FRIsKY DExTER's TALE.
He Answers the PiAiatsss Wall of the
froIicsomx Julia


The breach Of promise suit, Julia
Goddard vs.. Dexter u. westcott. WAS
continued in Judge Adsit's court yes
terday 10 large audience. The front
seats were reserved for ladies, aad the
ladies filled all the reserved seats. The
prlneipsi witness of the day was the
aged defendant. lie told hrs story with
u slow elaboration, highly e1asperat-
ing 10 the impatient sensation lovei,
who usually likes 10 take these things
as the email boy shoyels IN stolen pre-
serves. But the old man was ine1or-
able. and spoke only as he Was showed
along inch by inch by MS counsel. ow-
ing 10 the negative nature of his test
mony, the sensational features when
characterized the affirmative periods OF
JUDAS testimony were almost wholly
absent.
Had Done His Level Best
The old man admitted thathe had done
his level best 10 get julia 10 marry HIM,
but that Julia had played him coy both
as 10 the form and substance OF the
proceedings. Once on the way from
church, when he preached the subject
of matrimony, she steered away by say
ing she would never marry man who
chewed tobacco, and particularly If the
same man drank whisky, which see un-
derstood he did. But he told her he
was getting along in lie, and he deemed
II necessary for him To take Little OF
these things 10 keep ablaze the fires of
life. With such PLAUSIBLE persuaslons,
lie succeeded IN reconciling her TO the
trIfics of whisky and tobacco. After
they had arranged for their joint trip
TO Ohio, he asked her If she would con-
sent TO marry before they Set out. The
answer came quick, sharp and decisive,
no.
Never Kissed Her In His Life.
He never tried to put hls arm around
her, and never kissed her in hls life.
He never sat within n distance of her
nearer than feet, except when they
were on the cars. Then, of course, the
enforced propinquity made an excep-
ton which he was not TO blame for.
When his arm was tired, he often rested
II on the back of the seat, but II never
got tired enough to drop off its perch.
She told the old man on the way to
Ohio that she would never marry him
without his daughter Ellen's consent.
With her opposition, their married life
would be unhappy, and the final agree
ment of the lovers was that they would
MARY whenever Ellen's consent should
be obtained. But that consent has
never been given. Ellen even shrieked
and
Tainted Dead Away
when the father broached the subject
to the daughter. This of course broke
up the contract, or rather was the one
absent ingredient which robbed the
mutual understanding of It's character
of IA legal contract. The whole thing
WAS contingent and conditional. The
condition never existed, and there was
no contract To marry.
The above is substantially the old
mans story, and his attorney will have
on the stand today several witnesses 10
corroborate all that the defendant has
spoken.

FARM NOTES.

4 calf can be prevented from having
horns by an application of crude potash to
the spot where the incipient horn can be
felt-.o Waldo F. Brown says. The plan
of dehorning is gaining in favor, and
done in this way has much to commend
1t.
All that men learn o. the human or the
animal system is learned by close and
careful observation, sometimes kept up
for many years. If nobody ever observed
stock animals with more care than some
of our farmers do, our farming would be
more ancient that it Is, by several thous-
and years or so-Peopie & Patriot.
Pigs that are narrowed as late in the
year as this are liable to be stunted unless
we'll protected against cold. If the young
pigs meet with any drawbacks between
this time and spring they will be slow in
recovering, and it is doubtful if they will
progress as well or grow as large as pigs
that may be farrowed n the spring.
There is much talk about how many
pounds of milk COW gives, and farmers
are recommended to buy spring balance
and weigh the milk daily. This is right,
and will lead to a correct wedding process
if rightly followed up. But the COW that
gives the big mess Of milk in the bel rht
Of feed is not always the best cow The
persistent mixer is the profitable cow, and
she may never give more than ten or
twelve quarts day. Reckon up the
yearly yield and your figures will be valu

Firewood,

The time when farmers depend upon a
good stock of firewood for their comfort
has passed by except in places somewhat
remote from the railroads or seaports;
coal requires so much less labor in tending
fires, and is so cheap that most people pre-
fer to use it when it cap be conveniently
obtained.
Still we must have some wood for kindl-
ing, and for transient fires at night and
morning in mild weather when coal is not
needed; and then there is cheerful glow
and an air of hospitality which belongs to
an old fashioned open fireplace which
makes many people delight in having it
even when they depend upon coal-burn-
ing furnace for the comfortable heating of
the whole house.
The best time for cutting wood Is in the
early part of the winter before the deep
SHOWS fall. one can then easily cut close to
the ground and pile the wood to be haul
ed off when the snow comes.
All kinds of wood burn very much bet
ter for being we'll dried, and some kinds,
such as birch, poplar and willow should be
cut up and housed or protected from rain
by shelter of boards within few months
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-01-29

after the trees are cut down. If gray
birch, willow or pine are left unsplit ex-
POSED to the weather the wood soon be-
comes "dozy" and almost worthless; but
if split up and housed soon after being cut
they make excellent 6rewood.
For kindling coal fires there is nothing
better than dry birch or pine if they have
been we'll taken care of; but otherwise they
are well-nigh worthless
There is an old saying and true one
anon g farmers that "a rich man may be
able TO afford to burn green wood, but a
poor man cannot" Then lay in Il good
store of frewood far ahead and have to dry
when you want it for use and Jour wife
and daughter will be able to cook you an
early breakfast cheerfully.

Some Canadian Notes

Fall wheat has proved enc of the best
crops. some farmers having from 30 to
over 40 bushels per acre; still on many
farms the yield was under 20 bush. Why?
Because the land was not properly pre-
pared and many of our farmers will not
buy artificial fertilizers. "What!' say
they, pay from So to 81 for fertilizers :?
1t would be folly Yet their next door
neighbor does so, and reaps over 80 instead
of under 20 bushels, and the following
year cuts two tons of clover, while his
neighbor cuts only one. The Improvement
in machinery has made farming much
easier. There are now no tired backs from
cradeling and binding, and vita impro 7ed
cultivators there ought to be much larger
area under roots. | feel confident that
any farmer who will sell only his wheat
and live stock, and feed all his coarse
grain and hay can with a small outlay on
artificial manures make his land produce,
on an average, over IS bushels of wheat to
the acre. while with the acid of barnyard
manure all his other crops will be in pro-
portion. &. }. +.

How to Commence Farming.

In beginning the business of farming
few men can safely expend large amount
of money at first, and equally few can
safely 90 into deot without risk of losing
what has been invested. Time is not al
ways money and a young farmer will often
have plenty of time which cannot be made
equivalent to the expenditure of money
made to save time. But by judicious
management the time spent can be made
equal to money saved and thus the COM
mon adage will be proved. Many young
farmer has had reason to regret ignoring
the advice of Solomon in this respect:
First make it for thyself in the field,
and then build thy house" and the barn
and pure bred stock, too, must follow the
first provision. And no doubt money ex'
pended in costly buildings and animals is
the road to ruin that has been travelled by
many beginner in farming.
Cheap bat useful buildings, that may
be added to or improved in the fitting
afterward, and well-selected native stock,
to be improved gradually by breeding, is
the safest furnishing for a young farmer.
When the farm begins to pay, the profits
may be invested in betterments. but
even those should oe made for in
crease of profit rather than for improbable
appearance.
