The Mired Cow.

In the spring of the year, especially
where creeks run through farms, cattle
often get mired in the cold mud. If
left for time they refuse to get up
as their limbs are numb, and they
eventually die. Sometimes cattle lie
on the frozen ground or ice with the
same result.
Using a derrick is unhandy and I'M
satisfactory, as the animal must be
placed on its feet gradually and
when it is in the notion. An
Iowa breeder says the best method
one can use is to dig two holes, one
for the fore legs and the other for the
hind legs. Make the holes according
to the size of the animal, so it can
stand if it wishes to. Place the ami
NAL in the holes and let it be, feeding
it and taking care of it. When it gets
ready it will get out of the hole with
out help. 1t may be a week and it
may perhaps be a month, but pa
thence will save the lives of many ami
mails which otherwise would be lost.

| hoofs become Overgrown. The out
side shell turns under the sole of the
foot unless they are properly trimmed
back into shape. Where the outside
shell is allowed to turn under in this
manner it forms a pocket in which
dirt, small stones and vegetable mat
ter collect. These soon cause irrita-
ton and soreness, and in case this
soreness is not promptly attended to it
is very liable to develop into true foot
rot, q germ disease and very conta-
giouS.
Situated within the cleft of the
hoof, between the toes, will be found
large gland. This is an oil duct, not
worm hole" as many call it. Its
use is to lubricate the hoof and pre-
vent its becoming dry and brittle.
Should this duct become clogged in
fammation will set in, and in such a
case the shepherd should gently press
out the obstruction and apply a trifle
of sweet oil to renew the secretion.
Pasturing the flock on swamp land
or in seasons of excessive rain while
on even high pasture will often cause
foot scald or soreness. Keep a watch
full eye for all these slight ailments,
and in case you see a sheep limping
about or crawling around on its knees
get busy and remedy the trife. 1t will
take but very little effort and time to
keep your flock on sound foundations.
and by so doing you will ward off
greater complications. A good remedy
for any form of sore foot in sheep is
composed as follows:
Coal tar dip Qull strength, one ounce;
pure pine tar, one ounce; flowers Of
sulphur, one ounce; castor oil raw.
one ounce. Thoroughly mix and ap-
ply with a feather or soft brush. This
is both antiseptic and healing, and
two or three applications should eff
feet cure. The patients should be
kept upon dry footing while being
treated. Provided these rules are
carefully observed it is not necessary
for foot rot to break out in any flock

A sheep with defective feet absolute

They are unable to exercise and also
unable to rustic after living in this
world of strife. 1t is very easy mat
ter to keep the sleeps feet in perfect
condition by a little attention from the
shepherd at the proper time, yet it is
very difficult to cure the disease after
too long neglected. Every shepherd
should own a good set of toe clippers
or sharp nippers and use them when
needed, writes a sheepman in the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
The original wild sheep, almost with
out exception, occupied mountainous
districts for their abode, and nature
provided them with fast growing hoofs
to resist the wear and tear of rock
climbing. Since they have been do
mesticated we are keeping them on
soft turf pastures, and therefore the

IT will not be the fault of the press
of North Carolina if there is q repeti-
tiOn of the Biggers murder case i'll
this State. The newspapers are
sounding the danger signal and pro-
testing with all the power and logic
they can command against such a
farcical failure of law and Justice i'll
dealing with man-slayers of the Big
gers type. But it is not the murder
ers who are to blame for escaping
punishment. Let's place the respon-
sibility where it belongs, with law
yers and sentimental. incompetent
Jurors. There's where the trouble lies
and until this is corrected the ends of
Justice will continue To be defeated
and the penalty of crime evaded.
A WRITER in the Charlotte Observer
last week criticised the jury in the
Biggers murder trial, employing
some rather plain language. One of
the jurors came back at him through
the columns OF the same paper half
opolgizing for ''unduly dignifying the
communication in question by an
imndverting to it., but its ',unpar-
donable impertinence prompted a re-
ply" If this juror could read all that
has been said in criticism of that
verdict he would realize that more
than one individual mas been guilty
Of "unpardOnable impertinence," or
whatever he is pleased to term it.
The action of the jury in this case is
indefensible as the press and public
appears to view it and the less those
responsible for it have to say about
it the better.

