Winter Dairying

In many sections most of the
COWS freshen in the spring. The
more observing and careful
dairymen, however, having
found that winter dairying has
many advantages, are breeding
their COWS to drop the calves in
the fall. The following are some
of the advantages of winter
dairying:
First, higher prices are obtain
ed for milk and cream. AS the
usual season for cows to freshen
is the spring, milk has always
been plentiful during the early
summer and scarce and higher
during the winter.
Second, milk and cream can
be handled in cold weather with
less danger of souring, so there
is little loss on account of milk
returned from the creamery.
Third, the amount of labor on
the farm is better distributed
throughout the year. If the
COWS freshen in the spring they
are in full flow of milk and need
the best care when work in the
fields is most pressing. On the
other hand, if the cows calVe in
the fall and are milked during
the winter, the farmer can give
them close attention, has more
time to study the problem of
feeding, and can give his men
employment all the year and in
that way get better help.
Fourth, the lactation period is
heightened and the amount of
milk given during the year in
creased. Cows that freshen in
the spring milk heavily while
grass is good, but as the pastures
dry up the flow of milk falls off
and with the approach of winter
the COWS are nearly dry. If they
freshen in the fall, they should al
once be started on a good winter
ration, and when they have beer
MIXED six months it is time
to turn them to pasture and for
time the flow of milk will be near
ly as great as that from fresh
COWS. Recent Investigations b1

Charles Davis Arrested as the
Horse Thief.

Charles Davis, colored, was arrested
and placed lin Jail on Monday evening
on suspicion of being the thief who
stole the horses belonging to Mr.. Benz.
Bowie and MIR. Bruce Buck several
months ago.
Davis walked into town on Monday
evening and was recognized by several
persons as the stranger who was seen
in the neighborhood on the days the
horses were stolen.
He was questioned in Jail by States
Attorney Roberts and Sheriff Hardy
and from information gained they
found that he lived in Montgomery
county, near Tenleytown, and was a
huckster. From his neighbors, the
Sheriff and Mr.. Buck learned that Davis
had had two horses tallying with the stol
en- horses and Mr.. Bowie's horse was
found working in contractors wagon
in TenleyUown, to whom Davis had sold
him for $40. The other horse which re-
sembled the stolen horse of Mr.. Bucks
had been worked and starved by Davis
until on Monday morning he fell in the
street. Davis then sold him lying
down to a man for $500, and before
this man could get him up policeman
came along and shot the horse. The
hide of this horse was found, but it
was so badly Scared that Identification
was difficult. 1t is said Davis left his
wagon and harness with the man to
whom he sold the last horse and told him
he would be back the next day after it.
He was seen by several people Monday
afternoon walking the road to Marlboro
from Oak Grove, with package under
his arm and when arrested few hours
afterward he had no package. This
package, it is believed contained a
bride and was hidden by him on the
rood side until night when he would
get another horse.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr.. Buck
who not only lost one of the most
valuable horses of the neighborhood
but has spent great deal of time and
money in trying to locate him since he
was stolen.
If Davis IS guilty it is to be hoped
that he will be convicted and punished
severely.
