THE NUMBER AND VAL UE OF
FARM ANIMALS IN the UNIT
Ed STATES.

The anxiously expected annual re-
port by the Agricultural Department,
of the number and value of farm ami
mails in the United States on January
LIST, 1889. has at last been published.
The special interest in this report at
the present time grew out of the hope
that it might throw some light on the
important question as to whether the
heavy marketing of cattle in the west
for the last two years had decreased
the number, or whether the heavy
marketing of 1883 was but the normal
crop which might be expected in the
future. The aggregate number of
farm animals ON farms and ranches,
but not including those in towns and
cities, as compared with the number
on January LIST, 1888, is given by the
report as follows:

A prominent politician from the

gentleman, he has been president Of

now he is department commander OF

Hoxie Democrat: "Of all the pusil-
luminous railroad companies in the
world, the l.. & c. takes the cake.
They have now taken their porters off
and make the conductors do all the
work from one end of the train to the
other, and then when a theatrical
troupe wants to have their baggage
transported from one point to another
they give a conductor thirty days for
hauling it. If an accident should
happen it would 60 hard with the COM
pany. for they are running their trains
short-handed, and would have to pay
dearly"
You folks at HOxie seem to be using
strange methods to obtain the division
of that same road. At the present
time the L. & c. Co. are running trains
over their line at dead expense, and
yet you seem to want to fight even
their adjustment of economical mat
tiers. That Hoxie has any connection
with the outside world at all except by
stage, is owing to this same company.

SOLDIERS IN THE CABINET.

President Harrison was pleasan,
soldier and naturally sets much store
by the friendship of his old comrades.
While he evidently had no such pur.
pose in view as to especially honor
them, it nevertheless happens that a
majority of his cabinet. like himself,
served in the union army.
The Presidents military record may
be briefly stated as follows: At the
outbreak of the rebellion he raised a
company, was commissioned Second
Lieutenant, then Captain. and then
Colonel of the Seventeenth Indiana.
At Resaca, Colonel Harrison was for
gallantry brevetted Brigadier General
and later on for his gallantry at Peach
Tree Greek, where he led his CON-
mand through the enemy and back
again, he was made brigadier in full
commission.
Secretary Proctors war record is as
follows: Enlisted in 1861 in the Third
Vermont Volunteers, became success
sively Lieutenant on the staff of Gen.
eral William F. (''Baldy'') Smith, a
Major in the Fifth Vermont, and Col
onel of the Fifteenth Vermont.
Secretary Tracy recruited the 1O9th
and 18th New York regiments, and
of the 1O9th he was made Colonel. At
the close of the war he was made a
Brevet Brigadier General.
Secretary Noble enlisted in 1861 as
private IN the Third iowa Cavalry, and
was in many desperate fights. rising
from the ranks step by step until he
became Colonel.
Secretary Miller was in the army
but short time. He served as pri-
vate in the Ohio regiment commanded
by Judge Lawrence, of Bellefontaine.
While in the service, however, he con-
tracted a severe sickness which COM
PEELED him to resign, and he has never
enjoyed robust health since.
Secretary Rusk entered the army in
July, 1862, having been elected major
of the 25th Wisconsin. He was bre-
vetted Brigadier General for his gal
lantry at the battle of Saukahatchie,
and was mustered out of service in
June, 1865. During his congression-
al life he was chairman of the COM
mittee on Pensions.
Of the remaining members of the
cabinet, Blaine and Window we're in
congress throughout the rebellion,
Mr.. Wananaker alone appearing at
the disadvantage of having been too
much absorbed in business to enter
the service of the government in some
crpacity, military or civil. He was
about twenty-three when the war
broke out.

Interesting 9tatlstioo.
Rev. s. Daw. rector of Christ church
n Bsllville, Ont, recently delivered .
speech which cannot fail to be Of in
terest to Odd Fellows. Following are
extracts from the reports published
by The Dominion Odd Fellow:
The reverend gentleman believed
that Odd Fellowship was the greatest
order in the world, and it outnumber-
ed in membership all others by half q
million people.
It was a secret and benevolent in
stitution that was doing glorious
work. In Ontario the membership
had been rapidly increasing of late,
as the order seemed now to be enjoy
ing an era of unprecedented prosper
ity. The total membership in the pro-
vince was at the close oflast year 1880.
Odd Fellowship, he said, was prosper
GUS because of its many blessings TO
mankind. The beautiful ritual of the
order, as it is now exemplifed. brings
forcibly to mind new and startling
truths. The order was increasing in
membership, not by hundreds, but by
thousands, and strange as it may
seem, Notwithstanding this growth in
numbers, the death rate was decreas-
ing. This showed, to his mind, that
the doctors were more careful in their
examinations and the order more par
ticular about the character Of the can
didates for initiation. This was q
good omen for even greater success
in the future.
In 1883 Odd Fellowship cost each
member s3.O4; in 1887, 3.64' This
was low rate for each member, yet
look at the blessings bestowed upon
the sick and the dying, the widow and
the orphan! During the years from
1857 to 1877 the membership increas-
ed fairly we'll. In 81 there was only
Is lodges in Ontario with a member
ship of 73S. In 1877 there were It's
lodges, and the initiation increased
from 200 to 1000. From II to '88
the lodges increased in number until
the order has a membership of $1,000
in Ontario alone. The order, he has
no hesitation in saying, has gained
this status by its true virtues and
benefit to mankind. The relief which
the order granted could not be esti-
mated alone by dollars and cents, but
by those who had been helped in their
hour of trial. But the published re-
turns showed that the pecuniary
assistance, granted to the brethren
amounted to *26, 534-not given as
charity, but as the brethren's rights
in time of sickness-and this only
cost each member $1.73; 315 widows
received $12,9S6, while 76 orphans
were provided for at a cost to each
member of the order of 81 cents.

For the above bill of 1860 we took in
exchange middling cotton at 81 cents per
pound. The price of middlings in 1888
was between 3 and ten cents a pound.
Under that low tariff we bought all our
plaids and similar things of northern
mills. Under the present high tariff we
buy every yard of our plaids, jeans. sheet
ings. drills and similar goods in the south
and from southern mills. The same rates
of reduction apply to almost everything
used now by the farmers of Mississippi.
