COr1FORT OF COWS
Is the Subject of very. Valuable
Article by E. 6. Bennett.
Furnished by H. N. BixbyI

E. G.. Bennett, of Tripoli, Iowa, in
writing the New York Produce Review
and American Creamery about dairy
matter says:
Gone of the hardest things to inn
press npon the farmers is the value
of comfort to the COW. No matter
how we'll and wisely we feed, if the
cow is not comfortable she will not
eliminate a full mess of milk. When
the COW is wet and chilled she uses
the food for warming herself, and
what is used in this way does not ap-
pear in the milk pail. 1t is gone,
radiated to the wild prairie winds;
lost forever, A cold rain causes her
to shrink in milk. A raw wind dries
her up. Foraging in the stock fields
in winter will do more harm than
good. She must be where the tenn
perature approximates summer tenn
perature if she is to make milk as she
will in summer weather. Don't send
the COW to the fields for her feed in
cold weather; bring the feed to her,
Winter pastures are the delight of the
horse raiser and the steer farmer, but
a delusion to the winter dairyman.
Be not deceived. The weather in
winter is nor suited to milk produc-
ton and the COW must be sheltered
from the rain, snow and wind. No
matter how much green grass you
have out in the winter pasture, the
COW giving milk is not the animal to
turn out there to eat it. She will do
we'll at it for time, but soon will
adjust herself to the climate and fat
ten instead of continuing to fill the
pail until spring. The place where
creameries have to shut down in win
ter because Of lack of milk is where
winter pastures are the most Of a
success, and the places where winter
dairying is most successful are those
where no reliance is placed on winter
pasture for COW feed. This does not
prove that succulent food like silage
and roots is deleterious in winter.
Far from it. But succulent food
should be fed in warm barn, not in
the open field. This is hard to i'm

be exposed during the next three
months, are more numerous than
ever. Added to this is the fact that
wheat is better held, both by farmers
and traders, than ever before. Mills
are buying only what is required for
daily consumption, owing TO the high
price, and the foreigners are pursu-
ing the same course. Still the de-
mand from abroad continues excel
lent, and with this substantial back
ing to the market friends of wheat
are very confident of their position.

Elk River, Mimi. Oct. %, 1871
was working out and did not feel we'll,
but kept at work till July when my
limbs broke out with running
sores as large as quarter of dol
lar. There were three on each leg, I
knew my blood was bad and SO I got
a bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla, I
took it all and it cured me entirely
and made me feel like new man.

the steer. The more rich food a steer
has the less he cares for shelter. He
will often sleep in the snow for
choice. The heifer fed like a steer
will be much like one, and as unlike
what should be as possible. Be care
full not to put her on a starchy diet
and expose her to the cold winds, nor
even keep COW in milk on pas
ture in cold weather. Shelter her,
make her comfortable without forcing
her to use her feed as fuel to keep
her warm. Exposure is fatal mis-
take no matter how seductive may be
the temptation.

CONFIDENCE PUDDING.

A subscriber to the Wellington Voice
sends that paper the following recipe
for confidence pudding" and we re-
publish it for the benefit of those in
Barber county who desire to know
what ingredients are used in making it:
"As subscriber to your paper wish
to send you a recipe for publication
known as Confidence Pudding, which
l hope President Mckinley and his cab
met Will examine closely till the next
regular session of congress. The recipe
is as follows: Take three gallons of
conience. one peck of international
agreement, one quart of gold standard
seven tablespoonfulls of prosperity two
quarts of sound money. and one pound
OF projections; boil it twelve months
with Clevelandism and eat while hot.
and if this doesn't prove the nastlest
dish of which the American people are
to partake, then pray the Lord God to
have mercy on US as nation Of civilized
people, and that some day in the near
future we may get relief without beg

THERE is one republican paper which
comes to our exchange table that has
the audacity to say that the miners
strike is a result of the Wilson German
Brice tariff law. 1t would have sound
ed just as we'll for this discriminatory
of knowledge to say that it is on ac-
count of the revolutionary war. The
W-G-B. law is now breathing its last
and every mine owner IN America il
we'll aware of the fact that in a short
time this country will have full fiedg.
ed republican tariff measure. Common
sense teaches man that if the Wilson
law had been responsible for the strike
it would have been inaugurated long
ago, not at the time 1t is about to be re.
pealed. We suppose that after the
Dingley bill Is in full force, all our ills
will be due TO the Wilson bill, accord.
ing to the theory of our republican
friends. Great reasoning that,

KANSAS crops are a great deal better,
generally speaking, this year than they
were last year, and if we desired to fol-
low in the foolish strain of thought EN-
ployed by our republican friends we
would bless the Leedy administration
for it. But this would be extremely
silly; it is neither due to the state ad-
ministratiOn nor the national admins,
tration, it is on account of more rain
fall and better growing conditions. If.
however, crops all over the state were
as near a failure as they have been In
past years times would be worse than
they have ever been before. They are
bad enough as it is. Wheat is selling
for only trifie more than cost of pro-
ductlon and other farm products at
about the same figure. Good crops in
most parts of the state is the only en-.
couraging feature of the times in Kan.

