To Cure Foot Rot in Sheep.

The preparation of the foot is just as
essential as the remedy, for if every
part of the disease is not laid bare the
remedy will not effect cure. A solu.
ton of blue vitriol as strong as you can
bear your hand in, for moment, having
the liquid three or four inches deep, OF
deep enough to cover all the affected
parts; then hold the diseased foot in
this liquid ten minutes, or long enough
to penetrate to all the diseased parts.
Put the sheep on dry barn floor fol
twenty hours to give it chance to take
effect In every case where have tried
it, it has effected cure, and l have
never given sheep medicine internally
for foot-rot. This remedy ocall dead
shot when the foot is thoroughly pre-
pared, but more expeditions way, and
where you don't hardly expect to ex.
terminate the disease, but keep. it in
subsection, is this: After preparing the
feet as for vitriol cure, take butter OF
anthony, pour Oil of vitriol into ii
slowly until the heating and boiling
process ceases, and apply with swab.
This remedy works quicker, is stronger
than the vitriol, and is just as safe, but
its mode of application renders it less

Effects of Sunlight on Flour.

1t frequently happens that wheat OF
rye flour, in spite of the greatest care in
baking, yields an inferior loaf, and
the failure is commonly attributed
to adulteration; but when submitted to
investigation neither microscopic MOI
chemical tests reveal any adulteration.
Such flour is returned to the miller OF
dealer as unfit for use. The miller says
the flour was injured by the heating OF
the stones, and the dealer attributes the
defect to the circumstance that the sun
must have shone upon the sacks during
transportation. 1t has been proved by
numerous experiments that flour cannot
bear the action of the sun, even when
not exposed directly to its rays. When
flour is exposed to the heat of the sun
an alteration takes place in the gluten
similar to that produced by the heating
of the stones. For this reason it is adj
'visable that the transportation of fiou1
should take place, if possible, on cool
days or by night, as well as that fom
should be stored in cool place. Dos.

Lawyers Fees

The Supreme Court of this State, on
Tuesday last, decided case on appeal
from Superior Court of this city, in
teresting alike to litigants and lawyers,
as protective of the former and restrict
i've of the latter in the assessment of
counsels' fees. In this particular case
the lawyers fee bill, presented by the adj
ministrator of an estate, was for S., 1915.
The Superior Judge disallowed it and
cut it down to $1,000, thus saving to
the minor heirs or other legal inheritors
of the estate $4,075. 1t appears that
the evidence of other lawyers was SUBJ
mitted to the Superior Court in sup
port of the reasonableness of the bill for
5000, but the Judge, of his own
motion, disregarded this evidence and
cut down the bill as just stated. Hence
the appeal to the Supreme Court. That
Court lays it down as the law in the
premises that "the Court below was not
bound by the opinion of professional
witnesses-other. lawyers-as to the
value of the services rendered by the
attorney for the administrator, but
was authorized to use its own Judgment
as to such value, comparing the same
with the opinion of the witnesses and
make such allowance as should be just.
This decision COMFORTS with one recent
ly rendered by New York Court in
similar case, where lawyers fee bill
was cut down to less than one-fourth,
accompanied BY severe reflection on
the greed of attorneys in their dealings
with clients. 1t is never difficult for
lawyer of good standing and practice to
procure plenty of witnesses his broth
ers at the BARN support Of the most
extravagant claims against client, but
especially in the settlement of estates of
deceased persons, for the members of
the bar have a common interest in these
matters. And it is a good reason that
because they are interested witnesses,
the Court should take their testimony
with many grains Of allowance. The
decision is a just one and the wonder
is that is was not rendered years ago
