l a,uuer Paws for Bad Advice.

Consul-General Gueunther says in a
report that German lawyers are liable
in damages to their clients for evil
results consequent upon misleading
advice. The Supreme Court OF Ger
many has recently rendered a decis-
ion that an attorney is liable to his
client to the full extent fer care-essly
giving incorrect advice.
The court held that the attorney
who for pay gives his client in legal
matters advice as to certain conduct
and procedure is liable for the legal
consequences suffered by the client IN
acting thereon, provided that such ad
vice is not only faulty, but has been
proved to have been given carelessly
An attorney tacitly assumes the po
sition of debtor of the client, which
obliges him to be careful in giving
advice. and he is therefore liable for
its consequences if he has fate!

Feeding Corn Fodder.

In the States where the corn crop is
large much of it goes to needless
waste. which with little care might
be made to add to the farm profits.
The wasteful plan of throwing 1t in
great stacks to the animals, leaving
them to eat what they will and tram
pie the rest under foot, cannot be prof
liable. no matter how large the corn
crop one has at command. To get the
most from the corn fodder, if it is not
in the form of silage, it should be cut
or shredded, preferably the latter. OF
course, in some sections perhaps this
may not be done with profit, but 1t
may be cut even in the old-faShiOned
cutter and pay for the labor The time
to feed the corn fodder to best adj
vantage is early in the season, and
simply because after midwinter it has
lost much of it's feeding value and the
cows fail to do we'll on it and tire Of
the sameneSs. The other materials
used for roughage can be saved until
later in the winter and in the spring.
The corn fodder may be made more
appetizing by feeding small ration Of
root crops, although the bulk of the
roots should be saved for later feeding
when the cows become more anxious
for green food.

Feeding Dry Cows.

Each year adds to my belief that
many COW troubles at time Of parturi
ton could be avoided if they were
properly fed, says II. e. Cook in Ma
tional Stockman. There seems to be a
general satisfactory feeling that if the
COW gives no milk, any feed will do.
If there is any time Of year when
properly adjusted feed is necessary, it.

they begin making bag" What is the
result? Why, the drain upon the sys-

the feed could supply, and the owner
tried to reverse the lever so quickly
and catch up in two weeks what should
have occupied six that a feverish con-
dition is produced, and then any and
all things hard to manage are likely
to happen. If these cows had been fed
without stopping, not as much, of

bran or mill feed or oats daily, there
would have been muscle and nerve

Mu1ching the Orchard.

The use Of the grass or weeds grown
in the orchard for mulching the trees
is, along the line of the sod in the or
chard idea, and it's use for the benefit
of the trees, and especially the young
trees, Is to be recommended during
the summer, but decidedly not during
the winter when there is snow on the
ground, for it would be but winter
shelter for the mice, who would i'm
prove the opportunity to gnaw the ten
der bark of the trees. We make it our
business to go over the young or
chards in the late fall and hoe away
from around each tree for a distance
of three feet or more all of the Vege-
table growth Of any nature. Just be-
fore the ground freezes the soil about
each tree is packed down hard, and
after the first heavy fall of snow, at
a season when it is assumed that win
ter has fairly set in we pack this
snow down firmly. In most years it
freezes and forms protection to the
tree from vermin, yet does the tree no
harm.

Ensi1age Good for Feeding.

Prof. Whitcomb says: The health
fulness of silage for sheep is a mat
ter regarding which opinions differ,
so a test was undertaken at the Ore
gon station with a flock of twenty
five breeding ewes and ram. They
were fed with all the steamed yetch
and clover silage they would eat with
about 3 pound of oats per head per
day in addition. During the forty
eight days of the test the sheep gained
122 pounds, consuming 6.5S pounds OF
silage and .4S pound of oats per pound
of gain. With the exception of one an
imal, the flock was apparently in the
best of health at the close of the exper-

Lime Necessary for Alfalfa.

