A Hint to Dairymen.

A Wisconsin dairyman reports his
experience in this way: When the
keeping of his COWS cost him $50 a
year each, he made no profit on them.
He increased the cost of feeding to S25
year and made a profit of 1914
each. Increasing the cost still further
to $33 per year, he netted $l4, 33 profit
on each COW, and last year, the feed
costing Sl3 each, the profit was S64.3O;
the profit increasing much more rap
idly than the increase in expense.
This remarkable increase he does not
attribute wholly to feed, as better care
and better knowledge Of the business
had something to do with it, but the
foundation was better feeding. There
is food for thought in the figures given
above, and the result warrants expert
ments with which dairies are not now
paying as they should.-American

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Mississippi Truck Farming.

1t is with a feeling of grateful pride
We note the progress of horticulture at
Crystal Springs, Miss, as it was pre-
dicted that trucking would "bOOm for
a season, then go under" 1t is not,
however, the case here: for while some
have failed, many have succeeded.
Where the trucker has liking for his
work, gives it his attention, watches
the market, studies packing, etc, ETC.,
he is not going to fail. He realizes
profit and pleasure from his beans,
peas, radishes, tomatoes and other
products. There are many serious
difficulties to contend with and
fight against, but the trucker must
remember there are no heroes
where no battles are fought. In the
tomato patch we must wage war
against the tomato WOrm-a dreaded
foe. Ofttimes more than half the crop
of fine fruit is destroyed by this little
worm boring into the fruit. 1t resem-
bles the cotton worm, and is claimed
by some to be the same, but itremains
a disputed question, and further in
vestigatiOn is being made and Prof.
Tracy, of the Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College, is hopeful Of
finding weapon that will rid us of
this pest. Our humble experience has
been never to leave the worm-eaten
fruit in the field, if so the worm in
creaseS moro rapidly. In the beam
patch we must fight against specking.
Acres of the Golden Wax have been
lost by little brown (decayed) speck
covering the bean. A preventive
for this is being discussed by our
Horticultural Society. l give here a
bit of experience which may prove
profitable. BY some it is approved,
by others condemned. On the same
farm there were planted two bean
patches. A few weeks previous to
planting there was drilled over the one
bed a quantity of green stable and COW
pen manure. The season proved favor
able and the vines grew beautifully.
The beans were unusually fine and did
not speck. The other patch received
the same attention; the same vernal
showers, cultivation, fertilizing, ETC.,
but no stable manure was applied.
These specked so that more than half
the beans were lost. There al
ways is risk in raising early
vegetables. This spring our rad
ishes were frozen aud would break
like icicles when thrown on the Chica-
90 market. Hence our radish crop
was a failure, financially Peas, also
were low this season, as it was said
that we glutted the Chicago market
This, however, need be the cry no
longer, for other facilities are open to
us now and we are shipping carloads of
tomatoes to Boston, to Buffalo, to Pitts
burgh, to Cincinnati, to New York and
other cities. Strawberries are our
surestmOney-making crop, as they bear
well and never fail to sell readily. Our
canning factory is doing good work,
and we have many reasons to be thank
full for this new industry. 1t is a grand
work in that it gives employment to
many who otherwise were entirely de-
pendent, and encourages our boys to
become practical, helpful Citizens

LAW AND LAWYERS.
How Attorneys Make Living When
There Is q Scarcity of Large Fees.

How Attorneys Make Living When
There Is a Scarcity of Large Fees.
A leading attorney said that the days
of fat fees for lawyers in indianapolis
are gone. 'Large fees" he continued,
''are rarely gained now. Occasionally
an attorney for a large estate man
ages to get considerable sum for his
services, and q few mon who arc set
tling large trusts are well paid, but
heavy fees for ordinary litigation are
no longer paid by business men.
Special litigation, demanding time and
research, commands price commen-
suratc with the pOckct-bOok of the
client"
SIS thcro any regular scale of prices
followed by attorneys?" be was asked.
"No, we nearly all have a sliding
scale Of prices, like physicians, and if
no prior arrangement has been made,
when the case is concluded and a set
tlement called for, the means of the
client and the result of the suit enter
into calculations. In damage suits the
fee of the attorney for the plaintiff in
variably depends upon the amount re-
covered. An agreement is made that
he shall have a certain per cent. Of the
amount recovered, and if he fails to
procure judgment he gets nothing for
his services. In criminal cases, the
sum is generally agreed upon at the
outset, and portion of the amount
demanded before the case is taken is
paid to the attorney. The fees
in that branch of legal work do
not compare with the amounts
paid here for defense in the earlier
days Of Criminal Court practice. In
former days, when crimew much more
prevalent than now, our best criminal
lawyers were remarkably well paid.
| know several who each received a
fee of $500, and I am told that double
that amount has been paid by one or
two men to attorneys who had them
aCQulJleu OF mufQer.
"What kind of litigation is most
common now?'
"Divorce suits, l should think.
They are very abundant, and growing
more numerous all the time. There
/. are quite number of firms that make
/. specially of divorce business, and it
d. S said that they sometimes inCite do
ed nestle disturbances for the purpose Of
la .etting case. The minimum charge
y, or obtaining a decree is $25, but when a
ontest arises the fee frequently
bis caches from 800 to $3.50. In cases
Js' here the parties are well up in social
y ircles lawyers frequently charge as
y luch as $500 for their services.
tbs "Commercial and railroad litigation
; g ays best, doesn't it?'
e "Yes, nearly all large business
buses make annual contracts for the
'r andling of their routine legal bust
,r,. sss, of which they necessarily have a
dog ,od deal. Such a position is gener-
tan ly worth from $1,000 to $4,000 to a
Ie bisa gal firm, and if it has several clients
th' that kind, you can see it pays quite
INV -n I'll. The tendency among business
y. .I % IN is to compromise all suits, and the
rk of the attorney is generally

CostiVeness in Lambs.

In reply to a correspondent who in
quires the cause Of cOstivenoss in lambs
we would say that our own observa-
tion is in harmony with a well-knOwn
author who says that it is generally
connected with dry and bare state Of
the pasture. The existence of it hay
ing been clearly observation-disclosures
not being, on the one hand, any me-
chanical obstruction from the wool
of the tail being glued over the
fundament; nor, on the other hand,
any evacuation of small drops of
liquid faces, accompanied by violent
straining, the case must be attended
to, for it will generally be connected
with degree of fever that may be
exceedingly dangerous. Half-ounce
doses of Epson salts, in solution,
should be administered every six hours
until the bowels are well evacuated,
after which the lamb and the mother
should be turned into more succulent
pasture. .-Amcricun St0ckmaR.