NEW STYLE RANGE.

Improved Cooking Apparatus Which
Promises snuch-DoubIeO Oven Range
an Innovation In the Cooking Line
Demonstration Given In Char.
Iotte.
| An improvement in the art OF cooking
is always OF the greatest interest to
housekeepers. Mr.. VIM. T. Lewis is ex-
hibiting at No. 3 West Fourth street q
new style range for which he claims
many advantages. The fire box is very
small because he claims that less than
half the usual fuel is required to do q
fixed amount OF cooking. His ranges
are made for one or two ovens. The
range he is exhibiting is double oven
range. Usually the products OF combus-
tion or heat passes over the top of the
oven, thence around it, and to a smoke
fue on one side. In the case of this new
range, the products of heat from the fire
box may be first divided to pass two
different ways. half around each oven,
then again they may be separately parted
so as to pass any proportion OF the heat
over the top of the oven or any pro.
portion down the side and under the
bottom. This is accomplished by a
peculiar sliding damper, which parts the
heat to go the two separate ways. The
ovens being completely enveloped in the
heat and the proportion passing over
the top and under the bottom, being
under absolute control, give the oven a
perfectly even temperature throughout.
Biscuits may be completely cooked in
this oven when suspended in pan on
grid and without touching the oven at
all at any place. The ends of the range
| hox opsu mt
the least heat With only one or two
| the fire box, comparatively thin biscuits
may be baked completely done in from
| to 5 minutes. The results would seem
| to be excellent as to the quality OF the
| food cooked. The even temperature OF
| the ovens makes a great advantage in
roasting meats. All Of what is here
| said is either quoted from Mr.. Lewis or
| the result of observation OF the range
in it's work of demonstration. If Mr..
Lewis claims prove true, this range is
an important advance over others, in
| economy of fuel, in time of cooking and
in excellence of results.
The above which is taken from
the Charlotte Chronicle, interests us.
Our contemporary does not throw
quite enough light of the subject,
however. 1t does not state whether
this new range is the invention of
Mr.. Lewis and is being tried out for
the first time, or if it has been on the
market long enough for the claims
made for it to be fully demonstrated.
By whom made and the name by
which it is known, the public may be
desirOus of knowing.

The North Carolina Way.
News and Observer.

In the presence of the race prejudice
in the North that causes a mob to
wish to kill all the negroes in a COM
munity because one has committed a
crime, and the prejudice in the South
that sometimes works an injury to
the weaker race, it is pleasant to re-
feet that in North Carolina, in most
places, there is friendship and good
feeling between the races. Let it be
perpetuated.
The Chatham Record prints this
week the death of a colored man in
PittsbOro and the esteem in which he
was held that shows the existence OF
a spirit that is to be found in nearly
every community in the South. The
Record says:
"a colored man, named King Station,
died here last Saturday whose death de-
serves more than a passing notice. He
had been employed on the Pittsboro rail
road ever since it's construction, in 1886,
at first as a section hand and then for
over twenty years as brakeman and
fireman. He was always in good hu-
NOR and polite, and was most faithful in
the discharge of his duties, ready and
prompt in doing whatever he was told
to do.
"That his faithful discharge of his
duties was duly appreciated we will
mention that Capt. James F. Alston, who
has been the conductor of our train Tor
over twenty years, thought so highly OF
him that, at his personal expense, he
had him properly cared for during his
long sickness and bought a nice coffin
for his burial. This was most creditable
to Captain Aston and also to his faith
ful employe.
"An who have been travelling on the
Pittsboro railroad will miss the hearty
laughter and smiling face of this humble
black man, who did well his duty in that
state of life in which it had pleased God
to call him.
There would never be any race
trouble if all the negroes we're like
King Station and all the white men
were like Captain Alston. This incl
dent should be instructive to those
