NOTES FRoNTHE DAIRY.

When you see frost on your window pane snd have to draw e little nearer to the stove to s'tosst your shins,, give your cows in the stable the benefit of the doubt, that they may not be just as comfortable as they might and ought to be. A journey to the barn with the ap- plication of 8 good warm bedding of straw under them, will perhaps remove that doubt.
 The better COW has been taken care of during her life the longer she will continue to be a useful milker. Such cows are often productive milk producers at from 12 to 15 years of Sge. It is al- ways a good plan for one man to milk the same cows from day to cay. They become used to his touch and presence then and give down their milk easily and naturally.
 An exchange says: The COW that has been bred for milking purposes can be profitabiy kept for that use until she is eight years old. If .she does not remain a good milker for that length of time, her breeding is lat fault. This is beyond the age at which the animal can be profitably made into beef. The moral is that if you are after a milker, don't lay much stress on having a good beef animal, too.
 An ansmal with a good appetite, and which eats large quantity of food, giving milk or making growth propcr- tionateiy, should be preferred to one thst thrives on less food but which pro- duces bus little. The object in keeping stock is to convert she food into the most product at the least cost, and if one animal can do the work of two ie is an advants&e--The Practical Da,ry- man.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S DEFAULTING TREASUR-
 FER KNOWN HERE.
 The people, or few of the capitalists in this vicinity at least, were last week somewhat surprised in reading of the disappearance and later developments of the course taken by Elk State Treasurer W. w. Taylor of South Dakota, who bas been slightly known here ia the past few years. When Rev F. s Child, now of Fairfield, Ct.. was pastor of this Village church, Mir Taylor came here as former friend and neigbbor. While here the pre- sent state of South Dakota was just looming up and booming as grain cent CT and MT Child, after trip through that section, wrote an interesting state- mept which was printed in pamphlet form and generously distributed among his numerous friends concerning the re- sources and future prospects of that sec- Uion of our land. The Northwestern Trust & Mortage Co. was born or first Taylor, being an active agent of the same, made several visits here about that time and since, ostensibly in it's interests, and to solicit and secure patronage. How we'll he succeeded is not fully known but it is safe to say he found some who would avail themselves of it's advantages as represented and to which has been added from year to year more bondhold- CTS in this vicinity. When MT Taylor became more and more interested in the First National Bank of Redfield, South Dakota, he il fluenced Frank $. Hump
 hrey, oldest son of Dea George s. Hump hrey now If this place, to migrate and try his fortune or his talents with the same Franks abilities have been SC | mark and appre ciated there, that he
 has from time to time been promoted till two years ago he rose to be cashier ot the bank. From all that we have read
 we can find nothing derogatory to Mr Humphreys business methods but that
 the bank has stood we'll with all it's par
 rons and is now suppose to be in safe | financial condition, although closed f., examination. Mr Taylor has been here | for 10 years and was accounted shrewd successful business manager, and has ir South Dakota been adjudged worthy | by his zeal for the state's welfare, to rist l in prominence and worth to the state | treasurership Now, when this ci- tern oi
 mans hewing proves to be in part g
 'broker cistern" it is perhaps unwise te decide too hasty on MT Taylor's past
 motives. We sincerely hope the bank
 and mortgage company, of which he is president, may prove to be in sound | financial condition. At present we heal
 no figure placed upon the value of the in
 terest, coupons of the mortage com
 pany, which have been easily exchanged
 here for the cash in the pay. We thinl
 it is about two years since Mr Taylor | made his last visit here
