The Old Age Of cold Ironsides."

From Boston comes the pathetic tidings
that the famous old frigato Constitution,
more generally and afrcctionatcly known
as "Old Ironsides." Is practically in a
sinking condition, and may be destroyed
BY official order. Frequent use Of the
torlc vessel to keep anoat, and repairing
is dinlcult because It is feared that the
ship has hardly sufficient strength to go
into dry dock. II may be that the work
OF renovation has already been delayed
too long. Some years ago Congress pass
ed bill authorizing the full restoration
OF the frgate, provided that the neces-
sary .money should be supplied from
private sources; but tho funds. we be-
lcye. were not Forthcoming, and the
work was never done.
Whatever It Is now possible to do to
extend the life OF the Constitution, the
nation, we believe, is anxious to have
done. II IT Is merely question OF money,
Congress should by all means take steps
to provide for II, The history OF this good
ship, and the place which she holds In
the esteem and affections OF this country

Stating the aoove results In other terms and using the averages given above, bushel of corn fed to calves in winter produces s.Ss pounds gain: calves In summer. s:sI pounds; yearlings in summer. 1.e pounds; 2-year-olds in summer e's pounds. ~
 Ninety-two per cent of our corres- pondents allow the steers all the roughage they will eat during the fat tening period. Only 8 per cent limit the amount of roughage.
 Forty-one per cent of those who re- ply make a practice of varying the kind of roughage. in order to make the steers eat a larger amount.
 The wide difference in these various replies can be attributed mainly to two causes: the difference in the quality of the calves fed and the difference in the methods of feeding. As indicated in the answers, many of the feeders force the rations on the calves. inducing them to eat more than they can prop eriy assimilate. This Is as injudicious feeding as constantly overcrowding n child's stomach. They should have all they will eat up clean, and not suffi- cient to throw them off their feed. If any 'stufflng" is to be done. let it be only a week or ten days before they are driven into the sale ring or on the scales.-Southern Agriculturist.
