Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture.
1t viii pay to feed some grain to the
cows on pasture unless conditions are
exceptional The amount fed in the
winter should be cut in half in the
summer, except in the dryest months,

dairymen IN the country are doing
this. though they are not getting their
money back for it in the summer time

have received. 1t is simply one way

Corn Too carbonaeeous Food.

Corn 90 Carponaceous Food.
Corn is by no means a balanced
ration, though it is considered by
many men the best single stock food
known. This opinion is erroneous.
The nearer grain comes to be-
ing balanced the more nearly is it
a perfect food. Corn contains a very
large amount of carbonaceous matter
and a small amount OF protein. Corn
to be used to the best OF advar enge

TESTIMONY IN MACHEN
CASE BY TWO EX-OFFICIALS
Witnesses Said They Considered
Defendant a Man of Ability
and Trusted Him.
RELIED ON HIS ADVICE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-when the trial
OF August W. Machen and others in the
postoffice cases was resumed to-day the
cross-examination of former Assistant
Postmaster General Johnson was begun.
Replying to questions by Mr.. Douglass. of
counsel for the defense, witness said that in
building up the free delivery service
Machen devoted himself to the work. con-
sulting Postmaster General Smith and the
first assistant postmaster general (the wit
ness.) He said ii was necessary to estab-
lish new customs and new methods. Wit
ness said he regarded Machen as a man
of good executive ability. With reference
to the initials "A w M on letters he
supposed they were made by Machen and
would have held Machen responsible wheth-
er he initiated letters himself or whether
some one in Machen's office had made the
initials Machen did not have the right to
rely on his clerks to the extent that witness
might rely on a clerk in his office, as
Machen was responsible to him. When
shown letters by Mr.. Douglass and asked
to identify signatures, he said he had no
reason to believe other than that they were
signed by Machen. If the signature was
made by others, Machen should have ad-
Vlsed him of the fact.
When did you first see one of the Croft
fasteners?' asked by Mr.. Maddox,
counsel for the Croft brothers.
"A few days ago." replied witness. He
knew what the fasteners were. he said, the
various details connected with the Office
having been explained TO him when he took
charge of the office.
When he first took charge of the office he
was obliged to rely upon chiefs of bureaus
TO a great extent for information on many
subjects
1.-The patented articles" added the wit
ness, usually were placed under that ext
gency clause"
Former First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Frank II. Jones, who served from 1896
TO 1897, testified that he gave an order dur
ing his term of office for Croft fasteners. He
said If orders were given for articles to be
used in Machen's division it was upon
and Witness own judgment.
Papers were identified by witness showing
that an order for test of the Croft fasten-
ers was given in 1898 and another order au-
thOriZing payment for a number of fasten-
ers TO be used in Washington was made in
1895. On crOss-examination Mr.. Douglass
sought to show that after adopting the de-
vice and fixing a price therefor the ordering
and installation Of the fasteners was mat
ter of routine.
The witness said that, although the fas-
held ii to be his right, If the question arose
as to supplying another city with them, to
make a change in the device If in his judg-
ment ii was hest to do So He said Machen
was very useful to him and he regarded him
man of good Judgment, placing great
confidence in him. Court adjourned until
Monday.

