The Live Weight Of Cattle.

( I have several methods Of finding
sthe live weight of cattle, and find the
following the most correct: Measure
the girth around the breast, just be-
hindithe shoulder blade, and the length
}of the back from the tail to the fore
part Of the shoulder blade. Multiply
the girth by the length. and If the
girth:i Is less than three feet, multiply
thii product by eleven, and the result
wiz be the number Of pounds. If be-
tween three and five feet multiply by
sixteen; If between five and seven feet,
multiply by gtwenty-three; If between
seven and nine feet, multiply by thirty.
one; ffs between nine and eleven feet,
multiply by ;forty.-F. F. Frantz, in

II you want to begin pasturing early
in the spring and keep your clover
graZed down close. and do not give any
grain food, five or six good sized hoSJ
or twice as many shoats will do very
we'll on an acre. If you wait until the
cl57eT begins to bloom, it will feed two
OF three times as many pigs. I think
that good clover pasture Is indispeE-
sable in raising healthy swine, but I
always give some grain to my hogs all
the time they are in pasture, as the
clover will go twice as far, or twice as
many hogs can be kept per acre. The
hog in his normal condition Is a grass
eating animal. and to keep him through
the summer season wholly upon the
more concentrated and heating foods
is as unnatural as it would be to keep
cows in the same manner. While upon
pasture, hogs will tramp down and
root up more clover than they will eat.
and for this reason would never be-
gin pasturing in the spring until the
clover has made q good start. If you
want hogs to do well on clover avoid
concentrated foods as much as possi-
bic before putting them in pasture, 80
that their stomachs will be distended
and they will have the capacity to eat
clover greedily and thrive upon it."
wormy Apples.
There is nothing new about wormy
apples except the way to'avoid having
them. There are several species of
grubs or worms which work In apples,
but the one which does nearly all the
damage is the core worm. The core
worm is the offspring Of the Goblin
moth, and this Is the insect which q :
man wants to fight In his apple trees.
The best general remedy for the core
worm or Goblin moth, according to In
formation furnished by the Vermont
experiment station, Is paris green.
Some apple growers use London pur-
pie. others use white arsenic, but they
amount to the same thing. They all
poison the core worms. Other insecti.
CLUES ike ucLtUOiep hclOSChC VI Jul
phur are not effective in this case.
In the hands of the average man paris
green is the best medicine for the cod
lin moth. The poison should be thor
oughly mixed with water at The rate
of quarter of rn.lId TO the barrel
that is, about on roau1 Of paris green
to 100 to 200 gallons OF water. About
pound of lime ought, to be added 70
each barrel of water, which will pre-
vent scalding Of the foliage. 1t should
be applied with q spray pump and fine
nozzle.
( In case bordeaux mixture is used on
the tree the paris green may be added
directly to that solution at the rate ale:
ready recommended.
The first spraying for the Goblin 4
moth should be made as soonsas the
blossoms fall, or within week after
ward. It is very important to do this
before the little apples begin to hang
down their heads, as after that time
they do not catch, and hold the poison.

CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflama-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

NOT GUILTY.
Rev. w. Il. Johnson Acquitted of
the Charge of Murder.

The State.
Bamberg, Dec.-This morning
at $50 O'Clock the jury brought
in verdict of not guilty, and the
Rev. w. Il. johnson was free
man, and in the sight of the law,
innocent of murder in the killing
of w. L. Bellinger last April.
UP to 1.30 O'Clock this morning
it appeared that the jury could
not agree. and it was thought that
the court would have to order a
mistrial. This expectation was
entertained generally, and it was
the opinion of many during the
progress of the trial.
RETIRED AT MIDNIGHT.
Mr.. Johnson sat in the court
room until midnight, surrounded
by a group of his friends, await
ing the jury's decision. He then
retired to the Jail for rest. At
5 O'Clock the bailiffs were
awakened and told that a verdict
had been agreed on. Messengers
were at once dispatched for Judge
Watts, the court officers and the
prisoner.
On account of the early hour
but few knew of this, and only a
small crowd assembled.
HE WAS CALM.
johnson appeared, and from
his calm demeanor, one would
never have suspected that he was
the man who was to be told on
this beautiful Sabbath morning
whether he was to suffer the pen
atty for a crime or VIII ether he
was to be returned to his family
a free man. He stood quietly
and patiently and without show
ing the least emotion listened as
the foreman read the verdict,
"Not guilty" He quietly and
pleasantly shook hands with each
juror then left the court room
and went to his home.
PREACHED YESTERDAY.
At II o'clock today he preach
ed to his congregation, in the
Bamberg Baptist church.
Thus ends the most notable
trial ever held in this county.
Business was almost suspended
in town and the keenest interest
taken by everyone in the pro-
ceedings. II. Eaves.
