affairs of the Framingham Savings

Gratis.

Manchester, n. H.. March S--The 225
towns and four of the eleven cities of

FOR COUNTY TREASuRER.

Upon the solicitation of a mum
Der of prominent people of Iron
county, all of them taxpayers
and residing on both sides of the
county. NJ. II. Moriarty has con
scented to become candidate for
the Office of county treasurer.
Mr.. Moriarty did not make up
his mind fully upon this matter
until the present week and he
would say TO all of his friends
that he will be a candidate for
the nomination upon the Re
publican ticket this fall. 1t is
unnecessary for us TO introduce
Mr. Moriarty TO the people of
this county. He has been before
the people for the last ten years
and is known TO every man, wo-
men and child in the county.
Although Mr.. Moriarty is in
terested financially in this paper
il is by no means his personal
organ nor is he cognizant of This
announcement. We are for Mr..
Moriarty not simply because of
the fact but that he is interested
with us here but on the very good
grounds that he is pre- eminently
the man for the Office and will be
just the kind OF man that the
people of this county want in
that position at the present
time. II is time that our people
awoke to the fact that county
orders are worth 100 cents on
the dollar and that the county
need pay no enormous prices for
sundry necessaries because their
orders cannot be cashed at their
face value. We know of no
other man in the county that
will bring about this condition
sooner or better than M. II.

DRYING OFF cows.
by a Recent Writer in the
jersey Bulletin.

I have but one cow in my herd of
20 cows in milk that has ever been
dry more than month at time, saws
a writer in Jersey Bulletin. Most of
them have never been dry at all. Al
though. mo-. used in the dairy for a
month before calving, they are regu-
larly MIXED. That one cow was
brought into my herd and was dry
three months before her first calf after
I bought her. She was in calf when
bought. With her next calf, I kept
her in milk up to within six. weeks,
which is about, her dry time now. I
have never been able to discover any
difference between the: well7fed cows
that never go dry and those that. go
dry from one tt two Months, 50 far as
health and vigor go, OF fasting quail
ties. I think it is largely a matter of
habit. > If = leifer il al1owed,to 60 dry
with het first calf, She lis more apt to
go dry little longer with her next.
In fact, the whole character of the
COW, 50 far as man can shape it, is
made in the heifer. If the child is
father of the man, the heifer is other
OF the COW. -r.Si.. e." f.t''
