Good.-To an indictment for assault with
intent to murder a plea of former con-
viction setting up that the defendant had
been convicted in a court of competent

offense charged in the indictment is a
felony. and the offense for which there

Charges as to Self Defense.-On a trial

Don't Plant Crown Gail.

Grown gall is becoming very prev.
alent In nurseries all over the coun.
try, and it will be well for our readers
to be on the lookout for it. Recently
the inspectors in the state of Wash
ington found consignment of $4,000
apple trees, most ct which were In
fected with crown gall. The consign.
ment was burned. The same lot Of
trees had been passed by the inspect
ors in New York, or else the boxes
and packages in which the consign-
ment went forward contained other
lots Of trees when inspected. II a
man is going to set out a tree he
should know that it is healthy when
he sets it out. A little carelessncss
in this matter may mean q great deal
to the future Of the orchard. If an
infected tree is planted the result may
be doubly disastrous. for the tree may
prove a failure IN itself, and it may
also introduce undesirable fungi into
the soil Of the orchard, and in this
way the rest of the trees may be-
come infected and rendered worth
less.

Food for YOUNG Pius.

Shorts and skim milk is the ideal
food for young pigs, Where milk is
not to be had, shorts moistened with
kitchen Stops is good. In a months
time mixture. of oats and ground
barley may be added. AS the pigs
grow older whole peas stepped for
twenty-four hours. may be fed. Roots
In winter and clover pasture in sum.
mer will in all cases reduce the cost
OF production. Weli-cured clover hay
may be given in small quantities in
winter, and will be relished and util-
lied to good advantage. Charcoal or
hardwood ashes and salt should be
within reach at all times. Prof. Henry
gives the result Of an experiment with
bone meal fed with corn. He found
that 20 per cent less grain was re.
quired to make 200 pounds of pork;
hardwood ashes and salt had nearly
the same effect. We learn from this
that by use Of this condiment the cost
is reduced by nearly one cent q pound.

Frederick or Frederic.

Some names are SO cosmopolitan
that it makes no difference how they
are spelled, but just let anybody ring
few unauthorized changes on the
name OF Frederick and the man who
owns it will have something to say
They will not be pleasant things to
listen to, either. AS Frederick was
christened, SO does he insist upon be.
ing spelled. II at the baptismal font
he was invested with the dignity of
a TX" he staggers under it's weight to
the end Of the chapter. The only per-
son on earth whose indignation can
equal Frederick's when somebody
leaves on the *" is Frederic when
somebody else puts it on. Family
ties have been several and irrepar-
able social eruptions have been
brought about by the unfortunate
omission or addition of that final let
ter. Too untutored ears Frederick
with or without the "k" sounds just
as musical, but to Frederick himself
that alphabetical error is worse than
a whole orchestra out of tune, and it
behooves the person who would keep
on the good side of him to learn his
preference in the matter.

Forests and tho water Supply.

d
y Many acres of burned land in the
San Gabriel and San Bernardino
mountains, southern California, have

This work has commanded the inter.

Forest and Water Association has
subscribed 1856, and the board of
trade % Pasadena 5000. to help in the

Farms In Cuba.

There were in 1899 60,711 farms in
Cuba, having an average size Of 143
acres and an average cultivated area
per farm Of thirteen acres. Only 10
per cent Of the farm area and only
3 per cent of the total area of the
island was under cultivation. Matan.
zas and Havana provinces are the
most highly cultivated parts of the
island. OF the cultivated area, less
than so per cent was owned by it's
occupants, the rest being rented, and
IS per cent was occupied by whites,
as owners or renters. only II per
cent by colored, the remainder being
unknown. Measured by the areas
under cultivation, sugar cane occu-
pied AZ per cent of the cultivated
