How Squire b got his Verdict.

J. NJ. D-g-s the able and efficient
president of one of our most important
railroads, in early life hung ont his shingle
in Galena, place which has since proved
so prolific in public men. Among his first
clients was a well-to.dO-taTmer, whose land
contained valuable dead OF mineral, on
which a miner had 'squatted. While
the rights of the proprietor were clear and
unquestionable, the sentiments Of the
miners in those "diggings" were with
the trespasser, and the farmer found il
necessary to resort to the law TO reinstate
him in his property. Suit was in
stituted, and the trial cameofl. The court
house was filed by an audience OF miners,
whose sympathies for the defendant were
so emphatically expressed that the jury
were overawed, and brought in n verdict
in accordance with the popular sentiment.
But the court, on application, regarded the
verdict as so contrary to law and equity,
that il at once granted new trial After
these proceedings were had, Squire B-k-
Sc, who still lives in the neighborhood in
the enjoyment of green old age-and
"long may he wave ~ stepped up TO
D-g-s and remarked
Young man, have fcllow-leeling for
you In this trial you haven't had fair
shake. When It comes of again, will sec
that you are righted.'
At the next term the court house was fill
ed with spectators as usual; but, just be.
fore this case was called, they were observ-
ed to issue in a steady stream out Of doors,
until no che but the officers OF court, the
jury, lawyers, clients and witnesses were
left. The case was tried, and the jury
brought in n verdict for the plaintiff D.
g-s was at q loss to account Tor this sud-
den exodus; but when he came to 20 out,
he found that Squirrel ks -- O had opened
q faro bank near the courthouse steps!
This attraction was too powerful to be re-
sisted. - Western Monthly for September.

Jim Wicker was o comical-looking fell

of having no hair, he looked very old
from his eyebrows all the way round to the

about the defect, and was somewhat cele-
brated, from a tight he had had withatTav-
cling agriculturist, who, upon 'being asked
by Jim, "What would cause the hair to
grow upon his shining poll, was advised
to ''cover the top of his head with guano,
and plant it down in crab grass" But jim

gentleman was not only the host of the

Corn FODDER. The falling off in milk,
and the neglect TO provide food for soiling,
induces many to turn stock into the mead
ows carly, and before they have become
thickly coated with aftermath. 1t is very
bad economy, very injurious to meadows,
while the seemingly fair feed is swept
away in few days, and scNnty yield Of
milk is the result for the balance of the
season. There is no CROP therefore that
pays the dairymNn better one year with
another, than the few acres devoted to
corn fodder. Corn fodder should be fed in
the STALLS MS there is no waste, besides the
stock thus fed are more quiet and less dis
posed to hang about, waiting for their feed,
as they do when the fodder is given them in
the open field. Each COW in the stall gets
its proper share of food, and there is no
hooking or soiling OF the fodder by master
COWS. The herd should be fed regularly at
stated hours, and they soon become accus-
toned to the time, coming Of their own ac-
cord to the stables, and during other por-
tons of the day they will feed more in the
pastures
Corn fodder for soiling should be wilted
before feeding, II is good plan to cut in
the morning and let it lay in the sun till
afternoon, and then feed. In this way some
of the external moisture will be got nd of,
and the food will be preferred by animals
and produce better results. Corn fodder is
very succulent, and does not need to be
further diluted by feeding when the dew or
water is adhering to it, Better reduce the
water in it by wetting and partially drying.
