portation companies to prevent the
carriage of freight from being con-
tinuous from the place of shipment

clarsd unlawful, as we'll as any pool

Winter Treatment of Mich Cows.

| The aim in the treatment of mile
COWS in the Winter should be t
continue the conditions ,of Summe
as nearly as possible. This re
xulres comfortable quarters, not on
ly against the inclemency of tn,
weather, but in all else that relates
to the we'll being of the COWS
such as warm stables, but not toe
warm; ventilation, to control TEN:
perature and admit fresh air, but
not directly on the animals; floor
well Uttered with fine vegetable
material to absorb fluids and odors
aided by plaster, thus securing, a
clean, dry, soft bed to lie and stand
on; carding, plenty of good water,
conveniently obtained; occasionally
out door airing and exercise, with
out rash exposure to cold and wet,
getting as much sunlight as posi-
ble and avoiding great changes of
temperature: kind treatment, maxi
ing the COW feel at home. Give
food to meet her requirements if in
calf, let the heterogeneous element be
well represented, and let the feed
be largely of succulent character
to keep in line with the Summer
diet, such as roots or ensiiage, with
early cut clover we'll cnred:, Feed
early and late, and a few times du-
ring the. day, keeping the COW
mostly employed with slight feeds
between the two principal rations,
the night serving for rest. Begin
the winter feed early, in order to
avoid exposure to inclement wea-
Their, and to realize a late, fall and
early Winter harvest of bntt or, for
which superior price is obtained.
It is great fault with many
'armers to allow their COWS the
'ange of the farm, thus getting
more exercise than is good for
mich COW, trampling the fields and
making muddy paths, waile the
ost-bitten food that they pick is of
educed benefit, and leaves the
lelds bare and exposed to the Win
er's severity. 1t is an error to sup
'ose that late grass, frostbitten and |
'leached, is Of more value as feed
hun for protection. Leaving the
'rass unfed is in effect green man
ring without the expense Of turn
ng it under.
By thus favoring our fields, we
the same. time favor our cows
lso. By putting them up early
eanires attention, but pays we'll,
now the time can be well afford
d, and the-co are continued in
God condition without break, yiel-

The Fate Of a DYnamiter.

New YoRK, Feb. 3. -0DGn0van ROs-
sa has been shot by woman. The shoot
ing took place at twelve minutes past
o'clock, yesterday afternoon. He is still
alive. He was in front of the Stewart
building, on Chambers street. when he
was approached by handsome young
lady, dressed plainly. She wore specta,
cles, and had the appearance of an intel
lectual school teacher She drew five
Earrelled revolver from her dress pocket,
and levcling it at Rosa fired one shot.
Rosa threw his hand above his head and
cried, I'm shot" He then fell heavily
to the sidewalk. The woman fired the
remaining bullets in her pistol at the
PROSTATE man, and then calmly and un-
concemedly walked off with the smoking
pistol in her hand. She was followed by
large crowd, while a still larger mob
surrounded the wounded dynamiter. City
Marshal James McAuley, in the absence
of policeman, saw the revolver in the
woman's hand and arrested her. She
was conducted to the twenty sixth pre-
cinct station house, in the city hall. Her
coOlness of demeauor was remarkable.
When arraigned at the sergeant's desk,
the woman gave her name as Yeslit Dud-
ley. AT "A late hour Rosa was resting
comfortably, and he will undOubtlv re-
cover. In England the news of the shoot
ing was heard with satisfaction, and many
expressed regret that he had not been
killed outright.

Hendricks Calls, Also Carlisle, but Sa,
Very Little to the Reporters.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb 3.-The principa
visitors to Mr.. Cleveland, on Saturday, wer,
Hon. Thomas A Hendricks and Speaker
Carlisle. They both spent some hours witt
the president-elect and left in the
afternoon for New York. Mr.. Carlisle
said his conver alton with Cleveland wa.
principally on the subject of poll
cies and that the cabinet was mentioned
and discussed for time. He would moi
say anything specific as to what passed a
his interview, but remarked that Cleveland
was a good listener and man of good prac
tlcal common sense.
Mr.. Hendricks was equally reticent and
would only say that Mr.. Cleveland is mar
of strong and vigorous mind, whose opinions
were all sound
On Sunday Senator German was visitor
and it is understood that his interview was
principally on the subject of Inauguration
arrangements.
1t is asserted that three men have been SO
lected for the cabinet, viz: Bayard, Gar
land and Whitney, but this is given only as
an assertion.
One correspondent days that the member
ship in the cabinet from the west cannot
even be guessed at with any reasonable
chance Of hitting the truth; but there seems
to DO no doubt that Indiana will not he over
looked. Vice Presiient-elect Hendricks ha,
not persistently urged any of his fellow-citi
zens upon Governor Cleveland, but he
has, no doubt, with becoming modesty, sug
gested the propriety of calling ex-Sena

Gil. To which state will the other one of the
two cabinet positions assigned to the west b,
given: The anti Morton faction of Nobraskf

whom are being urged by friends upon tin
attention of the president elect.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 3-Work was
resumed Monday morning at the greater
portion of the cJlheries in the Wyoming, Le-
high and Schuylkill regions on the February
quota. The policy of the companies under
the present plan is to work none but the best
paying collieries, of which there are sufficient
to mine the amount required during each
month, consequently there are quite a
number of ccllieries idle, especially in the
Lehigh and Schuylkill regions, thus throw
ing, it is estimated, several thousand
mon and boys out of work during the entire
winter. There is much suffering among the
miners on this account, and already hun
dreds of foreigners have left the coal fields
and returned to their native country. Mostly
those who have left are Hungarians. Parties
Of fifty and 100 are leaving weekly in the
Schuylkill region. The February quota will
be filed about the 9th of the month, when
another stoppage for a few days will be
made. Much interest is manifested by the
miners at the reported cut in prices made by
the Pennsylvania company last week.
