Yesterday afternoon Capt. Kramer
and Officer Etzel brought Mrs. Nettie
Behel and her two little sons, John
and Henry Bethel, living at 1903
Thirty street, before Magis-
trate Schroeder on complaint of
Charles Holstrom. Mrs. Behel was
arrested on 4 warrant charging her
with no less a crime than attempted
murder, and the two boys were ac-
cused of assault and battery. The
story goes that on Saturday after
noon Holstrom was near the Behel
residence on Thirty-eighth street.
when one of the boys. John, aged 4.
threatened to set his dog on him.
Holstrom. who. by the way. is %
years old, took ofrense at the boys

Henry, the older boy, Is wears old.
attempted to assist his little brother.
whercupon Holstrom assaulted him
with piece of cord-wood. and John
ran into the house and told his
mother that HolStrom was beating
Henry. Mrs. Behel ran out to assist
her son picking up the first thing
she saw, which happened to be re
volver loaded with blank cartridges.

AS she appeared on the scene Hol-
strom was about to hit the boy again
and she shot one of the cartridges to
scare him. but it didn't work-Hol-

FEEDING HElFERS,
She Need of More scientific Treatment
of Young Dairy stock.

Oh leuuS StoCks
The FIRST year of the dairy COW is the
most critical of all her life Immature,
because not more than half grown. she
has had TO give life to her calf She is
now called upon to give milk for her
owner, and within few months she
will again have to furnish life and sus-
tenance for her second calf SO she
has nearly a constant threefold demand
upon her energies, and unless the ut
most skill is taken the usefulness OF
the coming COW will be injured by care
less and ignorant methods of feeding
and care. This young heifer should
receive, not oaly great abundance of
food but that which is succulent and
easily digested, and the greatest care
should be taken to develop the mann
mary gland. That is, her food should
be so regulated that it would not only
sustain her and produce material for
the growth of herself and the embryo
cali, but there should be a surplus re-
suit of the food consumed: the milk
and butter product is the result of this
surplus We want to so breed and feed
calves for the dairy that they will
make cows that viii put this surplus
feed into the milk pail and nowhere
else.
NJ Wish knew how to better empha-
x&tthe need of q more scientific treat
ment of our two-year-old heifers If
all of them could be fed right for one
or two generations, the average prod
uct per COW of our dairies could be
easily raised 90 per cent As soon as
the animal digests and assimilates
more than it wants for its daily susten-
ance, and all healthy animals can di-
gest more than is needed for their daily
wants, 1t seeks to do something with
it. Now it is the province Of the
breeder to direct this surplus energy
into specialized channels, as may be
desired, and creating a tendency to re-
ceive this soIplus and store it in the
form of growth, milk, beef or reserve
energy appears to stimulate the power
of the animal to increase the amount
of surplus assimilated food, aud so the
animal may be induced to go on and in
crease its production until it has
reached the limit or end of the law of
its being. The change and variations
desired often come slowly, but each
additional generation may add some
thing valuable of surplus directed in
the channel best suited to minister to
the wants of makind. p rof. l. T. Rob
