stabIine Dairy Cows.

John Gould. the noted dairyman. keeps
his cows in the stable continuously dur
ing the winter. He says:
The men who are so strenuously on
posed to the keeping of cows in the
stable for four months of the winter, do
not seem to have any valid testimony to
offer against It. and so imagine a lot of
supposed testimony and to the effect
that the cow thus confined for the win
ter is thrust into a dark, damp, unven-
tilated stable, ''reeking with fetid air.
Nth and effiuvia. and thick with the
germs of disease ana what is more
mo stable can be made so perfect that
forty COWS can stand in it through the
winter and not have the air charged
with disease" In all candor who that
practices continuous stabling OF cows
outside of the city swill milk stables,
does tie his cows in stables like the
above, and if no stabling is perfect. how
long do the advocates Of exercise let their
cows stay out days. so to avoid the
germs of disease; for to turn the COWS
out just long enough to drink would be
or no value to ward of disease for the
next twenty-three and one-half hours.
one editor would see a sort of sub
terranaeous animal evolved that neither
sees. smells, walks and crawls. just gives
milk, and yet forgets to mention that the
beast is not otherwise than healthy, a
strange omission, when these cows, tied
up for only a few weeks of the year at
the most, are on the awful verge of
tuberculosis to start with. Not an ad-
vance dairyman who claims for continu-
GUS stabling in the winter talks for the
underground stable. That is an aban-
doned place for the cow. and they do
talk Of an all above ground stable. with
hollow walls, a dry floor, windows in
! abundance, halter ties, and stables not
only cleaned ont every daV but a good
bed, and ventilation so fixed that there
is no inhaling and reminding Of the
reeking filth of the stable for six months.
Give the facts as they are and the
humanitarian" sentiment of the thing
disappears, and resolves itself into good,
practical, common sense, that needs no
manufactured testimony to give it
standing

THAT MEETING.
Gradual Revelations of the Famous
Ticket Counting Affair.


Those who failed to meet at the sec
retary's home Dec. Is will have to draw
largely on imagiation to make good their
loss.
In spite of the unfavorable time of
year five members assembled to transact
the business in hand. The result of the
election you have already heard.
Advance" was elected president,
"Sappho" and Marguerite" We're APP
pointed election committee, and Nurse
held the very important office of door
keeper.
During the early part of the meeting
there was quite a discussion as TO
whether Rover" should be admitted
into the sacred precincts Of the balloting
room. But, fearing he. would be too
strongly tempted to secure votes by foul
means, the doorkeeper was instructed to
keep him out Of both the room and
temptation.
AS soon as business was over the mem
bers laid aside their offices and started
for home. Those present are agreed that
there could not have been more pleas
ant gathering, but more should have en-
joyed it.
The 10 o'clock dinner served by the
hostess consisted of eleven courses, not
including the napkins.
1t has been reported that during the
early part of the day Dora Dickens
sang a song. If any Of the club MEM
bers would like a copy the words may
be found in Webter's dictionary and the
air out doors.

