Suits have been commenced by Thomas c. Du-

OF the Union Pacific Railroad Company, against
James Brooks and Cakes Ames to recover Credit
Mober shares alleged to have been fraudulently
obtained or unlawfully appropriated. Legal notice
was served upon Mr. Brooks at his residence In this
city on Saturday last.
The former suit is to be brought in the Supreme
Court OF the city and county OF New York, and, If
not compromised, will involve a thorough canvass

will be based upon the assertions of members OF
Congress and others, who assert that they never
received any shares The Directors declare that
Ames represen ted that he distributed the number
of shares given to him for that purpose but the re-
cent declarations OF Senator Wilson, Vice President
COlfax, Senator Allison, Speaker Blaine, Secretary
Boutwell, and others that they never received any
shares of Credit MObiler necesstate an inquiry
why the shares have not been returned to the
company by Mr.. Ames. Hence the proposed suit
has been or is about to be instituted.
This will open the whole question OF the Credit
Mobilier, Independent OF the examination now
pending before Congress. The legal phase, as IL
will be developed in the Court, will be the most
popular way Of deciding the whole question.

Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms lie Barnes, of the
United States House of Representatives, arrived In
tins city yesterday morning with subpGnas for
DIR. Thomas c. Durant, ex-Presdent OF the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, and Mr.. Crane, ex-Secre-

called at the Office of DR.. Durant, 20 Nassau street.
at noon yesterday and served papers, and DR.. Du-

Mr.. Crane Will accompany the Doctor. Probably no
man living knows the whole history OF the

OF the Credit MObllier corporation thereto more

perceive the promptness with which Mr.. Poland's
committee OF investigation have acted upon the

There's soft little hand with Just one or two

It is soft. it is warm. and its pressure is sweet,

meet,
And the lady who owns it is pretty and free
Except in the promise she's just made to me.
IT'S a hand to be fondled, and petted and kiss

'Tis a hand to be held, and be loved with the
When the gloves thrown aside and Somebody's

'Tis hand in adversely sorrow or care
When the brain burns with fever, or chils in

'Tis hand to smooth wrinkles and Danish the

When lights are burning low, and life's breath
on the wane.
'Tis a hand for the death-bed, to take the last
pledge,
When the grave yawns in waiting, with Death
at Its edge
With the future unknown, and the hungriest
Is waiting to hide all that's not gone to God.
'Tis a hand for bridal, to give all the trust

Full Feeding Profitable.

1t Is becoming Well-settled fact among
darymen, that it pays to feed cows with
all the food they can possibly consume
through the entire milking season To
fully meet this supply, grain must, for 3
! considerable part of the time, at least, form
part of this food. There are two short
seasons in the year when some extra feed
| is not needed in the diet of dairy cow
one is in the flush of feed in the summer
have never found it profitable to feed
grain to cows when there was an abundance
OF green pasture; to feed extra, then, is lit
tie else than substituting costly food for
cheaper one. More milk, it is true, can
be obtained by feeding ground grain, and
especially wheat bran, than by feeding
grass alone; but with me, the increase has
not paid the extra labor and cost. But
when grass begins to fail, it pays to make
up the deficiency with extra feed, 10 matter
at what time in the season the failure be-
gins, and to continue it to the end of the
milking season.
The other season when extra feed may
be omitted is while the cows are dried of
their milk. For a month or two in the Win
ter, in this latitude, good hay affords sutfi-
cient nourishment, unless the cows have
gone into winter quarters in low condition.
But this season should not extend to their
"comng in" Feeding should commence
beforehand, to give strength to endure the
exhaustion of approaching labQr IR3t h;ch .
faadino of tb,r not adVlSaDle, nor
sm0uid It commence till the calf is week
or ten days old. After that time, if she is
well, an increase of food becomes neces-
sary. In the season of active lactation,
which will then have commenced, a COW
cannot possibly eat enough of ordinary hay
to maintain her flesh and furnish the ma
terial for full flow of milk, II she is what
could be called fair mixer. She must at
such time be fed with some more cOncen-
trated food, or fail In her milk or flesh.
This fact seems not to be sufficiently ap-
preciated by many dairymen. The loss of
| flesh after cows come in, in the spring, is
quite common. 1t is so customary, that
many farmers look upon the projecting bones
as a matter of course. This is unfortunate !;
but this matter is receiving more attention
from dairymen than formerly. More care
is used to keep up the flesh of cows in the
spring, and also the flow of milk in the de-
cline OF pasturng and early winter it pays
we'll to do 1t. There must be wide dis
proportion between the price OF dairy pro
ducts and grain to make extra feeding at
such times Improbable. Live Stock Jour

Teething in Young Horses.

