Kentucky, is such a magistrate. Here
is the decision which he rendered in a
suit brought by a Farmland against
his employer to recover damages for
having poisoned himself with Paris
green, which he was ordered to put on
potato-bugs. 1t was a hot day, and
the man had turned back his shirt at
the throat, exposing his chest to the
poison. The judge said:
The plaintiff exceeded the scope of
his employment in sprinkling Paris
green elsewhere than on the potato
vines, as his special and exclusive
agency was to kill the bugs basking il
the shade Of said potato-yines; the
plaintiffs act in allowing the defend
ants Paris green to come in contact
with his flesh, instead of with the flesh
Of the bugs, was unauthorized and ultra
wires; the mental and physical suffer
ing of which the Plaintiff complains
was the result of his own wrong in
misapplying the defendants Paris
green to purposes other than those for
which he was employed to apply it, am
besides, is damnum absque injuria; tn
plaintiff, in opening his clothes and ey
posing himself to the Paris green, was
guilty of contributory negligence; the
plaintiff knew as well as the defendant
that Paris green was poisonous. If be
did not know that Paris green was q
poison. this suit should not have been
hrouobt in his name but by a guard.

Lime e. Insecticides.

While lime is generally used in the
preparation of bordeaux mixture, in the
best known and most reliable of the
insecticides or remedies for fungus
diseases, other neutralizers may be
used with the copper sulphate, such as
concentrated lyes. For the beginner
in the use of the spraying tools the lime
is, however, the best 20 use, although
there is much complaint regarding it
because of the injury to sprayers. This
is due without doubht, to the fact that
poor lime is used; that it is used too soon
after shaking, and that it is not prop
erly strained. The lime should be of
the first quality, such as is used by
builders, and it should be slaked for
two or three weeks before being used,
so that all possible of the gritty ma
terial that is apt to clog or injure the
nozzle of the sprayer may be dissolved.
Then the lime should be strained
through cheesecloth, to keep out the
grit that was not dissolved.

GrindinE Food for STOCK.


While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether or not food for stock
ought to be ground. there is no doubt
but what young stock of all kinds
thrive best on the ground food. This is
but natural, for the immature stomach
is much better able to digest the ground
food than the whole grain. That ground
food is also beneficial for mature stock
no one viii deny, and yet how benefi-
eial depends both on the food used and
upon the animal.
Wheat fed to hogs must of course be
ground or the hard portions will pass
through the animal undigested; so with
other foods fed to different animals.
and the feeder should use common
sense in determining whether it win
or will not pay to grind the food he has
to give. Many COWS of considerable
age would still be profitable if more
care was taken in the preparation of
the food given them. While the sub
ject is one that must be largely worked
out nv the feeder, it win pay every time
to follow the suggestion that food for
young stock be ground.

Grnen Fnnd for Swine.

Those who have had experience In
feeding swine during the early days Of
spring before there is any pasture fit to
eat realize that the expense for grain
is very heavy without any correspond
ing increase in the weight Of the ami
mails. Such results are discouraging,
but the remedies are to provide such
crops as clover, alfalfa and an abund-
ance OF root crops to feed at intervals
during the winter, but mainly at this
time, between seasons.
Then if it is still possible to get in
an early pasture composed of wheat or
rye sown early, following this with
rape at the proper season, and as the
ground becomes warm using sweet
corn or sorghum sown so as to cut
when needed, the want will be sup
piled.
There is some objection to feeding
heavily of grain food early in the
spring, but this comes mainly because
a supply OF salt and ashes is not sup
piled as an aid TO digestion and to off
set any tendency to dysentery. This
question is worth looking into by those
who raise swine in large numbers.

Horses for Draft.

Any horse the purpose of which is to
draw large loads, whether at the walk
or trot, may be spoken Of as horse
for draft" Common usage has fixed
the term draft on horses of specified
weight and size, but there are other
classes on the market whose confor-
nation is what has come to be known
as the draft FORM" but which differ
from the drafter in the matter Of size
and weight and the manner Of per-
forming their work. The drafter prop
er works always at a walk. While other
