Feeding rs an Element of Success.

All animals thrive as they are fed.
Plenty of the right kind of food and a
good digestion are essential to healthy
growth and successful breeding.
Without these, the best bred animals
degenerate; with them, improvement
may be safely counted on. Perfection,
it is true, involves other considerations,
such as coupling, shcltering and gener-
al handling, but he who provides an
abundance of healthy food for his stock
is pretty sure to guard the other
points.
Sheep above all other domesticated
stock luXuriate and thrive in good
pasturage and change of diet, and
the latter is as much an element of sue
cess as the former. A change of past
urage in summer is as delightfully."-
appreciated as mixed diet in winter,
and as conductive to contentment and
to healthy development.
Nor does this Apply to the mature or
aged sheep only-indeed, not SO much
as the young, for high feed and good
care from infancy to the first breeding
season forms the frame and fixes the
digestive powers, and it is from these
that quantity of wool, and quality as
well as quantity of flesh are formed.
If then the lambs have had abund-
ance during the spring and summer, il
is now the duty of the flockmaster to
see that he has provided an ample sup
ply for winter, and in sufficient variety
TO afford nourishment and contentment
This moreover applies to the aged as
well as the young. AS contemporary
puts it, If we note the bodies of the
sheep kept upon barren hills, or where
food is scanty, we find them long, thin,
bodied, sharp-backed, long-necked
long-headed and long-legged. This il
the way nature molds her forms on 8
meager diet and slow digestion. Al
expert animal anatomist could at once
tell the liberality of the diet of the ami
NAL by an examination of its skeleton
But if we examine the improved sheer
of any breed, we find them compact
round bodied, broad-backed, short-leg
ged animals, rounded out into grac,
and beauty by superior alimentation
This improvement might have beer
very much fastened by selection il

Another place where our disapproba.
ton and disgust of this nuisance should
be made to fall with weight, is on our
fair grounds. We, as union are
making commendablo efforts to keep
these festivals free from the contamina-

COZ OF the two evils, for the present
moment, the evil of tobacco smoke in
such crowd is the worst. Many are
debarred from attending such gather
ings on this account, and many more,
not only women but men, are compel
led to leave the ground deathly sick, ,
from inhaling the air poisoned by these
disturbers of the peace. Why do we

there alike to enjoy a day Of recreation
and pleasure. Why should Que por-
ton submit TO have their pleasure
destroyed to pamper to the depraved
appetite of another? Surely if it
be impossible for man to refrain
from smoking for two or three hours,
he should have respect enough for the
rights of others to go outside the
grounds to crafty that desire.
Now one word to the young ladies'.
IL lies in your power to become the
most efficient soldiers in the victorious
war.
Therefore if you seek the good of hui
manity, your first duty should be to
acquaint yourselves with the effects of
liquor and tobacco on the human sys-
tenn. and as you love your fathers,
brothers, and prospective husbands,
and as they will be swayed more or
less by their love for You, would urge
you to cast the whole weight of your
influence against the tobacco habit.
This can be easily done if you are so
disposed. Just decline ride or walk
with young man while he is smoking
and if he be worthy your society he
will not attempt the like again. Then
in all your associations with young
gentlemen, show your decided convic-
tons against this prevailing custom,
and be prepared with argument to
drive such convictions home. 1t is a
fact that the young ladies fix the moral
tone of society. If they place their
standard high the young men will come
up to it, but If they lower themselves
to associate with the occasional drinkcr
unrebuked, give the smile of approval
when young men puff smoke in their
face, or excuse them when by accident
they soil party dresses by the filthy
mass elected from their mouths, the
standard goes down, and the probable
ity of saving these brothers and lovers
to life of temperance goes down
with it.
Reformation of any of these imtem-
perate habits after marriage, is almost
hopeless; far better. young ladies, join
your influence with us, in this war
against the twin evil, stobacco and rum.

