SheItering Animals,

A righteous man resardeth the life ofhis beast.
So says S~olmon-and it en,ers into this
project that his Comfort also, should be re-
garded. We have been surprised and panied
at what appears to he an unmerc,ful regard
lessness Of the comfort and health of their
animals; particularly their colts and horned
cattle, IN not proviiing them with shelter. in
the winter season. Their animals are around
a stack, at any distance from any shelter,
or round a barn, where is none, except pro-
lection by the sides Of the barn, from the
direct force of the wind; these too, night
and day, through storm Of rain and snow,

fl One Dollar per annum.

Encouraged by the liberal patronage bestowed
upon the "OLlVE BRANCH" the undersigned
has made arrangements TO enlarge it TO double

undertaking, we desired it TO be distinctly I'M
%derstood, that we were pledged to no particular
sect, and that in no case, we should NEEDLE with
politics. We shall continue to occupy the same
ground. Sectarianism has been too often des-
'ructIye to the peace, harmony, and union o.
the followers of Christ, while the pure and ele-
waited principles Of Christianity have as fire.
quently been contaminated by being mingled in
the turmoil and strife of party politics. We
Shall endeavor TO avoid both, as heretofore, and
we shall only vary our original design, in devo-
ting a larger portion of the enlarged Sheet to the
interests of the farmer. We have received no
small portion of our patronage from that class of
our population, and as we look upon Agriculture
IN some measure, as the handmade to religion
and morality, IN doing so, we shall be only indi-
rectiy carrying out our former plan. 1t is a
subject too, the importance of which, both pro-
lessons OF religion, and non-professors, unite in
acknowledging, and inasmuch, as we have been,
contrary TO our expectations much more liberally
encouraged by the latter, than BY the former,
we snail endeavor to adapt our sheet more to
ueir wants and taste-taking care at the same
lme, that this shall only be secondary 70 our
main design-that of Religion and Morality.

a country wagon, a few days since, and had
the curiosity TO inquire OF the seller how he
succeeded in getting them so fat. His reply
was that he fed them with Indian meal and
milk. Merely take uncooked meal and wet
it up with cold sweet milk, and feed literally
and your chickens will fatten as rapidly as
can be desired.-Farme,'s Gazete.

WEEKLY POLITICAL NEWSPAPER
CALLED
1.-THE
Published in Bopling Green, Missouri.

The above will be the title of an old paper un-
der a new lame to be published in Bowling Green,
Mo-, by the undersigned. With the change of
name there will be no change in the political
course of the paper. "THE RADICAL" win
pursue the same course as has heretofore been
pursued by the "Salt River Journal" It win
advocate a strict and rigid Interpretation Of the
constitution as the best safeguard of the rights Of
the people and of the states, and as the only guar
antee Of the durability of our union. It will OPP
pose the exercise of all doubtful powers by Con-
gress, and as a necessary consequence will wage
an uncompromising war against a National Bank,
whatever name it may a~ssume-against a protec-
tive tariff, as wrong in itself and dangerous to the
harmony of the members of the National Con-
federacy-and against the attempt to bride the in
debted states into the support of the Federal
Party by a distribution of the proceeds Of the
sales of the public lands among the states.
The undersigned are DESTROYS to extend the
circulation of the "RADIcAL," and with this view
no effort will be spared to render it acceptable to
the Democracy of this portion of the State
From them we have to look for much the larger
proportion Of our patronage, and we shall strive
TO make our sheet worthy of their support and
of the great principles it advocates. The terms
of subscription have been reduced so as to make
it one of the cheapest papers in the State; and, if
not the best, we intend that it shall be inferior to
none in every thing that constitutes an able and
interesting paper.
The first number of the "RADrcAL" will be
issued on Saturday, the 9th of November, on 8
sheet of a size of the Journal but with con-
siderable Improvements. A large portion of it
will be in smaller type-thereby adding to its
appearance and to the quantity of reading matter.
The terms will be 81 to a club of 3 or more
subscribers, paid in advance. 1915 o to a single
subscriber, if paid within 6 months, and So II
not paid till after that period.
