The "Muley Cow" Simply Freak o

Everyone is familiar with the ami
nal which. in the country districts o.
America, is called the ''rauley cow OF
Is it is sometimes spelled the moody
cow" She Is an animal without horns.
Generally she has not lost them, but
has never had them. She has the rep
utation of being a very good mich cow,
but particularly ill-natured
Though at least one .'muley cow
may be found in most large herds, in a
great part of the country, and though
pollod cattle, as hornle4s cattle are also
called, are sometimes exhibited. at
fairs, it has never, probably, occurred
to anyone until lately that race of
hornless cattle ought to be bred or de-
veloped on account Of q greater econ
omy in raising and nourislling them.
Such a notion, however, has been
preached by an American cattle-raiser.
He maintains that, in raising young
horned cattle, and, for that matter, in
keeping grown-up cattle, a considerable
share of the nutrimcnt given them goes
to their horns.
The same gentleman argues that the
horns OF domestic cattle are u relic of
barbarisnl-a survival OF a means of
defense associated with wild life, and
arc now nc only no longer needed, but
positively 1nischievous. The horned
bullies of q herd get more and the
weaker ones less than their share of
the fodder.
But how are the horns to be got rid
of? Regularly cutting off the horns of
young cattle will not prevent subse-
quent generations of youna, catttlo from
developing horns as they grow to ma 4
turity, any more than the shaving of
mems boards for many generations
makes men beardless.
There is q way, however, in which it
could be done. 4 certain proportion OF
cattle turn out to be hornlcss. If only
igch cattle were used to breed from,
great proportion OF their
offspring would be hornless, and in the
course of time race of uniformed cat |
tie would be produccd-among which,
however, individuals with horns would
be even more common than
lornless cattle arc now.
Demonstration has undoubtedly re-
uccd the size of cattle's horns consiG-
rably. Under donestication, tho horns
re much less used, and consequently
re inferior; but they are not got rid of
together except in rare cases, and
hen seemingly only by a freak of ma

A Speck of Inside Politics.

FRosTBuRG MD. March II, 1891
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Acting under the Instructions of the
Captain we have been pitching into
Human and the Court House Ring for
a good while, but it does not seem to
produce much effect, except among us
"kickers," and we are all right any
how.
We can't work the old soldier racket
on Luman because he was better SOL
der and saw more real war than the
Captain did. 1t is true he didn't get to
be Captain and didn't look as we'll on
horseback or dress parade as the Cap
tain did, but the records show that the
Captain didn't get a commission until
the war was over, and then only had
the distinguished Office two months
and that when the Captain was in the
army he was where beans and crackers
were est-quartermaster sergeant,
while Luman was always at a post of
danger. But every person isn't going
to read the records, and if the Captain
don't give it away we can still work it
for awhile.
But we want to inform the two
m 0 n s-after-the- war-ended-C Captain
that We think we have got the plan
that will pull us through. We are GO
ing to work the "dodo" racket through
out the county There is AN estimable
gentleman up here holding a prominent
position who does not care to be clerk,
but who will play "dodo" for us so
that we can go into the convention
with these two and maybe Pompey and
the Shaft-I'm afraid of Eckhart-os-
tensibly for the "dodo," and when the
Captain gives us the wink the "dodo'
Captain can find a 'dodo' for clerk in
'Cony, and fill in a few "dodos" for
other offices in some of the other dis
tricts, we can pull him through for the
nomination, but after that he must
look out for himself.
With the Captain as our rallying
point and chairman of the kickers
committee, we downed McComas, and
a good job we made of it, too, but the
McCcmas people up here and down at
Eckhart have a knife in their boots for
the Captain If he ever gets On ticket.
We must beat Luman, even if we
have to sacrifice the Office of Clerk of
the County to do it. He has been
there long while; has made clerk
par excellence has been pleasant and
agreeable to everybody, republican
and democrat alike, and if he should
get the nomination he would receive
two democratic votes to every one re-
publican we could cut him so we
must get "dodos' to beat him.
1t is the duty of every true repub.
lican who voted against McComas ard
thereby indicated the Captain in his
sacrifice of party and principle for
post-office to stand by him in this fight.
The Captain never had an Office but
that wasn't his fault. There never was
an occasion offered that he didn't try
to get one, no matter how small, and
the people are tired of his constant
though unsuccessful efforts. He cant
be elected clerk, bur he can, with our
assistance and organization. elect a
democrat. just as we elected McKaig.
Get "dodos" and Luman is beaten.

cessful office-seeker. DODO.
