A Minnesota Murderer's Sentence

William T. Miricl, a printer, was tried at
Anoka, Mimi, for the murder ofPeter Guess.
The verdict OF the Jury found Miricl guilty
Of murder in the first degree, with a recon-
mcndation to mercy. Mirick, as through
out the trial, was perfectly cool and col
lected, and showed not the least signs ofex-
element. When asked if he had anything
to say, he replied, 81 have not, and don't
know as anything | could say would make
any difference.
The Judge said: "It is not essential for
me to state the exceptional circumstances
which lead me to SO certify and to temper
Justice with mercy, by hereby certifying
that in the case Of the State OF Minnesota
against you, William Il. Mirick, by reason
OF exceptional circumstances the case is
not one III Which the penalty OF death
should be imposed. It is therefore the or
der and sentence that you, William F.
Mirick, having been convicted OF the crime
OF murder in the first degree be punished
therefore by imprisonment atlabor i'll the
state prison at saltwater Mimi, for the
term and period OF your natural life''
Mirick was taken to Saltwater Peniten-
tiarY at once.

ally Increasing so as to get the hogs OH
full feed by the time the corn is ripe.
Aside from the fact that it requires
much less food to produce a pound OF
pork IN warm than in cold weather,
there is the further advantage of hav-
ing your stock ready early, to enable
you to take advantage of good prices.
/ have often known farmers to sell
hogs in October for more than they
would have brought if fed two months
longer. There is no question that the
cheapest pork is made from young
animals and the best way to feed a
pig is to keep in gaining rapidly from
the start. This has been demon
strated repeatedly One experiment
conducted at the Michigan Agricultur-
al College, was continued for twenty
weeks, divided into five equal periods.
During the first four weeks it required
3.8l ID. of meal to make pound of
gain in live weight, the pigs being two
months old when the experiment. be-
gan. The second period, 4O5 lbs;
third, 4.22 lbs; fourth, 5.24 lbs;
fifth, 5.98 lbs. Other experiments at
the same school showed practically
the same results.
From long experience in the care of
hogs | deduce the following as the re-
quisites of profitable pork making: L.
Good stock 2. Good care, which i'm
plies intelligence and humanity in
treatment, and that the pigs be kept
thrifty from the start. 3. As rule
the shortest period in which we can
attain a given weight will give the
greater profit, exceptions tc this rule
being when hogs are wanted to con-
sumo clover or to follow cattle. 4. By
a judicious uss of grass and other
green or bulky food the cost of pork
can be reduced. 5. A greater gain can
be made in a given time by feeding
slop from mill feed In connection with
corn than fromcorn alone 6. tcosts
much less to make a given weight of
pork in warm than in cold weather.

should stay on the ground exposed to

BUcKwHEAr FOR HORSE FEED
Buckwheat has nearly the same chem
zeal character as oats, and should
therefore be a good feed for horses. In
some places where good horses are
very common, as in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania, the usual horse feed is equal
parts of corn, rye and buckwheatt fine
ly ground together. The writer has fed
a good deal of buckWheat the past few,
months to saddle horse, and it has
kept in excellent condition and has
gone in one week 1875 miles, doing SO
miles in IA hours the last day, with
out much loss offesh and no evidence
OF fatigue. At it's common market
price it is about twice the value OF
oats, weighing SO pounds the bushel,
against 32 or less for oats.

A singular Surgical Operation.

NEW YORK, April 30.-An unusual operation
has just been performed at Bellevue Hospital.
was taken there three months ago, suffering
from severe burns on her right arm. The usual
treatment did no good, and the muscles of the
arm gradually wasted away, until she was unable
to move her hand or forearm, and there was
danger that her arm would have to be amputat-
ed. One of the physicians concluded to graft in
the wounded arm some healthy muscular tissue
from a dog. The young woman was put under
the influence of ether, and a piece of muscle, cut
from the leg of a live dog, was neatly inserted in
her arm. 1t is thought that a union of the mus
cular tissue is taking place. but it will be several
weeks before it can be determined whether the
operation is a success or not. The patient does
not know of the grating of the dogs muscle to
her arm. The operation has never been before
attempted in this country. There is record of
one foreign case, which was successful.
