From the Dublin Freeman.
O'Dnnovan Rossa publishes tbe fol
lowing correspondence. Tbe first letter
is from Mr. Rossa to Mr. Blaine, Secre
tary of State:
"Dear Sir: I beg to apply to you for
a passport to Europe. I am an Irishman
who has tried to drive the Euglisb out
of Ireland. England arrested me in Ire
land in the year 1865, and sentenced me
to penal servitude for life. In 1871 she
gave me a patent of conditional pardon
(a copy of which I enolnse), and she
shipped me from Chatham Prison to
America, and forbade me returning
witbiu 20 years. That 20 years is up,
and I desire to take a trip to Ireland
and other places in Europe. 1 wish for
a passport tbat will save me from arrest
on my landing in the Cove of Cork, pro
vided I commit no crime on shipboard
during tbe voyage. I do not deny, and
do not wish to deny, that I have while in
America done all I Oonld to belp Irish
men to free Ireland from the tyranny of
England. You, by your speeobes and
by your contributions, have belped in
that direotion yourself."
Rossa received a passport in regular
form, with a letter saying the Depart
ment of State could not furnish l ira with
a passport in any other form, and could
not give him a guarantee against arrest
in foreign countries on criminal charges
Rossa then asked whether a treaty ex
isted between the United States and
Great Britain, under which an Amerioan
citizen could not be imprisoned for po
litical words or acts uttered or commit
ted in America, adding that all of bis
family bad served in tbe American war
against England (meaning tbe late Civil
war), and saying tbat be bimself took
part in the Irish war against England,
lioasa also pointed out that he bad
eleven children in the United States.
Mr. Blaine replied: "I have to state
that there is no arrangement of any kind
in force between tbe United States and
Great Britain on the eubjeot to which
your letter relates."
Rossa thus comments on tbe corre
spondence: "Tbat letter is plain enough.
I thought it was right and proper to let
the correspondence end here; so that
after all the talk we have beard from
Irishmen about Amerioan citizens being
free from all accountability to England
and Ireland for an; thing politioal said
or done in America regarding England,
there is really no snob protection given
him by bis papers of American citizenship."

FEEDINu BOOS FOR WEIGHT.
A great majority of farmers in fatten
ing hogs adhere to the notion so oftei
expressed, "When you get a hog a goiu'
keep'm at it as long as possible." Tbi.
means praotically tbat tbe hog should
be fed to a large weight. Experiments
made for tbe purpose ot determining tli.
economic weight of hogs show ooncln
sively that tbey never should be fed be
yond eight or nine months of age, aud
tbat the largest profit is found, as n
rule, in a weight not to exoeed 201
pounds.
What is known as the food of support
plays a very important part in tbe profil
or loss of large weights. 8uppose, as
many farmers say, tbat a resolution if
mnde to turn the hog when he leaohes
300 pounds. He must take from bis
food an increasing amount eaob day, or
else Ik; drops back. The German exper
iments indioate that 2 per oent of the
live weight in food must be taken each
day to support tbat live weight. If tbe
hog weighs 300 pounds this umoants to
six pouuds of food daily. The only piofit
is in the food that if applied to make
new weight. " ' "-v f '
A reoent pig feeding experiment at the
Maine station illustrates this prinoiplr
excellently. The pigs were taken at
ages ranging from five to eight weeks.
During the first 100 days of tbe experi
ment, not far from two pounds of digest
ible food produced one pound of growth,
while during tbe last fifty days the
ratio wbs four pounds of digestible food
to one of growth. Every ponnd of pork
made during the 'nst fifty days oost
double in exabaeW' fond to that made
in the first 100 days. Tbe lesson taught
hy this principle is, practically stated,
that tbe most money ean be made fmm
young hogs turned st medium weight
As many of oiitvrmere have em
barked in tbe b.ig-rt .fyig business, these
few remank on tbat inUustry should be
well received. It is a well-known fact
tbat no business pays any better tban
tbat of raising hogs, amount invested
considered. Tbe better tbe management
the larger tbe returns.
CATTLE ITEMS.
Fames with cattle on the f all river
(Calif.) summer ranges are rounding
tbem up.
The question as to how muoh an ani
mal weighs when ready for market is
not of so mucb importance as is tbe
cost of getting it in that condition.
The Ocbooo Review says that Howard
& Baldwiu started 275 bead of beef cat
tle below on the 9th instant. They ex
pect to turn off 1,000 bead of beef this
season.
Acoording to the Daily Stockman live
stock receipts at Omaha for 1891 up to
Ootober 1, show a decrease of 48,074 cat
tle, 122,776 hogs and an inorease of
17,750 sheep as compared with the same
period last year.
The South Western Stookman, Wil-
oox, Ariz., says: Tbe beet market is
looking up and cattlemen are now alow
to recognize tbe fact. Buyers on Oot. 2d
offered 2 cents per pound, sixty daya
delivery. Tbe prospects of a higher
prioe for beef has also raised tbe price of
pasturage, which is now from 75 oenta to
SI per bead.
The festive "rustler" must be getting
in his flue work in Apacbe county. The
St. John Herald says: Honest stock
raiBers will have to work early and late
from this on and see that everything
able to walk is branded. A six months
calf, following its mother is no longer
any protection. Tbe grand jury deoided,
by ignoring bills, tbat tbey were straight
maverick (slickears) and belonging to the
ods no first caught and branded them.
Ihe gate has been thrown wide open.
With a couple of good horses, a strong
lariat, a branding iron and enough filthy
lucre to buy a ton or two of grain, an in
dustrious man. in one or two winters, can
own two or three hundred head of cattle.
If the brand is indistinct or tbe bair
sufficiently long to bide it it is maveriok

