In 187 [ ; Pa'no was a candidate for the democratic nomination - tion for governor of Ohio. The con- vontlon met In Columbus , and Thur- man , then fresh from a perIod ot brillIant - lIant servlco on the supreme bench ot his state , had a friend In whoso cand- ! o 'Henry B. Pay"c dncy for StiltO treasurer ho was much I terosted , Some of Payno's lIeuten- onts , without his Imowledgo , promised Thurman the sUI > port at the payne forces for his frlCl1l1i In return for the voteR ho controlled in the convention : but the Thurman cnndldato for treas. ul'Or failed at the last moment to ro- colvo the promised support ot the Payne following , nnd was defeated. Pa'ne was not aware of the trlcl < that had been pla'ed UIJOn Thurman , but the latter , who scorned double dealing In nny form , was qulele to resent It. Within the hour the opportunity to do foil In his wn ' , The convention ended , Pa'ne went to a hotel for dinner , accompanied - companied by some friends , and In jovial mood opened wino In colebrn.- tlon of his success. Presontl ) . Thur- man mid a few friends came In and tool < scats at an adjoining table. Pa'no bade the , miter corry a bottle of wino to the newcomers , but In a moment It came back with the gruff \ Jamcs G. Blaine nt\ssnge that Mr. Thurman did not care for an ) ' o [ Mr. Payne's wing. ItJ ovltlent surprlso at this rOfusal , Payn rose from bls seat nd crossed to th13 group of which Thut'n\an was the cen' tral figure. "I trust you (1111'our friends will Mlnte a bottle of wine with me , jUdg , ' ho S111d , urbanely. "Drlnle to my suc j - cess and the victory at the domocratlc party. " , "I do not want any of YOUt' wine , sir , " was the reply , "I old that damned walter to say as 11Iuch to you , sir , a moment ago , " And so sa'lng , Thurman turned his back abrupt ! ) . > n the man from Cloveland. Payne no\'or forgot nor forgnve this public Insult. The quarrel thus begun ever after Itopt the two men apart , ami three and twent ) ' 'ear8 later thwarted Thurman's highest ambition , In 1880 ho was a candldato for the presidential nomination before the democratic nn- tlonal convention , lIad ho hod the unflinching - flinching support of the Ohio delegation - tion , there Is IIttlo doubt that ho would have been the nominee , The delegation wns solid for him on the first hallot. Then It brotto nnd the chances of his nomination vanished Into thin air. Payne was bohlnd the br9al ( , T ! lelogatcs from the dls. trlct In which bls fllflucnce was sue premo led It and were strongeat in the clnlm which Gtnmpcded the convention to a dark horse. As Ohio was t.hon an 'October state and practlcalIy certain to go for Garfield , the result would be < llsastrous to the democratic cause. That argument defeated Thurman and nominated Hancocl ( , and the revenge of Payne was complete. But the most dramatic ot aU the political feuds ot the last forty years , both In its inception and its sequel , was thnt between Dlalno and Roscoe Conldlng. The two men entered the popular branch ot Congress at about the same time , ami both soon became leaders In that body. There was , however , IIttlo In common between them save the gift oC pre-eminent abll , ity. Conltllng made Dlalno the ob , ject of his snrcasm whenever oppor , tunlt ) ' orfer d , and the member from Maine was T.'ompt to retort In lelnd , Thus the Ijnmlty grew until , in the course of c'o of their many encoun , ters , Dlalno , st , g to the qulclc by an unjust and ungonltvus taunt , burst forth In an pnslaught on his tormentor - or which wrought the House Into a hl/h / pitch ot exeltemenL and 'marltcd the beginning ot a flerco struggle in the Republican party that ended in the humlIlatton of Conldlng and the defeat ot Dlalno for President. Hero are Dlalno's words , and they are a model of excoriation : "As to the gentleman's cruet sar. casm , I hope ho wl11 not bo too se- vere. The contempt of that large , minded gentleman Is so wilting , his haughty disdain , his grandiloquent swell , his majestic , superemlnont , overpow.erlng turltey-gobbler strut has been so crushing to myself and all members ot this House that I know it I was an act of the grcatest temerity' ' . . . , I Allen G.

