Tt was stated in Bulletin No. 64, the Station sent out to farmers in all sec tions of the State blank forms to be rilled out, giving the amount of rations fed to the various farm animals per day. It was hoped, in this way, to ob tain some insight into the question r.s to whether, as a rule, our farmers were under-feeding or over-feeding. The effort was disappointing, in that, by reason of the small percentage of an swers received, and the ineagreness and insufficiency we were not supplied with sufficient data to arrive at tiny very reliable conclusion on the subject. It is dangerous to generalize from -too small data. However, we shall pro ceed to nve what information was de rived in this way, and while cautioning against placing too much significance in the results of such meagre returns, will say that we do not . onsidcr f hem entirely without valuable teachings. The first tiling, then, that we are struck with in glancing over the re turns is how pie-eminently Indian corn is the tedder of the .North Carolina farup-r. In thevast majority of the rations corn fodder (more properly corn stover see Bulletia 61, p. 1(3) is the frame-work of the ration, and corn ( tne grain ns tne albuminoid rurnisiicr. The ration is made up of so much corn fodder, or the same amount of hay, or of the same amount of a mixture of the two. Most of the hay bought ant used by the North Carolina farmer is probably timothy. Many cut their own mixed meadow hay. By reference to Table II, Bulletin 04, it will be ob served that while there is a difference in the analyses of corn stover, timothy hay, and mixed meadow hay, the differ ence is not considerable. Look in the digestible nutrients (or, as this pre sents it more in a utitsuell, looking a the nutritive ratios of the three), i will be observed that corn stover is the weaker of the three; but as the ordi nary corn fodder of our North Caro lina farmer is probably a fraction bet ter food-stuff than the corn stover here given, due to the absence generally o the stalk which is included in t ic fstovcr, there is no very material differ ence in the three. In view of this fact, therefore, and especially as they arc in practice given interchangeably its evidenced in the various rations re ported in the return8, we will conside them as cqaul, weight for weight, in i i comDarin: and averaerinr tne various returns. Next to corn comes oats as the grain fodder. Ia the great majority of the returns, corn and oats are given inter changeably, seeming to be generally regarded as equal, pound for pound. One or two instances were noticed where, in replacing corn with oats in the same ration, more oats were used than corn. By referring to the table alluded to above, it will be seen that while corn is a trifle richer in digestible albuminoids than oats (8.08 per cent, for com and 8:46 percent for oats), this this difference is not material, and two grains may be regarded as practically equal in their albuminoid-furnishing power. In the analysis, corn shows considerably more tligestible carbohy drate equivalence (see Bullentin 64) than oats, and their nutritive ratios are, respectively, 1:8.9 and 1:6.6. To day a pound of oats is worth a frac tion more than a pound of corn, but values vary according to supply and demand, and both by analysis and by experience it is quite right for practi cal purposes to consider them as equal fodders, pound for pound, and to use them interchangeably in a ration. They are also considered in comparing and averaging the various rations fur nished in the returns. The plan adopted, then, is this: The grain part of the ration is in each case brought to a corn basis, and the frame work of the ration is in each case brought to a hay or a corf-fodder ba sis, the latter two hving taken a equal. 0.;ts aiv, for the re;uJiis given above. converted into corn, weight for weight. toe percentage or oiner-grains given in the returns is so smsfll ?that thev have v,een omitted. Where clover hay or orchard grass were given in a ration they have been converted into hay or corn fodder by increasing the weights in proportion, approximately to the relati-ve value of the two fodders, as shown by analysis. So, also, it being a poorer fodder, has been converted into hay by reducing the weight in the same wav. By this means all the rations urnished by the returns have been converted to a basis of corn grain) with hay or with corn fodder, and hereby we are better enabled to com- are them, and to average them. As so many of the rations were already given in corn and hay or fodder, the n umber of such conversions were few. The returns were fn'lert as to horses of light, ordinary and heavy work, and mules of ordinary and heavy work. Oxen of ordinary or heavy work, and fattening or at rest, were more scantily reDorted. It is to be especial I v regret ted that the returns could not have nore complete as to milk cows, though they were better reported thau oxen. The return for sheep and hogs trere so small that no comparison or average of these will be attempted. Before giving the review of the re urns it may prove convenient to pre sent, in tabular form, the comparison letwcen the weights and measures of different-grains: bushel of corn weijjhs 5G pounds. 1 gallon ol corn weighs 1 1 gallons of corn weighs 10$ 1 1 1 quart ot corn weighs 1J bushel of oats weighs 32 it 1 gallon of oats weighs 4 quart of oats weighs 1 pound. bushel of corn meal weighs 50 pounds. gallon of corn meal weighs 61 44 1 bushel of wheat weighs GO pounds. 1 bushel of rye weighs 56 pounds. bushel of barley w eighs 48 pounds.

