Cattle GroMara, Conxention

WELLINGTON, Kas., March 20.-The
stock men of Barbour and Comanche
counties and the western portion of the
Cherokee strip held a convention at
Medicine Lodge during Friday and Sat
urday, March II and IS, at which they
organized the Cattle Growers Associa-
ton of the Southwest, electing E. w.
Payne president; F. A. Hunt, D. A.
Grever, ID. Stith, vice presidents; w. w.
Cook, treasurer; w. F. Houghton, secre-
tary, and all representatives of the press
present assistant secretaries.
Hon. George Orner delivered the ad-
dress of welcome. Response by w. p
Brush on behalf of the Kansas City
stock yards; response by G. G. Means on
behalf of the commission men of Kansas
City; response by n. H. Bennett on be-
half of the stock men of the Cherokee
strip.
The stock mems association commit
tee on round up was appointed to con-
fer with a like committee from the
Cherokee strip stock mems association,
to set day and arrange the manner of
conducting the round up. The CON-
mittee reported in favor of dividing the
party into six sections and TO begin the
round up work May 6, which report
was adopted.
Tell W. Walton offered the following:
ReSOlued, That it is the sense of the
stock men and rancho men of the cattle
growers association of the southwest
that the six shooter is not an absolute
necessity and necessary adjunct to the
outfit OF cowboys working on the ranges
of this association, and we deprecate its
use except in extreme cases OF necessity
while on duty, in protecting the rights
and property against Indians and out
laws. And further, we condemn the
habit of carrying six-shooters by COW
boys or others, especially while visiting
any of the towns along the border.
w. p. Brush offered the following in
substance; That the general manager
of the K. c., L. s. s. railroad be pc
titioned to change the present run of
trains so that the end of the passenger
run will be Harper, the terminus of the
road, instead of Wellington, thereby
saving fully twenty-four hours to the
stockmen In going TO and from Kansas
City, and in the arrival of their mail.
The meeting adjourned to November
Is. 1882.

Farrow Cows.

A correspondent says: The milk of

the first year after calving, but il will
1t will make AS much butter, as | have
fully proved by a COW during the second
and third year after calving; and Tor
for further experiments, | am going to
continue her on for fourth year. Far
row cows take on more flesh in the third
year after calvlng than in the first
and second, especially the first. We
must be careful, then, as to food. Give
a greater proportion of bran, middlings,
rye, oat, buckwheat, or barley meal,
and less of Indian meal, and if she has
been fed iiaxseed or cottonseed meal.
reduce this to half n pint morning and
evening. See that she is well sailed
and, above all, provided with an abund.
ance of pure water, morning, noon, and
night. This is very important and con-
duces to a larger flow of milk, and les
sens the liability of taking on fat in de
triment to this and the production OF
butter. Of all ground stuff, wheat bran,
is, perhaps, the safest food to promote
the secretion Of milk, and will keep a
COW in fair flesh also if she had "A good
quality of hay or clover. 1t would be
better also for the water to be slightly
warmed in cold weather, which is given
her to drink, or at least take Off the

Grant and Porter.

