A Succession of Damages.

Il remember" says Farmer Grind
stone, what an orful time two of my
neighbors onct had when l lived down
in Kansas. They used to spend every
Twin thing they could scrape together
a-lawin' of it over line fences. GilPs
COWS would break through Jones
fence and destroy his corn, and Jones
would set his dog onto 'em and main
one or two, and Gills boy would shoot
the dog, and Jones would lick the boy.
Then Gill would sue Jones for not
keeping up his fence, and Jones would
turn round and sue Gill for the dam
aged corn. and Gill would sue Jones
for the damaged cattle, and Jones
WOULD sue GIL for the damaged dog.
and Gill would sue Jones for the dam
aged boy; and the outcome of the
whole performance would be that Gill
would have left i damaged COW and
a damaged boy and Jones would have
damaged fence and some damaged
corn and a damaged dog, and after
both havin' used a good deal of dam
aged language they would find their
bank accounts badly damaged and the
lawyers would get the benefit of the
harvest.-Field and Farm.

TurnipS and carrots make excellent
winter food. For cattle they should
be sliced with q root slicer, which does
the work very rapidly. Even poultry
can consume such foods when the ma
terials are sliced. The way 20 prepare
sliced roots is to sprinkle eornmeal
and bran over the mess and give It 10
the cattle or fowls at least once a day.
The advantages are that such foods
are succulent, easily digested and they
