers and wage-earn-
ers will not be the subjects of invol-
general to merchants, manufacturers,
bankers, printers and publishers, etc.
There are some possible cases of fraud
which the law will not prevent, but
the objection to a stE.cter one was so
great that it was not thought best to
risk the success of this bill by standing
out for perfect rule to be applied to
cases which would not occur once in
a thousand times.
The bill seems to me a great deal
better than that known as the Torrey
bill, in two particulars-on that the
settlement cannot be delayed by ap-
peals to the supreme court of the
United States, except in two cases;
first, where a federal question is in
volved, and, second, where a decision
of the supreme court is needed for uni
formity of construction throughout
the country; and, next, in the provision
for a summary application to a court
of appeals in an interlocutory war to
correct mistakes as the proceedings
go on, instead of waiting until the
final determination in the court below,
and then keeping the whole estate tied
up until after a final decision in the
higher court.
1.-THE bill will enable from 10000 to
100000 banl1rupts to get on their feet
again. 1t Will enable manufac turers
and merchants to get a fair division
of their debtors property, and will
prevent a great deal of fraud, embez-
element and wasteful dealing with
property

TROOPS WILL EMBARK MONDAY
THIRD PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION
ABOUT READY.
This Will Make $4,000 Troops Sent
to Misunderstanding Vessels For
the Fourth Expedition.

San Francisco. June 25.-The COM
manders of the organizations who are
to go with the third expedition to the
Philippines have not received final or
ders to embark, but they all expect to
break camp early Monday morning. The
work of sending stores to the transports
still goes on, but the troops will be
ready to start when the order comes.
| Today the commanders of the organi-
/ cations assigned to the fleet were sum-
moned to the headquarters of Brigadier
! General Macarthur, where they re-
ceived instructfons2Sega r ding-the- de-
! parture of the troops. After the con-
{ ference General Macarthur stated that
! he expected the troops would board the
! transports Monday, but he thought the
| fleet would not get away before Tues
/ day. as it would take a full day to
get the troops aboard the vessels and
have everything in shape for depar-
ture.
The finishing touches are being done
on the work of preparing the third
transport fleet, and with the exception
of the Valencia, all the vessels will be
ready to receive troops on Monday. The
City of Para, Morgan City, Ohio and
Indiana could receive the men tomor-
row, as only a small quantity of stores
has to be placed on each ship and this
work will be finished tonight.
If the Valencia is to go with the fleet
the departure will certainly not take
place on Monday as ordered, as the
work on the Valencia cannot possibly
be finished by that day. AS the New
port, on which General Merritt is 20
sail. is ordered to be ready to depart
on Wednesday,. it is thought that the
Para, Morgan City, Indiana and Ohio
VIII leave here on Tuesday, and that
the Newport and Valencia will sail on
Wednesday and overtake the other
ships before they reach Honolulu.
The City of Puebla is the only yes
sci in port so far chartered for the
fourth fleet. She is being fitted up in
q leisurely manner. The Peru, which
arrived yesterday from China, was in
spected today and there is no doubt
that she will be taken by the govern
ment The Alameda is due next We'd
nesday from Australia, and the City of
Panama, from Central America, is
timed 10 arrive the same day, while the
Acapulso will reach here from Panama
and way ports on Thursday. 1t is ex-
pected that all these vessels will be
taken by the government for transport
purposes.
More recruits arrived today. Over
100 came in from Colorado, 20 from Ore
gon, IA from Nebraska and IS from
Washington in charge of Corporal Ross.
Fully 500 are expected on Monday. The
Red Cross supplied the men with
breakfast of coffee, sandwiches, cake,
etc.
Brigadier General Macarthur has
formally assumed command of the
third expedition.
With the departure of this expedi-
ton there will have been sent from San
Francisco nearly $1,000 troops. leaving
about 5000 to go.
