Cows.-A cool, dark, clean stable for
the cows is, Tor many reasons, prefera-
bic TO hot pasture i'm the middle Of
the day. Cows that have been kept up
on moderate feed will shrink in their
mix on being turned into luxurious
pasture on hot day. Dry earth or
sand makes a better bedding than straw
during the hot season.

\ CAUTION To FARMERS. -Farmcrs in this
willy gang of sharpers who are going about
seeking whom they may devour D" They
have thus far been operating south of u.s. but
will probably visit these parts in due time.
The swindle which they are engaged in per-
pctraiing is briefly described as follows: \
pretended agent of the cooperative fertilizer
company induces some wcll-to-do tiller of
the soil TO take an agency for the town or
county in which he resides. and in payment
of the valuable position he is induced to give
a note for $3.50, payable to his own order.
which. however. the maker is assured is of
no value until endorsed by him, and
that such endorsement will not be requested
unless the fertilizer proves perfectly
satisfactory. Then the reverse side of the
note is presented, and the unsuspecting
farmer is prevailed upon 10 sign his name to
a printed statement that he is worth a certain
amount of personal and real property, and
that the said note is in full payment of every
demand between himself and the fertilizer
company, AMI further that it is given for
goods purchased of said company. As the
pretended agent has made arrangements
with the farmer To ship the latter Il quantity
of the fertilizer, the signature is easily Sc
cured, and then the peculiarly endored note
is negotiated at the first favorable oppor-
