If the cows have been stabbed all Win
ter they are likely to become uneasy
as spring advances and long for out
doors. 1t is an excellent plan to turn
them out into sheltered barnyardS that
are clean and so arranged that the cold
spring winds will not blow over them.
Give them some roughage to MUNICH
over while they are out. If it is not
feasible to turn them out yet, then ar
range the stable so they may have all
the fresh air possible without causing
the air to blow over them SO they are
likely to catch cold. The window ar
ranged SO that it may be opened and
the opening covered by the muslin sash
will furnish this air without draught
better than anything else. Especially
give the cows sun if it can be DONE
If there is an open shed on the place
facing the sun into which the cows may
be turned they will enjoy it Immensely.

opinion of dairymen of long experience
this would be one of the worst mis-
takes that could be made The calf

never intended. by all means treat the
calves that are to be raised kindly.

becomes nuisance as it grows; it soon
gets impudent noses around where il
has no business. and, if it's horns are
allowed to grow, becomes dangerous

try to boss the herd after it gets old
and strong enough, and is d nuisance

the head, which appeared as though
they had been iaflicted with hatcnet
Young Sloane has confessed that he
alone killed his father, but said it was
done in the heat of passion, his father
having attacked him when intoxicated.
Young Sloane is only II years old.
Chief of Police Waller believes the
boy cody planned the murder to secure
the $500 which he believed his father
had.
The murder was proralby committed
shortly after midnight, judging from
the condition of the body when it was
found. Mr.. Sloane was fully dressed
but the pockets appeared to have been
rifled. This however, judging from
the later turn of affairs, was merely q
blind to turn aside suspicion.

His Love for Girl in Denver Proves

Locked up at New York police
headquarters is a romantic prisoner,
Louis Mochorosky, youth charged
with the larceny of $4,000 worth of
diamonds several months ago. Mo-
chorosky, who is about II years old,
afforded the police of many states
of this country vain chase and then
went to Europe. 1t is only the love
for a girl in Denver, whom he ven
tured back to the United States to see,
which led to his arrest.
The boy was employed by Isaac
Wolf, a jeweler in the Bowery. One
day last spring Wolf missed num-
Der of diamonds from his stock. Wolf
remembered that the young clerk the
evening before he had helped him
place in a safe the diamonds, which
had been displayed in the store win.

In the battle are involved twice &c

and panic in Wall street followed.
The opposing forces consist of J. p

friends, foreign capitalists on one side
and E. H. Hartman, practical owner
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa.
cific railroads, with Sir William Van
Horne, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy as

race which the Shriners will give on

of the order. E. E. Hutchinson is
in charge, and it is said he has
openly planned to fix the race. This
will be one of the most interesting
features of this years fair. Many
peculiar rules have been adopted fol
the event. If Shriner who is in
one of the machines which is not

out of the motor car, make a dash
for one in front and ride into victory
in the leading machine, if he car
