ton period and while the COW is dry
Is the secret Of preparing the COW for
the succeeding lactation period. This
may appear to be wasting feed, but
this is the important period when it ia
most valuable. During the last few
weeks Of the milking period grain may
be fed at the rate of one pound to each
two pounds of milk produced, reducing
at the period when the COW is to DO
dried. When dry, about eight pounds
Of grain should be fed daily-more II
the cow is in poor condition. 1t would
not be profitable to feed inferior cows
this way. The grain ration should be
bulky, laxative and nutritious, having
slightly more carbohydrates than q
milk ration, with nutritive ratio Of
about one of protein to seven of carbo-
hydrate and fat equivalent
During this period protein and fatty
tissues are actually being stored upon
the body to be used in the production
Of milk before the COW is in shape to
digest and assimilate full ration. 1t
is just as serious to crowd the appetite
during the first month after calving as
to neglect to lay on this supply Of nu-
trients. The COW should be kept hun
CRY.
A week before calving reduce the
grain to four or Eve pounds. feeding
mostly bran and oats. On the day Of
calving pound and half of epson
salt, lukewarm water and good hay
are enough for well conditioned COW,
although two quarts of bran mash may
be useful. Begin the next day feeding
lightly, and after four or FIVE days in
troduce grain mixture gradually. In.
crease this gradually about one-fourth
pound per day. Do not expect COW to
handle all the feed called for by her
yield Of milk. If she has been properly
conditioned and is coming to good
fow from one month to six weeks is
early enough to get her on full feed.
For from three to six months she should
gradually lose the flesh stored up.

1000, 0G0 SURPLUS
IN POSTAL SERVICE
Is the Largest Amount Ever Returned
i'll the History of the Department
May Revise Rates.

WASHINGTON. Oct 30-Thc post
office department has turned into the
treasury a surplus of $9,0G0O00, de-
clarcd to he the largest in its history.
and which, according to those who op-
posed the increased postal rates inn
posed III the revenue bill. is a direct
retutation OF the contention that there
was deficit in the system, due mainly
TO sccond-class matter which was car
ried at loss Of 50 100000 a wear
The great surplus earned by the de-
partment shows that there was no great
need for increased rates on all kinds of
matter. I'm other words. the increased
rates made in the last bin were merely
for taxation purposes, and had no bear
ing UPON the condition Of the postof
flee department, which was not intend
cd to be 4 moneymaking part of the
government.
If the same ratio of business is main
tanned in the next fiscal year it is esti-
mated that with the increased rates on
all kinds of mail the surplus will not
be less than S75,0O0.000 The experts

crease would bring in 500 100000.

Wright Was Shot and seriously wound
er Saturday night hy Lloyd Benton,
who afterward turned the gun upon
himself. iuflicting two wounds. The
cause of the shooting is unknown, as
Mrs Wright refuses to give full de-
tails Of the affair to the authorities.
Benton was taken to a hospital ut Bur

Mr.. Wright left Saturday for east
EN- New York. and later Benton, who
has been the hired man in the family
for some time, having come with the
Wrights from New York a few years
ago, went to Morrisville, where he is
said to have secured knife and shells
for his revolver.
Late in the day, Mrs. Wright went
to the barn to help with the milking
machine. According to her story, or
as much Of it as she could be induced
ito tell, Benton began shooting the mo-
mcnt she appeared in the door. He
fired twice, while standing so near to
her, that If his aim had been good,
either shot would have proved fatal.
With one child. aged two, in her
farms, and leading another, aged four.
Iby the arm, she ran toward the house.
Benton followed, shooting. This time
he succeeded in hitting her, the bullet
lodging in the muscles of the back
She continued to the house, and
slammed and bolted the door Rushing
ito the phone she told central to sum
mon help Meanwhile Benton had
broken in a window and began shoot
again. Mrs Wright struggled with
him, knocking the revolver up so that
the bullets went into the ceiling When
benton had emptied the gun, Mrs
Wright escaped through a window.
Central, warned by Mrs. Wright
,called H. F. Matthews, a neighbor OF
the Wrights. Looking out, seeing nc
fire and hearing the milking machine
running he believed everything al
right and told central. Central, how
lever, urged him to proceed to the
house, and, getting others, he went tc
the Wright barn.
Opening the barn door, they came
upon Benton on his knees, about tC
shoot himself. He warned them Il
keep away or he would turn the gun
on them One of Benton S shots went
through his ear, and the other, which
he intended to send through his heart
inflicted what was believed to be only
a flesh wound.

The report of the postofiice depart

will undoubtedly be used by Senator
Penrose as 4 strong argument for re-

the increase in the postal rates was I'M
justified, and that he would move to
have it amended in the coming session.
