THE ALBATROSS. Thé fembesi plays on tautened stays, The canvas drips with sleet; The ghostly things on flashing wings Agaihstths Waither bsat—< Abolit the pouring scuppers wheel. And With the topmasts pitch and feel. The straining craft, swept fore and aft, Dips in the fitful moon; The ocean roars on iron shores, The night is black and soon; And these are phantoms of the dead That swoop and flutter overhead. What grewsome tales of tattered sails, Of sunken ships, they know; Of vessels blown to seas unknown, A. hundred years ago; Of every lost, unshrlveri fioul The currents sweep from pole to pole. Oh! spirits swift of storm and drift, Of seas of smothering spray.— The timbers groan, the breakers moan, The light is far aw.ay.— Spread out your wings upon the deep, And let the wearied sailor sleep! Charles Allen, in Sports Afield If the cook should cdnciude that the trouble of salting oqr food is all unnecessary, or that if we require it at all, once, each .week is sufficiently often, she would undoubtedly meet With a vigorous protest from all con cerned. What reason is there, either in theory or practice, to lead us to sup pose that our dumb animal friends are less sensitive to such irregular ities? ■■ The writer remembers well that with every Sunday morning in his boyhood days came the duty of giv ing both cattle-and horses a handful of salt.

Safety of passengers is a secondary consideration. Every old hulk that can be used, is pressed into ser vice, regardless of old boilers and Worm-eaten timbers.

Yet she' continued in the service, If the truth was known, no doubt other vessels may prove unsafe, and we may expect to hear of mfire dis asters later On. it seems that, even American built ships and that eVen American com manders of our war vessels may have accidents befall their com mands? The recent destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor was doubtless due to the Carelessness of one of thé officers of the Maine. It is very improbable that any attempt bn" the part of over-zealous Span iards to destroy the Maine would be as successful as this affair seems to be. . X . Partisan politicians dread nothing.So much as mugwumpery, the breaking of ’party lines. But inugwumpery, in its essence, is nothing but life chipping the egg shell of death; spirit superseding formula. Its* exponents are not .always the wisest or tiid best men in the community; their aims may Often be personal and selfish; but the principle on which they act is In the abstract always benflcent. If We Would see the result of a civiliza tion devoid of mugwumpery, we have but to look at China—the standing example of arrested devel opment in the modern wofid.

Last season was an unusually good one for the dairymen in Cooscounty Patrons of the creameries never be fore have done so well. The Co quille creamery patrons received 32) cents per pound for their batter fat. The coming Reason has every prospect of being a good one, and the Coquille , preamery expects a larger milk supply than ever. Adam M. Stevens, the president of the Washington Dairy Associa tion, has a herd of registered jerseys which, for the past year, produced 6,323'hounds of milk yielding 411.5 pounds of butter,making an average earning per Sow, of $68.92. This is a clear illustration "of the profit of keeping good cows . Low markets cannot make such cows produce but ter at a loss,-—Hoard’s Dairyman. Think of this some of you farmers who find things are not moving ex actly right, in spite of yonr best ef forts at raising grain. That Jersey cows will and do give quantity ,(as much as scrubs commonly do in this country) as well as quality, is a fact not -to be disputed. This can be proven to the most skeptical by ex amples- found right in t his town. Several years ago we. raised a number of calves by hand, and (Un2 knowingly) fed and Faised them by good methods, as laid down by authority for raising a milch cow, viz.) they were never too ,fat. ’ To those who predicted a complete fail ure» we would invite to just call around and make a cothparison with their best cows that were allow ed to suck the mother when young, and kept in such fine fettle. Sour feed is not good for hogs, that is, not as good as feed that is not spur.

Some breeders claim that gotir feed is a lingering ptiisort, and otily by the hogs ter rible constitution is he able to make any profit at all On such stuff. It is unnatural and ¡contrary ttìfeaSon.
