the trial has been probably the most fa-

Ignatius Donnelly sued the Pioneer Press
for 100000 actual damages on account of
the republication of a letter from Colonel
King, formerly Postmaster Of the House OF

neer Press eleven years previously. 1t was
on account of the allegations of bribery
made in tie letter that Donnelly brought
the suit. The jury was out three hours,
and at une time, it is said, stood eleven 10
one in favor of the Pioneer Press, but in
view of the fact that one instance Of alleged
bribery in Congress could not be proved
owing to the death of witness, they re-
turned a verdict as stated, making the dam
ages purely nominal, solely on account of Il
single failure of proof.

A Good Substitute for Sweet Milk When
Properly Prepared.


A Good Substitute for Sweet MIX When
Properly Prepared.
A Canadian feeder Of long experience
says that his calves are fed by hand all
the new milk they can take three times
day until about week old. Then
sl1im-milk is added, only little at first,
but the quantity of skim-milk is so in
creased and that Of the new milk so re-
duced that ia two weeks from the COM
mencement of this change skim-milk
only is fed, and this only when sweet,
as when sour il produces scou4's and in
jures digestion in other ways. Skim
milk is fed at temperature of milk lust
taken from the COW. In heating it a
portion Of the milk is put on the stove
in pan or pail and heated gradually
until quite warm. 1t is then poured into
the portions set apart for each calf.
The calves get the milk three times a
day for about a month from the begin
ming of the change to skim milk. but a
less quantity is given at noon. If fed
regularly they may drink all the skim
milk they wish without in my
When the change is being made from
new to skim-milk, faxseed is added 70
the milk Prepare it as follows: For
two calves, take half a teacupful of fax
at night, pour on two quarts of boiling
water and allow to steep until morn
ing, then warm and add to the milk;
the quantity may be gradually but
slowly increased until three-fourths of
a teacupful flaxseed stepped in a pro-
portionate incr~~se of hot water is
given to each animal. The fiaxseed
for the night meal is put to steep in the
same way in the morning Milk is fed
until the calves are seven or eight
months old. They are given access to
as much clean water as they viii drink
at all times. They get all the meal
they will eat up clean twice day. The
meal consists of one-fourth ground
peas, one-fourth ground oats and one
half wheat bran; this is mixed with
good hay run through a cutting-box.
The proportion of hay to meal is in
creased as the calves get older. Where
meal of this kind is not to be had, then
give the calves oats, which may be fed
whole, and need not be mixed with cuN
hay. When autumn comes oat sheaves
are cut fine and the meal mixture
added, but not so much of it in guam
tity as when the cut oat sheaves are not
fed. They get what long hay they eat
up clean in winter, and green food of
almost any kind in summer. They are
kept in loose box stalls in the stable
through the first summer, and stalls are
kept dark in the season of flies. They
NAV get a good supply of sliced roots in
their season.--Orange Judd Farmer.
