The Duties of the District
Attorney

The cost of Grim nal suits 10 the
county is something immense. Yet
there is strange idea in some peoples
minds that we don't have enough of
them. We wish the people who think
that the officers of the law who bring
these cases to attention of court and
jury are pegecttul. could act for
time in the capacityof DistrictAttorney.
How their eyes would be opened. The
District Attorney is literally deluged
with petty cases, brought by the COM
plainants either from ignorance, from
maiice or with good, though misguided
intent. la justice to the public at large
it may be said that perhaps, the major
lty of the criminal cases which are
never tried are of the latter class.
The cost to the county Of any Grimm
al case is great, and of course the Dist
riot Attorney PERFORMS his highest duty
when he refuses 10 prose cute if his
legal mind sees the impossibility of
conviction from lack of evidence or
other causes. and where he sees only
useless expense to the county. This is
one of the District Attorneys highest
functions. to act as a guardian of the
peoples, purpose and pr, vent honest
and well.intending yet misguided CON-
plainants from ins,igating actions which
can only increase The peoples taxes to
no purpose.
There are also unfortunately some
cases which bear upon thier face the
stamp of malice or revenge so plainly
that the Distr ct Attorney cannot coun
tenance them In this refusal he also
acts as puplie benefactor
The evidence required to convict in a
criminal suit must be much stronger
than is needed in civil suit. Not ali
cases which are dropped. are dropped
because they lack merit 10 some. the
District Attorney struggles vainly 10
get evidence sufficient 10 convict. and
knowing that be cannot do il, continues
them in the hope Of getting the
needed evidence in the future. or drops
them ia despair This last class Of
criminal cases arises most frequently

How to Use COtton-Seed Meal.

1t should be mixed with hay, Mill
feed and corn meal. BE careful not to
give too much; begin with small
oluantity-a handful, then two-.ind
increase as your cattle get used to it.
For milk, butter and beef, give two
quarts of cotton-seed meal. add five
quarts of bran, two quarts of corn
meal, and a little linsced meal, to
prevent constipation. Dalnpen SO
that the cotton-sced meal, bran and
ground grain will stick together and
mix we'll.
These arc daily Ia ions for cows, or
cattle of heavy weight. DO not give
young cattle as much. Feed calves
onc-half pint and lambs one gill daily,
mixed with other food. DO not
feed cotton-seed meal to very young
lambs OF calves. You will get
very rich butter, firm and solid, and a
number one beef. The value of the
manure is very large, more than one
thinks for. The best meal sells al
wholesale in New York at twcnt, five
to twenty-six dollars for best quality
for feeding, and less for fcrtilizins
grades.

CLEAN UTENSILS.
A First Requisite to the Successful Dairy


A First Requisite to the Successful Dairy
One of the most da ngerous germs that
can infcst milk is that found in old rot
ten milk in the seams, joints and cor
ncrs of the utensils used in handling
the milk. Ono of the most serious OBJ
jcctions to the use of wood milk pals,
butter bowls and utensils of this kind
is the difficulty in keeping them thor
oughly clean. Many of these are made
of wood that absorb, to Il more or less
extent, butter fats: and when used for
some time get full, and can not other
wise prove but a nest for the propaga-
ton of these germs. Then little
carclcssness in clea ming. will leave
more or less in the seams corners to
rot and breed germs, that are not only
destructive to the good quality of the
butter but breed disease.
So far as is possible use tin and
pressed tin utensils, when it is possiblc
to secure them. The less risk of hav-
ing these germs, and the less work re-
quircd to clean, makes this class Of
utensils the moro economical to use.
If hot water is used will, soda, and
care taken in cleaning, there need be
no difficulty in keeping clean. It is
still best however, to air Il few hours
at least after using. Clean utensils
Is one of the items in manage
mcnt that while comparatively usual
is nevertheless Important, when the
best quality is to be considered; and
carelessness in this respect is often the
cause of the butter not coming up to
the standard. Milk so easily takes any
odors in the air that care must be taken
in every respect to have everything as
clean as possible-cspecially the ves-
sells that must in any way come in con-
tact with the milk, from the pals used
in milking to the packages in which
the butter is sent to market. In max
ing the quality of butter that secures
the highest price every detail must be
looked after closely: and few. if any,
are of more Importance than the keel p
| ing sweet and clean the vessels used in
