A resolution offered by Sheriff P. H. Clarke at the convention of the State Sheriff's Association of Mis eouri, 4% the court house, that the Legislature be requested to pass a law requiring executions to take place at Jefferson City, was adopted unanimously. The resolution is as follows: " “Be it resolved by this association, That the execution in the respective counties of thie State of thoee con- victed of criminal offenses subserves no possible good, but, on the con- trary, on account of the publicity that is usually given of the same through the press and otherwise, it only tends, in our opinion, to de- moralize @ portion of our commu- nity, on which account and for which reason we recommend that the Leg- islature of this State, at its next ses- sion, amend the criminal statutes in such & manner as that they will pro- vide that the execution of all those convicted of eapital offences be re- quired by law to take place in the Penitentiary at Jefferson City.” It was also resolved that the Sherifie use their endeavors in favor of the proposed amendment to the State Constitution making the term of office of Sheriff four years, The term now {fs two years. The amend- ment will be voted upon next Novem- ber. C. B, Bacon, sheriff of Saline coun- ty, was elected president and Thos. B. Kilcullin, execution deputy under Sheriff P. H. Clarke, secretary.

During these early winter months wiil be dropped the major part of tte calves in the best managed dairy snd general farm herds of Misouri. ‘|The best and chasjest manner of raising these “youngster” to the age of “discretion” is the aim of this space taking. When the calf is dropped allow her to suck once, rarely twice, then put ber into « clean warm box stall or pen. There is little use in trying to teach her to drink until she is decid edly hungry. At the end of twenty four hours she will be awful glad of a good chanceto learn.

To allow a cali all the milk she will drink because ebe wants {t, on the supposition that nature is the best judge as to quan- tity, is false philosophy.