1t is safe to say that alfalfa cannot
be grown successfully unless the soil
is we'll lined. There are many fields
to-day that are yellow and sickly sole
ly for the want of lime, and this is
the only bar to success where par
tial growth has been successful. There
is the usual idea concerning alfalfa
that obtains with almost all plants
that can be easily grown, that is that
Ito use the slang Of the day. "any old
soil will do" Alfalfa is too valuable
a crop to lose sight of, and 1t is worth
all the time it will take to study its
habits and for experimenting. To be-

and to be certain of that-use the litmus

at the rate of one or more tons an

A MUD VOLCANO.
Extraordinary Scene on Tropical
Island.

Island.
Some time ago the natives of Brit
ish North Borneo reported that a
huge marine monster kind Of oc-
topus-had made its place of recrea-
ton on the Island of Lib.nan, which
lies some twenty miles north of Sand
akan town The monster was minute
ly described as to size, appearance,
and habits, and was said to burrow
deeply into the heart of the island
and throw mud and water. 1t had
also made track from the sea to his
hole.
Remembering the occurrence of a
mud eruption on the island some
years ago. the governor of the colony
formed his own opinion regarding the
existence Of the supposed monster,
and when an opportunity occurred
made an examination OF the island. 1t
appeared from his Investigations that
the track" made by the marine phe-
nomenon was a river Of hardened
mud, sun-dried and cracked till 1T
bore the appearance Of a glacier OF
gray mud, complete with its crevasses
and bou1ders, lacking only the mo-
raines and the exhilarating glacier air
to make the resemblance complete.
At it's lower end, where it debouched
into the sea, a coed quarter OF milo
from it's source, the mud-river was
perhaps $50 feet broad, narrowing to
"a j+c
100 feet above sea level-where it
emerged from the crater, it appeared
to have cut through the solid soil,
which stood up on each side. a good
eight or ten feet above the surface OF
the mud, which was freely strewn
with small blocks of gray sandstone.
The edges Of these blocks were, in
many cases, as sharp as those or
newly-broken road metal.
The crater itself, a depression
about thirty to forty feet in diane
ter, was covered with crust OF mud
tust strong enough to bear the
weight of man, but giving slightly
as one walked over it, thus indicating
that 1t was merely a crust. In the
very center was a small pool OF liquid
mud, into which a long stick was
thrust without finding bottom.
Around the crater rose the walls OF
mud, ten to fifteen feet high, with
large blocks of sandstone and rocks
bearing streaks of quartz perched IN
such positions as proved that they
must have been hurled into the air
by the force of the eruption, and
dropped into their present positions.
The island gave evidence of at least
two eruptions, the latter of very re-
cent occurrence, having spread layer
Of lighter colored mud over part or
the older stream. The latter outburst
must, however, have been of com
paratively mild nature, for the upper
layer appears to be not more than
foot thick, and does not reach more
than half way down the hill, Whlle
the older mud stands at the shore,
where the sea has eaten into it, a wall
some six feet high.-North Borneo

An Indiana hen stole her nest in an

fowl that strolled by the nest laid an
egg in it. When the old hen marched
proudly up to the farmhouse with her

reasonably proud of the variety she
had achieved.
In some sections it is the custom to
wrap tender vines and shrubs in straw
There is no decided objection to this
if the top is left open so that circu-

and if one is sure no mice will get in
near the bottom to gnaw the tender
shoots The plan of laying over the
partially tender vine and covering it
with soil is also adopted in some sec
lions, but vine so tender as to re-
qure this treatment ought not to be
planted.
The Danish authority on tuberculo-
sis. Prof Bang, lately expressed the
opinion to a company of visiting Eng
fish farmers that the tuberculin test,
while not infallible was trustworthy
in over ninety per cent of the cases
tested. The main point in his system
of preventing the spread of the dis
ease was complete separation of all
infected animals, as shown by the test,
and the separation of the calves in
day or two if from infected cows and
feeding these calves on pasteurized
milk. In this way the disease could
be weeded out in the second genera
ton. He insisted that there was no
need of destroying the meat of tuber-
cuIous animals, as there was no risk
after cooking.