Al THIS season of the year, many Young
horses are weak and i'll -thrven from causes
connected with teething. The mouth is
sore and not, the gums are swollen and ten
der, the ridged palate becomes so much
congested and enlarged that it comes below
the level of the teeth, and is painfully
bruised when the animal attempts to chew
his ordinary hard food. From the difficulty
and pain attendant on feeding, the animal
does not take sufficient nutriment, and
strength and condition accordingly fail
This tnmid, tender state of the mouth is
technically known as lampas In older
books of farriery, it is described as an alb
normal growth; in popular estimation it is
still looked upon as disease in reality it
is nothing more than a natural condition of
the gums and adjacent parts common in
young teething animals of all sorts. The
developement and eruption of the teeth de-
mand large supply of blood and nervous
influence; as occurs in the growth and
rapid repair of other textures, adjacent
soft parts become turgid with blood.
These considerations will indicate the alb
surdty of the old-fashioned treatment of
lampas. The only rational treatment which
these cases of So-called lampas require
consists in the careful lancing or cutting
with a sharp knife, of the palate if it is so
much swollen as to interfere with mastlca-
tion. The cutting does not require to be
deep or repeated; the discharge of very
little blood, as in the lancng of chld's
hot, swollen gum, suffices to relieve the
congestion and tenderness of the colts
mouth. Any of the sucking teeth which
have got misplaced, and appear to prevent
the eruption of their permanent successors,
should be removed with the fingers or with
a pair of pliers. Whilst the gums are ten
der, and the teeth, both in front and behind
are irregular, it is very important that the
young horses should have their food sup
piled 10 them in a soft and easily masticat-
ed condition. 1t is desirable that the oats
or other grain be given hgused ); that the
bulk of the fodder be cut or softened by
soaking or sleeping, and that well-prepar-
ed mashes and cut roots be given more fre-
quently and freely than usual. Horse own
ers should notice from time to time the
state OF the mouth and teeth of their horses,
and by soft and digestible food, lighter la
Dor, and the lancing of the swollen gums,
where that is required, they greatly miti-
gate the pain and prevent the untoward
results of teething. American Stock Jonr-

WINTERING VEGETABLES 1t is one thing
to raise d good crop of vegetables, and quite
another to keep them safely thro rough winter.
1t is doubtless the fact that more vegetables
are injured by heat in winter than by cold,
because most persons crowd such things
together in large quantities, and then cover
over deeply to keep out the frost When
placed in cellars, the windows are closed
and in the more Northern States. banked
up with perhaps fresh horse manure from
the stable. OF course it is necessary to
keep potatoes, turnps, beets, and similar
roots from freezing; still they wou Id be OF
far better quality if kept as cold as possible,
and not actually frozen. Turnips and beets,
in particular, are very liable to heat, and be-
come spoiled if large quantity is placed
together; and potatoes are often injured by
being stored in large bins, instead of being
put in barrels or spread thinly upon shelves
in a dark cellar. When buried in the
ground small heaps, say twenty to thirty
bushels in each, is best. Rural New

Care of Horses.

one Of our correspondents last spring
gave u some novel hints about the care Of
horses One, that we should be as careful
fo cover lhe breast &c., as his back. DO
people generally know why the horse has
his neck covered with thick name? and
why it will hang on one side: One fact
may help to explain this. Some think it is
only ornamental. The fact we allude to is 1:
Colds enter the human system through the
back Of the neck and the upper part of the
spine. We always feel chills first creeping
up the back along the spine. The front of
the neck is provided with large blood YES
sels hence, this part is capable of resisting
greater cold than the back. The under side
0f the horses neck and his breast contain
-arge blood vessels, while the upper side
has but small veins, hence, 1t can resist but
-iiiie cold or wet. The name hangs on one
side, hence water falls off readily. You
VIII seldom hnd any wet on the skin of the
upper side Of the neck or in the name.
Let all who would protect their horses
rom liability to cold, cover the upper mart
and sides of the neck as well as the hack
when covering is needful. Let the neck he
covered to the top Of the head. The top of
The head is most liable to let in cold, or a,
the point where head and neck meet. Dom
