The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1881-11-12
CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

RETURNS from the several State cleo
tions held on Tuesday, the Sth, so far as re-
ceived up to the morning of the 9th, indi-
Gated the following result:
New York-The vote has been light and
the result seems to be in doubt. The Dem
ocratic majority in New York City
on the State ticket is estimated at
$4,000, as against $1,000 local Democratic
majority in 1879, and in Kings County at
}, 1855, as against $4,000 local Democratic ma
Orty in 1879; Total Democratic majority of
New York and Kings County is
therefore 3S,756. Returns from $40
towns outside Of New York and KINGS
County give Carr 10, 347, and Purcell TO-.
35S; Republican majority, $3.50. Estimate
of the State on this basis would give Carr
majority outside Of New York and Brook
yn of 81 ,526, leaving the result apparently
in doubt until the official returns are re-
ceiye d. Aston, Republican candidate for
Congress in the Eleventh District, is de-
felted by Flower, Democrat.
Pennsylvania-Th Republican State Com
mittee claim the election of Bailey for State
Treasurer by from 10, 900 to 10 900 majority.
The Democrats do not concede this, and
will more than cOunterbaance Republican
majority in the cities.
Connecticut-Ihe Republicans have car
ried both branches OF the Legislature by re-
duced maiorities.
New Jersey-No State officers chosen. The
Republicans will probably maintain their
majority in the Legislature.
Virginia Official vote of Richmond for
Gubcrnatorial candidates: Daniel Demo
craft, 1920; Cameron (Readjuster), 3,3-G;
Daniels majority, !, GA, Readju,ter gain
Of G13. One hundred aud six scat erngprc-
cincs outside Richmond give Daniel lG, 1863
and Cameron II $50, Democratic gain Of, ASS.
The secretary OF the Readjuster State Gem
tral Committee claims the Readiusters esti-
mate their majority for Cameron in the state
At 10000, and that, so far as heard from,
they have gained five members of the House
Of Delegates and only lost one.
ssppi.-LOwery. Democrat, is un.
doubleday elected Governor, by an estimated
majority of from 10, 900 to %, 000 Returns
come in slowly. So far as heard from the
election has been quiet throughoutthe State,
except at Marion, Lauderdale County.
Wisconsin-The Republicans claim the
ele lion of their State ticket by a small ma
jorty. The Prohibition vote will run from
1000 to 1000. Returns generally show
Democratic gains, and the Democratic State
Committee feel sanguine they have elected
at least portion Of their State ticket.
Maryland-Usual Democratic majority.
Minnesota and Nebraska-No apparent
falling off in the usual Republican ms
jorities.

press between st. Louis and New York,
time 33 hours and 40 minutes.
INVESTIGATION into the affairs of the
Mechanics National Bank of Newark, n
j., so hOpeessly wrecked by Cashier Bald
win, disclOSes the fact that some two years
ago Henry p. Marchbank, at that time en-
gagged as corresponding clerk Of the bank
got away with 1000 Of its funds, which
has never been recovered. Marchbank was
retired, but the matter was not made pub
lie, it is supposed on account of the clerks
too intimate knowledge of the Cashiers
own and much more extensive defalcation.
Marchbanls has now been arrested. He is
man Of some property, and like Baldwin,
has heretofore been esteemed as an estima-
BILE and upright citizen.

lature have passed the bill for the readjust-

rich, Switzerland, is reported to have been
robbed of $4,000 francs and all negotiable
securities and its books burned. The bank
has suspended. Unpleasant surmises re-
garding the affair are current.
THE cotton statistics for the present
season show falling off in the receipts at
every Southern port, except New Orleans,
from last year, the decrease in some cases
being considerable. The estimates of the
total crop made by members of the New
York Cotton Exchange vary from 5,1G5, 900
to 6,5O0,OOO bales. Bradstreet's reports
would indicate the smaller estimate as being
the nearer correct.
THE attendance at the Atlanta Cot
ton Exposition continues to increase each

U. S. Circuit Court at Omaha, was found
dead just outside his office door on the
morning of the 5th, with a bullet
through his head. Col. Smith has been
very prominent in enforcing the new

leaving his office. His body was cold
when found. A citizens meeting was held
and it was agreed to raise $40, 900 to be used
in hunting down the assassin. The great

Timothy for Dairy Meadows.

One of our principal meadow grasses
is timothy, and this forms q tuber or
bulb just above the surface of the ground
and is injured or destroyed when this
bulb is cut or eaten Off Pasturine
meadows of this grass is likely greatly
to injure these bulbs, and this explains
the .serious injury that occurs when
these meadows are pastured in the fall.
Cutting too close with moving ma
chimes often Injuries it. Timothy is
perhaps our most valuable meadow
grass, as, with proper attention, it will
easily continue ten years in succession
to yield large crops. IL our meadows
consisted of Kentucky blue grass, wire
grass, orchard grass, red top, etc.,
pasturing would not be 30 fatal, al
though then not advisable except on
alluvial or overfiowed land. But let us
see what the real value of the aftermath
of timothy meadow is worth. Take the
case mentioned of seventy-five acres
pastured. Four cents worth of wheat
middlings and corn meal per day to
each COW, would have produced more
milk and left the cows in better condi-
ton, during the five or six weeks that
they were allowed to run q portion of
the day upon the meadows. This would
have cost, at the most, only about one
dollar and sixty cents per head, whilst
the damage to the meadow was at least
ten times as much. Meadows require
generous attention. should be top
dressed with stable manure in the fall.
instead Of pasturing them. and when
this cannot be had should be top
dressed with some commercial fertilizer

Useful Hints for Measuring Land.

