After stirring song, joined in by the
assembled multitude, the orator of the
day Hon w. b. Clark, of Bloomington,
was introduced and spoke as follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW CITI-
zENs:-The most inspiring passages in
history are those which commemorate
the deeds of veterans, survivors of wars
that saved nations and gave liberty to
man. For generation the soldiers of
Militades were wont to meet to recount
the deeds done at Marathon and extol
the glory of the nation their proves
saved.
The memory of Marathon and Arbila,
Zamra and Chalons, of Blenheim and
Waterloo, of Saratoga and Appomattox
has done and will do more for the cause
of liberty than the noblest utterances of
orators, poets and statesmen.
So long as man loves liberty, so long
will he find new interest and fresh in
spiration in the review OF the memora-
BILE conflicts, the countless struggles, the
bitter disappointments, the battles with
ignorance and passion, the hardships,
the sufferings, and the heroism through
which, in all the patient centuries, her
foundation has been laid and her affairs,
strewn with the costliest sacrifices; step
by step transformed into the beautiful
abiding temple of equal law, resting up
on free consent, offspring of intelligent
will
If there is any lesson in great war,
if there is anything encouraging to pat
riotism in deeds of yalor and heroic suf-
fering in behalf of country; anything
prompting to good and faithful citizen
ship, surely may we find it in the story
of that great conflict that saved us the
Union and gave the world new hope of
universal Republican liberty.
The war in which you so dearly
earned YOUR title as Veterans was one
of tie most memorable in history. 1t
was war notable for the vast extent of
country over which it was waged. for
| its enormous cost in treasure and in
blood, and for the high character of its
soldiery. 1t was war pregnant in
brilliant exploits, heroic daring, patient
suffering; significant in the conflict of
great principles that led to principles
that neither the wars the compromises
nor the Legislation of past centuries
could settle. Most notable of all for
the great results it accomplished. the
mighty issue it settled and the impress
it made upon man political destiny for
all the future.
Ii was a conflict such rs Caesar or Al
exander never waged. 1t was a war
not for conquest bat for principle, not
inaugurated for political aggrandize-
menf, me- prosecuted for national glory,
nor by jespot to quell rebellious sub
jects nor BY sovereign to vindicate in
suited honor, not waged by an oppressed
people d. string to be free, not carried
on BY mercensries fighting without en-
thusiasu -conquering without glory.
1t was a war respectfully entered upon
but magu ificently fought to its end by
peace lo-ing. peace abiding citizens; by
sovereign people for the sovereignty
of their nation; by citizen soldiery fol-

Cabbages as Fodder.

At the late meeting of the Board of
Agriculture the question was raised as to
the feeding value of cabbages for mich
COWS. Mr.. Hawden, of Worcester,
stated that he could get more food from
an acre of cabbages than any other crop,
and that he practiced feeding his cows on
them once day, when he had them,
without injuring the quality of the milk,
bnt always fed just after milking, re-
moving what leaves were left in the
crib as soon as the COWS had finished
eating. Mr.. Hawden's statement was
very freely discussed and evidently not
fully believed in by all, especially
that part relating to the
quality Of the milk. but from large
number of experiments tried in Europe
nearly the same conclusions are drawn
as those given by Mr.. Hadwen; namely,
that an acre of cabbages furnish more
nutriment than most other crops, and
that while they are greedily eaten by
COWS the butter is quite free from any
disagreeable taste. DR.. Anderson in his
investigation found that the outer leaves
had larger proportion of nutriment
than the heart, and that young plants
were richer than those more advanced in
age, which would seem to show the de-
STABILITY of cultivating the open heads
ather than those that are compact,
especially If to be fed from the field.
One of the great drawbacks on the cab
bage is the difficulty of keeping it for
winter use without losing the outer
leaves, which, if the analysis of DR.. An
derson be correct. are the best portion.
To keep the loose heads in good condition
for any great length of time, after cold
weather sets in, would be very difficult
if not impossible: With our present
facilities for keeping cabbages it is safer
to raise but limited quantity. and to
begin to feed out early. Possibly the
silo may open the way to keep
them, but to ensilage them with
success it would be necessary to cut
them up fine that they might be pressed
together compact enough to keep the air
ont.
But few crops that grow produce so
many tons to the acre Us the cabbage.
From twenty to thirty tons are frequently
obtained from an acre, and as many as
~ tons had been grown on a single
acre. If choice is to be made between
the Swedish turnip and the cabbage, we
have no doubt the cabbage would be the
best Massachusetts, Ploughman.
