The fight of the territorial courts

McMaster's reason and an attempt

the point where McMaster must
either beg the mercy of the court
or go to Jail for six months and pay
$500 fine for contempt of court.
He is 60 years of age and broken
in health. The merciless action Of
the court so worked upon him that

place. Dca Pedrito was at that
tune tiviug on q rauch near Rio
Gssnde City aud was occasionally
exercising his alleged wonderful
curative powers. Mr.. Carruthere
heard OF him, and as a last resort
to relieve himself of the neuralgia
pain, went to the ranch and asked
the doctor to prescribe for him.
Don Pedrito listened attentively to
the diagnosis OF the affection and
then told Mr.. Carruthers that il he
would pull three hairs out of his
head, one from out of each temple
and the third from the top of his
head he would be completely cured.
Mr.. Carruthers thought the RENE
dy simple enough to try and he
followed the doctors instructions
and Immediately upon the third
hair being pulled all of the pain
left him and he never felt better
in hIs life. He had been subjected
to frequent neuralgia attacks be-
fore that time, but since then he
has never had pain of any kind.
Mr.. Carruthers believes firmly is
the miraculous curative powersef
Don Pedrito. y
"The cures performed by the
doctor since his advent in San An
tonic are numerous and of a varied
nature.
ga well-known German black
smith went to him a few days ago
and asked him to prescribe cure
for his badness, the man being
completely bald, his head shining
like billiard ball. Don Pedrito
told him to go to store and buy a
piece of soap, but to be very care
full aud not let q woman wait on
him. He must then wash LIS head
thoroughly with the soap and in
three days his hair would DE re-
stored. The blacksmith followed
the instructions carefully and
when he awoke on the morning of
the third day he found that the big
bald space on his mead was cover
ed by a thick, heavy growth of
hair two inches long. This story
is the absolute truth and the name
of the blacksmith is only withheld
by request.
"Another cure was that of 8
man in the last stages of consump-
ton, who visited Don Pedrito a
few days ago; He was told to take
of the shoe from Els left foot and
rub one-half of an orange in the
bottom of the shoe and then re-
place it, but not until he had
thrown the other half of the orange
away. The consumptive followed
the prescription and states that all
pain in his lungs Immediately left
him and that be has been gaining
in weight at the rate of eight
pounds a day since then. LIE says
that he feels that his health has
been perfectly restored and that
the blessing of it is all due to Don
Pedrito."

any cattle left alive in the noble old
state of New York. just now the fun
promises to be fast and furious, and the
gore knee-deep.
Dairymen, and especially. breeders
of registered stock, would have a
greater relish for the fun if the state
would pay honorably for the cattle that
it kills so needlessly. The latest pro-
posed legislation in regard to this is
known as the Thornton bill, which fixes
the limit to be paid for healthy regis
tered cattle at $50, and for those that
are found to be diseased, $40. Regis
tered cattle are selling in the open
market at $50 to 81 900.
/ understand that in Massachusetts,
there is no foolishness whatever in re-
gard to paying for slaug htered cattle,
i. e., the state refuses to pay anything.
Meanwhile, presume that consump-
tives are allowed to SOW the germs

Selection of Grasses.

If seeding for hay, the grasses selected
ought to be such as mature at nearly the
same time and which supplement each
other SO that their constituents furnish
a well balanced food If the seeding is
for pasturage, varieties should be Sc
lected which do not mature together
but which start to grow in that success
sion which will bring the vigorous
growth of one after another has done its
best work. By using such grasses we
obtain comparatively constant supply
of fresh feed throughout the season. The
word mature" is used above to indi-
cate the condition of greatest feeding
value.
For seeding for hay Country Gentle
man tells that the following have been
found most valuable in southeastern
New York upon ordinary loamy soils:
Timothy, redtop, meadow foxtail and
meadow foxtail and red clover come to
their best earlier than the timothy and
redtop do, but when we consider the di-
gestibility of the material of the latter,
their greatest feeding value, in gem
eral purpose hay, is found to coincide
very closely with the former as to their
proper time for cutting.
For permanent pasture the following
grasses have been found most valuable
in the locality named: Orchard grass,
redtop, crested dogs tail, meadow fox
tail and English rye grass. Where the
soil is upon limestone rock Kentucky
blue grass may be profitably added.
These may be mixed in parts of equal
money values, except that the crested
dogs tail, being more expensive, should
have double the quantity by this rule.
1t is particularly valuable grass.
For temporary pasture red clover
should be used with the above but if a
permanent pasture is required it is quite
as we'll TO omit it. 1t is advisable to
seed as soon in the spring as the ground
can be worked to advantage. Thorough
narrowing will be necessary for the best
condition to receive the seed. A liberal
quantity of seed should be used, and
after sowing light narrowing with a
fine smoothing harrow is all that will
be needed, and the soil must then be
thoroughly rolled. 1t will be much bet
ter to seed without any grain crop, ac-
cording to the authority quoted.

Silage for Sheep.

