1t was an American Minister in China, sue
ceeding Mr.. Burlngame, who held that equal


treaty relations could not be sustained by the
United States with pagan nation. He
argued, we believe, that no trustworthy basis
of intercourse could be established between
our Republic and the Empire of China so long
as the latter did not have a Christian morality
wrought into its whole foreign and domestic
policy, coloring all its formal acts and rea-
tions. This was paying higher compliment
to our own Government than it deserves,
perhaps; certainly it was establishing harsh
rule in the regulation of diplomatic inter
course with China and Japan. 1t is easy to
see that such theory as the one suggested
must lead to the adoption of "gunboat
"policyn with these nations instead of the
peaceful and eficacious cooperation which was
so admirably sustained in China by the late
British and American Ministers-Sir Frederick
Bruce and Mr.. Burlingame. To hold pistol
at the head of the terrified Oriental and tell
him that he must have railroads, steamboats,,
and foreign trade, would be to treat him as
pagan who did not possibly understand
Christian civilization, but it would not
commend that kind of civilization to
the heather. We tried that style of mission
ary labor in the Corea, where Secretary Fish's
representative attempted to force the New
Testament and California breadstuffs upon
the astonished natives by the mild persuasives
of Paixhans and howitzers. To treat the
pagan party to our contracts as il he were
honest and really meant to keep his word, is
more Christian-like; in the case of Japan it
has been more successful. The mortar boats
and rude bombshells failed to accomplish any
thing in the Corea. An honest straighttor-
ward policy in japan has given tho United

lected his diplomatic corps with admirable fit

that his administration is a success, and has
survived dangers which would have stranded
a government relying upon the support Oh

that the price demanded by the tunnel con-

let the present favorable opportunity pass OF

corn to my hogs through the month {?
On the first of November he again asks
the question. The question reCurs in
December


Now the knowledge he wants is this /:
Given the mean temperature of October
in Ohio at the place where he lives,
what number of pounds of corn will
make hundred pounds of pork? Given
the mean temperatures of November
and December, what number of pounds
of corn will make an hundred pounds
of pork or to put the question in more
abstract form, what is the relation Of
temperature to the consumption of corn
for the production of pork?


While it is known that temperature
does exercise an infuence-while it is
known that an hundred pounds Of corn
will produce more pork in the month Of
October than in December-yet it is
not known in practice or reference to
Ohio or any other particular locality in
this country, exactly or nearly apprOXi-
mately what the difference is, and of
consequence one will feed at a loss while
another feeds at gain, and neither is
much wiser by his experience, nor are
their neighbors.


Again, a farmer has corn and hogs,
and is 50 situated that, by reason Of the
charges of transportation, pork is his
only eXportable product He asks,
however, will it pay for me to build pig
pens to feed my hogs in or in other
words he asks what is the influence of
exposure to the weather in the cOnsump-
tiOn of food or in more abstract form
what is the difference in the abstraction
of animal heat between a still body Of
air and u body of air moving with a
given 'elocity. Or still in other words
how much more corn must hog weigh
inc 100 pounds eat to maintain his con,
dtion in still atmosphere or in a wind
Of say 20 miles an hour, at a tempera-
tme, say, of 80 degrees.


Again a hog grower in Massachusetts
says: VIII 1t pay me to have my corn
ground, and cooked. Grinding and
cooking are determinable costs, but will
the increased production OF pork pay !;
In other words he asks, how many less
pounds OF ground and cooked than OF
uncoohed ana ungrouhd corn VIII II take
70 MAKE an hunareo POUNDS OF pork :;
Or III more abstract terms no" much OF
unground corn passes undlgested IN tat
tening hogs how much OF ground corn;
how much OF uncookedj how much
Of cooked or in still more abstract
form, what is the influence Of boiling
and communion on the facility OF solu-
ton in the gastric and intestinal juices.


These are few of the questions
which the pork producer asks. They
are the SIMPLEST and most pressing.

Hon. ROBERT b. ROOSEVELT New York City


DEAR SIR see you have an epidemic among the
horses in New York city, and have taken the lib
erty OF addressing You few lines on the subject.
During the Fail Of 1868 was on the frontier Of
Texas and, as far as can learn, the same disease
prevailed there to some extent; but was checked
before II had done any harm. The horse was
taken with. q slight cold and running at
the nose, and in very few hours got
feyerish and finally was nearly Frustrated.
His eyes would grow dim and matter protrude
from the corners The method they took In curing
them was the following put the horse In a
close stable blanket him well from his ears to his
rump rub his throat well with tincture OF arnica
and vinegar; then give him fifteen to twenty
drops Of the tlncture OF arnca In little Jamaica
rum internally. Feed him light on bran and
ground oats mixed up with lime water and little
sulphur, no salt When you give him drink, give
it to him three times q day and color the water
with lime. Scatter plenty OF disiniectants in and
around the stable. Ihave known the above treat
ment to cure In every instance. think IL would
be well for some one to try the above remedy, and


have no doubt but what It will cure the worst

the fact is, that this is the only election since

from making proper use of the elective fran
ehise hereafter, for we have strong hopes
that our only hope is in the ballot.

AUGUST 27, a Mexican desperado who had formerly been in the employ of Colonel Woolsey, went to the lat ter's ranch with the avowed purpose of killing him. On the way, as we get the report, the desperate fell in with Mexican boy reared by Colonel Woolsey, to whom he declared his purpose. The boy replied that Colonel Woolsey had reared and helped him, and that the desperado would have to kill him (the boy) before he could his recognized parent. After more was said, the desperado did shoot and kill the boy. He was afterwards cap tured by Mexicans in Colonel Wool sey's employ, who were determined to kill him at once, but were induced to keep him under guard over night. Colonel Woolsey told them that the prisoner was their own countryman that he had murdered one of their people, and advised them not to act hastily. He was guarded until the next day, August 2S, and shot dead and buried by the boys grave. These are the main points, as related to us by disinterested man who had means of knowing the facts.
