suit of great Importance TO builders has
been decided in the New York Court of Com
mon Pleas. brick mason agreed to build
hsnse and charge sig dollars q thousand for
laying the brick. When he came to measure
the brick he measured all the openiugs-wiu-
dows, doors, etc-as solid brick, making the
bill $500 larger than it would have been had
he only measured the solid wall The man for
whom the work was done refused to pay this
$780, and the mason brought sun to foree tho
payment, pleading the custom Of brick masons
in his favor. The court decided tn at the charge
was illegal, aud that he had NO legal right to
charge for laying brick that were never laid.
This decision is impOrtsnt to builders and CON-
tractors, as other State Courts will be likely
to follow the decision and precedent set by tho
New York court.

PRESBYTERIAN FESTIVAL.

The strawberry festival on Wednes.
day was a perfect success. The hal
was very tastefully decorated. In the
center vas the flower stand, which
was presided over by two unmarried
ladies. They looked..so sweet that in
their presence the bouquets lost their
beauty. We We're gracefully present
ed with a choice bunch of flowers,
which we placed in our juvenile
bosom, and kept it there all night.
Over the table on which the bouquets
were arranged was a globe containing
gold and silver fish. and over that a
chandelier, which caused h whole
arrangement to appear perfectly daZ
zlinr. On the right side of the hail
was the nut and candy stand, presided
over by Mrs. Alfred Helm. In the
corner was the fish pond, from which
many valuable fish were drawn by
the juveniles. AT the head of the
hall was a stand. at which Miss Swift
and Miss Ferris presided, aud dis
peBsed lemonade Ia the thirsty souls.
In the other corner ice cream was sold
by Mrs. Winnie and another lady, and
seemed to be well patronized. On
the lett hand side of the hall stood the
straw berry and cream table, which
was presided Owe by several young
ladies as sweet looking a. The luscious
fruit they dispensed. Much business
was done at this stand. At the end of
the hall, near the door, was set a u
pc table, at which the matrons pre-
sided. We like matron> and felt our
sell instinctively drawn to that end Of
the hall. At about $50. messengers
were semi around to procure a man
of great power of lungs, aud Billy Pat
terson was selected to that
supper was ready. This the Judge
performed to the entire satisfaction of
his fair employers. There was oyster
Soup, chicken salad, sandwiches, pies
and cakes, and the best coffee that ever
was brewed. The chicken salad and
coffee was manufactured by Mrs. h.
f. Forster, and certainly was the best
we bave tasted for Years. Chicken
salad is our weakness, and we men
tally promised thai lady, in case any
thing happened to Mr.. Foster, etc.
There was as mice a collection of ladies
present as can he found in the land.
and every one seemed to enjoy the
party. Owing to Inadvertency i'll not
advertising the festival before, there
was not so large an attendance of the
sterner sex as VAS expected, never
theless sufficient WAS realized to pay
ex penses and leave a respectable bal
ance. The lady managers did all in
their power to make everyone feel
perfectly at home, and certainly sue
ceeded admirably.

Watering and Feeding Horses.

From long experience in the care and manage
ment of horses l must say cannot agree with
the short article OH page 695 November 2, in re-
gard to watering horses, That writer thinks hor-
watered too much. and says, among other
things that they are thus caused to perspire more
freely, as well as to become very uncomfortable
and lethargic. He says they should not be water
eel oftener than three times day. Now, find
that horse does not perspire in proportion to the
amount of water drank, but that the water, kind,
quality of feed may make good deal of difference.
II san admitted fact that horses fed mainly corn
and straw will perspire more freely than when
they are fed ON oats and hay, other things being
the same. At the same time they drink little
over half the water when fed on corn and straw
that they do when fed on oats and hay-hence
am convinced that the horse needs and should
have water, in small quantities, as often as he is
inclined to drink. Then water will not injure
him under any circumstances.
The horse should never be fed to the full eX-
tent all he will eat; by giving little less We Sc
cure and keep mp good appetite. If the stomach
is never overloaded the appetite and digestion
will be good and the horse will do well. Give q
fair quantity of feed and water at regular times
and digestion will be good, the system will get
all the benefit of the feed, and the animal machine
will not he crowded, but do its proper work
readily. Then the horse has more animation, his
system is not clogged loaded down, but per-
forms all its natural functions, and the animal is
ready and willing to do his appointed task to the
best, advantage. Then he will do more work, do
it better and more willingly, and more to the
profit and satisfaction of his Owner.-J Henderson,
Orleans County, Ne,r York.

Care md Feeding Of C.,,Ic.

