FEEDING VALUE OF HAY.
Changes Result in More Milk From
the Cows.

We have been through our usual eX-
perience with hay again this spring,
SAYS a writer in the Rural New
Yorker. A gain has resulted in milk
production from an even 14O quarts d
day 10 1865 quarts, just by a change IN
the hay fed the COWS. A friend called
The other day and said he h two
COWS in the village that had been Ill
milk for some time, and were living
an average Of 80 pounds a day. He
changed the hay and they dropped al
most to 16 pounds. That is a larger
drop than | ever noted from changing
hay, but these experiences with hay
are so frequent that we know to a.
practical certainty what to expect from
COWS. There is no grain ration that
can make up for poor hay, or even
medium hay, as compared with first
quality for COWS. This time our own
change was from hay that got wet and
hurt a little to hay that was harverted
under the best conditions.
Possibly. too, the poorer hay may
have been a little coarser. Coarse

Denver, July s.-After a session of most of last night the working sub committee of the committee on res OlutiOns resumed it's sittings at an early hour today, but at pm. took a recess until 9 o'clock. It was re- ported that the members of the com mittee had received intimation that they would be needed in the con- vention hall.
 It had been the expectation of the sub b-committee that it would be pre- pared to report to the full committee a o'clock this afternoon but when, that hour arrived the work of the subcommittee was still so incom- plete that it was necessary for the full committee to take an adjourn ment until 10 pm. with the pros pect that upon meeting at that hour, 1t would be necessary again to so- Journ until tomorrow morning
 The subcommittee spent the first half of the day discussing the sug- gestions made by Bryan and others relative to the blanks of the plat form, but shortly after noon de- cided, in order to make progress, that it would be necessity to sub divide the work and consequently subcommittee of the subcommittee were appointed on various subjects,

 RESULTLESS
It Ended in a Prolonged Bryan Demonstration
Then Darkness was Await ed for the Political As sassinatiOn of Guffey.

Denver, July S.-Temporary Chair man Bell called the second session of the democratic national conven- ton to order at 12:16 o'clock and asked that order be preserved. Rev Dr. Reisner of Denver was introduced to deliver the invocation. For a brief time after the prayer there was an interval while the various march, ing clubs passed through the hall
 New York gave the first indica- tions of standing by and signing with thirteen other states the min ority report of the credentials com mittee in the Guffey contest.
 Chairman Bell recognized Grady of New York. who presented the report of the committee on rules, which was unanimously adopted. Several addresses of tribute to the memory of the late Senator Jones were de- livered. A motion to adjourn was twice put. At the first, Bell was in doubt, and the second time the gal leries voted overwhelmingly in favor of continuing the proceedings and the chair declared the motion was lost.
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma was fin ally summoned to the platform and in the course of his remarks referred to Bryan. A great demonstration was commenced. The band played and several delegations carried ban ners to the platform. At 1:30 o'clock when the cheering had lasted thir- teen minutes, practically every state, except Maryland, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, Delaware and Connecticut had a banner grouped around Gore.
 Later the delegates began to pa rade around the hall. and the dem onstration, which began at 1:26 o'clock, was still in progress at 2:1O o'clock, with every possible device employed to increase it.
 At 2:14 o'clock the Cowboy band left the gallery and joined in the procession. A huge decoration eagle was torn from the posts and borne about. At 2:19 o'clock, after a full

 ocracy with the dominant republican machine in that city"
 THE MINORITY REPORT.
 The minority report of the commit tee on credentials recommended that the delegates from the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth districts of Philadelphia, Pa. districts holding seats in the convention, be declared lawfully entitled to such seats and in support of the recommendation of the minority gave the following reasons:
 First, that there is no evidence adduced by the contestants before the committee to support their claim to said seats.
 Second, the contestants produced no credentials accrediting them in any way to membership in the convention
 Third, they made no protest or ap- peal to any convention of the demo- cratic party in Pennsylvania, or to any tribunal or functionary of said party, or to any court in said state as pro- vided by the primary election law of the state.
 Fourth, the credentials of said con- testees are uneXceptional in every par ticular and abundant proof of their right to seats has been adduced.
 The action of the majority of the committee is a staggering blow to in dependence of the democracy of a sovereign state. The convention can rest upon no other foundation than the supremacy within the state lines of the party organization of every state.
 We therefore recommend that the said contestees retain the seats hereto fore awarded them by the legalized democratic primary and endorsed by the national democratic committee.
 'The report was signed by representa- tives on the committee from the states of Maryland. New Jersey, New York, Louisiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia. Minnesota. Della ware, New Hampshire. Kentucky and West Virginia.
 The first speaker for the minority re- port was Straus, who presented it. He asked for the sustitution of the minor ity for the majority report on the ground that the majority report was an attack upon the indefensible rights of democrats of a sovereign state.
 To conclude the argument in behalf of the minority report, the chair rec ognized John D. Bellamy of North Car olina, one of the signers of the docu- ment. He called out d storm of dis when he asserted that repub-
