What Can BE Done by an Average Farmer.

W At@" Wan Nv DoAAo Ny OH <ASCAdSo L dfuefs
1t is not impossible for any farmer, who
has common sense, industry, the best knowl-
edge of dairying obtainable in this meeting
and 50 acres of good land to keep 60 cows on
his farm. He can pasture 20 acres, use 20 for
soiling, 20 for hay and 20 for ensilage. He
can hire all labor needed for $500 and buy GO
tons of feed for $720. Good COWS, well fed,
will average $50 pounds of butter each or 49,
900 for the CO. He can sell his butter at 25
cents per pound, Or ,75o. He will have 3o0,-
900 pounds of skim milk worth 20 cents per
100, OR 5000. The calf product, if the herd
consists Of grades, will be worth 5000 total
revenue of $3.50, with an outlay of $1,000
and an immense amount of hard work and
thinking on the part of the manager. While
the result given may seem extravaganza and
mattainable, they are clearly within reach.
There are hundreds of men in Wisconsin who
get 25 cents per pound for butter, scores of
men who get more than $50 pounds of butter
per COW, any number whose calves average
them more than IS each, and thousands who
get 20 cents per hundred for skim milk. Very
few keep q COW on less than one and one-half
acres of ground.-H. c. Adams, as reported
In Milwaukee Sentinel.

much travel at Sixth street, on Spring

much travel at Sixth street, on Spring
as at the Pico House on Main.
1t is within the memory OF compare
| lively recent comers to our city, that
drygoods stores were found north OF lem.
pie Block now all of that class OF busi-
ness, except one, has moved south oi
Court street, and more than one such
concern can be found south of Second
street. The most pleasant part OF the
business portion for promenade used
| to be above Temple street, now that
whole part of the city is debauched with
saloons, low theatres, and other like
nuisances that crowd in at the heels OF
retreating business. Another significant
! fact is that there are more vacant store
rooms between the Pico House and Tenn
pie street, than threre are on Spring
street between Third and Sixth streets.
still another startling fact is that there
are double the number of foot passen-
gers on Spring at third street than there
are at the Pico House, and almost as
many as at the Temple Block.
The railroad depots and all the public
buildings except one are located south OF
the acknowledged present business CEN
ter.
These are some of the nnmistakable
signs that business is surely drifting
southwark, and that important affair 6
will soon be transacted at Sixth street,
unless the tide is turned.
The opening of cross street through
the city is the only possible way OF solv-
ing this problem in favor of the present
business center. The west half of the
city. if not now, is destined to be more
tlickly populated than the east half. The
south half is by far more densely settled
than the north half.
If First or Second street was opened
Westward over the hills, the west hall
could be made to balance itself and thus
maintain the center at First and Spring
streets.
Ii it is found impracticable to open
either of these streets it is only ques.
ton time and growth of population
when we shall do our banking at Fifth
street, and our shopping at Sixth and
Seventh streets. A. Vox.

THE WOMAN AND THE MONEY.
Mr. Flint objects TO the Conduct OF
Hist JailOr.


The Rev. Mr.. John Bess, a preacher
and elder in the colored church, was ex-
am ined yesterday before Mr.. Justice
King, in the Township Court, on the
charge of grand larceny, and discharged.
The complaining witness was Phil Flint,
another colored man, with whom Bess
used to live. According to the account
given, one night. about two weeks ago,
Mr.. Flint got drunk and went to sleep
upon the floor of the porch in front of his
house. While in condition of semi
consciousness, he felt some one that
he believed to be John Bess going
through his pockets. That same night
Bess disappeared, and Flint woke up to
find himself robbed of $50 in gold
twenties-which he had had in his
pockets. But that was not all. Mrs.
Flint, who had become very much at
tached to tine reverend brother, had also
disappeared. She could not have been
very satisfactory as a b bstter-half, for Mr..
Flint remarked On several occasions that
Bess might have the woman if he wanted
her, but he should not have the money.
En- examination, iteppeared that there
was nothing in the evidence to secure a
conviction, and the man was discharged.

He Writes to Friend and Tells
HIS story.
Some time ago young lawyer of this
city by the name of s. B. Lockwood dis
appeared, and no clue could be obtained
as to his whereabouts. Lockwood ran
for Justice of the Peace on the Demo
cratic ticket last fall. He left wife be-
hind him. 1t was feared by his friends
that there had been foul play, but let
ter received in Pasadena few days ago
clears up the whole matter. 1t seems
that, on the 9th of last March, Lock-
woods mother.in.law arrived in the
city and gave him three $50 drafts
on Wells, Fargo & Co. and asked
him to get them cashed. That night
Lockwood got drunk, and he thinks he
was drugged and steered into some
gambling room, for the first thing he
knew he was in Houston, Texas. From
there he went to New Orleans, where he
lay sick in hospital for four weeks. As
soon as he was we'll enough he went on
to st. Louis, where he was compelled,
through lack of money, to go to work
washing buggies to keep from starvation.
When he got together money enough to
travel on, he went to Monmouth, ILL.,,
where his wife's people lived, and they
took care of him. His wife is now in

WATER CONDUCTORS.
The Ordinance ON That subject to
be Carried Out.

The Ordinance ON That subject to
be Carried Out.
Colonel Morford, the Superintendent
of Streets, is making a business of en-
forcing a number of ordinances which
have for some time been neglected. One
of these is the ordinance on water con-
ductors. The law requires that there
shall be conductor under the sidewalk
to the gutter of the street. A number OF
the property-owners on the main streets
of the city have been content to allow
the rainwater to flow down pipe and
empty out upon the sidewalk. In rainy
weather, pedestrians are thus compelled to
walk through a considerable flood. Others
have followed out trench on the side
| walk-this last method has been pur-
sued in many of the residence portions
OF the city, and there have been many
complaints from people who have slipped
and fallen in these trenches. On the
east side of Hill street, near Third there
is one CT these trenches running clear
across the sidewalk several inches deep
and half foot in width-a dangerous
arrangement for one to step into in the
dark.
Orders were issued several days ago to
have these trenches bridged over and to
have the pipes sunk under the sidewalk.
Within the last two days number of
property.owners have been cited to ap-
pear in the Police Court to answer to a
charge of violating the ordinances. On
Spring and Main streets the sidewalk has
been cut up in number of places to put
in the necessary changes,
There are several other ordinances
which the Street Superintendent says
have not been carried cut, and he pro-
poses to bring them all up to time. The
reform in the matter Of sidewalk cutters
is one which has long been deemed
necessary.
