" . A defendant in an action not legally served with process , but against whom a Judgment by default has been entered , may appear specially and pray the court to set aside sucli Judgment of default , und upon such default being opened enter u plea in abatement to the Jurisdiction of the court without being held to have mudo a general appcarunco in tno action.

Afterwards A and B sold the horse to U for its full value and applied the proceeds of the sale to the partial payment of A's debt to B. Upon the horse being deliv ered to D under his purchase , C assorted his mortgage and took possession of the property for tliu puriwio of foreclosure , when B re- plovined it. It was held that the sale of the liorso to D by A and B being mndo in good faith and for full value , effectively foreclosed the title of A as well as thntof C , and that as agaitiht A and C , B was entitled to ttio prop erty. Johnson vs. Panotto. Error from Buffalo county , reversed nnd judgment entered on verdict for $ ' . )31.50. ) Opinion by Kccsc , Ch. J. I. Petition examined and held to consti tute a cause of action. L' . The decision of the district court In sus taining a motion for anew trial after a cause has been tried to a jury and verdict rendered , is not a subject of review , until after a ilnal Judgment is rendered in a case , ( Artmnn vs. West Point Manufacturing company , 111 Nob. 572) ) ; but wheio after verdict , nnd pending ruling of the court upon a motion for a new trial , it is stipulated that the ruling of the court thereon may beiovicwcd by the supreme premo court wltout reference to a subse quent trial , and that in case u now trial is refused upon review by the supreme - promo court the decision of the dis trict courtis afllrmcd , tlio cause shall bo dis missed , or in case a new trial is grunted and Ux | > n review tlio order should bo sot usido and a Judgement absolute rendered in the supreme premo court for tbo amount of the verdict , the supreme court will bo governed by the stipulation , review tlio case and render such Judgment as the district court should have rendered. II. In such cases the recognized rule that in deciding the motion for a now trial the ruling of the district court will not bo molested , un less there i * an abuse of discretion , docs not appli with its usual force , nnd the supreme court will CMimino the case in the cxcrciso of the Jurisdiction conferred by the stipula tion without icfercnco to such rule. 4. The rule that u trial Jury must bo- the solo Judge of questions of fact , whore the tes timony is contradictory , adhered to. .Stoll vs Gregg. Eiror from ( lugo county. Afllrmed , Opinion by Hccso , Ch. J. In un action in the natmo of a creditor's bill , wherein it is alleged by plaintiffs that they hud i ecovorcd a judgment against one of the defendants , which judgment nt the commencement of the action amounted to something over f200 , and that prior thereto the Judgment debtor had fraudulently trans ferred all Ills piopcrty , consisting of real estuto and ] > ersonnl pro | > erty , to his wife , for the puiiujso of evading tlio collection of the Judgment , mid where in such action the finding of the district couit was in favor of the defendant In the action , so fur ns the real estate was involved , but in favor of the plaintiff with reference to the personal property , the finding being gen eral. that the grantee , tbo wife of the grantor , held personal property of the grantor under a transfer from him subject to the payment of plaintiff's Judgment nnd suftlcient to pay the same , without specifying the nature of the property so held , without liable to exe cution process or not , nnd no motion for a new trial having been filed , it was hold on error to the supreme court , that there was no presumption , that the property was of such a nuturo as could bo levied upon by ex ecution , nnd therefore the llndlng nnd dccrco that the giant eo of the property bo required to pay tlio debt out of the property so hold by her , could uot be molested.

