shipments from Clayton on Monday were six

doubtful things always uncertain Just as the race
was about to take place third horse came on the

Our VindicatiOn.

Since the starting of the American
Dairyman it has taken positive and
strong ground against two prominent er-
rors, II we may not call them public
impositions and swindles. We did this
on general principles and in the interest
of the dairymen and the public. We
did it in the face of much opposition
and not q little abuse when it was popu-
lar to 90 on the other side and immedi-
ate pecuniary reward laid in that direc-
ton. We might have consistently re-
mained silent or neutral and deferred to
acknowledged authority without incur
ring disapprobation on either side. Con-
servstism and narrow self-interest
dictated this course, and not few Of
our friends earnestly, but we thought
and now wthink-mistskcnly, warned Us
against Drawing the opposition of q sort
Of public sentiment based on scientific
authority and incurring the antagoniem
of those who were declared to have
millions at their command and to be re-
solved upon success at any cost.
But we preferred to stand on princi-
pie. to receive the approval of a clear
conscience and to rely in the judgment
of the future. We think we may safely
assume that we made no mistake, and
that our complete vindication has come.
We opposed, with facts and logic, the
pernicious use of the skinner in cheese
making, showing that it must inevitably
prove disastrous to the dairy interest,
however beneficial temporarily to indi-
viduals; and we exposed and pointed out
the evils Of that abominable imitation of
butter known as oleomargarine. Do
not the course of the dairy markets dur
ing the past year and their present con-
dition justify all that we said against
the skinner in the cheese dairy? and do
not the revelations of the microscope,
including those of Mr.. Michels and Of
Professor r. NJ. Piper, both of which
we have given to our readers, show
that We are right in branding oleomar-
garine as dangerous imitation, to say
nothing of its being an inferior and dis
honest cheat? Are we not completely
indicated in cur position on both these
questions ?-[American Dairyman.

1t lie probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in lS73-Congress
passed law providing for the erection
of durable headstones over the graves
of the regular and volunteer forces of
the United States whose remains are in
TERED in the National Military Gene
teries. This law has been carried out,
and the graves of the Nations dead in
these cemeteries are now permsntly
marked. At the instance of the War
Department, Congress has recently au.
thorized the erection of similar head
stones over the graves of the Union
soldiers who are buried in private and
village cemeteries. This will be done
as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made. In the meantime the
Quartermaster General, at Washington
will at once proceed to collect the neces.
sary information as to where these head
stones are required.
All persons having any knowledge O
the burial places of soldiers in private
cemeteries whose graves are not marked
are requested to communicate the fact Il
the Quartermaster General, and giv'
regiment, company, and date of dealt
of deceased, If known. Similar inform
alton is desired from parties in chsrg
of such cemeteries.
OF course it is not intended to furnisl
headstones for graves over which monu
ments have already been erected by rel
atives or friends of the deceased.
