Interested Judges.

IN n republic, nothing can DO
moro essential 10 tho freedom and
happiness Of iis people than u pure
and disintorcstcd judiciary. Since
tho porversion Of our government,
which was suporinduccd by tho re-
construction laws of Congress, IL
has not unfrcquently happened in
the States Of the South, where car.
pet-bapgers have been turned loose
TO Craze on official pastures, that
the judicial departments of our
State governments have been made
the source of rich profits TO those
upon whose shoulders tho erminc
has been laid. The tolerance of tho
people towards innovations Of tn is
sort, has been remarkable indeed.
Wise men and true patriots have
stood by in mute silence and utter
amazement, and witnessed the dis
pensation of justice by the interlo-
pors who have flockod to tho "green
fields of this fair land" without
putting forth single effort to save
their dearest right, until the prac'
tice of furnishing criminals has
become a source of revenue to those
who are entrusted with the enforce.
mcnt of tho law. By wonderful
construction of constitutional law,
it not unfreqently happens that
mayors and justices of the peace
arc directly interested in the con.
viction of every man who may be
arraigned before them. The cost
fees in nearly every case which is
tried by the inferior courts in the
Southern States exceed by seven or
eight hundred per cent the amount
of the fines assessed against con-
victcd persons. Nor is this all, for
in every instance the justice or
mayor is an interested party in the
issue in tho same proportions. Ev.
cry man who is tried and not con-
victed is the occasion of a peculiarly
sacrifice, which the judicial officer
is bound to make when once his
greedy hands are placed about his
personal freedom. This mal-prac
tice, we are glad to say, has been
discovered by our law-making pow
ere, and ere long we expect to sec
men who are accused of violating
the law, tried by courts which are
not pecuniarily interested in theil
conviction: ..

FARM AND HOME.
Horse Stables,

II is a fault with most stables, says the
Maine Farmer, that they are built for men
rather than for horses. We wish to point
out two common errors into which not a
few builders are liable to fall in construct
ing stables, especially those upon farms.
The first is in having the doors and upper
floor so low as they generally are. On
account of these low doors horses instinc-
lively learn to fear them, and they shy,
rear OF prance whenever led toward them.
They are also, among the most frequent
causes of pOll-eyil. The horse, when pass
ing through them, is either surprised by
something il beholds outside the building,
or checked by the voice of gesture of the
person leading him, when up goes the
head and crash comes the poll against the
beam of the doorway. a violent bruise
often results therefrom, and deep-seated
abscess follows. Low hay-tloors also pro-
duce the same trouble. The sudden eleva-
ton of the head is, in the horse, expressive
of very unexpected emotion. This effect
is always noticed whenever you enter the
stable rapidly or at an unusual hour. a
sudden noise will also cause the same up
ward motion of the head. With low sta
bles an injury to the horse is almost invari-
ably sure to follow.
Again, the easiest position in which a
horse can stand, is when the hind feet are
the highest portion of the body, or when
the opposite direction from what it does
in most stables This the other error in
constructing stables to which we alluded
Horses at liberty in a pasture invariably
stand, when at ease, with their hind feet
elevated somewhat, and it is almost WON
der that builders of stables have not inn
proved upon this fact before, and adapted
floors to the wants of the horse. The mois-
ture from the horse, if the floor slanted to-
ward the forward fee, would help to keep
the forward feet moist, cool and healthy,
whereas they are now generally hot, full
of fever, and require washing with cool
soap suds at Leaf once day, in order to be
kept in a healthy condition. This is not
all. Where the floor slants back, the horse
not unfrequently attempts to ease the
heavy strain upon the tlexor tendons of
the hind legs by hanging back upon the
halter. The pressure upon the seat of the
poll stops naturaKeirculation, and in time
it develops itself into deep-seated abscess.
We would like to see stable in which the
TWO errors in building we have pointed out
did not occur. Ii the builder was not salts
lied with it, we are sure the occupant would
be, and would repay him by long years of
good service with unstrained limbs and a
healthy system.

Cold Water Bad for Cows.

