GOOD DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In starting a dairy it is important to
select good COWS, provide good feed Of
the right kind. feed literally, and
treat kindly. Many COWS are spoiled
by rough and unkind treatment, such
as whipping, kicking and clubbing. Do
not in the name of humanity as we'll as
on the score Of good farm economy, do
any of these things, but. on the other
hand, card and pet them-have the bert
kind of an understanding with your
COWS from calfhood up. Unless you
can and will do this you better let
dairying alone. IL a COW hicks do not
kick her back and she will soon forget
to kick and will receive you kindly.
You can coax bad tricks ouG of five
COWS we're you can drive them cut of

A NEW DAIRY HERD IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Recently a farm in Pennsylvania
county has changed hands and the
owner has begun the establishment of
a herd Of that grand old breed OF cattle
now known as the milking strain OF
Shornhorns.
Mr. H. P. Clarke has laid the foun
dation OF his herd by the purchase of
COWS in the North and West. These
have been selected with care and the
hero has for it's head what the Breed
ars' Gazette once called 1.-The sappy
young bull" lakewood Clay. Kirk
wood Clay is cut of Kitty Clay, 4;h
that produced In the 80 day Columbian
dairy tesC 1881 6 pounds of milk for

Clay An gained 81 pounds in live
weight.
The Breeders Gazette says: ut

from this showing Figures included
a better record of a near relative Kitty

a general purpose cow-a cow which
can probably produce both milk and
beet"
We are glad to see this herd founded
and wish it abundant success in both
it's lines. the production Of dairy prod
ucts and of beef.
Another point in which this herd
will be watched with special interest
is that Mr.. Clarke has selected as his
dairyman, who will accept the duties

where he was not accustomed to speak.
He said that every Christian. however

was only willing. After the lecture II
poor wouen rushed up TO him, and
said. halt indignantly:

woman, her face flushed with excite

Two years after, the man of God
spoke in the same place. After the
service a woman asked him.

"Well, l am the person who was

These feeds are mixed with hay,
worth 80 per ton; stover, worth 81 per
ton, and corn meal, worth SIS per Ton,
aud linseed meal, worth S22 per Ton.
The foundation ration consisted of 81
pounds Of hay, 8 pounds Of corn meal,
l pound of linseed meal and as mucn
slower as the COW would eat. To bal
ance up this ration, 4 pounds of buck.
wheat middlings was added during ore
period, 4 pounds OF brewers grains
during another period, and 4 pounds
Of c~erealine during another.
That the duration OF tins since caiv-
ing and rne varying c,nci5tons OF
weather might not fleet the result, abe
herd WAS divided inUu 3 squads Of II
COWS each, II while one tqlad was
receiving the buck wheat middiing
ration another was receiving the dried
bre wers' grains and the thlrd the Ger
ealine. At the end of forty days the
ratlons were changed, so that the squad
first receiving the buckwheat middIlngs
should receive the brewers grains, and
so on, and at the end Of another forty
days there was another shift, so that
each squad received each ration ont
third OF the time, thus evening up any
difference that might exist in the pro-
ducing merits of the squads.
At the prices quoted above it was
found that the ration containing the
dried brewers grains produced butter
at an average cost of ia cents per
pound, that containing BUCK wheat m d.
dlings at 125 cents per pound, and that
containing ~cerealine at 49, cents per
pound, Eupposing that the and
skim milk will pay for the care of the
COWS and the manufacture and sale of
the butter.
The compiler of the bulletin deducea
the following conclusions:
1. The results of this experiment in
dictate that, for milk aud butter pro
ducEion, dried brewers grain, buck
wheat uiddlings and ~cereaIiue, may
be used economically and judiciousIy,
as part Of a balanced ration.
2 That. so far as could be observed,
none of these foods produced a detri
mental IF Act upon the favor or quality
of the milk and butter.
8 In view of the results stated, the
choice OF the above mentioned foods
would depend entirely upon their cost
delivered at the railroad station.
4 That. with prevailing prices for
dairy products aud foodstufs, and
with good COWS, milk and butter can
be produced at such a c 1st as to leave
a considerable margin of profit for the
dairyman.

to Answer Certain Charges.
Hardly day passes without bringing
some new development in the Fields
Won Olsen case which has been pending
In the Equity Court of the District for
some time. In the original proceedings
Thomas NJ. Fields brought suit against
Wilhelmina A. Z. Won Olsen, alias Minnie
Roberts. seeking to have annulled a mar
riage certificate which she was exhibiting
as evidence of her marriage with him
He also asked that she be restrained from
advertising herself as Mrs. Field. She
failed to answer the charges against her
in the time required by law and decree
pro confesso was granted against her by
Justice Cox one day last week
day or two later, her sister, Lulu
Roberts, through her attorney, filed no.
tice that she would move to have the
decree against her sister vacated or set
aside on the ground that her sister had
no notice of the charges preferred against
her. owing to her absence from the city
at the time.
When asked yesterday what course he
would now pursue in the matter. Mr..
Fields said he was very glad that the
case has taken this turn, and would
gladly consent to waive all his right in
order that the case may be reopened and
heard and disposed of on its merits
In his affidavit which Mr. Fields will
file tomorrow, he says that Wilhelmina
A. E. Won Olsen was for several weeks
or more prior to the filing of the suit in

ting many of the grievances set forth in

As proof of the statement that the de-
fendent had SUFFICIENT notice of the
charges against her, Fields says that two
days after the filing of the suit her sis
ter, Lulu Robert, dcalIed on DR.. Thomas
Miller, No. 1916 Seventh Street northwest,
and asked him for certain information
about affiant regarding this suit, and
then stated to him that she was about to
go TO New York tovisit and see her sister
concerning the suit; that Lulu Robert did
go to New York within the next few days
and did there stopswith, see and visit her

THE LICENSE REFUSED.
The Man Was Seventy-Two and the
Woman Under Age.

John Brown, an aged colored pensioner,
made lively scene in the clerk OF court
office at the city hall yesterday when he
was refused a marriage license for him
self.
Brown was accompanied to the clerk s
Office by his brother, and he was the real
cause of spelling license romance
Brown stated that he was seventy-two
wears old and that the woman he intend
ed to marry was twenty-seven. under
these circumstances there would nave
been no difficulty in obtaining hcehse'
but the brother offered interference by
questioning the veracity of Brown, and
declaring that the prospective bride was
but seventeen years old; that he knew
her since she was a baby, and that she
was born in 1881.
OF course the license was refused ana
Brown began to abuse his brother for
interfering with his affairs. After being
turned out of the clerks office, Brown
and his brother adjourned TO the street III
front of the city hall, where they con-
tinued their quarrel.

in Washington, and his friends are MAX

gone to the Thousand Islands, Montreal
and Quebec for short vacation.
The resolutions are denounced here as
being a blunder of the worst kind on the
part OF the G. A r., doing an injustice
to an honest. capable and faithful official.
II is declared that the resolutions are
the work of certain pension attorneys
who are members of the G. A. R., and
who have been criticised by Commits

tices. and who have taken this method of
venting their displeasure
