Our National Bird.
The Chance a Western Orator
Deems Imperatively Necessary.

Hon. George w. Peck, in his
fourth-of-July Grafton at La Cross,
Wisconsin, said; ,-lt "
at may have been noticed that
thus far have made no allusion to
| the American eagle, the national
trade mark (patcnt applied for,) but
it is not that do not appreciate the
position that species of poultry occu-
pies on these occasions. The. poet,
abiding to the eagle, says:
''Bird Of the broad and neetlng wing,
Thy home Is high In heaven.
"This is too true. lie is high old
bird, and the committee that select
ed the eagle as national emblem
should have been arrested for disor-
derby conduct. o, great bird! you
live on mice /; You soar aloit on pin
ions airy until you see a poor little
mouse with one leg broke, and then
you swoop down like a ward consta-
bic and run him in. You are n nice
old bird for a trademark for ma
ton of heroes, you old coward. You
sit ON rock and watch a peasant
woman hanging out clothes. When
she goes into the house TO turn the
tiolhto-Nliuptiy sphS EANntf piiN
emblem of freedom-you represents
tive of the land of the free and home
of the brave, you swoop down on the
plantation and crush your tallons in
the quivering flesh of her little baby,
take him to your home high in heav-
en-, and pick his innocent little eyes
out. bald-headed old reprobate,
you would turn your tail and run at
the attack of bantam rooster. o,
eagle, you look well ON dress-parade,
but YOU are a unanimous coward,
and you eat snakes. You are a
fraud, and you were counted in by a
vote of eight TO seven. ~.
"The bird that should have been
selected as the emblem of our coun-
try, the bird of patience, forbearance,
perseverance, and the bird of terror
when aroused, Is Il mule. There Is
no bird that combines more virtues
to the square foot than the mule.
With the mule emblazoned ON our
banners we should be a terror to the
foe. We are nation of uncomplain-
ing hard-workers. We mean to do
the fair thing by everybody. We
piou hiohs' hViiE ~ We Nouit NC
done by. So does the mule. We as
a nation are slow TO anger, So is the
mule. As nation We occasionally
stick our ears forward and fan flies
off our forehead. So does the mule.
We allow parties TO get on and ride
as long as they behave themselves.
So does the mule. But when any ma
| ton sticks spurs into our fianks or
tickles our heels with straw, we
come down stifI-legged in front, our
ears look to the beautiful beyond, our
voice is cut loose and is still for war,
and our subsequent end plays the
snare drum on anything that gets in
reach of us, and strikes terror to the
hearts of tyrants. SO does the mule.
When the country gets older and
Congress has time TO get in its work,
the eagle will be superseded by the
national trademark, and in his place
will.rise the mule in all his glory"

Freezing it Out.

A Philadelphia doctor, acting on
the principle that freezing temper
allure destroys the germs of yellow
fever, proposes to freeze IL out. He
advocates, says the Philadelphia Led
ger:
, Let every quarantine station have
a ward or room capable of holding
several patients, more or less, as the
exigencies may demand, so arranged
that ventilation can be maintained
exclusively through ventilators and
by means of small antc-rooms with
spring closing doors, and then have
no mode of entrance or exit to the
ward except through the ante-room.
The antc-room should be kept-at the
same low temperature, or even lower
than that in the ward, so that the
temperature in the latter may not be
raised by the opening and closing of
doors by the attendants, nor any of
the disease producing germs escape
before they are thoroughly subjected
to the low temperature and destroy
ed. The ward and antc-room must
be kept at a temperature not higher
than $50 Fahrenheit, Keep the pa
tients comfortable by sufficient
amount of bedclothing; and every
thing that goes from the room, such
as clothing, excretions, all emana-
tons, etc, must be exposed suffi-
cient length of time to the cold.
This will kill the poisonous germs,
or reproducing cause, and prevcnt,as
far as the cases under treatment are
concerned, any risk of the disease
spreading. If patients cannot bear
so much cold during treatment, an
adjoining warmer room can be made,
with no mode of access or vcntila-
ton except through the cold room,
and everything going out of the
warmer room must be allowed to
remain a sufficient length of time to
get rid of the contagion. If no at
tendant occupies the ante-room the
degree of cold can be kept near zero,
in order the more quickly to destroy
all the disease producing agencies.

Capt. w. w. Lang has received Il
letter from Hubbard delegate TO
the State convention asking him to
become an independent candidate, to
which he replied that the Austin
platform met his views and that the
ticket suited him exactly. If Lang
had developed as much strength be-
fore as he has after the convention
he would have been the nominee for
Governor.-Er.
All! that indeed, would be, and
but for the adroit diversion OF the
convention from its regular and
proper course Lang would have got
the nomination very sure as il was.
In fact, his strength was only fairly
beginning TO develop, when, discov-
ering what was coming certain wire
pullers sprung the second II. j. c..
and thus cut him of. Six hours
more of regular convention work
would have suflieed TO make him the
nominee; but the commission took
the next beft man. Lang ia satisfied
and SO are we.

Cooperation in Stock Breeding

The idea of cooperation among
farmers for the purpose of enabling
Il number to accomplish with case
what one of them would find difficult
if not iInpracticable, is not u new
one In fact il has been, TO some ex-
tent practiccd ever since the white
man began rolling together the heavy
iimhers from New England forests
10 make for himself shelter from the
rigors of a rugged climate. But for
SOME reason cooperation has never
become popular with farmers as a
class, and has been rcsorted To but
very little, and then only when neces-
sity compelled it, adoption. That II
might often be made means for
tightening the burdens of farmers,
and of bringing within their reach
comforts and even luxuries they can
not otherwise have is not denied.

Most farmers freely admit that good
breeding is now absolutely necessary
in raising stock, if one would avoid
mn absolute loss. For whatever pur-
pose an animal may be wanted,
whether IL be for food, bearing bur-
deps, for speed, or for its wool, much
Of its usefulness and nearly all of its
profitableness depends upon its
breeding. But high breeding costs
time, money, thought and no little
drudgery, and he who would have
the benefit of good blood must and
should pay for il a fair.price, and this
price is often so great that the small
farmer, or one who has but small
herd, stud or flock can not afford 1t
for an animal for his own use alone.
He can, however, easily afford to be
one OF number to buy even the
choicest animals, il any equitable ar
rangement can be made under which
his stock can get the benefit of the
better breeding.
In such matters as this no plan APP
plicable TO all cases can be given, but
the details must be arranged accord
ing to circumstances. That coop
Grafton can be made pleasant and
profitable in these matters there can
be no doubt. Ii has been suggested
that the agricultural societies, which
are supposed to be gotten up and
managed for the benefit of the farm

the work of improving the domestic

Those who suffer from dsso Ser or inaction