Good silage makes as cheap ration
as one can devise for fattening wethers,
although it is even better suited as a
food for breeding ewes. Occasionally it
may be found that the wethers do not
relish the silage, especially if it is in
any way tainted, but if the food is clean
and sweet they will soon learn to eat it
with as much eagerness as they would
good grass. 1t is rarely, however, that
they take any dislike to the silage even
at first, and then only few days are
lost, not sufficient to affect materially
the progress of the ANIMALS. We have
heard of some sheep breeders who
claimed that the wethers would not eat
the silage, and that they had to be
changed upon another ration before they
conld gain in weight. This must be ex-
ceptional, for nine out of every ten sheep
will relish clean, sweet silage.
Probably the trouble has been that
the owners have depended almost entire
ly upon the silage for feeding. This has
been great mistake in the past. Silage
is not intended to take the place of all
other foods, but in all instances either
green hay or stalks must also be fed. If
the sheep, for instance, are fed exclu
sively upon silage, the results would be
that weak and some dead lambs will
follow. The sheep need fodder as well
and also some grain. The same is true
of cows or any animals fed on silage.
A good mixture for the wethers is
made by giving them daily allowance

whole corn. This can be divided to suit
the owner, but a fair proportion be-
tween the silage and the dry fodder
should be observed. The animals I'M
der the treatment fatten rapidly, and so
far as all observations are concerned
they remain in perfect health. The
cheapness of the ration must also be

Pigs Instead of Calves on a Dairy
Farm.

AS far as my experience goes in
growing pigs for money by the side of
calves for money, there is more money
in the pigs than in the calves. A pig
grown along with calf last year, dur
ing the warm months-the calf few
days older than the pig, both being fed
three times a day on sour milk with a
handful of cornmeal-went far ahead
of the calf financially. When the pig
was six months old he weighed $50
pounds and was fat. Fresh pork then
brought seven cents per pound. l
could take $40 for the calf when six
months old. The pig, if sold when six
months old at seven cents per pound,
would have brought $3.50 more than
the calf when six months old. During
the six months the calf ate twice as
much milk as the pig, besides eating all
the hay he wanted. l could have raised
two pigs on what it cost to raise the
calf. So l lost S25 by growing calf
instead of growing two pigs. - Ne,c

externally on the hands, but great care
should be used not to get any of it into

Treatment-Corrosi sublimate can
be bought at drug stores in the form OF
crystals. Two and one-fourth ounces OF
these crystals should be dissolved in a
few gallons of hot water and enough
cold water added to make Is gallons OF

be placed in the solution for II hours

Live Stock Points.

Washington was one of the first men
in this country to appreciate the virtues
and graces of the mule. The king of
Spain sent him jack and jennet, and
Lafayette sent him jack. Lafayette's
jack was bred to the king of Spain's
jennet and produced jack that was the
ancestor of some of the largest mules
ever seen in this country. The jack was
named Compound and was bred to the
mares on Washington's farm at Mount
Vernon. The resulting mules were
sometimes nearly 16 hands high and
bold for over $500 apiece. Mules have
apparently not increased in value or i'm
proved in quality in a century in Amer
lea.
Young geldings are bred and trained
to sell. The sooner they are disposed of
after they are grown and broken the
better. Sell your best ones always, for
they will bring the best prices. But
keep your best young mares and breed
from them. Follow this course persist
emily, and you will breed up your
whole herd of horses.
South American wool is much like
that of North America and is what our

For Fruit Growers.

A young plant, like young animal,
must have its proper food and drink.
Manure, or fertility in the soil, is sim
ply plant food. By keeping the soil
fine and mellow you make the food
available and place ii within reach of
the young plant. The fine white roots
are the feeding mouths of the plant
They suck up their food the same as the
young animal, and they thrive and grow
with good care, or starve and die with
neglect, just the same. The best and
most profitable growth of the animal is
the first. So the fruit grower should
realize that the health, vigor, size and
quality of plant and fruit will depend
largely on good food, moisture and
care in the beginning. Therefore keep
the ground moist and mellow by fire.
quent cultivation. 1t warns the soil in
early spring, and retains the moisture
near the surface in the heat of summer.
1t adds health, strength and vigor-the
better to withstand the attacks of bug,
blight, disease and the extremes of
winter. Feed your plants with top
dressing of fine manure and an appli-
cation of hardwood ashes, the latter
supplying the soil with potash, so nee
essary in the fruit garden. If any
plants have failed to grow, set new ones
in their places at once. Economy of
time and space demands that there be
no missing hills. Potatoes or low
growing crops may be planted between
most berry rows the first season.
Strawberries should have the entire
space. The bush berries set a year
ago should be severely pruned, allow
ing them to bear little fruit of fine quail
ity. The quality and size of fruit on
old bushes is much improved by severe
pruning or thinning of fruit. This
thinning applies equally to all tree
fruits. The demand of the times is for
quality in everything, rather than guam
tity, and this certainly applies to fruit
growing.-Country Gentleman.

THE mechanical arrangement of the
soil determines it's fertility. The fine
ness of the soil is important. The
greater the number of soil grains in a
given space, the greater the amount of
air space, because the small grains, be-
ing light, arrange themselves more
loosely than the heavier or larger ones.
