Feeding Teo Much Corr.

Can the great truth be too often re.
peated, if it be truth that corn is not
the food for working animals, or for
growing ones? 1t is a serious truth
known to thousands OF observing, ex-
perenced farmers, that it causes two
third, of the sudden deaths among
healthy horses. And yet people 90 on
feeding it carelessly year by year. The
poor man, whose all is in his fine team,
will pride himself on his fat corn-fed
horses. Letany reader of this keep
record for one year, of the deaths
among the work horses and mules of
his neighborhood, that are under ten
years of age. and the known or proba-
bic causes, and he will agree with me
that corn is the cause Of two-thirds such
deaths, and perhaps of half the disabili-
ties. Hal we not seen whole nations
OF men pursuing an equally fatal
course, with regard to themselves and
children. in the matter of strong and
poisonous drink it could not be believed
that such ignorance and folly could ex-
ist. Only lately l knew a blear-eyed
person who has expended hundreds of
dollars to cure his eyes, and who knows
by repeated experiments, that absti-
nence from his daily rations of grog for
one month does more toward COM
pete cure than all his doctoring. l
knew of this man s permitting a fine
blood five hundred dolla, mare, to feed
at a trough full of corn with his fatten-
ing animals, and eat at all times of
corn, to safety. Whenl warned, he
drawled out, 81 want to see her fat,
good corn never hurt anything" His
mare became beautiful obiect-'.fat
as butter" and just then laid down and
died.
l venture the assertion that hog chol-
era becomes intensified just exactly as
corn falls in price, and almost disap-
pears when corn reaches its highest
price. Let some persons take note of
this.
Yes, that magnificent grain, that
grand source of wealth. that beautiful
object when growing in the fields, that
most useful product of mans labor,
corn, has literally become curse to us
by our abuse Of it. 1t can be dem
onstrated that it cannot be produced for
less than fifty cents per bushel, yet
thousands of hard toilers grow it year
after yea, and sell It for twenty cents,
and wonder why they are poverty
stricken. They feed it SO wastefully,
one might suppose it cost nothing-all
this is the result of ignorance and folly.
Along this river are hundreds of persons
whofeed cattle and neglect to give them
hay, saying it is waste of time and
stomach room to feed anything but
corn-ignorant that hay contains prop
critics essential to the existence of the
cattle, and so aids digestion that much
less corn gives more fat with hay.
Those who have pursued plans more
in accord with nature, and feed their
stock with variety, and give their horses
and mules barley, oats and sound hay,
chopped feed, some roots, ETC., assure
me that they make more money out Of
one-ffth the corn they formerly used,
and have healthier animals. and that
their farms arc in better condition, :.

the nearest correct), and Thoroughly har-

important Trademark Injunction In

A London telegram of May 5th says: "In

Of this city, the Courtof Appeals has grant
ed the plaintiffs perpetual injunction,
with costs. Tie action, which grew out
of en- alleged infringement of plaintiffs
well-known trademark, st. Jacobs Oil,
was originally heard in the High Court of
Justice where Vice Chancellor Bacon, with
cut going into the merits of the case, con-
sidered it was one that should go before
the Comptroller of trade marks. From
this opinion the Vogeler Company APP
pealed, claiming that they were being in
iureI by the goods of the defendants, en-
titled st. David's Oil, being mistaken for
theirs, and that while they had taken steps
to bring a case before the Comptroller of
trademarks, months would elapse be.
fore a decision could be obtained,
and as their business would be seriously
injured by such delay, a restraining
order should be granted at once. The re-
suit of the appeal was that a perpetual in
junction was made, with costs. The pro-
ceedings before the Comptroller have
been abandoned by the defendants, and

double victory. By the order OF the
Court of Appeal, Parrott & Co. and their
agents are perpetually restrained from
using the term st. David's Oil, or any
similar term, as well as the words The
Great German Remedy and any words
or marks similar to those used by the
Vogeler Company in connection with their
st. Jacobs Oil. The progress of this suit
has been watched with interest by the mer-
camille and manufacturing community of
Great Britain, where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalculable value are
owned. Il was shown by the evidence
that plaintiffs had sold during the
past few years over seven million
bottles of st. Jacobs Oil, and ex-
pended as high as five hundred
thousand dollars in single year for ad.
vertising throughout the world. Their
success in this suit is regarded with great
satisfaction in business circles. Eminent
English and American legal talent figured
in the case. The counsel for the Vogeler
Co., of which latter Mr.. II. D. Umbstaetter
was personally present, were Queens
Counsel Theodore Aston, John Cutler and
