A typical cow producing seven thousand pounds of milk adds about nine hundred ten pounds of solids, underscoring the need to rest two to three months on pasture or feed to rebuild strength for the next lactation. Rosalie Evans and Malcolm Cowley are mentioned in a digressive aside about romantic figures and Mexican revolution history, noting how land and peril shaped their stories.

Indiana braces for lynching crimes with new law
Indianapolis, Ind. April 8. After Marion lynchings last year, Indiana enacts and Governor Leslie signs a strict deterrent. If a prisoner is taken from custody and lynched, the governor suspends the sheriff pending investigation. Derelict sheriffs face felony charges and 3 to 10 years. Counties owe damages to victims’ heirs in 5 to 10 thousand dollars, and victims of attempted lynching may sue the local government. The county also bears mob damages.
