the prisoner refused his acquiescence,

turned to address the Jury.
He told them of bis client' early life;
the lack of good Influences, the hard
paths for childish feet, the tempta

fight for mere existence against fate
aud fortune, with no one to Jend a

word; of the frowning face of virtue
and the tempting one of vice; of aspira

good Intentions trodden under foot, and

As the Judge was atxut (o reply a
slight commotion attracted his atten

to their bx. atxl the foreman arose and,
faecd the court.
A hush fell npon the nxitn aa the
clerk called the roll; then, in a voice
that shxk a little, he said:
"Hae the Jury agreed upon their j
verdict V
"We have," replied the foreman alm
lly. "How do they flmi '!"
"Guilty, as charged In the Indict

A sound that might have lxen a sigh
ran through the listeners. The Judge
aroe aud faced the prisoner. In the
silence that reigned the voice of a dis
tant wind, roaring afar off. fell upon
the waiting ears, and the last gleam of
sunlight faded from the wall. .
Solemnly the District Attorney moved
that sentence now ! passed upon the
prisoner.
"Hrowuell. stand up. Have you any
thing to say why the sentence of this
court should not be passed uxjii you ?"
The prisoner had noted the return of
the Jury and listened to their verdict as
one In a dream, as a man stunned by a
thundertxilt watches the destruction of
his home wrought by the same messen
ger from heaven, dazed aud unnerved.
As the sound of the Judge's voice beat
U(x.u his dull ears he turned his head
slow ly uud looked at him wonderiugly.
"Have you anything to say?"
The man gathered his feet Ix-ueath
him, and, with an effort, arose. For a
long uiomebt he gazed about him, at
the Jury in the box. the Judge on the
Ix'ueh, and the dense anil waiting
crowd Ix'hlud him. Then an ugly
smile spread across his face and a
fierce light burned In bis heavy eyes.
"llev 1 anything ter say? Yas! I

( nttlng Cora Stalk.
The season for cutting corn stalk Is
at band for the large cla of farmers
who do not put them In alios. Almost
every farmer w-bo feed corn stalks to
cow ha them cut It Is not always
safe to fed horses the cut stalks, as
their digestive apparatus 1 different.
The hard, wisxly stalks, cut In small
pieces, may Injure a horse' Intestines
before the gastric Juices have time to
soften them. The feed when eaten by
the cow goes more lu a mass and Is
brought up and rechewed In her cud.
For Uil reason cut cum stalk ought
not to be fed to horse unless first wet
with warm water to soften them, then
the hard portion of them will le left
uneaten. A horse will not eat much
more of the corn stalk after It I cut
than It will before. If cheap, bulky
fisxl Is to be used lo mix with the grain
for horses It hud better In- cut straw or
hay than cut com stajk. But the corn
stalks for cow ought alwsy to be cut
before feeding. If they are wet with
hot water or steamed and mixed with
grain meal scarcely anything w!il !
rejected. A little .clover hay per day
with this will make a complete ration
for cows. American Cultivator.
KuftUm of Crop i Tostoat,
To determine the exact effect of ci
tation, a aeries of experiment have
been conducted by the ludiana station.
Of the plots upon wblch grain crop are
grown continuously a portion are de
voted exclusively to wheat, while upon
others wheat la grown In alternatlou
with corn and oat. la the plots da-
grown In rotation the average yield for I
the seven year waa 21 !1 bushels er !

The difference in favor of rotation for '
the perlix! of seven year averaged 5.72
bushiis per acre, and lu lv.M It
amounted to !.!! bushels per acre.
Thus It Is shown that wheat produced
over a third more when growu in ntv

It Is a good plan to spread mannre

The Hev. W. H. H. Murray, who nn

to trimming a horse foot that every
horseman lu the world should cut icit
aud paste In his hat "Never," he says,
"allow the knife to touch the sole of
your horse's foot, nor the least bit of It
to be pared a w ay . because nature needs
the full bulk of It and has amply pro
vided for Its removal at the proper
time. Secondly, never allow a knife to
be put to the frog, because nature
never provides too much of It to an

designed It and the larger It Is the
more swiftly, easily and safely will
your horse go."
