The Omnium Gatherum Of Items

The Civil Service Farce.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-It is pretty
generally understood that President
Arthur has squatted squarely down
on the gigantic farce known as the
civil service reform commission. 1t
was given out that they would frame
rules to govern promotions in the de-
partments, in accordance with
THE ORIGINAL LAW,
which provides that no one shall be
promoted until he has passed an ex-
animation. 1t has never been ques-
toned but that this meant competi-
tive examination, and in spite of all
denials it is positively know that the
rules have already been drafted,
adopted and submitted to President
Arthur for his approval, and that the
latter has called halt. The commits
sioners consequently having nothin e
to do, although they declare that a
pressure of other business will not
permit them to take up the subject of
promotion for some time. The rules
adopted provided that the commission
erS should
HAVE FOUR QUESTIONS
of general character, the head of the
bureau four relative to the work, and
the division chief four relating to the
particular work the candidate will
have to do, the relative value of
which should be i'll the order named,
as two, four and eight. Now by
leaving off the competitive part of
the scheme the tenure of office is
thing entirely in the control
of the division chief with his
eight points, who could create va
cancy at any time by assigning can
didate to work that it was known he
could not perform, thus removing
him for incompetency. The chief of
4 department comes in direct contact
with the congressman who have con
troll of the appropriation bills, and is
consequently
AT THEIR MERCY.
The result is plain. The commission
becomes powerless, while the service
is i'll no way improved or removed
from the control of party politics. A
gentleman who has been connected
with the examinations since they were
first commenced, declares the whole
system an absolute failure

What Shall be Done With the
HeiferS.

We cannot rear all the heifers, that is
clear; and yet some persons complain
that the heifer calves are sold for veals.
What is the dairyman to do with his heiier
calves? II it is wrong to slaughter them.
or to sell them. he is in bad fix. for they
will eat him out very soon. The dairy
man who has 20 cows depends on his herd
lasting say six years. If he replaces
them in that time. that is all he can do
reasonably. But 20 cows will have Go
heiter calves in six years. There will be
40 to spare. Clearly, these must be sold.
A COW is at her best at eight and up TO
ten years; and all the advice to the con-
trary will not induce a dairyman to keep
more heifer calves than will replace va
cancies in his herd. And some cannot do
that. 1t will not pay to raise u COW on whey
or substitutes for milk. A calt must be
ted on milk-skmmed milk is good
epough-for six months to make good
COW. But no dairynan except butter
maker or who sells cream can rear calves
And therefore it is useless and aggravating
to dairyman to be told he is wasting
his opportunities unless he rears all his
heifer calves. If he rears the best and
learns how to select the best. and rears
them well, he will be doing well. A good
Judge of dairy cattle says a promising cali
should have a fine narrow head, clear,
large eyes, thin neck. long. thin Leg,
silky ears, four well developed teats
standing far apart. and should be up and
searching for its breakfast before it is an
hour old. This indicates the good points
of future COW and good heifer.
