Feed Nux yomica to Your Cows.

Eighteen or twenty cows have
died in Colfax and vicinity with
in the last ten days from eating
too much green clover. DIR. M.
A. Dunn told the editor of the
Chronicle to feed Nux Vomica to
the cows, and we believe it to be
a supreme remedy, after trial.
Take as much Of the powder as
you can heap on a dime, mix
with about double the quantity of
powdered charcoal. and feed to
your cow every day in bran. cot
ton seed meal or chops. Or, the
Doctor says, it is best to divide
the dose each day and feed half
night and morning. We have
pursued the latter plan. You
can buy thirty or forty doses of
Nux Vomica for a dime, and
powder up your own charcoal, so
the cost is very small.
The use Of this drug with mich
cows does not spoil the milk. 1t
is neutralized in the excretions
of the animal, affects the milk so
little that it will injure no one to
use it.

The jury was out only about one hour

Folden was represented by Attorneys
J. A, Williams and F. R. Taylor, who
made determined and strong fight in
his defense, the presentation and argu-
ment of leading counsel being particu-
larry able, but their defense was tori
to atoms by the forceful logic and con-
vincing eloquence.of the district attor-
ney.

tried by commission consisting of
Drs. j. l.. Woodall and E. H. Black

teen or eighteen witnesses were ex-
amined touching the sanity of the ac-

Harper, with the murder of Phil He
bert, Jr., son of Phil Hebert, Sr. On

The Introduction of w. B. Harper
was matter of great concern to his
and to the community gener-
ally, and his Introduction meets general
as the most just and reason
able course to pursue, rather than put
him on trial for murder which was
the act of an insane man.
The minutes of Friday not being re-
corded as We go to press we leave the
over until next week. A
number of civil cases have been set
for trial, and all of next week will be
devoted to civil business.

Sunday, in the interest of the Anti
Saloon League, and took up handsome
collection of ss5. 90 in aid of the fight
for prohibition. At night Bro. Mercer
sounded his congregation on memorial
izing Mr.. 7. o. Hart, our Representa-
tive and asking his support on three
bills that are to be introduced in the
next legislature to enforce prohibition
in dry parishes, and it was carried with
out dissenting voice. We would re-
mind Mr.. Hart that the sentiment in
Grant parish is overwhelming in favor
of prohibition. In the last election in
Grant parish on this question the pro-
hibitionists carried the day by major
ity Of more than three to one, and there
is no doubt about public sentiment on
this subject