DR., B. r, Holcomb introduced the prohibitory
ordinance at the Council meeting on last
Wednesday evening, and secured the first
reading" We do not know as yet what Will be
the probable fate of the ordinance when the
final vote comes, but we do know that If the
Council shall pass the act they will be sustained
the doggery-keepers will denounce the measure,
and the men who vote for 1t. but the curses Of
such cattle is music to the ears of decent men.
On Thursday evening one OF these DEVILS
Agents was prancing around on broadway
street. denouncing the action of the Council
man, and declaring "of dey CLOSE my blace of
peesness, will git me a wagon und peddle my
peer all over town." We doubt whether he
will do this not; we wouldn't advise any
thirsty tippler to ''wait for the wagon" From
present indications 1t looks as though there was
a chance Of the Devil calling his agent home
before he gets time to grease up his wagon.
The part that hurts about the Temperance
agitation is the fact that the eyes of the people
have fastened upon the Devils Agents and
their horrible work. The time has passed when
these fellows were regarded as "business men,
valuable In community. The time has passed
when stink was an indication Of ability, or an
inflated stomach On evidence of brains. These
Devils Agents are rapidly taking their PLACES as
the very lowest grade of animals whose business
destroys every manly and noble impulse with.

in order to conduct their ipfernal business

ment wrought by these fellows about loni

A Policeman In Court!
A Temperance Sermon.

In the brick building on Broadway, across the
alley from Pugh's, a "Justice Of the Peace" has
an "ofice." Here, a number of young men
have been in the habit of congregating and
holdim high revelry. This is the place we
spokebf some time ago from which some
young men were taken to the lookup for "tak-
ing quinine." It seems to be a regular
''buzzard's nest"
Yet here, amid all these discouraging sur
roundings, Justice rears her throne, and adjusts
differences between man and man. On last
Thursday young man had Officer Tom Grit
fths brought before the Squire charged with
striking the young man some twenty times
with q mace. The fact was, neither the plaintiff
nor the Court could perhaps have told mace
from boot-jack, had it been placed before
them. Tom was brought in, snd Officer Jared
Martin called as a witness. Jared demanded
his fees.
"Oh - the fees! We'l see bout er fees ter
morrer" replied His Honor.
Just as the Court was getting the machinery
of Justice in motion again, DR.. Scott entered
the room, when His Honor called on the officers
to prevent "Scotty'' from disturbing the peace,
quiet and good order of the public peace of that
sbuzzard's nest"
The Dr. persistipg in talking with his friends
in the room, the Court ordered him to Jail, and
ordered the Marshal to take charge of him.
But as the court was GOO uTunh W WTite du VI
der or read printed Mittimus, there was poor
show for getting "Scotty" into Jail.
While the Court was thus administering
Justice, some evil-minded sinner or sinners
slipped into her private apartments and drank
up all her liquor and when the whisky gave
out the machinery of that Court refused to run.
Finally DIR. Scott discharged the prisoner, when
the Court ordered the prisoner to stand COM
mitted under 500 bond, and ordered "Scotty'' to
JAIL Both walked out. The Court attempted
| to do the same but she was too drunk to walk
| She tumbled out and thus ended the trial OF
! the terrible cooper who had beaten poor fel-
| low twenty lcks with a mace.
This young Justice has been ruined by the
| doggeries. A young man of fine business quail
! ifications, with promise of a bright future
before him. he fell into the snares of the Devils
Agents, and rapidly went down until now hi
Court is laughing stock, and disgrace to tn,
| community. Yet the DEVILS Agents sell hin
their slops right along, drunk or sober, as lonl
| as he has the means to pay fer them.
Here is a Court-which the people have
| right to presume is Court of Justice-to which
| the people look for the trial of importan
causes, turned into q horrible, sickening mock
cry. And what for? Simply that some lov
beast of doggery-k keeper may pocket a littl
money without working for it. Let us Iool
with charity at the unfortunate victim of thes
dens of infamy, and turn our attention to tn
wiping out of the dens themselves.
