A GREAT MIsTAKE.-It seems to me
that many breeders make great mistake
In paying too little attention to the health
and constitutional vigor of their live stock
While making great effort to breed to
certain styles, forms and shades of color.
they neglect the far weighter matter of
health and vital power. | like to see an
animal with a perfect form and beautiful
color, but | consider good health hardness,
and strong digestive organs, worth a great
deal more than either or both combined
For, no matter how beautiful an animal
may be, If it has not strong powers of di-
gestion it will not thrive, and cannot be
made source of profit. But, on the other
hand, the creature may be very imperfectly
formed.
AGE OF Cows.-Cows live to an average
age of about fifteen years. Rings on the
the horns tell the number of their DAYS.
AT four years old ring is formed at their
roots and every succeeding year another is
added.
Thus, by allowing three years before
their appearance, and counting the number
of rings, the age of the animal is known.
1t is well for certain members of the human
race losing their bloom, who are somewhat
sensitive on the question of age, that there
are no definite appearances added with
annual precision to their cheeks, revealing
to the eye what they keep from the ear

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Represent.
alive Danford, Of the House New Orleans
Committee, returned this morning, and
the remainder OF the Committee will start
Tuesday. His statements in regard to
the condition Of affairs in that State
agree with those OF Crapo, as already pub
lished. His observations extended chiefly
to New Orleans and the Upper Red River
Parishes. His Committee experienced
great difficulty in obtaining Republican
witnesses, owing 70 the fact that Demo-
cratic White Liners attended numerous
ly The siiLings of the committee, and even
those negroes who had been personally
abused during the campaign were afraid
u testify in such presence. Az TO six
parishes which were thrown out entirely
by the Returning Board, on the ground Of
intimidation and violence, Mr.. Danford
thinks the action OF the Board will be fully
justified by the country when the facts
upon which it acted become known
through the reports OF the various COM
mitteeS Of investigation. There appears
to be no doubt OF the fact that the intim-
idatiOn praGticed in these parishes ex-
erted marked influence upon the result
Of the election in the adjacent polls OF
adjoining parishes. There were, also, one
or two sections Of the State in which the
Willie LeaguerS had ridden through, and
so completely terrOrized year ago as TO
wipe out the Republican party, or, in
other words, make it impossible for the
Republicans TO votG in anything like
their real numbers. As to the question
Of armed political organizations existing
in the State, the committee will probably
point TO the operations in New Orleans
on last Monday night and Tuesday
morning as unanswerahle proof, fur
nished by the Democrats themselves.
The Crescent City White Liners, fifteen
hundred strong, and full armed, were as.
sembled at midnight by Ogden, their
commander, ordered TO report again in
the morning, andat that hour appeared
fully armed, after which they were sworn
in as Nichols State militia. Mr.. Dan.
lord's observations throughout that por-
ton Of The State which he trayersed, in
regard to Tilden, were those OF almost
every political visitor who has visited
the South from Washington since the
election, and are 10 the effect that the
people care very little. for Tilden, per-
sonally, or whether he is declared elected
or not. Their chief anxiety is cenIered
in the desire TO obtain control Of their
own STATE governments. Alarge portion

committees leaving New Orleans, and ii
