INDrANAroEs, Nov. 12.-Gen. Herman
sturm, man who once possessed great
wealth, but lost it through his dealings
with the Mexican government, has, after
many years of persistent effort, procur-
ed the allowance of a claim which will
restore his fortune with interest. At
the time OF the Maximillian invasion he
entered into q contract 10 furnish the
Government a large supply OF arms and
ammunition at greatly advanced cost.
Philadelphia capitalists were interested
with him in the transaction. Through
the wrecking Of steamship containing
a large part OF the cargo and the failure
Of the Goyesnment 10 pay for its pur-
chase Sturm was bankrupted and others
associated with him lost heavily.
Sturm endeavored to recover insur-
ance on part Of his loss and the case was
in court many years. Two years ago
there was an adverse ruling on the claim
in court. Sturm pushed the matter,
however, and has been rewarded by re-
ceiying an allowance Of s, 1885, 900 on his
claim,

THE DAIRY.
Dairy Hints.


At recent Farmers Institute, held at
Utica, N. Y, many items of interest were
brought ont by the various speakers con-
Douglas, of Vermont, thought the first con-
dition of successful dairying to be learning
the capacity of cows for milk. In testing,
he has found wide extremes. His cans are
thirteen inches deep and two ana one hale
inches in diameter. He sets at IS degrees.
One COW gave 30 per cent. of cream at the
end of four hours. Another gave bat S
per cent. under the same conditions. After
twenty -four hours, the first had sunk to rs
per cent, and the other advanced to per
cent. The first cream was solid and yell
low, the other poor for butter making pur-
poses, but the milk below was solid mass
of casein. Where cheese is made the sec
ond COW would be the most profitable.
If examined under o microscope, one
would find the globnIes in the milk of the
first COW very large and uniform. while in
the second they would be small and not at
all uniform. The COW that gave the poorest
milk gave large mess of milk, but to the
butter maker she was almost valueless. AS
showing the value of testing each individ-
ual COW, the speaker remarked that he
knew of one heard in which the average is
315 pounds Of butter per COW. The net re-
ceipts of such q herd are estimated at
$34.46 per COW. Take another herd giving
$50 pounds per COW, and the COW runs the
farmer in debt $5.17. Though poor feed
ing on the part of the farmer has much to
do with the productive capacity of the COW,
yet the quality of the animal has also much
to do with the matter.
In feeding, We often economic too
much. It is rule that the profit OF dairy

ear-cut, resolute features, and . round,
neatly trimmed, Grant-like beard. In
fact, he bears quite facial resemblance
to the great commander. Captain
Rath's eyes are bright and keen, his
manner quick and nervous, and he likes
to talk, although he objects to being
interviewed.
Il could sit and talk about those
people for q whole day." said he
to a correspondent. II know enough
about them to fill volumes. You see,
there weren't so many reporters then
az there are now, and there was so
much excitement and SO many things
to write about that many things were
missed or crowded out which would
make excellent reading. I had charge
OF those prisoners through Their entire
confinement, and at the last superin-
tended their execution, so had good
opportunity to study them. I always
regarded Herold as an unthinking boy
spoiled child. He was great sports
man, though, fond of shooting, and
the owner of splendid pointer dog.
We kept the dog for him in the prison,
and at his death left it to General
Hantranft.
II never regarded the conspirators
as murderers. Most of them, I believe,
were inspired by sincere love OF the
Confederacy. and the belief that in re-
moving Lincoln they were acting for
the good of their country"

one should leave camp; but, as the
boys were hungry, they sneaked off on
foraging expedition. They succeeded
in finding large number of chickens,
turkeys, ETC., and, knowing that trouble
would follow their return to camp, one
of them caught dog, which he dressed
nicely. Meanwhile the absence of the
men was noted, and General Morgan
ordered their arrest. When they were
brought to camp under guard, they
were made to pile up their booty in
front Of the Generals tent. The dog
attracted his eye (he thought it was
mutton), and ordered his cook to pre-
pare it for him.
When the march was again taken up,
the General rode out, and looked as
slick and happy as you please. The
boys could even imagine that he was
licking his chops over that mutton.
Suddenly some one yelled "dog meat"
Instantly the word was taken up along
the line. The General endeavored to