The resemblance Is great : It Is strlIdng-H 'perlon to a satyr , Thersltes to Hercules , mud to marble , dunghl11 to diamond , a singed cat to a Dongnl tiger , a whipped pUp' py to a ronrlng lion , Shade ot the mighty Davis , forglvo the almost profanation of that jocose satire , " .

However , the great bune ot stocle shlpPod to our loading mar- Itots is not of the above quality.

This class are of high grade , good beet typo and conformation , with ca. pacity for producing the greatest percentage - centago ot hlogh-prlced meat. They are what the buyers term the smooth , : f1es y lot. This class of cattle com- prlso only about 10 per cent of the . bunt.

" The seller has to work to dlsposo at t em , and when ho docs the price Is disappointIng - Ing to the farmer , as , It Is only about one-haIr the price offered for the best class. A portion of this class consists of stock with an infusion or dairy blood. Whllo they mal < c good gains tholr feed goes to the production ot Into mal fat. A greater per cent are common , unlmprovea , InferIor animals In lInlsh as wolI as form. This class comprIses about 50 per cent ot the stock forwnrded to market. This means that the tarmer has received about , half the prlco fot' the animals ho has raised and forwarded to mar- Imt that ho would have gotten If they had been properly bred , grown and finished. It has talen as much ot the food of malntenanco and as much feed I to grow every pound at their weight as though they were worth twlco the money. It Is folly to attempt to engage In beet production with such a class of animals , especiallY where stall feeding and intensive farming are practiced. There Is no reason why such stock should be grown , as the type and conformation - formation can bo Improved by the use of good beef bred sires , and the moro grading up by pure blood animals ot approved form the better the results. Four or five generations of pure bred sires wllI estab1lsh a herd ot lIve stock practically as good for all teedlng purposes - poses as pure breeds. . Goat Meat and Kid Meat. A clrcula of the United States Department - partment of Agriculture says : While It is genemlly agreed among those who spoal < trom experlenco that the 1lds pf all breeds of goats are a delicacy - cacy , It is true that among the great mass of the people of this country there is a prejudice against an'thlng bearing the name of "goat. " Within the environments of all ot the larger cities are found many ltlds , and it Is evident that only a few of them grow to maturity. What becomes of them ? Dutchers and meat. dealers answer the question by saying that they passover ever their blocks as "Iamb , " No meat dealer has heard ot a complaint of the quality ot such "Iamb , " A considerable - able number of mature common goats are purchased by the packing houses at th larger cities. They are purchased - chased as go Rots and sold , either in the carcass or canned , as mutton : nnd man ' who decry goat meat have unconsciously - consciously eaten It many times no doubt. This does not mean that the meat is as pala.table ns good mutton , but it may be as good as poor mutton , and so the consumer's criticism concerns - cerns the quality and not the ltlnd _ The lIesh of any mature common goat Is not palatable to most persons who have tasted it. This Is due to the strong taste , and , to some extent , t Its toughness. Proper care in dressing - ing would probably mltlgato It not en- tlroly prevent the strong tnste , and feeding on grain would tend to produce - duce u. moro tender carcass. Doth these points , 110wover , wllI hardly rOe celve attention from anyone who may contemplate going into the Industry , for the reason that they wllI add ma- torlalIy to the cost of production. The excol1ent quality ot the Itld meat has already been montloned , , It Is sato to aay thnt the existing vrojudlcQ against It would disappear It people were to test It , and In time a good market ought to bo built up for all that cnn be produced. However , the question arIses , WIII It pay to ralso common goats for the sale ot Itlds ? The farmer wllI have to dotermlne this matter for himself. If a ready marl\et wore estnbllshed for the kids at , lIay , 1,50 each , and It one dee can ra.lse three or four kids nnnunlIr , It cnn hardly be doubted that the Industry - try could bo made Ilrotltablo , At this tlmo no such marltat exists , The losses trom lice on pigs are fro- quenUr severe , especlalIy In the case at young pigs , Death sometimes re- wlts directly trom the attacks , but moro otten comes Indirectly In the way at cholera or other dlsoa9 that was able to taston ItseIt on the 110s ; fJoca'Jse : at the systems being weak- tined from the presence ot lIce on the anlml s.