It would seem to indicate eilher than it is rare to allow an oxen to rest, or that, when one is so permit ted to eniov such a state or innocu ous desuetude " he is not considered worthy of any ration at all. The few that were reported showed about 6 lbs. corn and 12 lbs. fodder or hay Ordinary work, daily ration: highest, 12 lbs. corn and 25 lbs fodder or hay; lowest, Oj lbs. corn and 5 lbs. hay Average daily ration, y l-o lbs corn and 13i lbs fodder or hay.

Fattening, daily ration: highest, 21 lbs. corn and 15 lbs. fodder or hay; lowest, 12 lbs. corn and 12 lbs. fodder or hay. Average daily ration, 17 lbs. corn and Yl lbs. fodder or hay. Milk Cows Daily ration: highest 20 lbs. corn and 20 lbs. fodder or hay; lowest, 6 lbs. ecru and 6 lbs. fodder or hav, and 4 lbs. corn and 16 lbs. fodder or hay. Average daily ration: 12 lbs. corn and 2 lbs. fodder or hay. The returns as to sheep and hogs were too maegre for use. Hogs, for fattening, seem to receive an average daily ration of a fraction over 12 lb. corn, the minimum report being 6 lbs. and the maximum 40! Now, when we endeavor to make a ration on scientific principles, with only corn and corn fodder, or, say, only corii and hay, we are immediately con fronted with a very important fact, namely: that in making a ration with these two fodders alone, there is a great waste of carbohydrate equivalence. The returns show how very common almost universal a practice it is with "farmers to feed a ration contain ing only these two fodders. It is a very bad economy, and there is un doubtedly great waste. The lesson is, that he should always have on hand, to go in his ration, some fodder that has a lurge percentage of albuminoids as compared with its carbohydrate equiv alence, so that with it he can increase the percentage of albuminoids in his ratio n without increasing ins carrxmy- e equivalence ia such tin alunning- ui ... ly wasteful manner. The percentage of albuminoids as compared with the percentage of carbohydrates (the nu tritive ratio, in other words,) in both corn and hay (or stover), is eutirely too small for these two fodders to ever lie used alone in compounding a ration. To illustrate: Suppose we try to com pound a ration for an average horse (1,000 lbs. weight) of light work, using com and timothy hay alone. -Table I, Bulletin 64, shows that such a horse requires 1.50 lbs. digestible albuminoids and 10.50 lbs. digestible carbohydrate equivalence. Turn next to Table II, and it will be seen that timothy hay contains 3.67 per cent, of albuminoids and 43.83 per cent, of car bohydrate equivalence; and that corn contains 8.58 per cent, of albuminoids and 76.42 per cent, of carbohydrate equivalence. Now. to begin the ration, take, s y 20 lbs of hay; 20 lbs. of hay will furnish 0.74 lbs. of digestible albu minoids (20 lbs x .0367) and 8.77 lbs. of digestible carbohydrate equivalence (20 lbs. x .4383). Now, sufficient corn must be taken to furnish enough albuminoid, iu addition to that fur nished by the hay, to foot up 1.50 lbs., or very near it, 1.50 lbs being as has been shown, the daily need or albumi noids on the part of a horse of 1,000 lbs. weight at light work. Nine lbs. of com will do this, and no less. But at the same time that it does this, it supplies, also, an amount of carbohy drate equivalence which, when added to the carbohydrate equivalence fur nished by the 20 lbs. ot hav in the ra tion, is far in excess of the needs (10.50 lbs.) of the horse. Try as we may, by all sorts of combinations of varying proportions of hay and corn, we cannot avoid this. It is due to the compositions of the fodders themsel ves: their nutritive ratios are too small, and we eannot alter such a result, un- ess we could alter the composition of the fodders themselves. This is, of. course, impossible, bnt it is quite possi ble to effect the same result in another way. That is, by adding, in proper quantities, some other fodder having a high nutritive ratio; or having a large percentage of albuminoids as compared with its percentage of carbohydrate eq 1 1 1 v a l e n ce . 11 e re a re rat i on s i or h orses at light, ordinary and hard work, com pounded by using corn and hay alone: Horse of light work: looo lbs welsrht. per day.

