Care of Cows Before and After Caly.
inXa

National Live Stock Journal
Our readers will remember that we
have ever advised generous feeding of
COWS through the winter, and generous
feeding through the whole milking sea-
son. We wish, however, to caution
those who feed well from feeding too
rich food for a week or so before calving,
and the same time after calving. 1t is
proper to prevent all excitement to the
system at this critical period, and, there
condition during the period of nom
lactation, should feed very sparingly just
before coming on, giving Only cooling
food. The food richest in muscle-form-
ing elements, and poorest in heat and
fat-forning elements, is called cooling
food. Nice clover hay malt sprouts), a
little bran, ETC., may be given, but no
food very rich in oil or starch But if a
pint of oil meal has been given through
the winter, no harm will come of con-
tinuing this small quantity, for this is a
cooling food and slightly loosening, but
must be given very cautiously near calv-
ing. After calving, the food should be
light and cooling. The oil meal may be
increased to quart, as IL is desired to
keep the bowels open. We never had
any trouble with COWS in cleaning when
fed pint of oil meal through the winter.
Simply hay and thin bran slop is sui.
ficient for six or eight days after calving,
as it is necessary to ward off all danger
of milk fever in heshy cows. After the
system has recovered from parturition,
then the food should be gradually in
creased up to full ration. A large
mixer draws heavily upon the food sup
ply, and, when all danger of milk fever
is passed, can make good use of all the
food she can digest and assimilate. And
when the COW comes up to her flush yield
of milk great effort should be made to
keep it up.

The Outlook.

The great contest il drawing la Il close,
work, and then the decisive battle will
be fought. We are frequently asked,
"W' * the prospect We answer
tina, wo lclicve lIancock and English
will hcvi, "tcd, that if clrctcd they will
lr n: ig''rrtcd. And we further be-
iieNe that heir election will result in
scs't H- 'tsing good {" the country.
" I"lf l.!a believe that under the
adm,s.i i-'rat'.u of Winfield Scott Ham
cock -. 'r'~ ben, of the United States,
the last - ' ID sectional hate and i'll
feeling wi o. orcver ohlilcrat,d. We
believe that our country will enter upon
a new era of prosperity.
We will give some of our reasons for
the faith that is in Us, why we believe
Hancock will l,e elected:
The paper, North have been prating
about the 4" Solid South" and have ad-
mittcd that lIancock will get the vote
of the southern States, this will give
him l5S votes. New York is Demo
cratic. and in addition Ia her Democrat
ic majority, Republican Hancock clubs
are formed all over the State Under
the leadership of such men as Leonard
Jerome they have made large inroads
in the Republican camp. "he enrolled
membership of the New York Republi-
can clubs now amounts To 10000 menu
bcrS, this, beyond doubt, in our opinion,
gives the State 10 Hancock, adding 81
10 the l3S of the solid south. New
jersey, with her . votes, and Connecti-
cut with 6 votes, are counted safe, max
ing iSS for Hancock
In Ohio the contest il doubtful, the
Republicans of course claiming the
State for Garfield, bat the Democrats
have backed on their armor, are keep
ing e their powder dry" and will con-
test every inch of ground and fight To
the last fo? Hancock and victory.
In Indiana the Republicans have
" foenlen worthy oi their steel, and
a bitter, fierce struggle is being waecd,
with the chances almost certain in favor
of Hancock and English. Indiaaa's ID
votes will swell the Number 10 303 votes.
ln Pennsylvania, too, the struggle il
by no means one-sidcd. Forney, Pear
son, and host of others, heretofore
acting with the Republicans, have join
cd the Hancock hosts, and from the
Old Keystone State come words of
cheer.
All along the line the camp-lires are
burning, and each day but adds 10 the
boom which is sure Ia culminate in the
triumphant election of Hancock and
English.

TnE Louisville Commercial of Sept.
@lst makes this statement: "rhe pub
lie Schools of Kentucky are all primary
except in louisville and perhaps two
other cities" We will call the atten-
tion of the G0B,n,crcim la the fact that
Hartford affords and provides for the
higher education of all the children of
the town. Hartford College is AN insti-
tuition chartered 10y the Legislature; has
a full and efficient faculty, a regular
college curriculum, and tuition for Ten
months o the year is absolutely free Ia
every white child who is LOaa fde
resident of the town OF Hartford. There
j. bow AN attendance of 22l students,
of whom li5 are residents of the town
and E6 are from abroad. Students.
from abroad are admitted on payment
of reasonable tuition charges, and quite
number avail themselves of the su-
perior advantages afforded at Hartford
College. The building is new, hand
somely built of brick, and furnished in
the latest and most approved style. The
people of Hartford and Ohio county are
proud of Hartford College. 1t places
Hartford in the front rank so far as re-
CARDS education in Kentucky; gives the
children as good opportunities as "Lou-
isville and perhaps two other cities"
We know the Commercial will make
the asacactc honorable, make its politest
bow to the town of Hartford and be
delighted 10 say, "we stand corrected" !"

which we publish on the first page of

At the close to-day there is good many
left over msold, mostly very common.
We look for Il light run Monday and
better prices on good cattle.
Hogs.-There is very little change in

the demand, and prices gradually tend
ing downward; very few selling over
cents, while medium light hogs selling
AT u to Il.
Sheep and Lamhe.-Receipt light
and market steady at about former
prices. The prospect don't look very
favorable from the eastern market, and
if that don't improve the prices will go