ays: J he all-important questiou with
tbe wool grower is tbe wintering of bis
Hook. If be can be assured of getting
bis flack through aafely he cunuot fail to
make his calling a suocess. But we take
this opportunity of saying that while
good Bheds, good ranges and large rioks
of hay are great things in insuring a
flock to winter well, these are nut tbe
only things to be considered by any
meana. One Verv important matter, and
the one to be considered at tbis seaBon
of tbe year, is the condition of tbe flock
at the beginning of winter. Tbe cost ol
wintering a band of sheep may be ma
terially lessened by having the fleck iL
prime coudition to commeuoe with, anu
a great deal of loss is often precipitated
by not having tbem in proper shape.

ALFALFA FARMINli AT THE FOOT OF
THE liOCKIKS.
As the time approaches tor the World 's
Fair, greater interest is bei g felt in tbe
marvelous City of tbe Lakes. Tbe Cos
mopohtan niagnzine has devoted 28
pages of tbe November number to
most interesting and exhaustive article
upon Chicago from the pen of tbe fa
mous novelist, Col. Charles King. Count
Jaoassy, who spent some time on tbr
ground for that purpose, and Hurry
Fenn, have illustrated the most obarm
ing ftatures of tbe city by twenty-eight
sketches. An article upon "Alfalfa Farm
ing" in tbis number is by John Brisbeii
Walker, who, aa the result of ten yenre
spent in the saddle, in direct superin
tendence of bis farm Berkeley, one of tbe
largest alfalfa farms in Colorado, givei
tbe reader muoh valuable information in
regard to tbe irrigation and curing of
tbe wonderful plant which is destined
to become one of tbe most valuable pro
ducts of tbe United States. General
Sherman's letters to bis duughter, writ
ten from the field during tbe war, are
perhaps tbe most valuable oontributiou
tbat has yet been made to tbe literature
of tbe war. Judge Tourgee furnishes a
charming story called "Au Outing with
Queen of Hearts." Louise Chandler
Moulton, Commander Crowuingshield.
ex Postmaster-General James, are among
tbe other contributors. Gen. Horace
Porter's article on "Militia 8ervice" is
worthy tbe attention of everyone inter.
ested in the National Guard. Very cu
riously, but very little attention law
ever been given in the magazines to the
frightful tragedies of the Rom in Amphi

THE STRONGEST ANO PITKEST-
The Official Report of the Minnesota Dairy
Aim rood LiitiiiiilHt,ioner miown tne
Royal Bukniir Powder the Rest
in the Mate.
The last report of the Minnesota State
Fod and Dairy Commission ootitains
the details of tbe State Chemists' experi
meats and analysis to determine tbe
strength and keeping qualities of tbe
various bukiug powders. Samples of
the numerous brands on sale in the
ntnte were purchased and first analyzed
to ascertain their leuvt ning power. Tbe
Royal Baking Powdor is shown by the
tests of both State analysists, Prof Eber
man and Prof. Drew, to ooutaiu the
greatest amount of leavening gas of tbe
cream of tartar powders thus purchased
aud tested. Hence this powder is of
ficially ranked at the head of the list.
The report attuebes great imjiortauee
to a series of experiments made to as
certain the cbaraoter, efficiency and keep
ing qualities of tbe powders. Baking
powders that vary iu strength before use.
are unreliable and will not give even re
aults; besides, it is au indication of tut
use in their compounding of improper
ingredients. These tests were applied to
a large number of samples of different
ages of tbe three oreitoi of tartar pnwdeia
best known in Miuuesota. Tbey showed
tbe strength or leavening power of tbe
Royal very much greater than that of
tbe others. The uniformity of Btrtunth
of all tbe samples of lioyul tested v
remarkable. Its leavening power vvat
piaotioally unimpaired even iu the old
est speoimeus. jT'he dill'erenerf in thtd
amount of leavening gas in different
samples of both the other brands was sw
great as to seriouuly impair their useful
ue.ss iu baking. As much as 24 per oeut.
luss was found iu samples a few months
old. All thefamples of Royal examined
by Dr. Drew were reported of satisfactory
strength aud quality.
