1t is repoted that Sheriff jarvis and
posse, of Northampton, who went TO ar
restdepredators on some oyster grounds,
were captured by the oystermen at the
muzzle of Winchesters, and that they
now have the Sheriff and his deputies
corralled Robinson Crusoe like-on a
lone and desert island. -Accomac News.
Do oysters grow on trees?. Capt.
w. L. Ashburn of Irvington says that
they do and that he has taken them off
trees for several years. In one of the
coves Of Carriers Creek, on his place, a
tree was blown off the bank into the
creek and for several years the spawn
lodged in this tree and a fine lot of oys-
tiers were gathered

Justice E. w. Eiehelberger held a
lively session of his court at Heathsville
on Thursday afternoon of the past
week, Mr.. Lloyd Harrison having been
arraigned before him on the charge of
trespassing on the oyster grounds of
Captain A. J. Lewis in Coan river.
Justice Eichelberger imposed fine S25,
but later compromise was made and
the fine reduced to S. and costs, the de-
PENDANT agreeing to pay the sum Of S12
for the oysters taken from the said
bottom. Attorney Asa S. Rice APP
peared in behalf Of the defense. The
hearing consumed several hours. A
large number of Coan river oystermen
were present at the trial. On SATURDAY.
afternoon several Coan river oystermen
met Commonwealth Attorney c. S.
Towles at Heathville and held a con-
ference in Shirley's hotel 1t is under

was to consider the instituting of suit

river. No definite action, however, has
yet been taken. -Heathville Echo.

The Farm.
IMPORTANT POINTS OF A DAIRY
COW

The belly veins of a COW grow tortuous
and larger as she grows older. The
udder veins are seldom enlarged unless
the COW has been, or is, a heavy producer.
Place more Importance in the size of the
hole through which the vein enters the
abdomen than on the vein itself.
The vein through some causes may en-
large, but the milk will seldom change,
hence he size of the well Is Il good indi-
Gator of Il cows capacity for milk pro-
duction. External indications OF Il good
COW are the hair, skin, udder and es-
cutcheon. | lay great stress on the
latter in estimating the quantity of milk
and length of lactation.
If her udder is not developed, the COW
will be a failure. even though she may
have an ideal neck and body. The larger
the mammary gland, the greater the pro-
duct of that organ. An ideal udder is
one that forms part of circle.
1T is not necessary for large mixer
to have an enormous udder as the pro-
duction depends wholly on the number OF
secretive cells. 1t has heen my eXpe-
rience that cows not possessing a good
fore udder are noC profitable to keep
Many farmers make Il mistake in not
feeding COWS Il short time before GIVING
birth to their offspring. | do not mean
to force them, but ration of bran,
ground oats, linseed meal Told process) ,
and the like nourish both the cow and
the fetus.
The dairyman of to-day has set a fast
pace, and the COW, in order to keep touch
with his commands, must possess vigor
and vitality. The cow is hard worker.

able her to stow away sufficient food to

CARE OF THE BROOD SOW.

Much has been written on the care of
the brood SOW, but not enough to per-
suade every hog-raiser to take any spe-
cial care of the brood sow. 1t is often
cautioned not to allow the sow to get
fat. This is all right but it should not
be made an excuse for the neglect of the
sow. There is quite difference between
an overfat SOW and one in good condition.
AS rule, the brood sow is pretty badly
run down at the time the pigs are taken
off; she is rather thin in flesh, which is
all right, provided she is not left in that
condition until she is ready to farrow
another litrer of pigs. When the pigs
are taken off, if the SOW is to be bred
again soon she should be fed sparingly
for few days until the milk dries up,
then she should be put on a liberal
ration so that she is coming up rapidlE
at the breeding time. Then she should
have sufficient food to keep her improv-
ing until she farrows her pigs. Her food
should be rich in protein, so as to build
up her system. / like to have the SOW in
pretty good flesh when she farrows pigs.
If she is thin you'll find it an uphill bust
condition she has stored up mesh to help
keep her up during the season the pigs
are depending upon her for their food
| do not believe in having a SOW too fat,
but many of us err in an opposite direc-
ton when it comes to actual practice.
Then another thing that has much to do
in running down a herd of hogs on the
farm is TIE killing off of the old sows
and Keeping young ones. Some say that
the old sOws get breachy and learn many
bad tricks. This is often tho case, and
as a rule, it is the fault of the hog
rather than of the hogs. As a rule, hogs
will not learn to open gates if they are
well fed and the gate is kept shut. they
will not usually learn TO Kill chickens
if the chickens are not allowed to eat
with the hogs. Usually the bad tricks
that hogs learn are results of careless
ness.-A. q. Legg, ..lbioH, w. Va, in
