THE ALIEN IDEA OF VOTING.
Foremost Consideration Il What Ii
Going to Be Paid for
the Vote.

Clinton Scollard, the poet, mar.
rated the other day an incident
that does not speak very well for
modern politics, says the New
York Tribune.
"A friend Of mine," said Mr..
scollard, sis the principal Of a city
school. He gathered the school
children before him in the Assem-
bly, room one day last month, and
he told them that he wanted them
to vote on a national flower.
"sFrance has a national Aowcr,'
be said. 1T Ii the lily. England's
national flower Ii the rose, Japan'a
Is the chryHanthemum; but We
we of this great big land Of Amer
iea--have no national flower at all
Little slips Of paper are TO be
handed about now, and each Of you
Ia to vote for the flower that you
think best suited for Americas
national emblem
"The youngsters began 10 think
earnestly, and the paper slips we're
distributed. Back near the door.
however, a little Italian boy was
all this time making n good deal II
disturbance. lie seemed 10 b. Or
guing heatedly with the boys
around him-seemed 10 be dlssnad
ing them from some course %
other.
my friend noticed the noise. ia
called before him one Of the Ital
ian boys Beighbors, and he asked
what the trouble back there was.
"'Why.' was the answer, Tietfo
doesn't want any Of ~ to vote yet,
and he says be isn't going 10 vote
yet himself lie says people never
vote Till they find out how much
they are 10 be- paid'7

STOCK AM FARM NOTES.

o. Barnes, u prominent stockman
OF CentralIa, was here this week on
business.
Bert Luckie, who for the last sever
al months has conducted q training
stable at Montgomery City, has re-
turned TO his home in this city and
will condition q small but select string
Of horses for the spring trade. II
Commission men state that the
highest price ever known for eggs
Is in sight for this winter, and before
next spring housewives 10 the large
cities will have paid as high as 500 per
dozen.
The sale Of home-bred Sborthorn
cattle conducted by TO. Bolts Thurs
day at bis farm north Of this city was
only fairly well attended aud offerings
sold accordingly. MI. Bolts is promi-
ncntly identified with the stock inter
csts OF this county and his herd OF
pure bred shorthorns rank among the
the best.
A deal 10 hogs that has attracted
much attention among stockmen was
recently corsummated between g. u.
Sims and Henry CANT both promi-
nent stock dealers OF Thompson. Mr.
Sims Is to pay Mr.. Cant 81 cents for a
carload OF hogs for each month Of the
coming year, the hogs TO be delivered
the first fifteen DAYS OF each month,
Cattle prefer rusted wheat straw.
This was discovered In Australia some
years ago when cattle we're seen to
neglect the regular bag chat for the
paddock OF rusted wheat. IL has been
found by feeding tests that the rust
in the wheat in no way injurio1sly af-
fects the animal feeding upon it. The
opposite effect has been experienced.
Cattle prefer the straw itself.
Bert Sims, Of Fulton, and ]. M,
| Price, Of Vandaiia, have formed a
partnership TO breed, develop and
train horses. Mr.. Sims is one Of the
best trainers in Missouri and with
Mr.. Prices fifteen years or experience
In the horse business the firm will be
a strong one. Mr.. Price will at once
begin the construction Of a commod.
ius and up-to-date stable at vandalia
for the use OF the firm.
Charley Anderson, manager OF Col.
Green Clay's fine farm In Sailing town
ship, this county, has established an
enviable reputation as a feeder Of cat.
tie The sales from bis feed pens this
winter lead all accomplishments OF
any feeder in the country this year.
His first shipment sold for 81, the first
cattle of the year bringing that
money. His second shipment won
ribbons In the fat stock show and sold
for $3.50 and 1856. His third ship
ment made last week brought 500 on
what was said to be the lowest cattle
market day Of the year. Thus his !
loads of cattle brought on an average
, of 81. 1874 per hundred.
