Of the trial VIM. c. Mulkey, Esq, pros

defended the case. Our readers are familiar

new testimony elected was the confession
Of the defendant that he had COM
mitted the oifense whereof he had been
accused. This places his final conviction
beyond a reasonable doubt. Mr. Mulkey
declined to make an argument, but Justice
Cunningham thought he ought to lift his
voice for his unfortunate and innocent
client, where reputation and liberty were
imperiled through the Vaccinations of
eyil-minded persons. He had proven that
Smith has good character for honesty up

YopNG STooK.-To keep young stock grow
ing through the winter, will hasten their ma
turity by half the time. A good thrifty two
year old that has had no setback, will be
equal in weight to afcur year old that has moi
grown during the winters. The cost of two
years feed is saved by the expenditure of the
little extra feed and care for two winters.
This principle applies to all live stock.
Our Feeding is waste of food, and causes
loss of flesh. Indigestion from repletion,
stops growth, and gives trouble to restore
health and thrift. The art of feeding is an
important part of a farmers knowledge, and
should be studied with care, and practiced
with patience and close observation. The use
of weights and measures is not q waste OF
time and labor. There is much to be learned
Eand saved by them. Every feed box should
have one'quart and a twe'quart SCOOP, and
feed measure holding known quantity. A
halfpeck measure (our quarts is handy
size to have.
Feed Troughs and Racks should be pro-
vided for yard feeding, both for grain and
fodder, so THAT nothing may be trampled un-
der foot, and wasted, and strong animals may
not drive of or annoy the weaker ones. We
can easily contrive SO that the animals of all
kinds must do precisely as we wish.
Cows.-Preserve strict cleanliness in the
cows stables. Dry COWS may be fed moder-
ately to keep them in fair condition only.
Heavy mixers, when near the time of coming
in, need judicious treatment, so as not to un-
duly stimulate the secretion Of milk Milking
COWS should be kept warm. If the udders. or
teats, become foul, they should be washed
with warw-but not hot-water, and wiped
perfectly dry at once. To was the teats, and
leave them to dry, will cause cracks; the same
effect will occur if the teats are wetted with
milk and left to dry. The teats should be
kept dry while milking, if one would avoid
cracks and sores.
EWES AND LAMBs.-Light feeding of grain
is preferable for ewes at this season. Too
much corn meal will be positively injurious.
Half pint Of corn day will be sufficient.
alternated with a pint of wheat, bran, or
whole rye. mixture Of one quart OF salt,
and one ounce Of sulphur, placed in a box
where the sheep can always reach it, will be
beneficial. Early lambs with their dams

the stables during the ooldest weather. Such
pens are very useful for ewes that reject their
lambs, " lsss
