ctioneer. delivered the following
enlogy on the COW. The production

strand and noble brute! To her
We owe the most. Examine into all
the different channels Of commerce
into which she enters and note the
result should she be blotted out. "A
Sunday stiffness would then pre-
wade the great stock yard industries
OF our cities and grass would grow
ia our streets. Fifty per cent, at
least, OF the freight that now plows
the continent from ocean to ocean
would be sidetracked, for then there
would be nothing for them to do.
Fifty per cent of the laborers would
draw no pay on Saturday night.
Cur tables would be bare of the
greatest luxuries with which they
are now covered. Oh! YOU will
abuse COW. I wish that [, as you
are about to sit down to the noon
day meal, might slip up and remove
from your table what the COW has
placed thereon. I would take the
cup OF milk waiting at baby chair;
"a take the cream, the cheese, the
butter, the custard pie, the cream
buiscuit, the steak, the smoking
roast Of beef, and leave you to make
a meal Of potatoes, beets, pickles
and toothpicks.
g. It's the self same COW that made
the great western plains to blossom
like the rose and were it not for her
they would revert to the Indians
from whence they came.
! None others like the COW! There
/ isSnot thing from nose to tail but
what is utilized for the use of man.
| We use her horns to comb our hair,
her hair keeps the plaster on our
/ walls, her hoofs make glue, her tail
lmakes soup, she gives US our milk,
Eosas, cream, sonr cheese and butter,
land her flesh is the great meat 81
our nation; her blood is used to
make our sugar white, her bones
lare ground to fertilize our soils, and
even her paunch she herself has put
through the first chemical process
necessary for the prod Of The
best white card board paper, and
now they have discovered that such
paper can be made into the finest
quality of false teeth.
No other animal works for. man
both night and day. By day she
gathers food and when weare asleep
at night she brings it back to re.
chew and convert it into all things
of which I speak.
She has gone with man from
Plymouth Rock to the setting sun
It was her sons that turned the first
sod in the settlers clearing; it was
her sons that drew the prairie
schooner for the sturdy pioneers as
inch by inch, they fought to prove
that Westward the star of empire
takes its way, and the old COW
grazing along behind and when the
days march was done she came and
gave the milk to fill the mothers
breast to feed the sucking babe
that was, perchance, to become the
ruler of his country. Who says
1 that much of what we are we do not
owe to mans best friend, the cowi
Treat her kindly, gently, for with.
out her words, fail to describe the
situation. Warren, ILL.,, Sentinel.
