Develop the Heifcrs.
One great secret of the development
of "a heifer for dairy consists in putting
OIL the return of the progeny for PEE
riod of not less than six months after
the birthof the first calf, says the Devon
BUi'tttR. This leaves all the energies
of the COW free To spend themselves in
milk production When heifer first
comes to her milk, the milk glands
which constitute the udder are in an
undeyeloped condition. With these, az
with all other organs, growth Is stimu-
lated by use. Everything should now
be done to secure an abundant and pro-
longed flow of milk. If the udder
should be congestel and hard, it is bet
ter to let the calf suck the COW for a
period sufficient to secure a perfectly
healthy condition at this point Dur
ing this period the mother should have
no stimulating food. Ii the udder is
well from the start she should have
nothing more stimulating than wheat
bran 10 moderate quantity. We have
seen valuable heifers permanently de-
prived of part Of the udder 10y failure
to observe the necessity of securing
perfect freedom from Inflammation
and from traces of hardness before be-
ginning TO feed grain. As soon as the
udder is in perfect order let the calf
be Weaned or removed to another
mother. 1t win be fortunate for the
future of the heifers If she has dropped
her young just before grass time. This
Is the chief argument for arranging
matters so that cows come in during
April and May. The fresh grass of the
early season is Just the food for our
purpose. With this give a good dash
OF wheat bran, corn meal and gluten
or linseed oil meal, using judgment
based on careful observation of the
milk increase by daily weighing. Oats
may substituted for corn meal. A
good mixture is in the proportion Of
two pounds of corn meal or oats. two
Of gluten or iinseed oil meal four of
wheat bran. The feed may rise from
four pounds to eight per day, accord
ing to apparent need. Be sure your
heifer has abundant good grass and
clear water. Watch her closely spare
no pains, for this is a critical period.

It has just leaked out that poor old
crippled Hebrew from Persia who
could speak no language but Persian
and ancient Hebrew. was recently put
into an insane asylum here and cruelty
treated, says n Globe dispatch from
San Francisco. His story reads like a
romance. Chaskel Haleyy was poor
man in Bagdad when two years ago
he was crippled by paralysis. He
heard that his brother in Bombay was
wealthy, so he set out for India. At
Bombay he found his brother he'd gone
to Hong Kong, and mt Hong Kong he
learned he was in Yokohama. There
he found his relative, but so poor that
Chaskel determined to return to Bag
dad by way Of San Francisco, He
begged enough to reach here, where
charitable Hebrews gave him shelter.
He walked only with crutches, and one
day, boys stole these, leaving him help
less far from home. He begged aid
from policeman but as he tried, in
Persian custom, TO kiss the officers
hand, the policeman thought he was q
vicious drUukard trying to bite him,
and cIubbcd ChaSkel over the head uu-
iii the poor Hebrew was iHseusible. He
was arrested for drunkenness and sent
to the aims house. He made frantic
appeals in Hebrew but no one under

A Peep Into the studio Of Chicago Art
Glass.

ieep into the studio OF Chicago ARR
Glass.
On a platform raised about three
feet above the level of the floor stood
what appeared at the first glance to be
a magnificent model Of a woman in
wax. One hand rested lightly on a
table, the other on her hip. The figure
was Of robust build and beautifully
proportional, while the pose was
graceful, easy and as immoyably main
tanned as that of statue. A faint
wave OF color mantling the cheek was
the only thing which warned the re-
porter that this was no triumph of the
wax-workers art, but in reality living
woman clad ia nothing beyond bushes
and her native modesty.
As the JoHrHat man made tour Of
the easels and di.hiently compared the
different studies with the original, not
a word was spoken, and the work went
on as unconcernedly as if the living
model had been nothing more than one
of the plaster casts from which the
young women in the antique class were
working. As for the model herself,

Harry M. Stillwell, travelling and solic-
iting agent for the Manufacturers Acct.
dent Indemnity Company, Geneva, N.
Y, was arrested at Greenfield last Thurs.
day by Detective Frank Dooly and
Deputy Sheriff Woodrow on the charge
Of bigamy and brought here and lodged
in Jail. On Friday he was removed to
Wood county, where the offense was
alleged to have been committed. The
warrant was sworn out by Neal Stillwell,
his last wife, and this, together with
some letters very damaging to Stillwell's
character, was sent to Sheriff Mackerley
on Wednesday. Hence the arrest. The
accused, according to his own statement,
has been married three times. About
two years after the death OF his first wife
he was married again. Discovering this
woman to be of bad character he sepa.
rated from her and instituted proceed.
ings for divorce. Pending these proceed.
ings he found out that she had q
husband living at the time of his mar.
riage with her, from whom she was
separated but not divorced. Upon this,
with the advice of his attorney, he
abandoned the suit for divorce and felt
himself free again, therefore his third
marriage was perfectly legal. 1t must
be admitted that Stillwell was somewhat
fast and very indiscreet in his actions in
this county and elsewhere, but if his
story is true he is not felon and his
character may yet be vindicated.
