without qualification that the Republic

Mckinley and Root. That the Presi-
dent will be renominated there has
been no doubt for long time. AS to

That Mr.. Root Is willing 20 go on
the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley there is
not the slightest doubt. IL may be
said that even the Secretary is am
bilious to procure the vice presidential
nomination: In fact, 1t is known that

place than almost any other New York
man who has been mentioned in this
connection. IL is believed that he
would be acceptable to Senator Plat,
who by the way. was largely irstrumen
tai In having him appointed Secretary
Ayers successor in the cabinet. When
Mr.. Platt was asked tonight whom he
favored for the Vice Presidential
nomination. he said;
ANY good New York man would
suit me-"
How about Mr.. Root"
MIR. Root would be satisfactory"
was Mr.. Platt's reply. Mckinley will
be nominated by acciamation.'
As to the matter of nominating the
entire ticket by reclamation, there is
reason 20 Believe that the next Re-
publican national convention will es-
tablish such a precedent Senator
Hanna has conceived the idea ard it is
remarkable how favorable IL is being
received. The Senator has confided
his proposition to few friends and
they sfe enthusiastic over it. Mr..
Hanna believes that inasmuch as Mr..
Mckinley will be renominated in that
manner, his running mate should be
accorded the same distinction.

Nerves and Food.

1t is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One
inclined to go to fat makes an ex-
cellent beef COW, but relatively poor
mixer. AS the nervous COW is apt to
be smaller in proportion than large,
fat, beef-making COW, the idea gains
some Roadway that she requires less
food. Indeed, there is tendency in
some quarters to reason that a COW
needs food in proportion to her size;
that is, a large COW requires more
than small one. This is an error
OF a most pronounced order. It is
nervous energy that absorbs and uses
up food, and it requires more to feed
such nature than it does one Of a
phlegmatic disposition. If ANYTHING
the opposite to what is true in general
practice should be observed. More
rich and highly concentrated food
should be given to the small mixer
than to the large beef maker. The
good mixer, if her digestion is good,
can change more of her food into milk
than another animal can convert into
beef OR fat. A good deal of this food
that is given to the mixer is con-
vsrted directly into milk, and is thus
more profitable than when fed to the
beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism
is more easily deranged than that of
the heavy beef-making animals. A
pillow horse can stand more abuse than
the hlgh-strung race horse. Many
dalrymen do not appreciate this thor
oughly, either in their feeding or
caring for good milch COWS. As the
whole value of the animals poducts
depends very closely upon the condi-
ton of her digestion, a study should
be made constantly of the COWS
health. In normal condition she
can take great amount of food and
convert it directly into milk. This
food should be given with the best
possible caution, SO that it will not in
]ure the health of the animal. Give
all to the COW that she will eat M
clean is good rule to go by, but If
her appetite declines there is some
thing wrong with her digestion that
needs instant attention. Very fire.
qnently this cause is SO simple that
one overlooks it. In q nervous COW

running in the field, or anything that
Will upset the nerves, may cause the
now OF milk to stop temporarily, and
upset the digestion SO that the full
quantity of milk will not be given for
weeks. 1t is to guard against such
slight accidents that the dairymsn
must exercise his supervision and
authority. His cows ale high strung
milking machines that will easily give
out under abuse or misuse.-O. II.

Eeediny of Lime tn Eaula

1t is general supposition that lime
must be given fowls in the shape of
ground or cracked shells, mortar, etc. =,
but close examination will show
that lime exists in all food, and in
sufficient quantities to supply the ne
cessities of the birds. Oyster shells,
or old lime. consist of carbonate of
lime, which is insoluble in water,
The birds can derive no benefit from
it until it is dissolved. Whether lime
Or oyster shells is chemically changed
in the gizzard OF digestive organs
from carbonate to amuriate, or some
other form, is difficult to state, but
the lime probably undergoes NO such
change. It is, of course, mechani-
caily reduced to very fine condition
by the gizzard, and is passed into the
lntestines, but that it enters into the
circulation, or is directed to the for
nation of the egg shell. is matter OF
doubt on the part Of some. Ground
shells assist the gizzard to reduce the
food. II pounded or broken shells
are placed before the hens they will
select the sharpest OR toughest pieces
to be found and care but little for
those that arc finer. which is evidence
that they swallow the shells for the
purpose of grinding the food. The
lime In the food exists in many forms,
and If the ashes of the foods be exam
ined lime will be found in excess, thus
demonstrating that the shells come
from the food rather than from the
lime taken in the crop in the shape CT
oyster shells or mortar. In taking
this position we may be in error, but
as hens lay we'll where there is no
lime obtained except through the food
consumed, while others lay soft
shelled eggs though freely supplied
with lime, 1t leaves room for relec-
ton. Farm, Field and Fireside.
