On Soiling Stock.

At recent gathering, where nearly all
the speakers We're practical farmers. and
most OF them engaged in making milk, one
OF them spoke earnestly and decidedly in
favor OF soiling the stock. His opinion
was formed after grazing his cows for some
years upon natural pastures. upon pastures
formed by poughng moving lands and
then re-seeding. and then bv cuttinr the
forage and feeding it out in the barn He
had no doubt but the latter course would he
generally cheaper, and in the long run,
easier and that it wd4d produce more milk
than either of the two former modes.
BY proper care in feeding and giving the
stock opportunity for exercise at suitable
times, the health of the stock could he pre-
served lust as perfectly as it is when they
run in pastures. Fed and tended in the
barn, they will get clean water regularly
and ahundantly, and their meals at regular
intervals. That will be 4 great gain over
many pastures, where water is taken from
stagnant poolS-sometime in an offensive
condition-and in other eases. where they
can get no water good or bad.
AT the gathering of the farmers at Lowell,
last September, Mr.. H. Sedgwick, of Corn
wall. Ct, referring to the short feed of the
fall of 1871. said =
"Our farmers all declare they will not 90
back to the old way of feeding stock. We
cut up our straw and everything available.
Many of US have adopted the plan of steam
INC the food for our cattle. and we are sat
lstied from the experiments we have made
that we save a third Of our provenler by
steaming il. As a sample of what this
manner of feeding stock VIII do, will re-
late an instance of young man, who. a
year ago this last spring, bought a farm of
eighty acres of land for Sll 600 The
farm then kept eleven cows, four or five
Yearlings and a horse or two. The voung
man took hold Of that farm and Immediately
put in fourteen acres of Sowed corn. He
increased the stock to twenty-five COWS.
and kept them on twelve acres, feeding
them the sowed corn, and also cutting his
oats green for food. His receipts the first
year were over $4,000. This year he has
Snmmfrcd on the same farm twentv-seven
cows, and he told me the other day that his
tWentv-seven cows would averae him s 100
each from the profit on milk"

REMARKABLE CASE. On Friday last
Dr. Small was called to attend Young
man named Clarence Abbott, who was i'll
at his residence. DR.. Small discovered
unmistakable symptoms of lead poison
ing. 1t appears that Abbott was wounded
in the thigh by a minnie bullet at the bat
tie OF the Wilderness in 1864, and that the
bullet could not be found at the time. He
has suffered somewhat ever since. Drs.
Small and Gordon on Saturday morning
etherized the patient, and proceeded to
make u surgical examination, which re-
suited in the discovery of the ball in the
thigh. The bullet was cncased in bony
substance of about the size of goose's
egg, the shell of which was one fourth of
an inch thick. The bullet had been tumb-
ling about in this cavity for eight years,
and become worn and polished as smooth
ly as though it had been done on an emery
wheel. Sufficient amount of the lead
however, had permeated the encasing and
entered the system to produce lead posion-
ing which would have proved fatal in a
short time but for timely relief afforded

case was recently considered by the
United States Supreme Court which is
perhaps the most extraordinary instance
of the laws delay that ever occurred.
The case was one involving the owner
ship OF immense landed estates in Prince
Georges county, Maryland Not only
the parties who originally brought the
suit are all dead, but also the defendants,
the counsel on both sides and nearly all
the witnesses. The property was ad-
mltted to have been once owned bv two
brothers named Crawford one Of whom
was alleged to have been secretly married
to Betsey Taylor. Both brothers died
after a time, and Betsey claimed the
property, The claim was disputed by
the only relatives of the deceased broth
ers family by the name of Black
burn. Before the case came to be decided,
however, Betsey died, and her children
brought the suit. The Blackburns claim
cd that Betsey WAS not the lawful wife of
Thomas Crawford, that therefore the
children were illegitlmate and not entitled
to a share of the property The records,
testimony and rulings fill several volumes.
The case was before several courts and
the Judges We're always divided. AT
last it reached the Supreme Court, and
the lower Court having decided that there
was a marriage. the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision about month ago,
and the Blackb were defeated Since
the case was first opened, Betsey and hel
four children have died, also the priest
who married her to Crawford, her sister
mother and brother and all the original
attOrneVS The last contestants for the
property were Betsey's grandchildren

There is an end to kisses and to sighs,
There is an end to laughter and to tears;
An end to fair things that delight our eyes.
An end to pleasant sounds that charm our ears
An end to enmity's foul libe!ling,
And to the gracious praise of tender friend;
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
That warrior carved an empire with his sword,
The empire now is but like him-a name;
That statesman spoke and by burning word
kindled nations heart into flame;
Now nought is left but ashes and we bring
Our homage 10 new men. to them we bend;
There is AN end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alas!
Mems ewes grow dim, and they no beauty see
The glorious shows of nature pass and pass,
Quickly they come. as quickly do they flee;
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hear eNt the slow, sad farewell of his friend
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.

CarefuIness in Old Aqe.

An old man is like an old wagon; with

strain will break it, and ruin it forever.
So many people reach the age of fifty, or
sixty, or even seventy, measurably free
from most of the pains and infirmities of
old age, CHEEKY in heart and sound in
health, ripe in wisdom and experience,
with sympathies mellowed by age, and
with reasonable prospects and opportuni-
ties for continued usefulness in the world
for considerable time. Let such persons
be thankful, but let them also be careful

Guilty. A young tree bends to the gale-an

A single hard lift, an hour of heating
work, an evening exposure to rain or
damp, severe chill, an excess of food,
the unusual indulgence of an appetite, a
sudden fit of anger, an improper dose of

may cut off valuable life in an hour,

enjoyment but a shapeless wreck.

CHAPPED HANDS. In healthy condition
the skin is kept supple by an oily secretion,
which answers the same purpose az oiing
leather. During warm weather this secre-
ton, in common with all other secretions
OF the skin, is more abundant than in cold
When it is insufficient the skin becomes
dry and harsh and on those parts of the
body where the skin is thick and subject to
much motion rs on the hands, it readily

cretion is so much reduced in cold weather
that the frequent washing of the hands
with soap causes them to chap readily. and
this the more certainly if the soap is not
thoroughly washsd off. The allali in soap
Is usually in excess, and this combines
with the oily secretion, and so deprives the
skin OF It's natural lubricator. TO prevent
the hands from chappin@, then, be careful
to wash all soap from them thoroughly in

Careless Shooting

During all this season there has been
so much careless use Of fowling pieces
and rifles as to attract attention aud
create comment. One OF these exhibi-
tions Of almost, criminal carelessness
occurred on Sunday morning last that
calls for comment a man WAS crnis-
ing around shooting at birds taking no
care as to what direction his gun was
pointed, and made discharge which
carried the ball from his gun into q
tent in which a person was setting, aud
which passed through near his head.
The occupant of the tent was much
exercised. and but for the begging off
of the shooter he would have received
summary and deserved personal chas-
tisement then and there. There has
come to our hearing several similar
complaints, and it behooves all persons
using fire arms to use more caution and
care, else some tragedy will occur shat
| will be lamentable.

will be seen that the Commissioners of
Burleigh county have entered into an
agreement with Messrs. Brownson and
singiser for a steam ferry between this
citv and Fort Lincoln. In this matter
the Commissioners have shown wisdom.
They have not only secured to our citi-
zens a first-class means OF transit, but
have also assured to the county q
continual revenue OF an amount
worty of consideration. The gentle
men into whose hands the lease has been
placed are too we'll known in the com.
munity to need any assurances from the

part will be carried out to The latter.
The ferry will be put in operation just
