IN TIoNEsTA TOWNSHIP.

The election was quite spirited, the
Offices of road commissioner and two
school directors being the principle
bone of contention. A rather singu.
ler coincidence occurred in connection
with tie office Of road commissioner /:
At caucus of the citizens on Satur.
day the names of Wm. Hood and P.
G. Blcchor were presented three bal.
lots were taken and each resulted in a
tie between the gentlemen. 1t was
then agreed that both candidates be
placed in the field and voted for at
the election. This was done, and,
strange to say, another tie resulted.
Following is the township ticket as
elected:

Among others who saw the Gold
King at the Park theater last night
was young man Of fair complexion,
blue eyed and neatly dressed, who
after taking several glasses of wine at
the bar, went up stairs, and took the
right proscenium box. In the play,
toward the close of the second act, IS
the cue for Hector, the Newfoundland
dog, to spring from behind the scenes
upon w. j. Thompson, the william OF
the play, and apparently choke him to
death as the curtain goes down, Ac-
cordingly, at the APPOINTED time, a
large, dark object was seen to launch
itself forward and settle with grow
upon the shoulder of the villain, The
two fell to the stage, and the seeming
struggle of death began. Just at this
mement the young man in the pros
cenium box leaned forward out OF the
box, and, pointing a pistol at the man
and dog, not twenty feet away, hred;;
The audience rose as one man and
made rush for the street. The young
man dashed out of the box and ran
down stars. A moment later he was
collared. Search revealed the pistol
d 38-caliber. In explanation OF the
shooting he said that he thought the
dog was killing the man. and be want

winter Proht with Cows.
Our Country Home

Butter can be made ia winter at a
profit with beef idea coupled with it.
1t is done ''in this wise" to use the
Yankee term. Select good farrow
cows. A great deal hinges on that
word good. 1t means in this conec-
ton, COW which will respond 10 feed
both in the pail and Ga her ribs. This
is not so much of mixed proposition
as one might at first suppose. We
are dealing with farrow cows.
This embraces the idea that nature
is closing in on her efforts to convert
food into milk, and as q period OF
growth and renewal Of bodily funct-
ions he's begun there will be a natural
tendency to growth or filing out
and renewal OF the bodily parts. The
food will then be divided in its re-
suits, and some of it will go into the
milk secretion and some to building
up and renewing the bodily structure.
There are the two avenues Of gain,
and on this double road it will pay
to push things and give the COWS all
they can eat of rich foods. We must
look ahead and find out if their foods
will be readily assimulated and con-
verted into milk and hesn, and so
combined that they will work well
together
The first thing to secure is thorough
mastication, for without this there is
always more or less loss o. food even
though it may be swallowed. Some
folks think that il food is only gobol-
ed down. it is all right, whereas il
may be all wrong. Eating is differ
ent thing from gobbling or cram
ming food down. Il embodies the
idea of mastication and digestion, and
when this is done the full valae OF
food may be obtained, and without it,
it will not be had. To procure this
there must be a proper combination
of food as well as mechanical condl-
tons. The owner must do the first
work, and when this is we'll done the
second result will surely follow,
Brains are called for, as well as cattle
and food, and il is not the man who
has the food that wins, but the man
who couples knowledge with plenty.
Meal should always be mixed with
coarser food, to secure full masticatien
and digestion. Now let the farmer
apply this principle in his feeding and
let him select good farrow cows, and
he cannot avoid gain, with the milk
and growth combined. The pile or
rich manure is readily pay enough,
but ne can get more, viz; profit on
the food given and an increase in the
value of his investments by the rapid
growth of his cows. There must not
be any break, by exposure, abuse, or
neglect. There is no way farmer
can enrich his farm and purse easier
and more safely, than by the system
we have briefly noticed. In the
spring the cows should be fat enough
for beef and they may be dried off
and sold at time of the year when
beef is high,