In the third case that of the horse of heavy work it will be observed that the 20 lbs. of corn alone furnished enough carbohydrate equivalence, and therefore the entire carbohydate eqivaleiice of the hay is wasted. Be sides this, the above ration is objec tionable on account of the bulk of food given to supply the proper amount of nutrients. From 20 to 25 pounds of hay is sufficient for a horse's daily ration. More than this is too much bulk, and the horse will most likely refuse it. Now, see how, by calling in the ser vices of a little cotton-seed meal, or other concentrated food, the situation is relieved. It is not proposed here to enter into a discussion ot the advisa bility of feeding cotton-seed meal to a horse. We use it in making this ra tion to illustrate the principle sought be elucidated, namely, the uecessity of incorporating some concentrated fod der in the ration having n hifch en tent of albuminoids, with a compara tively low content of carbohydrate equivalence. We invite the opinions of farmers based on their experience, as to the use of cotton-seed meal, in con nection with corn and hay or corn fod der, lor horses. No objection to it is apparent theoretically. Turn to the analysis of cotton-seed meal. Take ra tion': above (horse of heavy work), for it needs bettering more than either of the others, change the proportions somewhat, bring in some cotton seed meal, and the following ration is formed: Albumin. 21 lbs hay furnishes o.77 lbs 5 lbs corn furnishes o. lbs. 4,yiUheolton seed meal furnishes 1.61 lbs. 2.1 lbs. Carb.eq. 9.8o lbs. ?.! lb. t.M lbs. i vs: l s. 15.40 ibS. Requires, 2. so lbs. Now, what is the money value of this waste of carbohydrate equivalence, provided the ration can be fed? Com is worth,- in the Raleigh mar ket to-day (September), about 60 cents per bushel, oats 37 cents, cotton seed meal $21 per ton, and timothy hay $17 per ton. Or, all iu tons and pound s: Corn, t on, OalS, ton. CGiuu--cd meal, ton, TL-iotiiy 1 or, t.-n. Take the first d lily of heavy work, usiii only: $21.4o; poundrS0.Glo7 23.oo: ixiunJ.

Six- ty per cent, of the cost of the first ra tion is saved hv using the second! Is not the lesson very clear? Do not the fanners see that if they use a greater variety of fodders iu their ra tions, instead of corn and hav only, or com and fodder only, as is the practice now, that a great waste of food mate rial will lx? avoided? If they can be brought to see this, the aim of this ar ticle, and those to follow, will not be in vain. In the same way that those dispro portionate rations above given for horses of light, ordinary and heavy work were formed, using only com and hay or fodder, any one who desires to compare them with the rations actual ly giveu in the returns, can form thera for mules, oxen, cows, &c. But not much is to be learned from the ucom parison of such rations. The great lesson sought to he emphasized is, that we must look to a greater diversity for food-stuffs in our barns, and wean our selves from the old-time habit of feed ing a ration of only corn and hay or fodder. In this view of the matter, and as long as this practice continues, the fanners of North Carolina may surely be said to be over-feeding. As far as can be judged by the returns, looking at the actual rations fed (corn and hay only), it would seern that while the corn ration is about adequate in :dl cases, the amount of hay in the ration is uniformly low. fin practice it will be found that the horse will hardly eat such a large ration. The figures above are given for sake of illustration in reaching the required quantity of albuminoids. To the People of North Carolina. Unsolicited and unexpected on my part, I have been elected by the exec utive committee of the "Confederate Veterans' Association" of North Car olina an agent to make a canvass of the State in behalf of a "Soldiers' Home." Now, I am aware that I have under taken a big job. I want your endorsement; I want your sympathy; I want a small amount of your means. 1 hope no one will say it is not convenient for me to give now." If we are not .villiug to make some sacrifice, if not willing to sacrifice some luxury for this cause, but must wait until it is convenient to give the aid, then let the cry at once be made in North Carolina, "To your tents Oh This call is a broad one; it is not bound by religious or political lines but appeals to the humane of every sect of political party. "We do not despise the day of small things." Small sums will be appreciated. "There. is that scattereth and yet in creaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but tendeth to pov erty. Let the home have one-half of what you intended for your Christ mas. It has been reported to the commit tee that there are at least 28 ex-Con federate soldiers now in the county poor houses in North Carolina, and they have not received reports from all the counties. These things ought not to be. Might not these 28 and others say 44 we are here in obedience to the call of North Carolina" made in 1861 and 1865. May it not be true that these 28 were in the charge on many battle fields in those days that tried men's souls? May it not be true that some at least of the 28 were seen bv us in those dreadful c a-ges made at Gettysburg in July, 1S03 Will North Carolina let them suffer fur scant necessary comforts as their sun is going down the Western hiil of 1 fe? I think not. Now I appeal to every man of soul m Aorth Carolina to Help us in some way. Especially do I appeal to the ladies of North Carolina for help. If you can't give money give kind words and show iu other ways, your interest for the cause. In order to make the convass with as little expense as possible, all reduc tion in fare at hotels, boarding houses or iu transportation from one town to another will be very greatly appre ciated. The plan is broader than for tin mere establishment of a Soldiers Home when circumstances admit of its beinir fullv carried out. The agent T will make full explanation when he conies If the measures proposed differ from what any wish, let us agree to work the plan that is now adopted, and after we get the money and bona fide subscrip tions, then all the necessary improve ments can be added thereto. 1 lie tool diers' Home is under the charge of the executive committee of the Confederate Veterans' Association, incorporated by u cmbly, etc. M.

