The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-12-15


The vendetta between the two Corsi-
can families of Nicoll and Pietri, which
has lasted for seven years, has only
now been brought to conclusion,
through the Intervention of NJ. JACQUES
de Perett. friend of both families.
The feud arose during the municipal
elections in the village of San Garino,
to which both families belonged. The
Pietris defeated the Nicolls at the poll,
and the head of the family was elected
Mayor. A few days afterward he was
shot through the head; and though
there was no proof that the Nicolls had
murdered him, this was taken for
granted by his family, and two men of
the Nicoll family were soon aiterward
''found dead" After this three of the
Pietris were murdered; and so the feud
went on for seven years; the other in
habitants being compelled to go about
armed, and being so exasperated that
they talked about killing off both fami-
lies as the only means OF securing tran
guilty.
Fortunately, M. Jacques de Peretti,
Mayor of Levie, a neighboring town,
determined to intervene, and he sue
ceeded after some difficulty in effecting
a reconciliation. A regular treaty was
signed between the belligerents; and
upon a given day the members of both
families assembled in the parish church
and took the following cath, which was
administered to them by the PRIEST
"Here in the presence of God and of the
congregation, we swear, upon the faith
of Christians and upon the honor of
Corsicans to lay down our arms from
this day and abandon all idea of re-
venge, living in peace, as we should
have done heretofore, and declaring un-
worthy the name of Corsican any MEM
Der of our families, should any such
there be-which may God forbid-who
is false to his or her pliehted troth."
The two families then exchanged the
kiss of peace, and a formal report of the
proceedings was forwarded to and pub
lished in all the Corsican newspapers

Winter Care Of Live Stock.

1t is absolute economy to provide
warm and comfortable winter quarters
for all live stock, with an ample supply
of pure fresh air. When animals are
housed in well-made barns and stables,
they require much less food to keep
them in a good condition. Lumber, in
this form, is cheaper than hay and grain
for wintering farm stock. Pure water
in abundance is very needful for the
health Of the animals. 1t should be
drank fresh from the well. If left in
the trough to freeze, it soon becomes as
cold as ice water, and when taken into
the animal system, it requires LAUGH
heat of the body to bring it up to the re-
quired temperature. Avoid us far as
possible having the watering troughs
partly filed W tn ice and snow They
may be made so as 10 turn over when
not in use, and this keeps them clean
and free from the chilling ice
Live stock should be fed regularly
Even If not generously fed, this regular
ity is better than an excess for few
days, and then lack of food for time.
Animals are never cOntented when
hungry, and they should not be permit
ted to thus become uneasy. The dam
age done by one omitted feeding can
not be made good by a double ration
afterwards. This slip-shod me hod of
feeding is quite sure to bring disorder
into the flock or stable.
An idle team may be wintered upon
good hay alone, but when lightly
worked, little grain at noon may be
needed. They are to be kept in good
health and flesh. and the amount OF
grain should be governed accord ngly
Horses doing heavy work will need a
few quarts of ground oats and corn
daily, in add ton to nm abundance OF
the hest hay. Young colts should have
excellent care, for their future useful
ness depends largely upon the growth
they make the first winter Linseed oil
cake in small doses is one of the best
remedies for costvencss in the young
farm animals.
AS the weather becomes col |, the
cows will fail off in milk unless an
abundance OF nutritious food is provid-
ed in the stalls. Beets cut or pulped.
and mixed with cut hay, to which corn
meal is added, make an excellent IA
est Importance to keep up the flow of
milk at the beginning of winter. Calves
and yearlings may be kept in roomy
sheds where, with good feed and abund-
ant litter, they will make large
amount of excellent manure before
spring. kti't
Sheep should be kept from the lambs,
or they will crowd and rob the young
stock. The flock may take II run on the
stubble fields during warm days. The
ticks should all be killed before mid
winter. Boys may be paid, by the
dozen, for picking them off the sheep.
Breeding ewes to have early mutton
lambs, should be kept in separate
yard and shed. where they may have
the most generous feeding. -American

"A pretty way to finish the ends of

process of fringing easy, first draw out
one threat where you wish to make the

--Twenty-four counties of Georgia
have adopted the no-fence law, and
about as many more count es are dis
cussing the subject with indications
that the no-fence movement will win.
Where the no-fence law is adopted,
owners of stock are required to keep
their stock at home, under severe pen
alties, and farmers are released from
the excessive burden of fencing their
fields in order to keep out their neigh
