We sincerely hope the action OF Judge
Bscheller and Sheriff Lang in the futile
case will not be overruled by Judge
Emery In the hearing at Bangor, to day.
The respondent in the case doubly de-
serves the thirty days durarce he has
entered upon, both for violation of law
and for breaking bis positive promise,
made In court. He further richly
deserves the sixty days sentence, the
serving of which he has not entered
upon. To relieve him from custody now
might be In the direction Of observance
Of technical forms of court procedure,
but 1t would be diversion of real justice
and would retsrd enforcement.

Harry's horse resents

When the cases were all deposited
in the great room Mistress Mary held
a short conference apart with Captain
Calvin Tabor, and ! saw some gold
pass from her hand to his. Then she
thanked him and the sailors for their
trouble very prettily in that way she
had which would have made every
one as willing to die for her as to car
ry heavy weights. Then we all filed

locked the door and bade goOdby To
Captain Tabor; then he and his men
took again the bride path back to the
ship, and she and proceeded church

Then she collapsed all at once, as

Feeding Cattle in the Fall.

Much has been said and written on
the subject of cattle feeding, and the
experiment stations have done much to
help us in fixing rations. Each cattle
feeder, however claims to be the best.
am one of those who by reading and
studying the subject and by actual feed
ing have decided that for the average
practical farmer it is better to feed in
the fall, writes E. j. Waterstripe in
Farm and Fireside. / aim to make a
short and quick feed every fall, and bet
ter returns than from longer feed.
A plan that | have always found
profitable is to keep the cattle on good
grass during the summer, and as soon
as roasting ears can be procured to be-
gin to feed green corn, feeding the
whole stalk. Keep the cattle on grass
through the whole feed, as long as
there is any grass. When the corn gets
dry, break the ears off and feed in
troughs.
| begin about August lst, and aim
to feed until about Thanksgiving, which
gives me short quick feed, and general
ly good profit. There is more profit
in feeding while on grass, as much
cheaper gains can be made. Sometimes
the cattle market may be a little better
later, but it costs more to gain one hun
dred pounds in winter, and this should
be taken into consideration. The ex-
pertinent stations are trying different
feeds to combine with corn to balance
the ration, but the farmer has, at least
part of the year, nothing but grass.
The best feed to combine with corn in
winter is something like clover or cow
pea hay, but for cheapest gains feed
while on grass.
Young cattle make the cheapest gains,
the best meat and bring the best prices.
We don't want three-year-Old cattle, but
keep growing from young calf until
the market time. This plan gives a
quick and good market for the corn
crop, and the best way to market cattle
that know of. You can get more out
of corn by feeding in the green state. 80
begin then, and get the most out OF it.
In order to make 500 land pay profit
ably we must try to grow the most, and
then feed it to the best advantage.
Study the work and keep your eyes on
the daily market. Intelligent feeding is
successful feeding.

In my reading the other day l ran
across an old Latin proverb which trans

easier for an ass to deny statement
than for a philosopher to prove it."
This is something that is worth remeni-
bering. The man who merely says, at
isn't So" who goes about denying what
some one else has asserted, may not be
an able or a wise man. The man who
says something, who does something, is
the man after all who is doing the most
good even if with human fallibility he
occasionally makes mistakes. The man
who never goes any furthefthan gen.