It Is moving toward the point of lea.st reslstanco. This , however , is not the profitable way to breod. Most men wllI follow It : for to go in an. other direction requlr08 too much thought , too much study , too much investigation - vestigation and too much worlt. Yet the hard road Is the ono that leads to prosperity In the hog raising business , It a man Is going Into the scientific breeding of , swlno ho should lenow what products certaLn matlngs will bring forth , For such there Is no rule , but there are numerous rules some ot which have not been discovered. Th field f < lr development In this direction Is large , To the aid of such n breeder must be brought al1 the experiences ot ethers , Incorporated In books or ob. I , 1ln d ornlly' . Swlno breeding is not the narrow subject it aeems _ , It has many phases and each feature ot these subdlvldes almost Indefinitely.

Rice Hulls In Stock Feed. Mention was made In our last report at the experiments then being conducted - ducted at detormlnlng the digestibility ot rice bran and polish. These experIments - Iments were brought to a successful conclusion and the results embodied in Dulletln No , 77 , just issued. A tnct was brought out In these experiments whIch was not sought , because it was not suspected. It was a valuable revelation - lation , however , and the strong hand of the law may bo Invol\Cd to suppress - press Its future existence. It was found' that It was a common custom of tllO rIco mills In this state to grind up the huIls of the rico and mix the same with the bran. In many instances - stances this ndulteratlon reached 50 per cent of the total feed , By the new process ot mlIIlng rIco it Is claimed that a smal1 quantity ot hulls necessarIly - sarIly finds Its way Into the bran , but so largo a quantity as 50 per cent can only bo accounted for by mixing of the two with the Intention ot fraud. Rico hulls ate not only of no nutrltlvo value , but absolutely Injurious from a. physiological standpoint , greatly Injuring - juring the mucous linings of the stom. ach.-Loulslana Station. Best Horse to Raise. There Is no doubt that the best horse for the farmer to raise is the' ' dratt horse. The farmer needs sometimes - times to raise roadsters and driving horses : but In the main the draft leads all others , There are many more draft horse. The farmer needs some- ltlnd , The demand Is not so much for' ' an improved ldnd ot horse as tor Q. first-class animal ot the lelnds wo now have. The draft horse can be raised with IIttlo expense to the farmer , and he begins to pay his way before the time comes to marl\Ot him , The dratt colt WOrliS In easllr with the general worlt of the farm. The farmer may find It difficult t seIl aUght hatne38 horse for carrlago purposes , but he never has trouble In selling a llNt. . class draft horse. In any event It should be remembered that It requires no moro labor to care for a good draft horse than for a pool' ono. The horse ot quality will consume no moro feed than the oth'er , but the margin between - tween cost and selling price is ver , much greater Inthe case of thO' goo& horse than between the cost and sell. Ing price ot the Inferior horse. Rye for Dairy Cows. When rye Is to be used for feeding cows In the spring It should bo sown In the latter part of August or In the early part 01 September. So sown It w111 got well started and cover the ground wcU before winter comes on. If it growB too weIl , It is easy enough to re uco Its thrift by turning In the calves , sheep or cows tor a few weelts In the fnll. This pasturing should not be continued long enough to reduce the covering to a point where the roots wl11 bo injured later by the severities ot winter. In the sowing ot the seed about three bushels should bo used per acre , as this gives a finer stemmed rye than tbe ordinary amount Qf Boed and this fineness mal < es it more agreeable to the cows. The use ot the rro crop is found I the early spring before the pasture grasses have hnd time to develop , When the grass comes on the cows will abandon the rye tor the grass , the taste of which they prefer to that of the rye. Good and Bad Feeding. Presuming thnt a breeder has swine ot tlrst qua1lty the feMlng become'J a questlan ot great Importance , It Is often remarl\Od thnt this and that breeder failed because bo bought nnl. mals of fancy broedlng points and then gave them scrub care. This Is nlways a fntal mlstalto , The purebred - bred animals have received many backsets In roputntlon from this causo. TaIte an , . of our best strains ot hogs and let them bo turned Into a poor feed lot and bo given lIttle grass and much corn. A few goneratlons ot that kind ot feeding wm give us a scrub progeny wll.h a good set nf pedl. grees. That Is II. case where , the pedigree - gree Is worth less than nothing.