1t is no fancy of sentimental philanthropists,
but well attested fact that stabilized cattle will
keep in good condition on one third less of food
than is required by cattle that are unhoused in
cold weather. Sheep properly protected from the
cold and storms produce better and finer fieeces;
cows yield more milk, and all kinds of animals re-
tain and take on flesh more readily and rapidly,
on much less food than when exposed to the eX-
tremcs of the temperature TO which this country
is subject.
There are certain conditions, says the Stock
journal, always required in growing, feeding or
using stock for labor or pleasure, and unless you
can make up your mind to comply with these
conditions, you had better not engage in the
business.
1t must have enough TO eat of the right kind
of food, Just enough and none to waste; must
have this at regular intervals, not less than three
times day; must have water as often; must be
kept clean; must be kept comfortable, mot too
much exposetltO heat in summer, nor cold and
storms in winter: mnst have access to salt, or be
sailed not less than week; must not he
driven about by other more powerful or illnatured
animals; and must he looked after every day to
see that il is in good health.

An OhiOaII having written to the Farmers Club, of
New York City, that all corn on the ear should be
planted or the crop will run ont, Washington Hitch
cock, New Lebanon, N. Y, calls this an "old fogy
notion which ought to be placed on the same
footing with the notion that Friday is I'M
lucky day" and adds: snow, gentlemen, in the
spring of 1878 came to this place to live. The
man that lived with planted what called a
twelye-ruwesi wedge corn. He made a practice of
Smelling of the butts and tips. Istill plant the same
kind of corn, and have always sheled off the tips,

handsOmer bin of corn than this. f" Col. Curtis
added: Every careful farmer rejects the tips
and butts of ears, and plants nothing but the
plump and perfect kernels, upon the principle
that they will produce strong and vigorous plants.
Furtbmore, am of the opinion that the crooked
and twisted kernels are apt to produce knotted
and imperfect ears. have n string of seed corn,
now hanging in my corn-crib. of superior quality
WHICH is the same kind of corn raised by neigh
Dor as long as l can remember. Now, SIR be-
ieve there lis no use of changing seed corn if the
best ears are carefully selected every year. If
plant food is supplied sufficiently, there will be
no deterioration, but rather an improvement;
hence to send away to remote places for seed
which is not natural to the climate and soil is
generally loss. and the idea is absured that by a
change of seed good crop will be produced.
This itching uneasness may crafty curiosity,
but it will not of itself insure a crop. Soil and
cultivation are the essential requisites and the
farmer should build his hopes on these more than

TEA LEAVES FOR BURNS AND SCALDs.-Dr
Searls, of Warsaw, Wis, says in the Chicago Ned
zeal Examiner: "SOme few years ago acciden-
tally found that poultice of tea leaves, applied
to small burns and scalds, afforded immediate re-
lief, and determined to give it a more extensive
trial when opportunity should present, and which
soon occurred. 1t was in a of child fourteen
months old. Upon examination found the inte-
riOr portion of the body, arms and legs blistered
and deeply burned from kettle of hot water
which the child had upset upon itself. The case
to say the least, was unfavOrable for the success
of any remedy. Iprepared large poultice, soft
ening the leaves with hot water, and, while yet
quite warm, applied it upon cotton wool, over the
entire burned surface. Almost like magic the
suffering abated, and without the useof any other
anodyne the child soon fell iutO quiet sleep. In
few hours removed the application, and reap
piled where it was necessary. l found the parts
discOlOred and apparently tanned. The acute SEN
sibility and tenderness had nearly disappeared,
and the little patient passed through the second
and third stages under far more favorable circum-
stances (symtoms) than was at first anticipated
making a recovery in about two weeks. Since
then, on several occasions, have had reason to
commend tea leaves, till now / have become to
prefer it above all other remedies in the first stage
of burns and scalds. think it must recommend
itself to the profession, not only account of its
intrinsic worth, but also by its great convenience
being readily obtained. / am not aware that
any mention has been made thus far of this article
in this connection, and hope that others will find
it as useful in their practice as the writer has"

HAMS AND SPARE RIBs.-A correspondent of
the Maine Farmer writes: What do yOu do with
yOur hams, shoulder pieces and spare ribs when
you cut up your hogsi Four spare ribs make
four as good dinners as a man wants to eat Cut
them ont, rub little fine salt over them, and
hang them in the chamber where they will freeze
and beep until wanted. Now for the hams and
shoulders. Make pickle or mixture as follows;
fine salt four quarts; saltpeter powdered one half
pound; brown sugar, one half pound, molasses,
one quart. Mix, rub the meat thoroughly with
it, and pack down in a barrel Turn over occa-
