A noted western authority says that the ration that makes a pound of beef when fed to a steer, would, if fed to a good cow, give as twice or more the food value, and that of a much higher commercial value. His explanation is this : To fatten a steer he cost have a ration a* large at the cow m full . pounds gow of milk. The steer in a year will gam ft*) pounds, if well looked after : the actual tood of thu oUO pounds approximates li) pounds of protein and fata.

Each operation wa* performed with eijual thoroughness and euaal lack of scruple. The iniquities of the Land League were condoned or condemned, according to political exigencies. So were th* iniquities of the Divorce Court. The history of the divorce court proceed- ings, must Ilk* that of the Special Commu- j sion, remain to some extent a mystery.
