MOTION TO STRIKE LAID OUT
BY the Jndge--M Minor Happenings in
Each OF the Departments
of Justice.

In Judge Clancy's court this morning
the defendant in the suit of Samuel Mul-
Vile against the Pacific Mutual Insur-
ance co1npany Of California took the de-
cisive step in it's effort to secure a new
trial. but for the present failed in it's mis-
sion, as the court took the matter under
Amusement.
The suit is the outgrowth of the killing
of Charles Young by a railroad train near
Moaderville in 1887. Young worked at a
mine in the vicinity of Meaderville and
| While on his way home one evening was
accidentally struck by a train. At the
time of his death he held an insurance
policy for 1000 in the defendant COM
pany. When the company was called
upon to pay up it refused to comply, Civ
| ing as its reason that Young had not
used the necessary p~recaution he should
in trying to avoid the accident. After
! some pickering the defendant offered to
compromise on a basis of $3.50 and the
| public administrator, who had charge
of the estate, accepted 1t. Later on Sam
uel Mulville was appointed administrator
of the estate and ne promptly demanded
from the company the payment Of the
entire amount. The company refused
and Mulville instituted a suit against it.
In 1892 the case was tried and resulted
in a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount. On a technicality in the proceed
ings the defendant succeeded in obtain
ing a new trial, which took place last fall
and resulted in the plaintiff getting a
second verdict for the full amount with
interest at the rate of 10 per cent per
| ~ u-hioh hro1,Ubt tha total IN tn
more than $4,000.
Shortly afterwards the defendant took
steps towards obtaining a third trial on
the ground of alleged newly discovered
evidence, and it's statement was submit
ted to the court today.

Never churn in a cold room
Do not fill the churn more than one
third full.
1t has frequently been found when
least expected that quantities of butter
fat is lost in the buttcrmilk.
If the cream is not stirred frequently
and thoroughly. it will not ripen even
ly, consequently the churning cannot
he thorough.
In some conditions it might ripen
more rapidly near the sides of the can
or vat, in others near the middle. so it
must be stirred several times a day.
BE sure the temperature of the
cream is right. which should be from
60 to 10 degrees. according to the con-
dition of the cream.
Test the buttermilk by means of the
Babcock test, to find positively if there
is any loss of butter fat
Test the skimmilk also not once but
frequently, and by close study condi-
lions can be so controlled that there
will he no loss.

If you find by using the tester that
you are losing butter fat in the skim
milk or buttermilk, or both then there
is a big fault in the way you are handl-
ing your milk and don't rest until YOU
find where it is.
Another thing, test your cows-test
each one-but don't rely upon one trial

I'outtry Notes.

Rapid eating is one of the worst
evils in young fowls. Wet meal is
thrown to them. they gorge them
selves until surfcited and then die.
Mark the chickens each year so
that you can hnow their age. Kill or
sell them after the third year.
The food trough that is kept full
is the lazy mans method of feeding
poultry. 1t is not only expensive but
unhealthful.
When feeding grain to hens scatter
it. This not only keeps the greedy hens
from getting more than their share
but compelS ali to hunt for it
Turkeys are capable of rapid di-
gestion and are apparently always
hungry. If allowed to forage they can
be kept at small expense; if confined
they will eat more than hens.
One advantage of the woven wire
fence is that it neeC not he so high as
fences made of other material For
some reasons fowls will rarely try to
fly over it.

Culture of Water Cross.

Salads now form an important part
of the BIZ of fare at all hotels. and
water cress is extensively used for
salad making as well as for garnishing
many meats and vegetables. There
are many farms in the country
through which streams of water flow
that might lie prohrably utilized in
growing cress. The plant belongs to
the family of aquatics and prefers n
situation along the loamy banks of
running streams The running brook
is an ideal place for water cress. and
as such streams seldom freeze. the
cress, being covered with water, is not

THE CARE OF SHEEP.
Practical Suggestions Which the Breeder
VIII Do Well to Follow.

Don't keep dosing your sheep for lit
tie ailments. About nine times in ten
when sheep get off their feed, the best
thing to do is to keep them off for day
or two longer if their appetite does
not return. A good many sheep have
been killed by feeding the sulphur
alone. This is just a hint.
The average price of sheep was
higher last year than for several years
before The appetite for mutton is
greater now than ever before. There
is no reason to think thai the prices
this year will fall below those of the
one just past
There Is always a good demand for
lamb with green peas in June and
July. Consult your own interest. Get
good coarse wool bucks to breed to
your ewes and have two lambs to sell
instead of one
Don't waste feed. 1t is wasteful
feeding that reduces profits. To feed
half-spoiled feed is waste; TO feed
more than will be eaten with a good
appetite is waste.
Fresh. clear water is very necessary
for sheep. See to it that they have this
now as well as in summer. Keep
plenty of salt where the sheep can lick
it,
Don't feed heavy grain rations near
llmbing time. 1t puts the ewes into
feveriSh condition and this is the very
thing that should be avoided.
Feed light grain ration in connec-
ton with good hay. clover is the best.
and you may expect good, strong
lambs