During the past summer, in the hot days
Of July and August the animals resorted
to the lake, to drink, and, after shaking
their thirst, they would wade into the
water and remain sometimes IN hour or
two with the legs half immersed. This
habit il was found invariably diminished
the flow of milk at night. and. in order to
learn the extent of the diminution, care
full observations were made. 1t was ascer-
tanned that standing in the water an hour
diminished the flow to the amount of
eight or ten quarts in n herd of thirteen
cows. The loss was so great that when
ever they resorted to the water they were
driven way to the pasture again at once.
We have learned that from simply turning
the herd into yard upon a cold day in
winter and allowing them to remain tif-
teen minutes, the flow of milk was dimin-
ished 10 g serious extent, and consequently
the animals are not allowed to leave the
warm stable during the entire winter,
except for a brief period upon warm,
sunshiny days. Water is brought directly
from a well into the barn, and the drink
ing vessels are arranged so that the ami
mails have to move but step or two to
supply their wants. The nature of the
water supply and convenience of access
are most important points in the manage
ment of milk cows. \ draught of ice
cold water taken by COW in winter cuts
short the milk yield for the day from one
10 two pints.-JouTndL OF Chemistry.

Something About GOOD Butter.

1t would open the eyes ofcareless butter
makers to step into Chicago commission
store and see how much more the best
qualities of butter bring than the streaky,
salvy, milky hodge-podge that comes out of
the tub of the country merchant, to whom
all butter is alike, and has the same price.
The pots of choice, sweet clean butter, free
from every trace of milk, and redolent of
country richness, will at any time of the
year bring from fifteen to twenty-five per
cent. more than any other, and the market
is never glutted with it. 10 make such
butter the COW must have good feed, the
daily vessels (of TIM must be washed with
boiling water and thoroughly dried before
receiving the milk, Clearly care must be
used in milking, the dairy must have fresh,
pure air, and the butter must have pure,
clean SALT fashions is the best and
thorough working. It's The cid story Of q

have personally proved to be efficient in
restoring healthy growth of hair on the
tails and name: Corrosive sublimate
(hyd. bicloride) oxymuriate of mercury,

with linen cloth, and Immediately after
rub in some of the above liniment. If the

and wash out in the morning with warm
water and soap; repeat three or four times.

How to Use a GrlndstOnP.

First-Don't waste the stone by running
it in water; but, if you do, don't allow it
to stand in water when not in use, as this
will cause a soft place.
Second-Wet the stone by dropping wa
ter on it from spot suspended above the
stone, and stop off the water when not in
use.
Third-Don't allow the stone to get out
of order, but keep it perfectly round 10y the
use of a gas pipe or hacker.
Fourth-Clean off all greasy tools before
sharpening, as grease or oil destroys the
grit.
Fifth-Observe When you get stone
that suits your purpose, send sample OF
the grit to the dealer to select by; half
ounce sample is enough, and can be sent
in letter by mail.

Pig-Pen Papers.

correspondent of the Michigan Farmer
writes: Feed my breeding sows most of
the time on turnips-the Sweet Russia, or
Jenny Linds, as they are called here. This
was their food during the latter part of the
winter and until grass grew, when they
entered into the clover. They eat them
readily and thrive on them. 1 consider
corn very injurious to breeding sows, es-
pecially to the finer breeds. Potatoes and
slops from the house are also good. L con-
slider sugar beets very valuable for feeding
breeding sows and store hogs and / shall

J Horses I'm Battle.

~ -
y Army horses, generally speaking, were
perverse and vicious, and in the general
conduct were specimens of animated ugli-
nesson four legs. The boys hadya theory
that all the Kick ing, biting and balky
horses were sent to the army. But the
majority of these soon yielded to discipline,
and the trooper and his horse soon froze to
each other. The horse followed his mas
ter, came at his call, obeyed signs as well
as words, and at times warned his master
of danger. Horses learned the bugle call
readily, as we'll as their places, and to start
the horses it was only necessary to sound
feed or water call. In action, many horses
would about face, turn right or left, halt,
move forward, etc., etc., at the bugle call
without word or sign from the riders.
Coming off Charlottesville battlefield,
the Captain of battery dismounted to
look at disabled gun, the remainder Of the
battery passing on. His horse broke loose,
Joined the column took his place at the head
and would allow no one to approach him
until two or three miles had been travelled.
The conclusions or artillery discharges af-
fected the hearing of horses as it did that
of men. Often the ears would lop down
instead of standing erect, making so much
change in the appearance ola horse that
his rider would hardly recognize him.
Tired men moved much better under the
influence of music, and the horses worked
better underline bugle. On one occasion,
the guns of Capt. Paddy H's. battery were
stuck in the mud of the bad roads. Every
thing had been done to make the horses
pull through, but they could not do it. ut
last Capt. Paddy turned in desperation and
shouted, Sergeant, Sergeant, have the
bugle sounded the toragard call. That'll
fetch enn then. And SO they did.
