Percival w. Clement has been
sued by the attorneys of Senator Red
field Proctor and E. r. Morse for
mismanaging the business of the
Rutland Herald. 1t appears from
the news story that Mr.. Clement holds
about 81 per cent of the Herald stock
and has never made an accounting
to the minority stockholders. The
Herald seems unfortunate in its
knack of getting involved in annoy
ing and costly litigation. What the
merits of the case are will only be
determined in court. The Journal
simply regards it unfortunate as a
business proposition that the Herald,
which today is nearer to being a
recommending property than it
ever has been before, should be in
volved in this sort of thing at pres

Napoleon III. of France, when a
prisoner in the fortress at Ham,
wrote and published paper on the
possibility of linking the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans by means of canal.
This created so profound an i'm.
preston that the minister plenipo-
tentiary of Guatemala offered him
the presidency of the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. The pro-
posal was followed by the offer Of
the presidency of the Ecuador re-
public. The latter offer was condi-
tional upon King Louis Philippe's
releasing the captive and upon the
latter's giving his parole never to
return to Europe. Louis Napoleon
was prepared to give his parole, and
Sir Robert Peel, then prime minis
ter of Great Britain, was willing to
back up his application for release
upon these terms. Lord Aberdeen,
however, would not hear of it, SO the
prisoner remained to be president
and emperor of his native land,

Q
Salt For Dairy Cows.

Extensive tests and Investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tons to determine the advisability OF
adding salt to the ration Of dairy COWS.
AS a result OF these trials, 1t Is recon-
pended that dairy COWS be given at
least n ounce Of salt per day. Ex-
c~eptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed in
these trials indicate that salt in addi-
lion to that obtained IN their food Is
absolutely essential to the continued
health OF a dairy cow while producing
milk. 1t is evident, moreover, that the
amount of salt which must be supplied
directly will greatly vary in different
localities. 1t being more at high eleva-
lions and at places remote from the
sea.

To Keen the Horse HeaI+hv

An mthrifty condition of a horse is
frequently due to sharp edges Oh the
grinding teeth. Which prevent mastica-
ton of the food. Have these filed off.
Imperfect chewing may be partly a
habit. and the horse must be specially
cared for to overcome it. Nail a four
inch strip at the top of the manager so
that he can not throw out his hay.
and sprinkle the grain through it so
that he will be compelled to eat the
grain slowly. Feed whole grain sepa-
rately from ground feed. Sometimes
no other treatment than the foregoing
is needed to restore a horse to good
condition. The addition Of a pint of
oilmeal to the ration is a help.-Farm

Manure Trenche..


More mistakes are made in the con-
.struction of manure trenches than in
any other simple feature connected
with COW stalls. If less than eight
inches deep, COW will stand with
their hind feet in them and will step
into them In passing in and out. If
eight to ten inches deep, cows soon
learn to step over them, and very few
COWS will stand with their hind feet
In them. The trench should be wide
enough to admit a scoop shovel, and
this means fifteen to eighteen inches
wide. Trenches of this size will hold
two days accumulations, which in
case of storms is a great convenience.

siIase For Beef Cattle.

Feeders of beef cattle have always
had a prejudice against silage. Re-
cent experiments have shown that
steers will make an excellent growth
il fed some rich feed along with corr
silage and will gain quite as fast as
when on good pasture. The dairy type
steer is not so profitable for beef, as
he shows a low dressing percentage
and a high percentage OF offal. Fat on
the internal organs increases the
weight Of the cheaper parts. The beef
steer puts on fat on the higher priced
cuts.

Dairy Cows Economic. E..d.

When it is considered that the same
foodstuffs fed to cows produces very
much more nutriment in the shape Of
milk than when fed for beef it is seen
why the dairy industry is SO important.
AS stated in the work on feeding by
Professor II. r. Smith Of the Nebraska
station, "G4 per cent or more energy is
expended by the steer in celebrating
food in the form OF meat than Is ex-
pended by the cow In celebrating the
same quantity in the form Of milk"
OF course 1t must be understood that
the kind OF COW to do this must be Of
the dairy type.

Water For The cbick..

Many young chicks die because they
get wet when drinking. which chills
them and causes them to droop and
lose appetite. Always have fountains
for chicks that permit them to insert
their beaks only into the water. Plac-
ing the water before them in saucers,
into which they tread and get wet I'M

Milk Fever Prevention.

Experiments in the feeding Of car
rots. beets and small potatoes to COWS
show that milk fever is less liable to
occur when COWS are fed literally on
root crops than when they are con-
fined to hay and grain. No corr should
be given six weeks before calving.
Linseed meal may be allowed with the
hay. which should be cut fine and the
linseed meal sprinkled over It.