My Highly Esteemed II. L. c. Friends
My time has been so completely occu-
pied with other duties for the last six
months that found no spare moments
that seemed worthy Of devotion to you,
hence. please let this feeble excuse suf-
fee for my negligence.
1 am very grateful for those who
have so kindly mentioned my name
during my absence.
I am happy to say that I was per-
mitted the pleasure of being present at
Miss Kenner's home on the eve of the
18th inst. and witnessed the counting
Of the ballots. The result thereof have
been heretofore printed. To the new Off
GERS extend congratulations. and may
you ever prove worthy of
the honor that has so re-
Gently been bestowed upon you
is my wish. And now few words to the
retiring officers. Remember my graft
tude. which L retain for you. for your
services and the interest you have
manifested in behalf of the H. l.. c.
Now. for slight report Of the bust
ness meeting. There was five members
present, viz: Marguerite" ''Sappho.'
Nurse" ''Dort Dickens and ''Ad-
vance, and as the president was not
present the latter was appointed TO act
as his substitute. The house was called
TO order and the ballots counted acord-
ing to the constitution of the club.
There was one ballot that was ignored,
because no names We're eraced from it,
denOting the candidates it did not sup
port
Immediately after the ballots were
counted refreshments We're ordered by
Dora Dickens" and not a single mem
ber refused to indulge Nurse" acted
as waiter for the occasion and won the
eSteem Of all the members by promptly
obzysng all orders with a pleasant
smile After refreshments were INDUCED
conversed ON the subject of when and
where ii would be the most suitable
u hold our next reunion. And as In
dianapoliS is really the headquarters OF
the H l. G. and the greatest railroad
center in the world, hence ii possesses
the greatest advantage Of quick trans
por;atiOn Of any city, and as we calm
ly reflect over the situation Of the same
we learned that it Is located nearer the
center OF the present membership Of the
II. l. c. than any other city. Hence
we decided in favor Of Indianapolis be-
ing the place that our next reunion
would be held at.
As all railroads have reduced rates
during the holidays we also decided that
~ would be the most appropriate time
to hold our reunion between Dec. 70.
1894. and Jan. 2. 1895. And as a general
rule the majority Of the people take the
advantages Of the HOLIDAYS and il
seems to me that the majority Of the
II. l. G. members might be present at
our next reunion, providing il is held
during the above stated time We, as
members Of the II. L. c., need to i'm
bibe more sociabiIity in the future than
we have in the past if we expect to
succeed as club under our present
objects. We also need to exhibit more

stancbions Tor COWS,

There are many ways Of tieing this
COWS, says Farm and Home. but first OF
all comfort must be kept steadily in
view, for if any of the cows surround
ings are constraining to operate to de-
priye her of ease and fair liberty of
movement the effect is disquiet,ng and
her yield will show unfavorable results.
The simplest tie. the cheapest and that
afording the greatest amount of liberty
and comfort, is pehaps a light chain
around the neck secured to the side Of
the stall or manger. Various plans arc
in use as TO the form of the chain and
methods of attaching and sometimes a
neck strap is used, and again the head
halter is used. but this involves greater
expense. For the average dairynan the
simple chain fills all requirements and il
most popular
The best arranged stables are con-
structed with the rows of cattle facing
each other, with a feeding entry between
and watering devices placed in this pas
sage-way. Some OF the advantages
gained from this position are better fa-
cilities and economy in feeding, the VEN
tilation can be arranged with less dan
ger from drafts, the light from the win
dows being behind is better for the eyes,
and the whole interior is more generally
arranged. Every well-ordered COW barn
should have several open boxes for cows
due to calve, and for the young calves,
and the COWS should occupy these some
weeks before parturition is expected.
There is no object connected with the
winter mana cement of a herd of dairy
cows of more vital interest to the milk
farmer than the consideration OF plans
for dairy stables that are cheap and con-
venient.

Feeding Straw.

C. f. Chapman, a good eastern farm
er, says:
stock will eat more straw and there
will be less waste when it is chopped
and moistened with water and sprinkIed
with meal Whether this would be prof
liable to the farmer would depend upon
his supply Of other feed and the amount
of labor at his command. Where it is
necessary TO economic straw and feed
more grain it would undoubtedly pay to
steam and moisten the straw. l have
never practiced the chopping of any kind
of straw except that of wheat, although
the power and cutter are always ready
in the barn for this purpose. This wheat
straw was fed to horses moiStened and
mixed with a grain ration Of ground
oats, corn and rye.
THE best oat straw is fed to the
horses when not working hard in the
winter A good-sized forlxful is fed
three times a day. The grain ration is
from four to six quarts of oats or rye
meal. Much depends on the horses, but
the aim is to give enough grain to keep
them in good, thriving condition. The
managers are cleaned out before feeding
at night, and the waste used for bed
ding Ny horses are kept in large box
stalls. The COWS are fed large forkful
of barley or buckwheat straw each,
twice day. This is supplemented by a
ration of chopped stalks and mixed grain
meal. The waste is used for bedding.
The sheep are fed straw at noon; either
oat, barley or buckwheat. Plenty is put
in the racks, and what is not eaten is
used to litter the sheds at night"

why Hens Fail 90 Law.