Where the cirm paign of education lias so enlightened people that it is positively dangerous to tread the Republican ground of a year ago, the President favors Demo cratic ideas.

Philadelphia Record. The President, in his Message ! Congress, halts and hesitates. Hedoes not take the country into his confi dence in regard to matters of real mo ment. He skirts around the ragged edge of dangerous topics and hides himself in a wilderness of detail. The recital of the condition of our relations with other countries is accompanied with no definite recommendations of importance, and brings no disclosures that have not been anticipated in the record of current events. As an indi cation of any definite policy "of public administration the Message lacks strength. It is only notable for tim idity. The Presidents is disposed to feel his way,-rather than to make his way. a low tariff view. Chicago Herald. Free whisky and tobacco are to. be given the people in lieu of free blank ets, free lumber, free coal, free tools, free carpets, free glass and free house hold furniture. Ibis is in redeaipfci&u of the pledge by the Mill Owners' Con vention of lSS, which nominated Harrison, and whose shameful enun ciation of this immoral policy iven yet ignored by many Republicans; who may read as they run, but who, never- heless, will not believe.

President Harrison's first annual Message is as flat and colorless as his Administration and his own political character. High Protection and sub- idies. Get rich by taking money from one pocket and putting it into another, is the substance of President Harrison's financial statesmanship. NEITHER BRILLIANT NOR ABLE. Utica Pre??. The Message, as a whole, is very i i ii i commonplace, it is not anie, and cer- tainly is not brilliant. 1 here. are in it no new or startling suggestions. What it discusses has been discussed before, and what it recommends has been ad- yocated before. Springfield Scpublican. There are no outcropping of a Blaine or brilliant foreign policy in Mr. Harrison's long review of the statu of the country. No reader with a memory can escape the sharp impres sion that lots of good citizens permit ted themselves to be humbugged hut fall without sufficient cause. CONSIGNED TO HAYES SIIELP, Hartford Telegram-Record, In itself, the Message is in no way remarkable, save for its length, dullness and reiteration of the most radical ptrty doctrines. The President will rest as comforta bly as his party will permit during the remainder of his term beneath the shade of "grandfather's hat," and at" its close will be relegated to the shelf of mediocrity, where now reposes the rural-minded Hayes. The Hebrew Journal says: "Such a thing as a 'Jewish vote has never pre sented itself in our government. Out side of the synagogue we are citizens of the United Staies. The Jew has always been remarkable for his loyalty, because he so completely adapts hi in self to the country in. which he livei." This is perfectly true and should b a source of pride to all the people of that race. It would be well for this coun try if other citizens would follow the example of the Jew in this respect, i aa i i ; .
