TEACH CALVES TO LEAD.
DR.. Gnlen Wilson Relates an Incident
Containing n Lesson for Every
Dairyman.

Did you ever think what il would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any COW on your
place and lead her off like a horse?
DR.. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing a man driving a cow along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, fretting, using harsh language
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
lessons / had in "cow culture"
My good old "pater" kept dairy
of ten cows always, and raised the
cows himself. When a young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves to be led. 1t was only fun
for me and I thought him very lib
eral. Later, | saw him sell a cow to
a neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that ''were not the cow so
nice to be led | should charge you
but $35; but now she is worth all l
ask you, and for that reason"
Knowing that | had taught the COW
to be led and received only a dollar
for the service. l thought at the time
that my parent on my fathers side"
as Artemus Ward said, had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences, it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of good
COW to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven or
led singly sometimes, somewhere.
Teach the calf to be led and when
she's a cow she will not depart from
the early teaching.

GROUNDS DIVORCE ON BIBLE.
Pennsylvania Judge Writes n De-
cIsion of Extraordinary
Interest.


The written decision delivered by
President Judge Arnold in common
pleas court at Philadelphia the other
day. annulling the marriage of VIII
liam Wilhelm to Elizabeth Wilhelm,
on May IL. 1888. is of more than or
binary interest.
The judge expresses in undeniable
terms his sanction and approval of
divorce as a remedy for mismated
couples. supporting his views by
Biblical references,
After reviewing the three marriages
of the respondent the judge states.
referring TO the suspicion Of collision
in the case:
'This is suspicion merely. Our d.
vorce laws are wise and just. | do not
agree with those persons who occa-
sionally denounce them. The hatred,
misery. sin and crime which 50 often
flow from indissoluble marriage con
fractions require a remedy.
"Wife heaters and deserters are
quite as bad as adulterers and should
be deprived of the opportunity of in
ficting further misery on their part
ners DeseFtion as q cause of divorce
has as much warrant of Scriptures as
adultery" fHere the judge cites St.
Pauls FIRST epistle TO the Corinthians.
chapter Z. verse IS.
The Judge SAYS that II divorces we're
granted for Seriptural adultery only
no woman could ever obtain divorce
and in support Of his view refers to
the cases Of Abraham and solomon