ATTENTION GIVEN TO
BREEDING OF HORSES
Secretary Wilson Tells Congress
sional Committee of the Work
of His Department.
YANKEE PIGS IN IRELAND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Although the
United States is deficient in creating new
breeds of animals, according to Secretary
Wilson. who outlined the policy of the
Department of Agriculture to the House
committe on agriculture to-day, Sir Thomas
Upton buys horses and pigs at Chicago.
The horses, said the secretary. he ships to
Ireland and trains them as jumpers, then
sells them in Great Britain to "ten-stone
Englishmen" as Irish jumpers. The pigs,
of which he selects the thin ones. he cans
as Irish bacon" which he also sells in
England.
Secretary Wilson believes that the United
States can furnish the mounts for the
cavalry of Europe with proper study Of the
breeding of horses, and the department is
turning its attention to this subject at the
present time. The only thing the United
States has ever produced in the way of
new breeds, he says. is, perhaps, a few
breeds of hens, although we have converted
running horse into trotter
Many other statements of unusual inter-
est were made to the committee by the
secretary. In discussing the problem of
irrigation, he said, the experts of his de-
partment were studying the problem or
how to handle the soil so as to conserve
the water already available. In this con-
nectlon ne mentioned the sugar beet crop,
which he said was steadily increasing, de-
spite the dire prediction made at the time
or the passage of the Cuban bill.
We cannot now raise more than seven
and half tons of sugar beets to the acre, "
ne said. But with a conservation of the
water in the soil by cultivation we can
increase this amount, and when we pro-
duce nfteen tons TO the acre we can repeal
all OF the sugar tariff laws with impunity."
The forests of the country the secretary
declared to be disappearing at an alarming
rate. He asked for an increase of 100000 in
the appropriation for the Bureau of For
estry, declaring this to be the time to inau-
gurate new methods in forestry.
Touching on the statistical work of his de-
partment, the secretary refuted vigorously
the idea that there was could be leak
regarding crop representations. He told
the committee that he had invited the New
York Cotton Exchange to send a man to
him and he would appoint him on the staff
OF the bureau, so that he might learn the
methods employed. The man was sent, but
the secretary declared him to be incapable
OF grasping the system. Mr.. Wilson invited
the committee to visit the bureau, telling
the members that he would lock them in
the room with the statistician when the re-
suits were being tabulated, so they might
observe the whole process.
The object of the bureau was to furnish
the producer reliable information regarding
the state of the crops of the country. This
had been done in the past to a remarkable
degree of accuracy, and he believed the sta
tistics Of this year would prove nearly as
correct

FOREIGN DECORATIONS.
Big Assortment for Americans
Held by Secretary Hay.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-John Hay, secre-
tary of state, is in possession of a miscel-
laneous assortment of medals, swords,
badges and other decorations which the
various governments of Europe desire to
present to federal officers of the United
States. Under the Constitution no federal
officeholder is permitted to accept a decora-
ton or present from foreign government
save by the passage of a special act of
Congress granting such authority. When
ever foreign potentate desires to honor an
American official by bestowing upon him
a decoration of some kind, he tenders the
same to the secretary of state with a re-
quest that Ii be delivered TO the favored
person. The secretary keeps charge of the
sword, snuff box, ribbon or other trinket
until Congress passes an act authorizing
the official TO receive the token. There are
at present about forty applicants for per-
mission to accept presents from foreign
rulers Some of these officials have had
their appeals refused by Congress, and are
now up for the second time

POSTAL DEFICIT WILL
BE UNDER ESTIMATES
Revenues of Department Increas-
ing at Gratifying Rate-Re-
port for Quarter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Auditor Castle
for the Postoffice Department to-day sent
to the postmaster general and the secretary
of the treasury the trial balance Of financial
transactions of the postal service for the
quarter ending Sept. 30, 1903, showing an in
crease in the deficiency of % per cent. for
the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
The quarters business was:
Expenditures, $37, 243 500; gross receipts
1872, sol 400; deficiency, A,742040. The ex-
penditures increased SO, ,179; receipts, ST.
265.976, and deficiency increased SS7S, 20S. com
pared with the corresponding quarter for
1902. On the basis of the increase in def
cheney the deficit for the entire fiscal year
would be S5,2O5, 600, which is more than 49,
100000 less than the estimate of the post
master general made two years ago. 1.-The
explanation of this" the auditor says
probably is that while the expenditures
have enormously increased, owing to the
extensions of rural free delivery, etc, the
postal revenues have increased in a still
more gratifying and an entirely unexpected
ratio"

COLOMBIAN LEGATION
WILL SOON BE CLOSED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Dr. Thomas
Herran, charge d'affaires of the Colombian
legation has decided to avail himself of the
leave of absence granted him and will de-
part from the United States some time next
month. Already the legation archives have
been packed and stored. On Dr. Herran's
leaving the legation in this city will be
closed and its affairs turned over to the
Colombian consul general In New York.
In speaking of his determination to re-
turn to Colombia, DR.. Herran said tonight
that so far as he could see his usefulness
at this capital was at end. The various
matters which have arisen In consequence
OF Panama's secession were, by virtue OF
the appointment of General Reyes spe-
cial envoy, taken out of the hands of Dr.
Herran, leaving him little or nothing to do.
Besides, DR.. Herran states that the need
of rest and a trip to Colombia to attend
to some personal affairs add to the factors
which influence him to take his leave OF
absence at an early day.
Up to Jan. IA the government at Bogota
had not learned of General Reyes's de-
parture from Washington, cablegram IN
der that date to DR.. Herran having reached
here tonight making inquiries as to General
Reyes's whereabouts, and also concerning
the latest developments.
