illness nor healthtulness can be secured
without regular brushing of the skin
and the removal of all the filth which

The morning cleaning should be a

Cattle Statistics.

Ohio has 100000 head of cattle,
making 24.8 head to the square mile.
Iowa has $50 to the mile, Illinois 26,
New York Is, and Texas 1879. For
the United States at large this is
head for each $40 acres. Germany
has 80 per square mile, Great Britain
81. In the United States there are
three head of cattle for each four in
habitants, while in Europe there is
only one animal for each six persons.
This tells the story better than a whole.

of our meats and why in the future she
will continue to do so. In this coun-

on the plains, is much faster than the

reverse is found to be true. Viewed

Use the Brush on the Cows.

Few persons consider the skin as
an excretory organ. 1t is supposed
to be-by those who think at all
merely protecting covering for the
muscles and animal frame, and some
thing for the outer protective coat of
hair, or fur, or wool, or feathers, to
grow upon. But the skin is really the
most important outlet for the waste
matter OF the whole body of an animal.
1t is by no means tight covering, but
contains myriads of pores or openings,
through which watery vapor escapes,
and with which also escapes a large
quantity of impure matter from the
blood. At times, the skin discharges
a large quantity of liquid matter,
which we call perspiration, and it is
always discharglng moisture, which
escapes insensibly At least. the skin
does this when in healthy condition,
and when this excretlon stops, it is an
Indication that something is wrong.
Besides this, the skin is constantly
changing it's substance; the outer por-
tions scale off, or exfoliate, while it is
renewed from within; so that in course
of short time, the whole skin wears
away and is renewed. Where the skin
is covered with hair, these scales are
apt to gather and with the perspiration
to become compacted into mass,
stopping the pores and preventing the
the escape Of the waste matter, which
being retained in the blood, does much
harm. For these reasons, constant
attention should be given to the skin.
brushing it, both to remove the ex-
foliated matter and the dried prespira-
ton, and to excite it to healthful action
should not be neglected. Horses, as a
rule, are fairly we'll attended to, be-
cause it is custom to curry and
brush them regularly. But in many
cases, they are not sufficiently cleaned;
consequently their health is impaired.
The skin becomes clogged, and the
perspjration is retained in the blood,
producing more or less plood-poison-
ing, which may result in variety OF
disorders, at times producing farcy,
which ends in CHAMBERS. At best, the
coat becomes harsh. dry, and staring:
the skin is tight, or, as it is called,
/ ''hide-bound." and becomes irritated,
producing itching, with perhaps the
loss of hair. Eruptions on the skin
and pimples, and perhaps the we'll
known Scratches" result from the re
tention of these impure matters. II
avoid all these troubles. the hors,
should be thoroughly brushed with .
stiff. clean brush, for at least tel
minutes, morning and night; and il

Our country is overrun with Indians,

Caleb Cushing.

When Caleb Cushing was nominated
a minister to Spain, and afterward as
chief Justice OF the United States, he
hailed from Virginia, by virtue of his
proprietorship of the Glebe, a small
farm about seven miles from Washing
ton, where he used to pass Sundays.
Mr.. Cushing's temperament was
like that of all men who work logged
ly-intense and preoccupied. and
prone to 90 to all lengths. He had it
in his power IN Pierce's cabinet to re-
wise his character or the historical
estimate of it. and serve that admins
tration as we'll as his own fame. He
did nothing of the kind. The southern
influences in the cabinet used him, as
a northern man, to do all the disagree
able work, such as suppressing news
papers in the mails, anticipating con-
trovertible decisions by opinions, etc.
He worked for that part of the union
which he did not live IN, and got even
more opprobrium than before in that
part where he must stay. AS ccnse-
luence his application for a commits
sion in the northern army was repulsed,
and as early as 1868 he shook the dust
Of Massachusetts from his feet and
chose home at the age of threescore
and three in the midst of the forti-
fcations on the Virginia shore. He
| now attended wholly to the law and
increased his very very respectable
widower's fortune.
But tough constitution and tena-
| cious faculties doomed our old attor-
ney to third wrestle with public life,
in which, as usual, he was beaten
again. His acquaintance with Sidney
Webster, son-in-law of Secretary Fish,
and also ex-secretary to Frank Pierce,
threw him into intimate relations with
the state department, the head where
| If, MIR. Fish, was q senator when
Cushing was attorney general. Here
ne performed a great deal of hard
work, none of it very superior in quail
ity, but logged and passable, and he
had reached very good position with
the press and public when the presi-
dent did him the despite to name him
tor chief justice.
The consequence was almost start
ling. His record was unrolled. Fair
speaking turned to bitter upbraiding.
Now the man who had spent SO many
years of his life suspended between
two parties was probably glad to escape
from both to his old retirement and
private occupation. There was nc
lesson in this life nor its episodes. I,
was, perhaps, a strong illustration o.
the adage: 1.-The more haste the less
| speed. "-Boston Budget.
