How to Make Cows Give Milk

4 writer in the Southern Fag8aer
says his COW gives all the milk that
is wanted in a family of eight, and
that from ii, after taking all that Is
required for other purposes, 26O
pounds Of butter were made this
year. This is in part his treatment
of the COW:
IF you desire to ge. a large yield
of rich milk, give your cows every
day water slightly warmed and
slightly salted. in which bran has
been stirred at the rate OF one quart
to two gallons of water. You will
find, if you have not tried this daily
practice, that your cow will give
twenty-five per cent more milk i'm
mediately under the effects of II,
and she will become so attached to
the diet as 10 refuse to drink clear
water unless very thirsty. But this
mess she will drink almost any time,
and ask for more. The amount Of
this drink necessary is an ordinary
pail full at a time, morning noon and
night.

To Editor Taoona Ledger, Nec Ia onsa
-DxAB SIs: In your issue OF July 18th,
Of this year, you. at length. charged me
with having been guilty Of plagiarism
in my Fourth Of July Grafton at Seattle.
You have since repeatedly rung the
changes on the original charge, that said
Grafton of mine was plagiarized from
Robert G. mgersOlfs Decoration Day
address in New York City. The spirit
of the article was such that denial
from me would not have awaited In the
slightest TO have set myself right with
you, and only wonld have exposed me
to further attack. Unfortunately for
you, you charged me with plagiariZing
the ideas OF one who was yet alive, and
whose judgment could be appealed to in
the matter to establish the truth or fal-
sity of the crime charged. You should
have selected some one who could not
possibly have borne testimony in the
matter, and you would have done your
conscience no more injury aud been
safer in the position you assumed. I'M
mediately ON reading the charge you
made against me, sent it and Il copy
Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CONTAINING
my Grafton to Mr.. lngersoll, and asked
him in justice TO me to read it at his
earliest convenience, and let me know
whether had done any injustice to him.
His reply, just received. is as follows:

In patient silence 1 have waited until
now for the foregoing refutation, and,

that my Grafton seemed to be product

l respectfully beg that yOu not only give
place in your columns to the foregoing
viudication of him aud me, but send a
copy thereof to the Olympia Standard.
the Vancouver INDEPENDENT, the Sprague
Herald and any other papers which have
re echoed this charge, which, think,
you must now admit was, to say the
least, absolutely untrue. The press of
the Territory generally, and the public,
am glad to say, regarded the matter
in true light.
Cherishing no malice, l hope you will
remember in the future that there are
crimes worse than plagiarism, which
even the heat of political strife cannot
Justify. Very respectfully.
THOMAS L. MINOR.
P.S. send You the original letter of
MIR. lngersoll, which please return.