STRONG LANGUAGE ON THE SUBJECT.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-There was
quite discussion this morning at the
capitol among half dozen prominent
republican members as to whether
Grant should be placed on the retired
list or not. Most of them were in favor
of granting him an annuity, but nearly
all the arguments were against the re-
firing plan.
1t was said by one that Grants place
in the military history of the world
was fixed and recognized; that there
was no doubt of his military achieve
ments being far ahead of those of any
other officer in the country, and that
that was the reason the republican par
ty was anxious TO avail itself Of the ben
eiits of such Leadership.
In the course of the conversation
Grants connection with
THE FlTZ.JoHN PORTER CASE
was brought up and severely criticised.
1t was said by one gentleman that al
though he should in all probability vote
for putting Grant on the retired list, he
did not see that the country was under
such very great obligations to him; that
there were thousands of people who
have made infinitely greater sacri-
fees for their country than Grant; and
as far as his military career was con-
cerned, he believed that had any other
general had command of the army of
the Potomac and received the same
physical and moral support Grant did,
he would have accomplished the same
end. Speaking of the Fitz-John Porter
case, he expressed some astonishment
at
THE COURSE SENATOR LOGAN HAD pUR-
SUED
in advocating so strongly two claims of
Grant to be placed on the retired list.
He said that Logan had made four
days speech against Porter; that Grant
came out squarely in favor of Porter,
giving Logan most deliberate slap in
the face, and yet Logan is for Grant.
Had he 1.-THE speaker) been so treated
by Grant he felt pretty cantident of the
way ne would vote in the matter. He
had talked for hours with Gen. Gar
field on the subject of Porter's guilt The
late president was thoroughly convinc-
ed Of his criminality; that Garfield, as
q member of the court-martial which
tried Porter,
HAD VOTED TO SHOOT HIM.
Although most of the gent lemen en-
gagged in the conversation expressed
themselves as ready to vote for the
Grant bill, they limited that it was a
pretty hard test of party fealty.

WASHINGTON,
POSING AS A SPHINX.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The agony
of uncertainty regarding Conkling's ac-
ceptance or declination of the associ.
ate justiceship of the supreme court,
still continues. At the white house, it
is claimed that nothing has been re-
ceived from him indicating his ioten-
tions. A letter has been received here
from Conkling's p ivate secretary, say
ing that Conkling will visit the city
early next week, and so the agony will
probably be prolonged several days. 1t
is stated, on what is said to be the au-
thority of a personal friend of Presi-
dent Arthur, that Conkling will posi-
lively refuse to accept, and that Judge
Blatchford of New York will
receive the nomination. Comment is
rife concerning the whole affair. The
nomination was doubtless made by
President Arthur with the full knowl-
edge Of Mr.. Conkling's wishes on the
subject. 1t may have been made to
give him the political and professional
prestige of a nomination aud coniirma-
ton for the supreme judgesnip, as
plume to be worn in his lucrative law
practice. 1t may have been done as a
test of public sentiment, to be followed
by Mr.. Conkling's declination,
the appointment of Secretary Fol
ger to the bench and the nomination Of
Conlling to the cabinet; or it may have
been done to enable Mr.. Conkling to
retire with dignity from politics, and
round out his fame as great Judge.
One of the foregoing suggestions is
doubtless the true solution of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Conkling to the supreme
judgeship. Either is plausible, and
which ever is the right one, it was
known to Arthur and Conkling before
the appointment was made, and it will
be carried out to its contamination.

Hunt ng Wild Turkeys.

