The Utility of Pain.

Although looked upon as an evil, pain
is kind. 1t tells that the laws Of Nature
rect the cause. If it were not for pain
we should go on doing things that would
destroy us. Pain is a warning that some
thing is wrong, and, instead Of trying to
hush the pain with some drug we should
seek to remove the cause.-New York

Turning to Pasture.

The question of when to turn COWS or
steers to pasture Is an important one,
and the same principle applies to both
classes of stock. A writer, in speaking
Of steers, says: "There are two theories
in regard to the proper time for turn
ing steers to grass, each with points of
advantage. 1t is generally advocated by
American writer's that stock be kept in
the yard until the pastures furnish an
abundance Of nutritious grass. Often,
when stock is turned on such pastures,
the ration of the feed lot is at once cut
of, in which case the change is so vio-
lent as to give the cattle a serious set
back. Under the other system the cattle
are turned to pasture as soon as the
grass begins to grow, and while the
sprlnging blades are still watery and fur
nish little nutriment. The lack Of feed
in the pasture forces the stock to rely
on the feed rack to satisfy hunger. While
the first grass yields little nutriment, it
tenn and prepares the animal gradually
for the change from dry feed to the rich
grass which soon follows. 1t is ii we'll
known fact that stock shrink badly when
changed from feed lot to pasture, and it
is possible that the practice of turning
early to grass, at the same time keeping
up heavy feeding, is better than hold
ing cattle longer on dry food only and
then shifting at once to full pasture In
any event, let grain and some dry for
age be still offered the cattle when first
turned to grass. The subject of large
or small pastures is frequently discussed.
The majority of experienced American
feeders favor single large range, rather
than numerous small pastures. Grasses,
both in variety and quality, are never
quite the same over the whole of q large
pasture, and cattle soon detect the slight
differences and satisfy their desire for
variety by ranging from one spot to an
other. In large pastures the habits of
the animals become regular, and it is in
teresting to study their movements. The
herd will be found in the morning on one
side of the valley. feeding on the more
abundant negotiations; later as the sun $
heat increases they appear on the hill
side, where there is a movement of air
and where the grasses are shorter and
more nutritious; while at noon they are
to be seen resting in the shade at still
another point. This regularity in graz
ing certainly conduces to comfort and
quiet and is of Importance to profitable
returns. When the pastures are cut up
into several lots, the fresh bite of rank
herbagc which comes with each change
leads to irregularity and unrest, thus re-
ducing the gains.

Court Martial War Department
has accepted the challenge OF Capt. r. W.

c'nufedt, United States Army, retired, AM
has TRANSMITTED an the papers referring 20
the case Of the officer t. Mal9J.Ger 81
| Merritt, commanding the Department OF tno
East, at New York, ior court martial pro-
ceedngs.
Several days ago the Adjutant. General,
by direction of the Secretary OF War, or
dered Captain Shuieldt to place himself
within the Jurisdiction of the circuit court
of this county, before which that officer was
the defendant 10 divorce proceedings.
This order was based on representations
of the attorneys of the wife Of the officer
that he had failed to comply with the Or
ders of the court for the payment to his
wife of stated amount of alimony, and
that he remained outside the Jurisdiction
of the State court. The officers counsel
informed the War Department that acting
on his advice, Captain Shufeldt would de-
cline to comply with the orders to place
himself within the Jurisdiction of the court.
He added that Captain Shufeldt had been
declared bankrupt by court in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and could not pay the
slimony, amounting to 5000.
Captain Shufeldt also wrote u letter to
the Secretary of War, protesting against
tue order, and declared his intention to
disobey it. He added that he considered
the o, der as unreasonable, as would be one
which required him TO commit murder or
some other crime
General Merritt has instructions 10 order
a court martial for the trial Of Captain Shu
leldt on charges Of scandalous conduct and
of u conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman.
In June, 1895, Mrs Florence Audubon
Shuleldt instituted proceedings 10 the Cir
cult Court of this county for absolute divorce
from her husband, Dr. Robert W. Shufeldt.
The principal grounds upon which the
action was based was unfaithiuIness. The
case was tried before Judge Henderson
and the petition was dismissed. An appeal
was taken and the Court of Appeals reversed
the lower court and remanded the case for a
new trial. At the second trial here an alb
solute divorce was granted, and Mrs. Shu-
feldt was allowed alimony at the rate OF $50
per month. DR.. Shufeldt resorted To every
means known to human invention to avoid
paying the alimony, even going 30 far as to
absent himself from the Jurisdiction Of this
Court and also going into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Arthur Peter, IS attorney for Mrs.
Shufeldt, finally swore out writ Of nc Great
regnuD., and Shuieldt was arrested and re-
quired to furnish bond not TO leave the juris-
diction of the Court here. He did leave this
jurisdiction, however, and upon the fact be-
coming known the Court declared him In
contempt, and writ of attachment was
issued tor his arrest which is now in the
hands OF the sheriff, but which Shuieldt has
avoided being served by keeping without
the shertf's jurisdiction.