TIE STRIKE.

ne SLrlko which was ordered few
weeks ago by the United Nine Work.
ers' Association and subsequently car
ried into effect with practical unani-
nifty, is not without its demoralizing
effects. The United. Mine Workers
have a strong and thorough organiza-
ton and the wisest man can not even
make an intelligent guess as to where
it will end if the mine owners are de-
termined to pursue the policy which
they have apparently outlined. The
leaders in the movement do not counsel
violence, but already we see signs of its
inception. When men are out of en-
ployment and they and their families
begin to feel the effects of hunger they
will not be Over-cautiOus as to what
they do. Their wrath is aroused and
they are learning to hate and abhor the
very existence of the men who are re-,
sponsible for their distress. The reas-
OnS why the miners should be indig-
nant are numerous and when the mat
ter Is given careful and unbiased
thought it is strange that they should
hold their temper as we'll as they do.
These hardworking men lined up to the
polls last fall and cast straight repub
lican ticket because they were made to
believe that on the success of the re-
publican party depended their chances
for continuous labor and remuneratiye
wages, and the disappointment coming
just at the time the fruits of the prom
ised reward should begin to appear, is
almost like death blow. They are not
only deprived of living wages but their
votes were stolen from them last No.
vember. Through false promises and
deception they were induced to cast a
vote against themselves; they voted
themselves into serfdom. 1t is not in
the least surprising that they have risen
up in indignation but it is a wonder
that their employers are safe from bod
lily Injury. But Notwithstanding the
fact that the strikers are an orderly peo-
pie, there is no telling how long this
quiet state of affairs will continue to
exist, and, predicting future events
from what we have seen from like
events of the past, the contemplation is
anything but pleasant. There must be
disposition on the part of capital to
recognize the rights of labor or there
will be something more than strikes.
The American laborers are not lgno-
ramuses though they are by some re.
garded as such, and they have endured
the imposition as long as they can. II
is time that owners of mines and Other
institutions which employ labor, look
we'll to their duty, and treat their mer
like human beings. If they don't, there
will he such an uprising and such re-
volt that all their wealth cannot employ
a sufficient amount of hellions to sup
press them. There will be a limit t
this persecution.

WE notice that the Peoples party CEN
trail committees Of great many coun-
ties in the state are requiring Populist
candidates to announce their candidacy
in the Populist papers prior TO the nom
mating convention. The argument
employed by the committees is that il
gives the people an opportunity of
knowing and studying the character of
candidates and thus avoid mistakes
which often happen in making norlna-
tions. The most plausible objection
urged against 1t is that it is in direct
opposition to the principle of the office
seeking the man. The Barber county
committee has not expressed itself on
this subject and candidates. prospect.

The Alva Republican has purchased
the Pioneer, and we presume the paper
as consolidated, will be published as a
republican paper. This leaves Alya
with three papers-two Populist and
one republican. There is no reason
why the Courier and the Review should
not consolidate also. Alva can not
support more than two papers. AT
this distance the consolidation of the
democratic and republican papers of
Woods county looks as though prepa-
ration is being made for demo.repub-
lican fusion.

THE Topeka Capital takes serious
exceptions to our statement that man
without money has no show under our
present social system. The INDEX
does not expect that the Capital or any
other corporation mouthpiece will in
dorse what is said in its editorial col.
umns, but the fact still remains that
the poor are being Disseminated
against all over the world. Gentlemen
of wealth are gentlemen of honor and
distinction ex-ofticlo, even though they
be more corrupt than Satan himself
The Capital in this connection speaks
of the prosperous and happy condition
of the Kansas farmer. If such IL the
case it has not come 10 our notice. We
know that the farmers of southern and
western Kansas are not burdened with
prosperity to any great extent. The
delinquent tax list in Barber county
last year was larger than any one pre-
viously published, and this years list
will be still greater. Ask any farmer
why he does not pay his taxes and he
answers that prices for products are so
low that he finds it impossible to do so
after paying other expenses. Each
year the condition of the farmers, not
only of Kansas. but OF the whole world.
is growing gradually worse and it is
dense ignorance or deliberate falsifica-
ton that will picture them in para.
disc of plenty, happiness and content.
We would be eager to say that our path
as well as that Of our farmer friends, is
strewn with roses, but each days ex-
Derience proves that it is covered with
thorns.
