DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Don't try to make good butter when
milk and cream are kept in unyenti-
lated cellars.
Turn off the old cows. 1t is not wis
dom to keep COWS after they are eight
years old, as a rule.
Whenever you see black pepsin rec
ommended for the increase of the but
ter product, count it as fraud.
Do you know what profit each of your
cows yield you? If you are butter
maker it is possible and profitable.
If your land is hilly, select that va
riety of cows which will thrive best.
Heavy cattle cannot climb hills readily.
In selling a COW for miller, be hon
est with the persons to whom you sell.
Establish reputation for fair dealing
If any of our readers milk eight OF
ten cows they cannot afford to set the
milk in cans. Separate. Get sep.
arator.
The dairy is, without question, more
profitable than wheat growing in Min.
nesota and in many sections of botl
Dakotas.
If, after feeding the proper milk
making food to your cows, you are still
unable to obtain good quality of milk
try giving her fat-making substance
and dispose of her.
When anyone gets where he thinks he
can learn nothing he might as well die
and perhaps he will get somewhere
where there is some thing to learn
There is good deal for the best of u.
yet to learn in the dairy.
Every pound of butter made in the
country should grade as prime butter
and will if all buttermakers will lear1
all that readily can be learned about
the business.-Western Plowman.

Strange that, to the world, Gen.

nounced man without feeling or

be gentle, unselfish, charitable to 9th

He often considered others and their

his own interests. He was loyal and
true to his family and friends, and most
forgiving to his enemies.
was with my father in several great
battles, and watched him during those
scenes of turbulence and fearful car
mage. When others became overexcit-
ed, he remained quiet, self-controlled
having on his face that set expression
which enemies may have called hard
and unfinching, his lips being closed
firmly, and his grim determination to
endure all and go through all for the
final right and good. The scenes of
bloodshed and agony caused him in
tense suffering, of which only those
near him were aware.

though l have seen him when he was
under great strain. For instance, on
the battle field of Champions Hill he
had pushed ahead of the army, and was
attacked by the enemy. He threw his
troops into kne of battle as rapidly as
they arrived, and soon we were un-
der heavy fire. This happened to be

spoke to the division commander. qui-

commander explained that he had been
| quite i'll all the morning, and had taken
to the carriage in order to be able to
keep up with his troops, but that he
was quite ready TO go into action with
them now. This seemed to mollify my
| father very much, as he was ever ready
to listen to reason; so he said simply
that he was glad to hear that it was
not a custom of his subordinate.
On the same field of battle the troops
were terribly pressed, as their num-
bers were very small compared with
those that they were resisting. A por-
ton of Gen. McPherson's corps now
came into line on the right of the In
diana division, and in the distance we
could see the corps marching, counter

Soil for Asparagus.

Asparagus thrives best on a com bina-
tion of good soil with perfect drain
age. If the good drainage is absent,
heavy, compact soil is the worst place to
try to grow it. The plant is frequently
grown in sandy land, and is thought by
some to do well in no other, for the rea-
son that the drainage requirement is
not fully appreciated. Asparagus be-
gins to grow very early in the spring.
before ordinary land is dry enough to
go on; therefore, it requires land in
which water does not stand. Aspara-
gus growth, however, is mostly water,
SO that heavy soil which will retain a
certain amount of water and not leach
itself dry is really desirable to secure
ong-bearing season.

IN FAVOR OF THE cENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
In the Castorin Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of st.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles Fl. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had a right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, Indianapolis,
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair. of st. Louis, and F. H.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
fendant. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria'
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles H. Fletcher, on the label
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
pitchers Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow
and that several arrests may be made.