To the Editor of the HIK : : To one who lias not investigated the matter , the practice of dehorning cattle bccms cruel , but after feoelng the value nnd good arising there from the thought of cruelty vanishes , nnd one feels as though he hud done that to which the animals themselves give sanction. The benefits derived from dehorning arc nujiuetous nnd among the many farmers that have caused the horns to go 1 have as yet to find one that docs not endorbo it heartily. Now , for instance , farmers who have a limited amount ofstable room can. by the los of horns , cause two or three to be sheltered whore but ono received the benefit before. Of the 275 that I have dehorned I have not seen any ill effects arise from the operation. Some have been cows whose time io calve was from ten days to throe months. I have had all gnfdc.i from u To.xas steer down to a two-months calf. My llrst attempt was during Christnms week in 18SO. I was at that time milk ing twenty head of cows. It was very cold , and I expected to boo homo loss of milk , but could not detect anything of the kind. I predict that inside of ten years the larger proportion of the stock of the United States will bo dehorned. It is making wonderful strides in Illi nois and Iowa , also in Missouri. And in the matter of shipping , what an im provement it is ? Any one who has shipped cattle knows if a head of stock once gets down in cars , the horns are what will keep them thorp more than anything else , by getting tangled among the limbs of the other animals in endeavoring to got up. F. B. II. The Perfect Cow. John Gould in Rural New Yorker : That the perfect cow has been cliscov- cied is very doubtful , for it would imply a goncral-purpofe cow , and nil the qual ities ct-sontial to the requirements of animal husbandry cannot bo wrapped up in ono hide. The dairy and the beef qualities are so essentially different , and the results of such totally dillorent functions , that the perfect cow , consid ered as a dairy animal , must always bo classed as a "typo" distinct in purpose from the beef-producing stock. No single breed has given as uniformly ex cellent cows of high performance , but in all dairy breeds there is a typo of form and performance , which , if recog nized and singled out and perpetuated by heredity , may result in something like a perfect dairy cow. When wo find this typo , it may bo perpetuated , if in breeding wo recognize tlio fact that the sire must bo given equal credit not only in transmitting essential Qualities , but in confirming the typo as well , and I do not hold to the assumption that merit can bo found only in purity of the exist ing breeds. That the grade innv be a good dairy cow is established ; and if wo breed from dairy types and they are based on performance , the observing , painstaking farmer may raise his own cows. The dairy cow's mission will be to produce butter and cheese , und hence she will not bo a largo animal as meas ured by the beef standard. The giving of milk makes the dairy cow a creature of beneficence , returning to her owner , in milk and cheese and manure , with nothing hold back but actual bodily support , all the food combined ; while tlio hoof cow. with fixed habits by brooding , is a "miser , " storing1 away as largely as possible the better elements of her food for fat , flesh and bono form ing , and only yielding it up on the block ; so that milk und beef qualities must contend for mastery if bound up in one animal , and the result must be dis- unpointing. That the beef clement is antagonistic to the milking habit is a noticeable peculiarity. The truly beef cow is u small and brief milker , often failing to give support to her calf , and the ultimatum is reached when the beef typo actually undermines the function of motherhood , and promises the oblit eration of a beefy family ; while mother hood ill its broadest and most complete sense , is the predominant trait of the dairy cow. So I think milk and beef will never bo combined , with favorable results. . Whether the "perfect cow" will bo recognized as a butter cow , or an ani mal for milk I think admits of no dis tinction. Milk is valuable only for the solids it contains in fats , checso and sugar , and the cow that produces butter has no power , ( nor can it bo bred into her ) to furnish milk in which the fats largely predominate over the cheese clement , or vice versa. No analysis covering any considerable horiodb of time or of the milk of any dairy breed fed upon the rations generally furnished dairy cattle at largo , have over showed that the ratio of butter value by weight was in excess of the normal proportion Gasoline by weight ; and in the case of any herd the normal milk will bo as valuable for checso as for butter , the price of cither or the feeding value of the milk not being considered , nnd the richness of milk is duo to the absence , to a greater or less degree , of the usual 88 per cent of water that makes tliu bulk of milk. Neither is the bulk or weight of milk any criterion of its value , nnd the value attached to the size of u cow in the fu ture will bo regulated by the amount of solids in her milk , i. o. , the small cow that puts as much solids in her twonty- five pounds of milk per day will bo held as having superior value over a largo cow whoso fifty pounds of milk contain only an equal amount of solids. Unless the large cow can show u bettor per formance in actual butter , and checso on proportional rations , the smaller cow must win , as her smaller body calls for a correspondingly less consumption of food for bodily support. As it is money that the farmer wants to realize from the consumption of so much food by his dairy , fashion or sentiment - timont must give way in the end to performance - formanco , and wo must find out whether or not there is any extra cost in main taining a largo cow ns compared with a smaller ono to obtain only the same re sults in fats and chcc o , and we must also learn whether the excess of water in the milk of iiinty-pound-cows costs food , and , lastly , can the milk of thcso cows of great milk performance , by any line of breeding and feeding the animals - mals , bo made to exhibit the