OF mich COWS and feeding calves
is contained in Bulletin No. 4 of the
Purdue University Station. The re-
suits of the experiments made are
summarized as follows:
1. That COWS exposed during
the day to the inclemency of the
weather ate more food than those
given the shelter of a comfortable
barn.
2. That COWS thus exposed gave
on an average less milk per day
than those not so exposed, and
much less milk as a total, during
the experiment, which extended over
rty-eight days in January, Feb
ruary and March.
3. That the cows which were ex.
posed to the weather during thi:
experiment lost in weight, while
those given barn shelter gained in
weight.
4. That there is a difference O
$12 20 in favor of shelter for cows
in winter.

Col. Tureman In the Sixties.

From the New Florence Leader
While in Mexico Tuesday even
ing we met Col. B. b. Tureman,
who away back in the sixties lived
in New Florence. His conversation
drifted back to the time when he, as
clerk for P. P. Ellis, received from
the farmers wives their big ROLLS OF
carpet, jeans, linsey, wool, bacon,
beeswax, ETC., and at the end Of the
Iyear when a settlemant was asked
for, the store owed the farmer $50
to 500 instead of the farmer of the
present day owing perhaps 81, 900.
This wonderful change into Nancy
Hanks rate of living is Mr.. Ture-
mans partial reason for the hard
times. People make 800 and spend
5000.
To show the difference between
this day and when Mr.. Tureman
was young man, he told of unload
ing buggy from the cars at New
Florence and driving over to Antioch
church inCallaway county for preach
ing. The appearance of the buggy,
which was about the first one in the
county, came very near breaking up
the meeting, so uncommon were
they. Mr.. Tureman relates such
instances with a great deal of pleas
ure to his hearers. We are glad to
say he is now wealthy citizen of
Audrain county, enjoying good
health and the pleasures of the
world.