Almost every farmer has some way of
measuring land, and the most common
Is to step off five PAGES for a rod, and
call sixty by sixty-five PAGES an acre.
For ordinary purposes this mode will
answer, but when the exact measure
ment of q piece of land is desired, it can
not be depended upon as being aecu-
rate. = -,

feet long is q cheap and convenient

An exact acre can be found by the fol-
lowing table of distances:

: Mistakes In Milking.

"We have frequent communica-
tions," says the american Culticator,
'.from our subscribers concerning the
fact of their cows giving bloody milk.
No one would be surprised at COWS Civ
ing bloody milk If they were aware of
what q network of blood vessels the I'D
der of q COW is composed. No person
should ever make an attempt to milk a
cow till they have obtained some knowl-
edge of its structure; then we perhaps
should dispense with large number of
those double-fsted men who do not
seem to hayeany knowledge of the pur-
poses or anatomy of cows bag, except
for them to squeeze and drag it as
though it were piece of dead hide.
There is no objection to the strong
handed man as q mixer, the stronger
the better, but it should be accompa-
MED with touch as delicate as a wom-
ans. Whenever the cow manifests the
slightest sensitiveness the udder should
be thoroughly examined. Milking is a
pleasure to the COW when everything is
all right, and whenever it ceases to af-
ford qualification to the cow there is
evidently something wrong. Never
fail to wash with warm water the bag of
a young heifer, both before and after
milking"

Points OF a Good Cow.

A gentleman said to have great ex-i
perience in buying and handling stock
gives the following outlines Of q good
COW:
I'm the first place, win say that be-
ieve in the Guenon escutcheon, but still
think it needs q good deal of studying
to understand it. see great many
think If it happens to be rather wide il
is No. /. But have seen very poor
cows on which the escutcheon was both
high and wide; but still It was broken
and badly shaped. We win commence
at the head. The muzzle should be
rather large, but the head small and
bony, with the face dished and wide
between the eyes; horns rather small
and amber color; ears small, thin and
yellow; neck thin and long, with clean
throat; neck will drop little in front
of shoulders, making what call eve
neck; shoulders sloping, not heavy, but
lean or bony, back level with good
width of hips. The backbone should be
rough or loose jointed. ] consider this
one of the best points. As you move
seem to be further apart and open.
Barrel broad and deep at the flank, with
the back ribs wide apart Rump long
and rather wide, thighs long, thin and
wide apart, with legs short and bone
fine; hoofs rather long, but small; milk
veins large and where they enter the
body you can stick your fingers in;
udder well forward and well up behind,
with four good large teats set square
and wide apart: Udder soft and pliable
and not fleshy, so that when the milk is
drawn the udder is nearly gone. Tail
long and slim with good switch. Skin
should be soft and yellow with good
escutcheon and mild disposition. The
COW filing the above description or
nearly so, I have always found good
one.-CdnadG Go be. -

How to Live in Summer.

Clothing has too much to do with our
elasticity of movement. The heavy suits
of men are weighing them down, in
summer, and cloths of serge are far pre-
ferable to those of thick wooden cloth.
The heavily laden skirts of women inn
pede the free action of movements much,
and should be sinplifed rs much as
possible for summer. So also the head
gear. .5s s-ltE s,4....i-
Infants, II at all delicate, should not
be allowed to go with bare feet; it often
produces diarrhea, and they should al
ways wear q flannel band round the
stomach. Another important matter is
the changing of night and day linen
among the poorer GLASSES. 1t Is terrible
to think that a workingman should lie
down in the shirt in which he has per-
spired all day at his hot work. Let men
accustom themselves to good washes
every evening before they sit down to
their meals, and to changes at night,
that they may take up dry shirt when
going to their hard days work. '5
Light head coverings are essential In
summer, for the head must be kept cool.
The most serviceable dress is that which
allows air to pass freely around your
limbs and stops neither the evaporation
of the body nor the circulation Of the re-
freshing atmosphere. In summer you
must breathe freely and lightly; you can
not do 50 with your stomach full of un-
digested food, your blood full Of over
heating alcohol, your lungs full of viii
ated air, your smell 6sgusted with
nauseous scents, your system unable to
carry out the natural process of diges-
ton. All the sanitary arrangements in
the world will do no good If we eat and
drink in such fashion that we are con-
stantly putting on fuel where it is not
needed, and stuffing up our bodily
draught, as we would that of heating
appliance. Our ignorance and our bad
habits spoil the summer, that delightful
season of the year-nothing else.-Food
and Health. -