duo pro portionate amount of solids. Until the largo cow with a copious Jlpw of milk can show , on proportionate ra tions a greater yield of butter and cheese , it is folly for the dairyman to delude himself with the idea that quantity of milk is profitable dairying , unless ho , perchance , is a city milk ven dor , and when the law shall compel him ns it will in the very near future , to furnish a milk with 31 per cunt of fats , his ideas will change , and ho will de mand a cow that can furnish quality o.f milk ns well as quantity , and the medium sized cow , with perfect diges tion and with great powers of assimila tion of food , will bo in domand. Unless the largo cow can make her milk as valuable in solids the farmer will be compelled , I think , largely to breed the cows for his dairy , for by this plan alone can ho fix a typo , nnd it can bo accom plished only uv the powers of heredity. Not alouo must the mother's side , but the sire's also , bo of prepotent milk type , and thus doubly impress the. qual ities dcssrcd. . This blood , once iiiado conspicuous , must not bo diluted by the undesirable qualities of "pcrub , " or the antagonistic cross of a beef family. By selecting some of the most noted of the milking families of native stock , and crossing them with some well-known Unlry breed tent has u quality of milk to ? ivu It value , and then perpetuating the [ TOSS by careful selection , based on per formance , nnd "holding fust to the good , " there is no reason why nn intelli gent , observing farmer who reasons from cause to effect , and is guided by paying results , may not obtain at sintiil cost valuable dairy stock. Planning Abend. Correspondence Prairie Farmer : As winter is fast slipping by , every good farmer will sludy out his ' cam paign" for the coming season In accord ance with his means , his soil and his supply of manuro. Having adopted a plan , matters should be shaped at once so as to carry it otit to the very letter with n vim that Is sure to bring success. Just now every farmer should bo exert ing his utmost efforts to manufnctnro sufficient manure to fertilize every acre that ho may cultivate in a spring crop. If he sees that the barn and sta'tle ' sup plies are not equal to this , a compost lictip should bo started whore muck , wood mold , leaves and straw may bo piled up together and let remain a few weeks , when decomiwsition will have taken place to render the mass avail able to the crops. If the manure is still short , use commercial ferti lizers. If you have not ex perimented heretofore , nnd do not know what kinds are. most suitable for your land , bettor try special crop fertilizers. It won't pay to farm unless you put your soil in such condition that the probabilities are in favor of more than an average yield. Average farm ing does iwt pay. Corn requires either a very fertile soil or , if the soil bo not naturally fertile , that it bo heavily ma nured. It is a crop that demands a great deal of food , and it is not worth while to waste time , labor and seed un less there bo in the sod the necessary plant for n good crop. And as such is the case it will not pay to permit the ambition of having largo fields of corn to induce a farmer to put in a larger acreage than he can manure well , un less his land bo naturally rich. In lay ing out the work for the year the farmer should be particular and not overcrop himself. Ho should know just how much force of man and beast ho can put into the field , and calculate to cultluate thoroughly and well , allowing the sea- syn to bo unfavorable as it may. Endeavor to got in both oat and corn crops in lime , us nine times out of ten it it is the early crops that give the best yields' . Of course we would not have the grain go into the soil before it is sufiicicnlly warm to encourage the prompt germination of seed ; but as soon as the earth is warm enough to cause the seed to sprout and vegetate it should be planted , and no fears need bo entertained about Into frosts damaging the crop. It is the frosts in the fall that must bo avoided , if possible , The seed is an important itcra"to look after , bo it corn , grain or vegetables. But few realize - alizo the great necessity of attending to this matter , in ordcr'to secure a satis factory yield or to secure cither im provement or perfection in seed or veg etables. Every farmer should save his own Held seeds and the greater part of his garden seeds , buying what garden seeds he may need frdm scedmcn of rep utation , and not peddlers or grocery stores. It has well bdcu said that some farmers profess to have no time to de vote to a study of the characteristics , habits and nature of what they culti vate , und yet they have time to lounge nt the country store , iuid talk politics , as though the safety of the country depended - ponded ujxjn their opinions. While planning ahead this class of farmers , at least , should task themselves a little heavier and see if it would not help them through the "tight times" they are complaining about. Hints and Suggestions. An ignorant farmer is inexcusable in these days. Ho may have had little op portunity for school life , but he has the advantage of farmers' clubs , institutes and agricultural papers , and , if he will , may profit by the combined experience of many others. In this country nearly $3 worth of milk , butter and checso together are sold and consumed to every dollar's worth of hoof. What is more there is not much danger that the market for dairy products will ever be less than it is now it is practically inexhaustible. Sheep should bo entirely secure from * any exciting causes or liability to bo worried by other animals. Lot them have all the sweet hay or corn-fodder they will eat , in ndeition to the g rass , and feed half a pint to a pint of cornmeal - meal per day per head , in two feed , va rying occasionally with an equivalent of peas or oats. It is well to give some kind of succulent , as turnips or potatoes , once a day , ns much as they will eat , in place of ono of tlio feeds of grain. A bull with an ugly temper is danger ous , whether with horns or not. A Polled Angus bull in Minnesota some time since dashed its owner , an