at the head Of it's columns. The first
cut represents the rooster as he was
in 1876, a small chicken just creeping
out Of his shell, but with game look
in his eye. The second represents
him as half grown cock with spurs

Next year he will appear as full

feet across the wings, and shouting

A Plea for the Mole.
From the Sn0rtSman.

In some parts Of Belgium attempts
have been made to extirpate the
moles from the soil. At one of the
most elegant chateaux in that coun-
try, surrounded by a park adorned
by magnificent lawns, men were en-
pIoyed to catch and kill the moles.
After a time they were killed off aud
disaprea red entirely, in consequence
of which the velvety grass of the
lawns soon withered. The cause Of
the mischief was a small white worm,
which had been kept down BY the
moIes. These little animals, though
troublesome at times, are, as the
above incident proved, very useful on
an estate. The proprietor of the
chateau, after be had made the dis.
covery, was obliged to stock his place
with a fresh supply Of moles, after
which the lawns tlourished as for.

The hardest time on stock is when
the fiosts have killed the summer
vegetation. 1t brings ahont an en-
tire change of everything. The grass
cs, if they do not become scarce, lose
their nutritive properties, all of a
sudden. thus presenting a feed tor
which the animal organization is not
prepared. As i consequence the AMI
NAL falls off with great rapidlty,
whereas, if it were sustained for a
few weeks with proper food, and
uaSsed into the chan scd condition OF
affairs gradually, it would get along
much better. A dollars worth OF
trt,l properly given at this particular
period wonld do more good than five
tollaas' worth of feed given later in
the season, provided the animal had
been wholly neglected through the
dividing line between summer and
winter.
In our mention Of stock we mean
farm animals IN general and cattle
and sheep in particular. A proml-
nent writer has given it as his "p'on-
ion that most of the diseases preva-
lent among sheep may be traced d.
rectly to how they were treated at

the Strawberry Festival given as benefit
to the NJ. E. Church of this town, was
held in the Good Templars' Hall. Near
ly a hundred persons old and young as
sembled to enjoy the occasion, and did so
most effectually. A nice table was spread
decorated with tastefully arrayed boquets,
and supporting fine array of plain cake.
After little singing by those selected to
do duty in that line, ever so many saucers
full Of large, juicy Strawberries, covered
with crushed sugar and sweet cream, were
served out to those who desired a little
practice as epicures' During this healthy
and refreshing exercise, instrumental mu-
sic, the merry peal Of laughter and the
hum Of childish voices were mingled in
varying proportions. But limited time
and space suggest brevity. The receipts
Of the evening, after paying all expenses,
figured up to about $45. This will be
gratefully accepted by the NJ. E. society,
and viii be expended in Identifying their
house Of worship, which they, are prepar-
ing to occupy within the coming month.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
LOCAL NEWS.

RETIRED FROM JoURNALIsM.-Mr. c.
W. Philbrick, the former publisher Of the
ARGUS, has purchased few acres of land
in the Western side of town, and will
henceforth engage in farming on a mod
crate scale; retiring, as he informs us, from
the field OF journalistic enterprise forever.
During, Mr.. Philbrick's connection with
the ARGUS, both himself and wife labored
faithfully; and, finding the business con-
fining and hecessitating the expenditure
of continual hard labor, they finally con-
cluded to change their occupation to one
more congenial to their tastes, and cou-
pllng reasonable profits with healthy ex-
ercise. To this end overtures were made
to us, looking to a change of ownership,
resulting as has been shown. Since the
purchase, our friends have been somewhat
unsettled in their plans regarding future
course; but, after mature deliberation,
have settled down as true disciples of the
great Horace Greeley, re-affirming, few
days ago, the statement made at the start,
viz, that the printing business and the
craft were taken leave of, professionally,
for good. While with one hand we can
give the farewell shake to our predecessor
as a propeller ofthe quill and shears, with
the other we can give him hearty well

art.