Farm and Fireside says that one of
the mistakes made is in not culling the
flock so as to retain only the profitable
hens. Many persons have become dis
gusted with poultry as a business be-
cause they kept, at an expense, a lot Of
hens that were not worth the room they
occupied, and which served only as an
incumbrance to those that were pro-
ducers, and this mistake is a very COM
mon one with those who buy a large
number of hens with which to begin, as
they are sure to receive some that are
useless along with the best. Any sys-
tenn Of feeding is expensive if the hens
do not lay, and the greater the number
of non-productive hens the more cost is
added to the eggs received. The fact
that there are many fiocks from which
no eggs at all are received is we'll known,
and this condition is one that should
receive attention.
When few hens prove their superior
ity as layers they should not be dis
carded, even if aged The annual sell
ing of the hens, and keeping untried
pullets. is at the bottom of the difficulty.
All pullets that are to be used for re-
placing old hens should be Matched from
eggs laid by the best hens, and the sire
of the pullets should not only be a male
from a prolific breed, but also from a
family Of good layers. Even with this
precaution there will be worthless pull
lets, but they should be gotten rid of
just as soon as their characteristics are
known. Delays are dangerous in such
cases.
Hens may fail to lay also because of
improper feeding. An egg is very COM
plete in its composition, as il will pro-
duce a chick, and the food TSust nee
essarily correspond. The safest and
best course TO pursue is to feed a vari-
ETY.. When this is done. and some of the
hens lay regularly, and others not, it is
time to save food, shelter and labor by
getting rid Of those that are unprofit-
al

i hat drummer for a St. Louis house came up from Fairbank this afternoon driving delapidated mis- matched team with a haxen haired youth for companion. Tine seat was SO uncomfortable and the boy So sleepy, that the drummer stood up all the way and pushed the ribbons with one hand and the whip with the other.
 Three immense "arks" filled with sample hats, completed the load. He had not been in town over three min utes before the chief of police struck him for s license for doing a stage bus;ness. This being his first trip here he was not "onto" the racket and protested, bu; it was no go. He offer ed to give up the team, wagon, faxen haired boy and the whip, but the chief had m stable and refused. The 8 was p-id and the City Council will declare a dividend at its next meet ing,

ONLY THREE ROUNDS.
The Big Fight was a Little
 Show for S25 a Ticket.

JACKSONVILLE Jan. 25-The rain has been coming down m torrents all day but this does not dampen the ardor Of the throng os spectators gathered from all parts of the country to witness the contest for the worlds champ ionship between Corbett and Mitchell. The decision 0. the court restraining the sheriff from interfering with the fight; had dampening effect upon the militiamen who are here in force and Gov. Mitchell who is here in person.
 F M.-Gov, Mitchell has given up the fight and will make no move to stop the arrangements which are go- ing on at the original amphitheater selected for the fight.
 Gov. Mitchell has been extended an invitation to witness the fight by the Duval club but laughingly declined. The mi.iliamen have been offered half rate tickets.
 l P. M.-The fight has been post pored to 3 p m, on account ot heavy rain. Il may be sull further post poned.
 Bets oi 5000 to $4OO have been posted on Corbett but Mitchell money is scarce.
 Both men are confident and in the pink o; perfection.
 ? 2P M.-The impalience Of tue crowi and q streak of sunshine were the inducements offered 10 call the, fight. Both principals were ready and appeared amid great cheering.
 The fight last,d | but three rounds, Mitchell made sally in the frs. and got in two blows on Corbetts neck but received severe punishment on the body for his trayery. In the second he was knocked down but WAS on his feet again when time was called.

To the cost of running the sherifl7s office last year as shown above must be added the amount allowed by the district court in the agreed case which although paid this year was on last year's account. This amounted to S2697.34 making total for that office of sIO42S S2, and total expense for the county of $420l2 70.
 Taking from the year '92 the cost of the elections and we have for compar- ason the following figures for main taining the county government: For 1892 ................SiI753 02 For 1893 ................$i $i2Ol2 70

 It is notable fact that the ladies who visit the exhibit, invariably pause almost spell bound in contemplation of the ugly Gila monsters, enormous snakes and hideous horned toads and lizards, and pay no attention to the beautiful rainbow culors of the thou sand and one birds of the collection.
