A Cheap and servicesble Feeding Rack for

habits of sheep know that, above all
other animals, they are disposed TO 90

much waste, and they also fail to eat
as much and keep as well as though
their hay was kept clean.

long by two and a half wide and three
high, with tight board bottom. TO
four corner posts are nailed eight or
ten-inch boards at top and bottom-a
little distance from the ground, leaving
some sixteen inches between, across
which are nailed upright cight-inch
strips, leaving a space of some eight
inches between, through which the
sheep can put their heads.
Still enough hay would be worked
out for bedding; and this is quite a loss
when hay is high. To obviate thi.

THE BEST WAR HISTORY.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is daily rising
in popular estimation rs the best obtainable
history of the war. This is because it is no
one mans partial and prejudiced account
it is not a special panegyric of this or that
General, who is exalted as a demi-god at
the expense of all his associates and subor-
dinates-but it is the plain, unyarnished tes-
timony of the tens Of thousands of men
who carried the musksts that shot the life
out OF the rebellion, who trod the weary
marches, who dug the rile-pits, and who ex-
posed their bodies to the fiereeness of the
elements and the dangers of rebel shot and
shell. This testimony of " a cloud of wit
nesses has value that no individual MARIA
tive can have. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
is now subscribed for regularly by every
historical association, North and South, and
by most of the public libraries in all parts of
the country
IL is invaluable TO put into the hands of
children, who are eager to read the history
OF the great struggle, and every family which
has sons should have it. Boys will read
stories of adyenture-itis natural, healthy
taste-and il is infinitely better to provide
for them what is wholesome and instructive,
than to let them surfeit their minds with
the harmful stuff found in the majority of
the so-called boys books"
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE only costs TWO
CENTS A WEEK, so that every one can afford
to provide himself and his family with what
will make such rich returns.

CAPT. ]. G. BURROWS.

There Is in Congress no more earnest and
steadfast friend of the soldiers than Capt Julius
G. Burrows, Representative from the Fourth
District of Michigan. He was born in Erie
County, Pa, Jan. 8, 1897 After receiving a
common school aud academic education be
studied law and was admitted to the bar, locat-
ing in Michigan. When the war broke out he
espoused the Union cause with great zeal, de-
voting his energies largely to its support. An
eloquent speaker, he was of great assistance in
raising volunteers and giving to the State Of
Michigan her position in the front rank of the
loyal States for prompt and efficient response
to the calls for troops.
Not considering that his duty ended with
urging others to go, he went himself In the
Spring of 1862 he raised a company in Kslams-
zoo and Allegan Counties, and in July was

ment at Fredericksburg. In the Spring Of 1863
the 18th was transferred with Burnside's Corps
to the Western army. IL bore conspicuous
part in the battle Of Jackson. Miss, the siege
of Vicksburg, and q few months later in the
operations at and around Knoxville. During
these campaigns Capt. Burrows served on the
staff Of Gen. Welsh, who commanded a division
of the Ninth Corps and later on the staff Of
Gen. Ferrero. Capt. Burrows was always con-
spicuous for gallantry and efficiency in every
sphere of duty. He was one Of six brothers, all
Of whom served in the Union army.
After the war Capt. Burrows was elected
Prosecuting Attorney OF Kalamazoo County in
which capacity he served two years. In 1867
he was appointed Supervisor Of Internal Reve-
nue. for the States Of Michigan and Missouri,
bat declined the Office. He was elected to the
45d, 18th and 47th Congresses and in 1884 to the
10th. He is a fine orator, and commands the
attention OF the House whenever be rises to
speak. His voice has often been heard, and
his vote has always been recorded, in favor Of
the fullest measure of justice to the soldiers.
Elsewhere in this issue Of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE Is printed his able and eloquent
speech against Mr.. Morrison's odiOus PROPOSE
ton to levy an obnoxious tax for the payment
Of any additional pensions.
The National tribune., 1886-07-01

RATHER late in life the President resorts
TO wit and humor, and does not make happy
choice of topics. A disabled soldiers infrm-
titles can hardly be as good subject for fun
making as the regulation mother-in-law, the
family stove-pipe or the baseball umpire.
If he is really ambitious of reputation as a
humorist he might try the income-tax prop
osition. That has more ridiculous features
than anything else we can think of just al
present.
