Keep the Best Heifers.

Saving heifer calves only from the
best mixers, and then wedding ont
the poorest of these, will soon lay
the foundation for "a choice dairy
herd. And let US make the future
important point, tha; selecting a
pure bred male from an especially
good milking strain, and then Sc
lecting the heifer calves from the
best milkers, the following up Of
this mode of breeding for every ten
years with males from the same
strain OF blood, the blood of the
progeny becomes unified and inten-
sifed to degree of prepotency al
most equal to thoroughbred. The
dairvman may then place a strong
reliance upon the milking quality
Of the future progeny He has thus
moulded a breed to suit his own
wants. When dairymen shall pro-
ceed on this systematic plan of
growing their own dairy herds we
shall hear much less of the unprot-
itableness of the dairy. OF course
great care must be taken to study
the wants of these young animals
as to food and shelter. Good food
and care are necessary to show the
capacity of any strain of blood. The
best blood will soon deteriorate un-
der unsk;llful feeding. The heifer
calves from the best mixers should
be generously fed from the begin
ming with such food as will grow the
frame and muscles. consequently
nitrogenous food is most important.
Skim milk, oil meal, wheat bran,
oats, barley and clover are all good.
They must always be fed with more
nitrogenous food.-Natjonal Lice

I Upon the perpetuity of Republican
party depends the prosperity OF the
country. That it has been a constit-
uent element of this prosperity ioi
the past twenty years, Is beyond
successful contradiction. 1t is there
fore a pertinent question. rs there
any thing in the Republican party
that recommends it to the sober con-
victions of the people as deserving
of success in this campaign Ii
will be perfectly consistent to take a
retrospective glance and observe
what has been done. In doing this
it will be manifest that the peculiar
mission of the party is not complete.
1t has broken off the chains OF sla-
very and secured civil rights to the
ewancipated, but Tissue ballots
have vitiated much of the legislative
action in reconstructing rebel States.
! During the late session of Congress,
after struggle that made the whole
machinery of finance tremble for
fear of destruction, the Republican
representatives succeeded in exten-
ding the National banking system,
and until the enormous rebellion
debt is paid its work will not be
finished. Protective tariff has not
become such fixture i'll the pollty
of the nation, rs to permit Its truest
and only consistent friends to ceaSe
their efforts for It's maintenance.
The great problem of education IN
the south is soon to become lead
ing feature in Congressional proceed-
ings. Heretofore, the Republican
party has had the fostering care OF
this work, and until something of Il
permanent character is accomplish
ed her mission will not he fulfilled
We. therefore, venture the assertion,
that the grand old Republican party
cannot be overthrown while its his
tory is unwritten. Who Is brave
and daring enough to become its
historian? We glory in the fact that
it has not fulfilled its mission be-
fore the country and until tins Te-
suits, the majestic force of It's prin-
ciples will hold the fabric in place,
and keep the power in exertion, in
order that it may accomplish lis
destiny. Are theren no other achieve
ments before it? The party has
always been aggressive. To it be
longs the introduction of all the
marked features that characterize
our present progress III liberal gov
ernment, and the possibilities are
not vet exhausted. What may be
in the womb of the future no one
ca- tathom, but of this We are assur-
ed, that the party that has so faith
fully met the exigencies of the past
is safe to he trusted for all the emer-
gencies that can arise in the future
Are not these enough upon which
to base the assertion, that they can
not exist such an auomal V as divided
Repuhlicanism? He that Is not for
US is against us, is as true to day
as when first uttered. 1t is impossi-
BILE to reach the conclusion that men
who have been so earnest in pro-
claiming their unalterahle adherence
to the principles Of the Republican
party, will see them sacrificed to
replace a party whose teaching they
abhor, and whose career for twenty
years has been a continued effort u
regain lost prestige party whose
triumph will bring nothing but
chagrin, and suhvert all they have
held worthy of being called princi-

He Recognizes an Old London Friend

At Barnum' 5 circus Saturday even
ing as large crowd was standing IN
front of the huge Jumbo, feeding him
bits of crackers, nuts and candy, a
rather elderly looking woman was
seen pushing her way through the
throng trying 10 get near To give the
beast something. Jumbo stood
swaving his huge trunk in front OF
the crowd, but suddenly stopped
and locked intently at the lady
pushing her way toward him. Then
he seemed TO recognize her and lean
ed as far forward as his short chain
would allow him and stretching his
trunk out toward the woman regard
less of the many other choice bits
that were held out to him. The la
dy reached the rope stretched across
in front of the elephant and began
to feed him some nuts. He would
take none from any other person
and seemed delighted to see her.

The lady petted the monster few
moments. said, Goodbye, Jumbo,
and started for the circus tent
Jumbo looked after her, a"d
would have followed her if he could
but his chains held him fast, so he
reluctantly turned toward the crowd
again and held out his trunk for i

for him for some moments.-Atban}
