Spring and Summer Feed for Mich
Cows.

There is great difference Of opin-
ion among dalrymen in reference to
the kinds of grain best adapted to
milch cows in Spring. Dairymen
generally suit their own convenience
in this matter, without much regard
to the opinion of others. If they
have raised and have on hand sur
plus of corn, or barley, or oats, they
are very apt to feed one or the
other as best suits their convenience
at the time; and if grain is to be pur-
chased, the matter of prices has more
Of a controlling influence than what
is best adapted to the animal econo-
my. So widely do people differ on
this question that many prefer to
feed in Spring nothing but hay, if Of
good quality, claiming that the COWS
will be healthier when turned to
grass, and that the net profits
from the dairy will be greater than
where gram is used in Spring feed
ing. In other words, that the value
of the grain fed in Spring more than
balances receipts from the extra quail
ity Of cream and butter produced;
and hence grain feeding in Spring
must be very poor economy. An
other class of dairymen, who claim
to have looked pretty closely to the
profits to be realized from mich
cows, and to have compared results
one year with another, say that moth
ing is gained by having cows "comc
in milk as early as February or
March. They prefer the months of
April and May, as not only more
agre cable, but actually resulting in
greater profits. They argue that
cows "coming in milk early in the
season are more exposed to cold and
storms which must injure the health
and weaken the constitution of the
animal; that it sooner wears out the
COW, and yields no more net profit
than when later date is had for
commencing the business of dairy
ing. Why, they say, should one do
extra work in milking stock through
the bad weather of February and

The Keosauqua Republican, of Jan.

"Since the finding of the grand jury

Court, and while Maj. Fletcher was
at every opportunity sending mes.
sages to Miss Brown, offering induce
mcnts to her to again desert her
friends for his sake, he was at the
same time engaged in moulding pub
lie opinion at his recent home in Fair
field to his favor and to the disgrace
of the lady whose life of virtue he had
destroyed. He did not stop at his will.

every effort in his power attempted to
des troy the good name of her friends
and relatives in this county, and SC
constant was his labor in this direc.
ton employed that his invented sto-
ries became familiar to our whole
people. This kind of altogether
with his past crime, served to incite
the brother of Miss Brown to the act
of violence and crime caused by his
(Fletcher's) own election. He did not
stop at the destruction of the good
name of Miss Brown; he did not hes
itate to destroy the good name OF
others; but he even went so far as to
assume the name of her own brother
and to-day, in his own handwriting
his name can be found upon his board

the manwho killed him."

Say, young man, you want to go to
wah, do you? You are thirsting for
goah, you say? Well, then, let us
give you little advice free gratis for
nothing. Go into camp in the back
yard clear away the snow, and pitch
your dog tent; turn in at night with
a little straw, and rubber blanket
under, and one wooden blanket over
you. Get lousy blanket if you can.
Get up in the storm at daylight and
stand around until the orderly calls
the roll. Then get you an old oyster
can and make your coffee in it, over
a smoking out doors log fire. Then
get your frying-pan and fry your
sow-belly in an ocean Of grease. BE
careful to get old rancid sow belly.
Then be ready with two or three
pieces of hard tack, harder than a pine
board, and wormy at that and then
sit down to this sumptuous repast.
Then repeat for dinners:and supper
except with the occasional luxury OF
beans for dinner. Then fall in and
drill all day. Occasionally, for a
change, walk guard all night in the
snow, or get up suddenly about the
time you get to sleep, and fall in
to repel the enemy. Or, for an inter
esting variety, fall in, say at four in
the morning, without breakfast, and
march in the snow all day and all
night down to Keokuk or up to Des
Moines, with the blood running Out
of your feet, subsisting in the mean
time by maunching a hard tack.
Try this for month, and then tell
us how you like it as far as you have
got, and then we will give you anoth.

ARRESTED.

Mr.. James j. Brooks, the present
very efficient Chief of the Secret
Service Division of the Treasury De-
partment. at Washington, has arrest
ed q Treasury clerk-F. D. Winslow-
charged with the recent stealing of a
$4,000 package of money from the
Treasury. He has, moreover, secur-
ed all the money except a tri1ing
SUN.
Winslow was formerly q clerk in
the bankink house of Gelpcke s. Co.,
of Dubuque, after which he went to
Chicago and established the Scandi-
navian LIST National Bank of that
city, which subsequently failed.
Winslow was a Scandinavian, and
an uncommonly expert man in clcri-
cal accounts connected with the
banking business. He was employ
ed in the cash room of the Treasury,
and adroitly substituted a package of
brown paper for the $4,000 package
of money which was about to be cx-
pressed to Chicago bank.
Brooks and his men had Winslow
under surveillance from the start,
and the capture of the thief and mon
cy is highly creditablc and satisfac-
tory.
