Expensive Litigation.

The famous Tones county calf case has
just been disposed of by the Supreme
Court of Iowa. This is one of the most
remarkable cases ON the record of Amer
lean courts, and furnishes a striking H..
lustration of what an expensive luxury a
little satisfaction obtained in legal form
may prove to be. Twelve years ago a
Green county farmer went to Jones coun.
ty and bought some calves of man
named johnson. They were probably
stolen, but johnson claimed to have
bought them from a third party, john
son was prosecuted by the Anti Horse.
Thief Association, but was acquitted.
He sued for $4,000 damages, and the
case has been tried five times, and each
time except one he has received verdict
of from $4,000 to $500, which was al.
ways set aside. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, and the verdict has
been reversed, giving him no damages.
The court costs are now $500, while
the other expenses on both sides amount
to at least $50 600, and several persons
have been ruined by the expenses of the
cases. The value of the calves was $50.

Can Animals be ElavOred ia
Order?

1t is suggested that new industry
might be created in the raising of poul.
try, and various domestic animals upon
csrtain kinds of food that will lmpart to
their flesh new and palatable favors. 1t
is we'll known, for instance, that the
exquisite flavor of the canvas.back duck,
is due to the wild celery it feeds upon
in the Southern marshes, and the deli.
cions Congo chickens owe their superior
excellence to the pine apples they eat.
The grouse of the far Western plains is
aromatic with the wild sage; wild ducks
and other sea fowl have fishy flavor;
and the fish fed to swine may almost be
said to be eaten over again by the con-
sumors of their pork. Milk is especially
affected by whatever is eaten, as every
farmer can testify, whose cows give Bit
ter milk whenever they eat the leaves of
burdock, etc. There can be no doubt
that the nature of their food greatly
modifies the taste aud quality of the
meat of most animals and perhaps with
proper effort, some really valuable dis
coveries may be made in this direction.

THE LEES OF VIRGINIA.
Coming Into Political PrOmi-
II nence after go Years Retirement.

A correspondent writes the following
from Alexandra, Va: For nearly TWEEN
ty years after the war the sons and
nephews of Robert K. Lee lived in re-
tirement, devoting their attention to the
tilling of the soil and seeking no public
notice. All at once, within the last few
years, they have come forward, and lust
now il seems that they will have large
share of the good things in the way of
offices. General Fitzhugh is Governor,
and has still higher aspirations. He is
already looking with longing eye upon
the seat of Senator Riddleberger, and
from present indications his longing is
likely to be gratified. The next Legis.
lature is sure to be Democratic, and
there is hardly man in the State who
would enter into contest with General
Fitzhugh.
General Runy, his cousin, is Congress.
man elect, and as it is the custom to re.
turn member two or three times in this
district, he has a good lease of office
before him. His small majority this
time will not hurt him, since it was due
to the security felt by his friends. Two
other Lees are now looming up and will
probably shine in the political firma.
ment in the near future. One is General
Curtis Lee, brother of Runy, He has
never before dabbled With politics, but
since the recent elevation of members of
his family it is said that he is waking
up to ambition. According to the pro-
gramme of the Lee enthusiasts he is to
succeed Fitzhugh in the Governors chair
hraa rh.a =
very pretty one if it can be carried out,
as Fitzhugh, by the Constitution of the
State, cannot be reelected, and his term
of Office will expire just about the time
Riddlebergers seat becomes vacant So,
if the Governor steps into the United
States Senate and Custis into the Execu-
tive Mansion at Richmond, there will be
no interregnum of the Lees.
Few people in Virginia know that
there is fourth Lee who is likely to
bob up into politics. He is a brother
of the Governor and lives a very quiet
farming life down on the Potomac, in
a1y office, nor has he ever taken part in
any political canvass. Now. it is said,
he is to be brought forward, partly as a
means for further honoring the Lee fam
lily and partly to punish State Senator
w. e. Meredith OF Prince William.
Meredith, il will be remembered, was
General Lees most bitter opponent in
the Congressional Convention and his
course came very near defeating the Gen.
eral. Now the Lee men propose to have
the Governors brother nominated in
place of Meredith for State Sanator in
this district and thus accomplish dou-
BILE purpose.

To NV Wife.

Why need you care, dear wife, or heed
The passing OF your early grace?
What though the lilies supersede
The springtime roses of your face?
What though the azure of your eyes
Has mellowed to a softer blue?
The fairest tints that deck the skies
Are caught from twilight's fading hue.
Why should the ripened fruit regret
Its summer bloom, howe'er so fair?
Why need you sigh, though Time should set
His crown of silver on your hair?
The sweetest fragrance of the rose
Is from It's fading petals pressed.
Aud Nature spreads her earliest SHOWS
Above tine flowers she loved the best.
What care we for the vanished years,
Save for the fruit their summers brought?
What care we for our fallen tears,
Save for the rainbows on them wrought?
Why should we mourn the joys we shared,
Or see them perish with regret,
Since on the fruit our hearts have Jared,
And memory keeps the rainbows YETI
What though our winter time has come.
And summers buds and blooms expire?
Love hath an ever radient home,
And bids us welcome to the fire.
He dwelt with us through all the spring;
We sheltered him from summers heat;
Now at his hearth we'll sit and sing,
And let the wintry tempest beat.

Feeding Growing Pics,

The hog has usually been fed as if
he were capable of digesting all that
could se crammed into his stomach,
and h has been treated as if he were
as hardy as wild boar, and could en-
dure-extremes of heat, cold, filth and
neglect. Now, the hog can only di.
gest a certain amount of food within
a given time, and when lie has eaten
too much he suffers in consequence,
and especially il the food is of kind
not adapted to his requirement. His
digestive organs can bedisarranged as
easily as can those Of the horse, and
filth taken into the system will cause
him to become diseased the same as
is peculiar to humans. 7 he accepted
theory regarding cholera now is that
it is a form of typhoid fever, and if
this is true there is but one conelu.
sion to arrive at,which is that filth is
at the bottom of tie difficulty. The
eating Of filth is bad enough, but the
drinking of filthy water is worse, as
the animal is then thirsty, and the
filth, being in a soluble condition, is:
at once carried into every portion of
the body. The supposition that the
kidneys cause the impurities to be
eliminated is true only when the an
ima is In healthy condition. IT.

Of the body will be closed.

Dor Of management and be more
thrifty, while the excellent health in
which he VIII find them when ready
for being fattened will enable them
to take on more fat and at less cost,
than to keep them fat the whole
year. All that is required with
growing pigs is to keep their quar-
ters clean. Above all, give them as
much fresh water as they can drink.
If slop is fed, place it in trough,
where it will be eaten up clean, in.
stead of being scattered about to fer

Batter From Refined Cream.

paIatable for day or two, but it
soon commences to change, and in
a few days shows signs of rancidity.
Butter made from sweet cream, Just
skinned, lacks character and is al

washing in fresh water also takes
away the fine flavor. A moderate
washing in weak brine is adopted by
the best dairymen. Excessive wash

1t would seem that the ripening

However confident 4 dairyman
may be that. he knows all about
making choice butter, however,
much conceit he may have in his
own methods, he can only command
the highest prices by conf, ming

consumers. If the best trade de-

folly to consign parcels of butter
made from sweet cream. Those who
arc willing to pay fancy prices for
butter should be INDUCED in their
reasonable whims or tastes, and the
dairyman who insists in making
butter his own way, regardless of
the wishes of the consumer, must
take the consequences in slow sales