old gen tleman named Shcrwin , to the ground , nnd then , falling on its knees , butted him repeatedly , inllicting such injuries that its victim died shortly after having been rescued. ' A horse should not bo allowed to drink freely immediately after eating. Hon. John M. Russell , cx-sccretary of the Massachusetts board of agriculture , tells of seeing some horses in Franco fed on coarse beans , then watered all they could drink and immediately killed and dissected. Ho observed that a con siderable quantity of beans had been washed out of tlya stomach , and some of them were found in the intestines. As an exchange remarks , profit in meat production means economy in feeding. If wo should lese an car of corn either by having'it trod under foot and into the dirt , 1n consequence of feeding more than the hogs will eat , or if we should waste it by overloading the stomach , destroying" impairing digestion , and thus provcnting the sys tem from utilizing what is consumed , it would be so much ol ! the profit , and while ono ear of corn may not amount to much a good many , cars will amount to a great deal. t When starting Into the business of commercial ( wultry do not begin upon too largo a scale. Ono or two hundred hens at most , are sufficient. The busi ness may figure out nicely on paper , but there is a certain amount of practice absolutely necessary to success , and when the beginner starts on too largo a scale ho novur comos'up to expectations or calculations , and gives it up in dis gust. Somebody advises that in saving seed corn the selected ear be neither husked nor separated from the stalk on which it grew , but the stalk and unhuskcd oar bo hung up in a dry place until the planting season shall have come round. The claim has been advanced that seed BO kept has greater vitality , and pro duces more vigorous plants than eon that which is husked and afterward dried by fire heat. Pigeons are not troublesome , nnd afford much interest to those who huvo tbo time to attend to them proporly. The fancy kinds , such ns pouters , tum blers , rantaiU , barbs , owls and carriers , may bo kept In the name loft , but , they must be mated first. This must be done by confining a pair together nwny from the others. After the pigeons shall have been nil mated no danger will tirlso of distinct breeds mixing. There is a wide difference , snys the UrocilorV Gazette , between U cents a pound and B , and It Is quite evident that there Is something wrong when a far mer raises n steer to a mature ago and then sells him in thin order at the very lowest price for some one else to feed a few months and sell for a much larger price. The average quantity of milk re quired for a pound of cheese is live quarts. One hundred pounds of milk will make a ton-pound cliceso. Tlio milk as It comes from the cow is just about the right temperature to make cheese. If two milkings bo used , the night's milk should bo cooled at once and warmed in the morning.

[ Special to Chicago cage News. ] There are strange and un earthly doings in the house of Mrs. Doll Freeman , on First street in this city , and visions of the dead and unnatural visitations that put to shame the antics of Hanquo nnd the solemn visitations of of the king of Denmark. The story of these ghostly appearances has just uccn made public , although it has for some time been known to the police . Mrs. Freeman does not believe in spiritualism and has no faith in ghosts , and she is loath to tall ; of the manifes tations which have disturbed her peace and the peace of her family. Yet when interrogated to-day she admitted that she had been regaled at night and at day with mysterious sounds , music from Invisible musicians , the opening and shutting of doors , and sight of visitors who. to say the least , have little right to bo parading in her tiouso at unreason able hours in the habit of the living but with the scent of the tomb about thorn. Mr. Freeman was led to toll the story of her haunted house , and from her it was learned that a tall , slim man was discovered in her cellar. She sent a man to watch the figure , who followed it out and watched it a long time until it vanished like a puff of smoke. At an other time a man came from behind a book-case and glared at the inmates of the room , but vanished when some ono approached it. The object never talks , but makes unearthly sounds , as if in fearful distress. "It is not due tocxcitcd imagination , " Mrs. Freeman insisted , "or to fear , or anything of the kind. It maybe a pecu liar illusion , but I can't explain it. I have hidden my eyes in my handker chief and thcni removed the covering , only to find the object still in the room. Sometimes it makes a noise like a child crying. "Ono day all in the house saw n blue flame sweep down from the ceiling. Guitar music has often been henrd in those rooms issuing from nothing. Tlio clock there took a spoil ono night and played 'Homo Sweet Home' and 'In the Swcot _ By and By. ' Others heard it be side myself. The book-case doors came softly open and closed again without any apparent aid ; this was repeated three successive times. "One night a black velvet coffin with out u lid uus stealthly berne through the room between two supporters , but , from their hideous shapes , I could not make them out. In the coffin could bo plainly seen a dark-faced man. Scenes like that almost struck us dumb. Wo are most disturbed iu the morning be tween 4 nnd 5 o'clock. " Several years ago a man was murdered in the house , but Mrs. Freeman will not believe that the crime has anything to do with the manifestations ; but if there is any truth in old superstitions this perhaps explains the phenomena bettor than anything else can. Blood or some thing resembling blood has often been seen dripping from the ceiling. Mrs. Freeman thinks that perhaps some adept at legerdemain is trying to scare her out of the houso. She will summon detectives to her assistance and make a thorough investigation. The house in which she lives is 100 years old. It was once a very fine residence. Its superior excellence proven In millions of homes for more than n quarter of a century. It is used by the United btutes Government.