In some sections of Pennsylvania the
wild turkeys are found in great abun-
dance. Along the borders of the Blue
Mountains, in Schuylkill County, is a
favorite region. A correspondent OF
an Eastern journal says: The mode of
hunting wild turkeys adopted by these
Blue Mountain hunters is TO "corn" a
suitable part of the woods frequented
by the birds-generally in old clearings
Corning is simply the scattering of corn
on the ground and making choice feed
ing places, that the turkeys, which fly
in tiocks, are not long in discovering.
When hunter discovers the presence
of flock in his ''feld" he corns it, and
generally feels certain that in time he
will have everyone of the turkeys
bagged. When the clearing is scattered
with the corn the hunter takes a posi-
ton in it from which he has view of
the feeding place, but where he cannot
be seen by the birds. The turkeys drop
into the clearing with a great futter
and much gobblng by the males. The
hunter picks out the bird he wishes to
secure on the ground, and another at
which he will shoot when they rise. He
shoots the one on the ground and the
other in the air. Large shot Is used
and heavy charges OF powder, AS the
feathers of the game are very close
and the skin tough. A skillful hunter
rarely fails to bring down his two birds,
but novice usually sees both take
wing without any apparent damage
from his charges. 1t is almost useless
to try to get a shot at flock of turkeys
by flushing them, as their hearing and
sight are extremely acute, and flock
always gets up and removes itself from
harms way long before the hunter is
within gun-shot But while SO willy in
that respect they lack all semblance of
shrewdness in visiting the "corned"
places. No matter how large flock is,
it will continue being reduced in num-
bers by regularly visiting the place in
the morning where it was shot at the
evening before, and in the evening after
having been shot into in the morning.
This is kept up till only one bird comes
to feed where all of its companions
were killed. Sometimes, when pair
of turkeys remains, the two will Join
another flock, and accompany it to the
feeding-place it had selected. There
are many pothunters among the Blue
Mountain people, who trap, snare and
net the turkeys, and the legitimate
sportsmen destroy scores Of their traps
and nets every season. Hawks and
foxes destroy many turkeys. The
hawks are of immense size, some that
have been killed measuring six feet
from tip to tip. Wild turkeys weigh
from eight to twenty pounds, and large
are sent from the Blue Noun
tain region to the New York and Phila-
delphia markets. Sportsmen from the
cities visit the region every season, and
spend weeks at the cabins Of the local
hunters, who serve rs guides to the
grounds. The shooting has
not been as good this season as former
ly, and in few years more the wild
turkey will, no doubt, be extinct in

The Christiancy Divorce.

PLAINTIFFS TESTIMONY IN REBUTTAL.
WASHINGTON, sMarch An the di-
vorce suit of ex-senator and ex-Minis-
ter l.. P. Christiancy against his wife,
Lille NJ Christiancy, nee Lugenbeel
the prospects are that the testimony
will close at an early day and the case
60 into the chancery court for hearing
and decision. The returns of the COM
missions to take testimony in Lansing
Mich, and New York city have been
made, and the dispositions were placed
on file with the clerk of the court this
afternoon. Those from Michigan are
made by DR.. Bartholomew, DR.. H. B.
Shanks, and Messrs. Orlando M. Barnes,
Hewitt G. Coleman, f. H. Davis, Rush
J. Shanks, Stephen S. Bingham.
Samuel l.. Kilbourne, HALEY Ingersoll,
Frank Wells, Eugene F. Cooley, Martin
V. Montgomery, Schuyler l.. Olds and
Vesti G.. Allen, well known citizens of
Lansing, and Kitty Sharkey and Lucy
Myers, house servants in Mr.. Christi
ancy's family. These dispositions tend
strongly to show that the testimony of
Mrs. LugenbeeI, declaring that Mr..
Christiancy was in an intoxicated con-
dition every day while she was in Ian
sing, from some time in March to De-
tober, 1877, was wholly false, and that
he was not under the influence of
drink at all during that period, but that
he was sober in his habits and kind and
considerable in his conduct. The testi-
mony of the servant girls Is contradic-
tory of Mrs. Christiancy and Mrs. Luz
genbeel, that there were no servants in
the house half of the time, but they
state that servants were in at
tendance most of the time
This is the gist of the dispositions,
and the counsel for the ex-senator will
commence here in few days to put in
additional rebuttal testimony of some
witnesses they have.
MISS CHAMBE RLAINE's DISAPPEARANCE.
1t is also a fact that Miss Chamber
lalne has failed to appear and sign her
testimony. Her whereabouts is not
known, and il is doubtful if she ever,
IN the face of this contradictory testi-
mony, puts her signature to her depo-
sition. Miss Lilly Meloy, who months
since testified in behalf of Mrs. Chris
tiancy, has persistently refused to pre-
sent herself for DISCRIMINATION,
and the counsel for the wife ex-
presses perfect willingness to
throw her deposit out. This course
does not suit the other side.
They want the testimony to stand, and
declare that if they can only get Miss
Meloy up to the rack, they will show
that much of the statement is wholly
