Cows In Springtime

In the Springtime, great care should
be taken of the cow as she approaches
maternity. All hearty grain rations
should be taken away and lighter feed
such as bran, potatoes and turnips sub
stituted. This is doneto rid her system
OF waste material, which might make
her feverish after maturnity.
She should be placed in large capa-
cious box stall and the calf should be
taken away within 24hours after birth,
If the cow is to be MIXED the following
season. Immediately after the calf is
dropped, the cow should be given a warm
bran mash using or s quarts of bran
with water enough to thoroughly moist
en- it. The cow should not be allowed
any cold water for at least one day after
she comes in. Her drinking water
should beg gagged and thoroughly warm
ed. Gradually she will be brought
back to hearty ration of hay, grain
and corn mixed with meal and fed once
day. This method will bring cow
throughthoroughly healthy and in g God
condition for her seasons work, and
prevent milk fever and other diseases
which cause so much loss in the SPRING
time.-Register.

Fatal Accident,

On Saturday last as Mrs. Ole Trones
and her sister, Miss Minnie Bryngel-
son, were driving from this city to their
home in Kandota, each holding in her
lap a child OF Mrs. Trones, the horses
became unmanagable near the Andrew
Lingg place, and the buggy striking
a stump was upset, throwing all four
of the inmates to the ground with
great violence. One child, babe tof
eleven weeks, was killed and Miss
Bryngleson was cut severely about the
head and rendered unconscious. I.
P. Trones, father in-law OF Mrs. Tro-
mes, was but little way behind, and
in few minutes came up with the
wreck, and assisted in caring for the
injured and righting the wreck. Mrs.
Trones was not seriously injured, but
the death OF her baby boy was ter
rible shock to her. The other child.
boy two years old, escaped WITHOUT
injury.

we're task it is setting for itself. The
third concert will be held on Wednes-
day evening of next week and at that
time the orchestra selections will all be
new-the very latest compositions of
the best musicians. There will be the
usual variety of classic and popular
music, and ladies quartette will
assist. The gentlemen's quartette,
which was one of the features of the
last concert, will also have place in
the programe.
The two concerts already held are
sufficient guaranty that the next one
will be well worth attending.

Fine Cattle.

Last week Frank M. Connolly bought
OF Win S. Lamb four head of cattle,
two heifers and two sterrs, coming
three years old, which weighed to-
gether $500 pounds, and for which he
paid $3.50 an average of $45. 90 a head.
Thetcatlle were stall fed, of course,
and had been cared for and attended
by A. E. Lamb, a son of Win. Better
beef for the block it would be difficult
to find, and they brought fancy price.
Those already slaughtered dressed
nearly sixty per cent. of marketable
beef.
1t pays to raise good cattle, and
then to give them the best of care.
One half or more of the beef slaugh-
tered in this city will not bring more
than an average of s25 per head, cost
ing the farmer practically as much to
raise as did these.
