AT a late meeting of the Orange county,
New York, Farmers Club, Mr. Alvord said 4:
"Small pastures and few cows on them, are
better than large ranges with large number
of cows. Next to the grasses in the pasture, |
believe in shade and water in as many places
as possible. Mr.. Lewis, of Herkimer county,
acquired a large reputation for milk prOduc-
ton, and when asked for its cause said he al.
ways endeavored to keep his cows when in
the pasture, as comfortable as possible He
advocated small pastures, plenty of shade and
water. These suggestions are made that you
will see the necessity of giving your mich
cows as little labor as possible. You have no.
ticed how much more fodder your cattle cat
when working than when idle. Food given
even while the animal is working is expended
in supplying the waste of tissue, hut when at
rest, as in the case OF the COW, this waste of
tissue is not so great, and the food IS tended
toward the production of milk A COW eats
from 100 to 200 pounds of green grass per day.
Think how many steps she has to take In get
ting that supply, and the water she needs. If
the water is not handy and the range is large,
something must supply them in their efforts to
secure both.-Chic0gO Times.

A Calcutta letter published IN the London
Times, details how the wheat corners engi.
neered IN the United States to enhance prices
IN England were bated by the grain resources
furnished by India. American operators were
not unaware of the efforts which have been
made to extend wheat culture IN the British
dependency, nor were they unfamiliar with
the fact that very considerable surplus ex.
listed there; but they erred IN supposlng that
the transportation facilities were unequal TO
the task OF getting the supply to Underwater in
time to meet England's requirements. AS a
matter of fact, India was able to send 100000
tons of wheat TO the mother country IN the past
season IN excess of what she had ever shipped
before. This part Of the problem was solved
largely by the railways which have recently
been built tn Western India. For q long pc
Rod many of the best Of the wheat growing
districts are so scantlly served with means of
outlet to the coast that their surplus was un.
available to meet any foreign demand. Those
regions are being gradually penetrated with
steel tracks, and rendered tributary to Eng
lands wants. Every new line of rail expands
the area from which supplies can be drawn.
A San Francisco journal claims that, from
present prospects, India this year will have as
large a quantity as 40, 0O0 600 bushels OF wheat
to spare for export. This would be nearly
double what was sent to England the past sea.

Lees surrender"

Richmond (FG) State, May II.
The sentiment which the State proclaims
was as strong in Lee and his followers on
the day of ADpomsttox as It can possibly be
Ia the hearts of any to-day, yet Lee and his
tattered heroes made a virtue OF necessity
and surrendered. TIE contest had not been
merely political campaign, and the victory
was not mere party one at the ballot box.
IL was vastly more, and to cOnquerors aud
conquered /. meant aud means the complete
overthrow, as far as our Federal Govern
ment and our national politics are concern
ed, Of the Confederacy and Confederate
things. Lee so understood it, and upon that
construction Of the surrender he lived and
died. Wing.
II that is your reading OF the surrender,
1t is not ours. We see much more between
the lines. It was not unconditional; nor did
our greatest General for a moment think
he was disbanding his army only to place
his people at the mercy Of the most embit-
tered and cruel partisans of the North. He
hoped and believed, relying on the promises
from that section, that he was bringing
peace to the country long racked by war,
and that bis own people would be restored
to all their rights. save only those which
they had already lost in the adverse fortune
OF the war. He had no premonition Of the
fearful woes to which the conquered peo-
pie would be subjected after they had
laid down their arms, through
the "Punic faith" Of the North. He
trusted Lincoln and Grant and their
promises, and believed they would be full
filed and we, too, think that had the former
lived Lees confidence would not have been
betrayed; but his sad death was the excuse
for our punishment and their violation OF all
the terms and understanding of the com
pact made with Grant. Then. indeed, did
the cry go forth: "TG VctiS" and for
seventeen years we have been grooming un-
der the constantly increasing burdens that
have been added one by one to the first and
greatest penalty imposed. No, no Had
General Lee foreseen these things there

1t now turns ont, according to the tes-
timOnY of DR.. Franklin Stewart, that the
famous Peruvian company in which the
visionary but cheeky Shipherd and his
millions has figured so conspicuouslY of
late was founded on a cash Investment
of one dollar. 1t was in this wise, as ex-
planned by Stewart: The original
COchet claim was divided into twenty
parts by Peter Hevner, a contemporary
and competitor of Henry Meigs in Peru.
Twelve-twentieths of the claim were
sold or transferred to James Mont
gomery, now Vice President of a cattle
car company, at No. Cortlandt street,
New York; one-twentieth was sold
to a Philadelphia named Carey, who
died recently. Hevner retained a pOr-
ton and DR.. Stewart took what was
equal to one-fifteenth of the whole.
When Shipherd appeared on the scene
with his scheme for Peruvian company
DIR. Stewart was induced to part with his
interest to him on the understanding that
he (Shipherd) was to purchase all the re-
mainder of the claim. In fact, the doctor
understood that Shiphered had already
contracted to purchase the shares
held by Montgomery, Hevner and others,
and that he was 10 organize what is
known as the Peruvian Company" All
those parties refused to sell to Shipherd,
but that person went promptly on with
the organization of the company on a
CAPT 1alization of $3.50, 600, 900. The only
basis for the company, therefore, was the
one Fifteenth part transferred to Shipherd
by DR.. Stewart on payment OF 81.

Rochester Democrat.


The case of Sebastian Beck, whose career
among the Sioux Indians was noted in this
journal, has been fully investigated at the
County Poor Office by Overseer McGonegal.
During the recOunting Of his wanderiugs,
the old man gave reporter from this jour
nal clearer insight into the battle Of the
"Little Big Horn" than he before had.
Beck, who had been a captive among the
Sioux for eight years, participated IN that
battle. He recounted the details Of the MUIR
derous charge upon Custer in his broken
English, IN manner that was interesting
even TO those who were familiar with the
slaughter OF the gallant General and his band.
He said that upon the night Of the charge
Sitting Bull expec ed Custer, and had
msssed all his forces, and had a band of
5000 warriors, of which he was oue. The
plan of their battle was as follows: The In
dams fenced in large corral with saplngs,
and within built fires. Upon the saplings
they hung their blankets, and within they
fixed billets Of wood to represent themselves
as seated about the fires. They then went
into the mountains surrounding the spot
and waited until Custer and his company
should be attracted by the trap they had
devised. They were successful, for the
General saw the liDht, reconnotrei, and
thought his chance had come. He opened
fire upon the Indians. This was the signal.
WIN one IelI SWOOp 0,UUU painted devils
rushed down upon him from the mountain
sides. In moment the little band Of 300
men were surrounded, and the unequal bat
tie was commenced. Beck said that Custer
showed no fear, but rode into the fight with
eyes and sabre flashing, and never raised It
but that he leIt upon some redskin's face his
bloody and ragged edged trade mark ak "
which go many of his victims in the late
war knew so well. One by one his men fell
around him, and at last he stood alone
among them battling with his trusty sabre in
his remaining right hand. But at last he too
fell. pierced by seven shots. Beck said that
his fight was terrible in its destructiveness.
Fourteen Of those Indians who entered the
fray paid for it with their lives, and their
cold copper-hued faces lay turned to the
morning sun next day, with those of the
300 brave soldiers who followed the brave
Custer into his last fight. This is the story
of the old captive of the Sioux, who claims
that he was there and saw that intrepid
officer die. His last words were: 81 am
alone; have done my best; the boys are all
gone and l will 90 with them"
