Remarkable Law Suit.

PROVIDENCE, K. l., September 1.-THE
basement the county court house was full
OF cats to-day, and the halls and corridors OF
justice echoed with the bowls of the felines
who had been corralled from the several
states in New Eogland some being brought
here in baskets from distance of 400 miles
The presence of the caterwauling tribe was
occasioned by another hearing in the first
and only cat case brought in this state. a case
which brings into prominence the family of
Noble d. W. Demunn and Miss Caroline
Richmond. Both families belong TO the
upper crust ofsociety and both claim own
ship of a tortoise cat. The Demunns owned
the animal and it strayed to Miss Rich
mond's house and she has kept il. The De-
munns introduced expert testimony last
Saturday to prove the age OF the cat and
they apparently won the case The other
side was given until to day to put in rebuilt
ing evidence, and this consisted of the col
lection of cats referred to which had been
gathered regardless of expense by young
man who was on the road all week picking
up tortoise cats with pedigrees sworn to for
the purpose of springing them on the expert
and confounding him as to his knowledge Of
ages. Unfortunately for the Richmonds the
expert was not here to be confounded and
SO they went to great deal of needless ex-
pense. At Miss Richmond's instance the
reporters were excluded from the hearing
and the greater part of the day was taken up
with the secret inquiry upon which de-
cision is to be given by the master in chan
cery, who is acting as arbitrator.

Agricultural Notes.

Lovett's White is the name of new
peach which is said to have yielded an
nually in certain eastern states where
most other varieties have failed. 1t Ia
claimed that il is the hardest white
peach vet produced. Its season is very
late. The color is a pure white; size very
large; it is 4 long keeper; the quality is
sweet and excellent The flesh parts
from the pit perfectly.
Wsod ashes are largely used by farm
ers as a top dressing for meadows.
Spread at the rate of about fifty bushels
per acre.
Poultry houses should be whitewashed,
inside and out, two or three times year.
Into the whitewash for the inside of the
house put a little glue or a teacupful of
soft boiled rice to pail of whitewash,
and also add ten or twelve drops of crude
carbolic acid. as safeguard against ver-
min.
Blackcap raspberry plants are easily
propagated and any one who has a few
plants Of a variety that pleases him may
greatly increase their number by layer
ing the tips OF the young canes and COW
ering them with two or three inches Of
soil The proper time to do this is when
the end of the cane begins to enlargeand
swell. soon after the fruiting season.
Plaster is one of those fertilizers which
have remarkable effect upon some
soils. while in other places il has no ef-

Health :. renemen.s.

Il has always been accepted that in
cities the death rate in tenement houses
as greater than the general death rate.
This belief has recently been contro-
~erted- as Car as New York city is con-
cefned. by careful analysis of the re-
turns made TO the health department.
Il was found that last year the general
death rate per 1000 inhabitants was
Il. 9S. uhile the death rate among tene-
snenf dwellers was 22.7l. Beyond this
Il was found that the death rate in large
tenement houses Is less than in the
smaller ones. The chief reason for this
difference Of mortality to the advantage
Of tenement houses is attributed TO the
exercise Of the plenary power Of the
board Of health in regard to them in
both construction and appointments
during recent years. while the construc-
tion arfd appointments Of the hitherto
supposed to be the most aeaithful class
OF houses have been left To the intelli-
gence Of the architects and tenants. ex-

Grass is az natural food FOR swine as
for any other class Of animals. though
this fact does not appear to be daily APP
preciated. This importance Of pasture
IS emphasized by Dir. F. d. Curtis in a
recent issue Of American Agriculturist.
He says: The best results can be had
with breeding sows by turning them
into field where there is plenty Ct pas
ture. Il is not advisable to allow them
TO have pigs where other hogs run. al
though in a large range there is little
danger Of the pigs being disturbed or in
Jared when irrn one thing s saiIe.
there is no food which viii make better
pigs or put the sovs IN better rsfHiition
for bearing young than grass.
Sows that destroy their pigs IN the
spring will make good mothers in the
summer when fed on grass. In the
spring they were feverish and made
frenzied by their physical condition;
while in the summer by the cooling and
succuient character of the grass they
were in perfect condition for the ordeal
of bearing young. Feeding Vegetables
has a similar effect, and when SONS have
these regularly they are always sure to
do well. Fruits are also natural foods
for swine, and sows will do web II fed
nothing but apples. In the summer hogs
should always be on earth and given
chance 10 root When it is known that
all these cheap foods are 50 natural and
healthful for swine, il seems strange
that so many farmers persist in keeping
their hogs, the year round. on grain.
An acre of sweet corn. fed stalks and
all, viii go a long way towards fatten-
ing lot of hogs. Sorghum IS also ex-
cellent. Weeds are allowed TO go to
seed. for extra work next year, which
would make excellent pork.
Here is a maxim: The cheapest foods
make the best pork. The reason IS it IS
the leanest Lean pork then being the
best, we should try 70 make it. Con-
fnement in pens tends to increase the
fat. Exercise develops the muscles.
The muscular part is the best food. The
fat is largely waste. We make fat to
throw it away. People buy hams not
for the fat. but for the lean. When the
fat is wasted it makes the lean cost just
so much more. Reduce the fat and in
crease the lean.
Can this be done? Certainly; in this
way. Keep the pigs all their lives in the
pasture. Feed skim milk and bran.
Keep corn away from them. Give them
vegetables and apples with the bran
When the bodies or frames are grown

In reply TO numberless queries from
farmers whose grain crops have b8en
lessened or entirely destroyed by the
wheat apis. Professor Cook, Of the Michi-
gan agricultural experiment station,
calls attention to the fact that this pest
has many insect enemies that prey upon
It. and in the absence Of any known
remedy advises farmers to encourage
these insect friends.
There are two groups of these bene-
fieial insects, predaceous and parasitic.
Predaceous insects are such as deyour
their prey; parasitic are those that lay
their eggs on or in their victims. The
syheat lolsse parasite is by far the most
Important OF these little friends that
lave come TO the farmers rescue. These
tiny black flies have. it is said. been a
great factor in Kidding fields of the pes
Iiferous lice.
Lady bird beetles are very effective
and efiicent aids in the work of ridding
ihe grain fields Of the aphides. Both as
larvae and as mature insects, they feed
on the plant lice and rapidly deplete
their ranks.

with yellow bands, lay their eggs on the

crops, and therefore urges upon farmers
the importance Of encouraging Instead
OF ignorantly destroying the beneficial
