Judge Sanborn Of the United States

court verdict for the plaintiff in the
famous 1893 diamond case.' Henry

paid the express charges, he was en-
titled to them. The case has been in
the courts for several years.

WHY THE HORSE wHINNIED.

Adelaide was tired of shopping.
Stores are so large, and there are so
few places where girl can sit down
to rest. If mother had been shopping
in the toy department, it would have
been different; but sheets and pillow
cases are stupid, though necessary.
SO mother left Adelaide at fathers
office, while she went back to the shops
and sheets and pillow cases.
Father is an editor, and he sits at his
desk writing, writing, always writing.
When Adelaide was younger, she sup
posed he was doing his writing lesson
as she did twice a week; but now she
knows that he writes down all that
happens the world over, so that the
printers may know what to print in
the columns of the evening paper.
When one calls on father, one must
sit very quietly by the window looking
at pictures in papers and magazines or
cutting them out for paper dolls. One
must not interrupt father unless it is
absolutely necessary-like a cut finger
or pin that hurts-and one must
never, never fret, not even If it is n
quarter of an hour past luncheon time.
This morning Adelaide seated herself

desk shears and some lovely tissue
paper rescued from the waste-basket'
TO make a dress for a lady doll cut out
of a magazine. AS she sat there work
ing, she heard horse whinny in the
street below, Some whinnies mean,
"Please, master, I'm tired of waiting
here" Others are "How-dedo's' to
passing horse acquaintances. Adelaide
wondered what this one meant.
She colored the lady dolls eyes blue
and her cheeks red with fathers col
ored pencils. Then she heard the horse
talking again. The window was so
high and the sill so broad that she
could not see down to the street below.
She wished she knew what. the horse
wanted. All the time Adelaide was
making the lady dolls gown-blue with
a white yoke-that horse whinnied.
The dress was just finished-it was
lovely!-when father laid down his
work, got up from his chair, and asked:
"How about luncheon?'
The incest part of visiting father is
going out to luncheon with him. One
goes to a funny little restaurant where
instead of pictures on the wall are
framed signs reading, "Oysters,
"Chicken Salad" Coffee Rolls" and
names of other delicious dishes. One
sits at a little round table with father,
and orders either from these sign-pic-
lures or from the bill of fare, which is
fine print and harder to read.
So when father laid down his work,
got up from his chair and said, "What
about luncheon?' Adelaide quickly laid
down her work. slipped out of her
chair and replied. "Oh, yes"
They went down in the elevator and
through the large hail. AS they
reached the sidewalk. that same horse
whinnied again; and this time Adelaide
knew what he was talking about, for
she could see him. Just out from I'M

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Before lambing time tag locks should
be removed from the ewes udder so
that the little fellows will have no
trouble in finding what they want.
Bear in mind that it takes grit, pa
tience and considerable amount of
gumption to develop well-trained
horse from a nervous, high-strung colt.
Keep the steers comfortable if they
are to make rapid gains when on feed.
1t pays to keep on friendly terms with
stock being fattened for market.
Rye is an ideal hog feed. Especially
is this true when hogs are growing.
Best results are obtained by grinding
and then feeding in the form of slop.
Soaking the grain is a good way to
feed this grain.
One of our experiment stations has
found that on good alfalfa more than
1000 pounds of pork can be produced
each season from an acre: and at least
ohe-half of this should be credited to
the pasture.
The draft horse has been in demand
in our market for many years and will
continue to bring good prices when
other breeds are down in price. The
amateur hOrseman will do well to bear
this point in mind in starting in the
business of horse breeding.

THE HORN FLY.

One of the greatest pests that the
dairyman has to contend with at this
season is the little black or ''horn fly"
which accompany the herds in swarms,
worrying the cows and causing them
to materially fall in their flow of milk.
Now is the time when they need little
extra feed night and morning to keep
up the flow of milk and keep them in
their usual condition.
If you are not already feeding in the
stable, commence at once. and also
buy or prepare some wash to keep the
little insects away, both for the COM
fort of the COW and the support of the

LOOK OUT FOR FARM AGENTS.

LOOK OUT FOR FARM AGENTS.
The man who has farm to sell
seems particularly subject to the
schemes of semi-swindlers determined
to take every advantage short Of actual
law breaking. The idea is that. the
man who sells the farm is a customer
but once in any event, hence get all
you can out of him the first time.
One of these enterprising gentlemen
induces his customers to sign con.
tract about as follows: "Please try
to find a purchaser for my farm by ad.
vertising the same for so many months.
Upon fulfillment of your part of the
agreement, 1 agree to pay you a COM
mission Of fifty cents per acre, and
allow you whatever sum in addition
thereto the purchaser may agree to
pay" The catch in the agreement is
that the commission is promised for the
attempt to sell the farm whether it is
sold or not. The agent uses more or
less space in advertising in cheap local
papers, and sends in big bill to the
farmer.
Certain New England agents have
been known to operate schemes of this
kind, presenting contract which IT
seems no farmer in his senses would
agree to sign. The farmer should see
that the agreement contains the clause,
mo payment to be made unless the
farm is sold through the agents eff
forts There are plenty of reputable
agents who will take farms on this
condition. Otherwise, the farmer Is
likely to find that heavy bills will be
| presented for which no fair service
has been offered. The agent charges
| large commission and should be will
| ing to take the risk with the regard to
advertising and other expenses which
he may incur trying to sell the prop
erty.-Massachusetts Ploughman.
