OUR NATIONAL FLOWER.
The Golden Rod as the Floral Emblem of
 the American Republic.

Boston and vicinity, where so many wise and good people reside, are agi- tating the question of selecting Ma tional nower-a floral emblem of the American Republic Science seems to favor the high-standing, graceful gold en-rod, of hardy growth and artistic plumagc l. is agreed by botanists, florists and poets that of all the wild flowers, the roldcu-rod comes nearer to being peculiarly indigenous to this country and to being ubiquitous in all the States than any other, and that 1t is. therefore, entitled 10 the honorable distinction of being selected as tho symbol of our nationality.
 The furh-ia has always impressed us us the daisy" Of all the flowers, but, with all its grace of form and beauty of color, it has an unfortunate habit of hanging its pretty head down toward the ground. as if it were either afraid or ashamed of something, and neither causeless fear nor causelcss sham e Is q characteristic of the United States or its people.
 And perhaps il will be as easy for our people to concentrate their pref orence4 upon the goldcn-rod as upon any other flower. The May-nower is entitled to consideration, but it is ob- jectcd to because of its modesty and shadiucss. The goldeu-rod is lacking in fragrance, it is true, and is not spe- cially beautiful, but it is n familiar friend; every body knows it when he sees it, and nobody that we are aware of has any thing against it-no preju- dice, no grudge, no malice It stands proudly upright, like q plumed knight; it comes in late, aud Is in no great hurry to leave after getting here; it withstauds wind and storm right brave- ly. and bows its yellow head in digni- fec courtesy to all the world
 The goldon-rod is a genuine Ameri- can, and as such, if it Is destined to the post of honor. let us bid it well come The otiiee-seeking politician may put up his lightning-rod;" tho schoolmaster may have a rod in pickle" for the unruly small boy in his jurisdictions; and the magician may with his diving-rod attempt to "call spirits from the yasty deep" but givo to Yunkocdom the golden-rod as tho floral symbol of its dignity, grace and II not why not? Oscar Wilde has immortalized the sun-nower as the mark of the dude. Why can not those of us who are not dudes set up as the posy of our National worship a flower that is dudj,h neither in as. pcct nor pratcnsiou tho goldon-rod? Chicago Journal

Ke dabic Comments on Three Importans
 Earm Topics.


 Farm Topics.
 Much has been said in regard to tho feeding of cattle and the various ways of preparing food But mischief IS done by leaving out of the question the differences in the various conditions under which cattle are fed. In some cases one way may be the best that would be the worst in others. No doubt grinding grain is economical for cows and for a house-reared steer which is fed for farmers domestic supply of meat. But when a number ot cattle are fed the labor of feeding meal and of tying up the animals in stalls eats up the profit, especially now that stock are so low in price. l am feed- ing number of beevcs, both young and mature. and have found that un- husked corn is better liked by the stock and is more economical feeding than meal. The cattle eat moro, di- gest the food better, make more growth, and are easily managed. Even yearlings do better upon this cheap food.
 The question of open-air feeding as compared with tight and warm barns year fed twenty head of cattle in a lot by themselves through the winter on hay. with a small quantity of ear corn. They were never under roof, and have ranged in wood all sum- mcr. A few weeks ago l brought three steers of this lot into a comforta- bic barn, and put them in stalls to be fattened. They all lost appetite, be- came restless, and lost weight rapidly. and after months trial they were turned out again. The habits of the cattle and several other circumstances must be considered before the feeder can proftably adopt new methods or apply what are known as scientific practices, And as regards the matter of warmth, it is unquestionable that an animal tied in a barn at temperature of forty degrees will be very much colder than one in the open air in a sheltered lot ut twenty degrees lower temperature.
 Another very common impression prevailing among those who write for the instruction of farmers, but which Is opposed 10 the experience of some Is that good stock is always salable. y What Is good stockP Generally it is supposed to be the pure bred or crosses of it, and which are consequently cost ly. But more truly, good stock con- sists of those kinds of animals that arc the best suited for the circumstances in which they are kept and for the purposes of the owners. Scrub cattle making 900 or 600 pounds of beef are stock for some places, and the com mon run of cows that can be sold for beef at any time are often more profit able than the most costly Jerseys. have a lot of common cows that l can sell readily for $20 to 80. My next neighhor has lot of pedigree Jersey COWS which cost him an average oi s2O0 each He is vainly offering calves for $20 each. It is clear that 1 have the best stock for the locality and cir cumstanccs, although elsewhere il might be the worst. In considering all such questions it must not be for 1 gotten that circumstances alter cases always N r Times.

of Washington, D. c., and he had eluded the
shrewdest of the government Post Office and Sc
retservice detectives for upwards of year. For
eight months one man had done nothing else
but follow the forger-physician and the chase
had been to all parts Of the United States,

Moody was arrested was the forgery Of
$500 draft, which he passed on Washington
