A Welsh county ourt judge recently
had before him Case in which printer
sued pork butcher for the value of a
large parcel of paper bags with the lat
ters advertisement printed thereon.
The printer, having no suitable illustra
ton to emhellish the work, thought he
improved the occasion by putting an
elaborate royal arms above the man 8
name and address, but ultimately the
latter refused to pay.
The judge, looking over a specimen,
observed that for his part he thought
the lion and unicorn were much nicer

will be seen at cut /, every pound Of
hay and grain must be carried and
placed in the hangers of 30 or 40 cows

a good place for three hired men, where
two, or a man and boy, could do it

The gentleman who owns the place Is
able to hire all the help he needs, but
complains already of the cost of making

In the second cut, from the same

has nothing finished in brass and wal

upon the second floor over short in

carrying it, No hangers are used.
The alley floor is of cement, slightly

the bran and hay are merely worked one
way and the other with fork, rake and

The Farmers' Cabbage.

While market gardeners are finding
late cabbage sold too cheaply to allow
them any profit this does not appear to
be the fact with farmers who have
cheaper land, says American Cultivator.
Here is the explanation given by the
authority referred to:
The excess of fertility in the market
garden does not count for growing late
cabbage as the heads have to be turned
down in order to prevent them from
splitting. Any good corn land with II
dressing of manure will be rich enough
for the late cabbage crop. The secret is
in manuring and blowing the land early,
and then thoroughly working it until
the last of June or first of July, when
the cabbage is to be planted. This fills
the soil full of plant food, and the plants
will grow better at first than will those
of the market gardener following some
early crop -Four thousand head of cab
bage per acre, at or cents "A head,
make return larger than most farmers
get from an acre by average farm crops.
