LAWYERS WHO LosT THEIR EEEs

Their Realistic Courtsoom Quarrel Did
Not HooauInk Their Clients.
Speaking of lawyers courtroom
quarrels. and the friendliness which
they afterward display outside the
courtroom, / am always reminded of
the experience of s. F. Nuckolls. a
groceryman here IN the early days
and the first delegate to congress
from this territory There existed a
very bitter feud between Nuckolls
and another man, and the matter got
into court. One of the men retained
A j. Poppleton and the other j. NJ.
Woolworth, both of Omaha. Each
client instructed his lawyer to rake
the other party to the suit over the
Goals in the hyeliest possible manner.
Nuckolls, in telling the story, said:
when my lawyer got up settled
comfortably back in my seat ready
to enjoy myself thoroughly. AS my
lawyer warmed to his work he gave
my opponent such tongue lashing
that he seemed to fay him alive.
When the lawyer sat down thought
it was proved to the satisfaction of
everybody that the other fellow was
the meanest skunk that ever infest-
ed the earth. When the opposing
lawyer got up wondered what he
could have to say / didn't have
long to wait He sailed into me and
belted me all over the earth. Before
he got half way through he pictured
me as the meanest scoundrel this
side of Jericho, and sneaked out of
the courtroom until the storm was
over.
After he was through speaking I
came in again and sat down beside
my lawyer. 1 took it for granted
that the lawyers had as much per
sonal feeling in the matter as their
clients had was therefore very
much surprised to see Poppleton
hand note across the table to Wool
worth, who opened and read it and
then smiled back. This note he
twisted up and threw under the
table. l had the greatest curiosity
in the world to find out what was in
it and after court ad djourned remained
behind. The note contained these
words; What viii we charge these
two foolsl'
i was mad / took the note and
hunted up my friend, the enemy,
and showed it to him Then he was
mad, and we both went to the court
house, had the suit withdrawn. set
tied the costs, renewed our broken
friendship and beat the two Omaha
lawyers out of big fees. ~ cheyenne

Stripping the leaves from the standing
stalks of corn while in their best green
condition is a quite common practice in
some sections of the country. When
properly cured and bound in bundles
they make excellent white fodder, and it
is generally considered that the pulling
of the leaves causes no decrease in the
production of grain. To test the ques-
ton of loss or gain, experiments were
made on sixteen plats at the Georgia sta
ton. From one-half of each the leaves
were stripped and the fodder carefully
cured and dried.
The plats from which the blades were
stripped yielded $50 bushels of shellei
corn per acre. The unstripped plats gave
a yield Of 1913 bushels per acre, loss of
3,4 bushels as the result of pulling the
fodder. But the yield of fodder was o70
pounds per acre, at cost for pulling and
cutting of eighty-ono cents. In other
words, there was loss equal TO 1904
pounds of corn and gain of 270 pounds
of fodder. ......M
From the above and similar trial pre-
ceding it tine conclusion is reached that
the strongest argument against the prac-
tice is the meager results in fodde~ com.
pared with the amount of labor involved.
The same labor employed in moving
grass or any good forage crops, even
without the use of improved machinery,
would yield vastly greater results.

that the honesty of his proceeding might
be questioned. He is a Young man, and

was not long ago that he was approached
by pension agent, who advised him to
apply for a pension. He secuted the
idea, saying that he had not done any
thing to ehtitle him to be paid, and he
was in earnest about it.
The agent kept at him, however, and
told him that the money was there in
the treasury, and that he might just as

never seen any service whatever, put in

Planting Cabbage at various Depths.

About twelve years ago trial was
made by The Rural New Yorker of plan
ting cabbages at various depths. 1t was
done to ascertain whether the plants
would make larger or smaller, more or
less solid, heads if the leaves of the
plants were left on or cut off. All the
leaves of about fifty plants were set as
taken up from the seed bed. The leaves
of fifty others. all except the central,
small, latest leaf, were cut off. There
was no appreciable difference in the size
or weight of the two lots at harvest. 1t
is probable that tho outer leaves of cab.
bage plants do neither good nor HARM
They usually die before the plants start
into new growth.
