CClrle‘Where Violets Grow.
Come where violets grow, love,
Come where waters stray;
Conic with me and wander,
All the live-long day.
Leave the busy murmur
Of the thoughtless throng;
Music o’er us sounding,
In the sweet bird’s song.
Come, and I will tell thee
What thy heart will cheer; -
How for years I’ve loved thee
With a love sincere.
Come where violets grow, lo've,
Listen to my strain;
And, with sweet voice, tell me,
I’ve not loved in vain.
Cutting and Steaming Feed for i
' five Stock.
(Read before Farmer's Club of American
Institute on Tuesday last.)
Touching this subject, Joshua Forsytil. a
farmer of l’enibcrton, New Jersey, wrote as
follows :—
I would like to make an inquiry or two of
the members of the Club which I hope some
one will answer. I would like to know if it
will pay to cut fodder, such as cornstaiks,
wheat straw, hay, and mingle wheat bran,
corn meal or m«. al of other grain with the cut
fodder and steam the mixture to inilch cows?
W'ill the process pay for the extra labor ?
How much also will steaming and thoroughly
cooking hog fce‘i save in fattening hogs? I
would like to have the benefit of the experi-
ence of any member who has made experi-
ments in this direction. I should want to
cook food not only fér milch cows but for
seventy-five or one hundred swine. I now
boil water and scald the hog feed, which is a
great deal of labor. More than this the feed
is not all thoroughly cooked. '
S. E. Todd—Cutting and steaming feed
for domestic animals is an economical pro-
cess, except when the work is done on an
exceedingly small scale. It will require
as much coal or wood and fodder cutter and
steaming appliances to cut and steani feed
for two cows as for ten. It would take a
man as long to fire and to steam a box of
feed for only a cow and a horse, as for half
a score of animals. Hence if one has only
three or four cows and a horse or two the
expense incident to procuring steaming ap-
pliances and the labor of cooking the feed,
would more than cancel the gain or saving
in consequence of cooking the feed.
When American potatoes or sweet potatoes
or apples are cooked for human food, no
element of nutrition is added to the, fruit or
vegetables. Cooking simply renders the
crude and unavailable atoms of nutriment.
assimilable by the digestive organs. Why
do we not subsist on whole wheat, whole
corn, whole rice, and whole brans, instead of
having the hard and coarse grain ground into
fine meal and cooked ?
The correct answer is because the elements
of nutrition in the hard kernels are .locked
up so firmly that our feeble powers of diges-
tion cannot break down the solidity of such
hard substances and thus render the nourish-
ment available. It would not pay to put
grass through a fodder cutter and afterwards
steam it before the food was distributed to
live stock, for the reason that all the elements
of nutrition in good grass are available to
live stock, without having been steamed. It
will not ptiy to steam hay of prime quality,
for the reason that live stock will extract all
the nourishment there is in the succulent
leaves and stems without having been steam-
ed. But when hay is made of dead-ripe
grass, many of the leaves and stems are so
hard that the nourishment is not available af-
ter it has been eaten. '
Many of the leaves, the sheathes, and the
husks of the stalks of Indian corn are so.
hard and rough, that live stock cannot avail
themselves of the nutriment such fodder will
yield, unless the fodder is first run through
a fodder cutter and then steamed. Clean
and bright straw contains a large per centage
of gum,starch and oil, which will make
milk and fatten neat cattle pr sheep, provid-
ed the roughness, the coarseness and the
solidity of the leaves and stems can be brok—
on down so that when animals eat the mess,
their digestive powers may be sufficiently
powerful to obtain the nourishment that ex-
ists in the rough material. .
When whole grain is fed to neat cattle, a
large percentage of 'what is ‘ eaten, will pass
undigested. I have tried the experiment so
often of feeding whole grain against the
practice of feeding cooked food that I am
satisfied there is a saving of fully one-third
of all sorts of grain by first grinding and
steaming the mess before it is fed out.
Many other intelligent farmers have practic-
ed steaming their meal for so many years
that they feel satisfied there is a saving of
one-third by grinding and steaming. “Then
a farmer is accustomed to feed only three
hundred bushels of Indian corn and other
grain to fattening swine alld neat cattle, it
will pay him a generous profit. to steam the
feed, provided he does not expend too much
for his steaming apparatus.
I made a cheap steam boiler which was
placed on the kitchen stove in which suffi-
cient steam could be made with one scuttle
of stove coal, to cook the breakfast for the
family and to steam feed for five hundred
swine were it necessary. This little boiler
consists of two cast—iron cylinder heads
about sixteen inches in diameter, and the cir-
cumference is galvanized boiler iron, extend-
ing from one head to the other. Twenty-one
inch and a half iron tubes extend from one
head to the other, the ends passing through
the heads and rivited on the outside to ren-
der the boiler water tight. The smoke and
flame from the fire pass through the tubes
and heat the water in the boiler in a short
time. The steam is driven out through
small pipe in the upper cylinder head, and is
conducted through gas pipe to the steam
box in which cut fodder and meal are placed
preparatory to being steamed. Such a boiler
could be placerbon a cheap stove in, the
kitchen or in the cellar, and steam sent in
pipes two hundred feet distant to the barn
or lioggery to cook food. By this arrange-
ment all danger incident to having fire about
out buildings would be avoided. When one
has such a cheap and convenient steaming
apparatus, the gain by way of cooking feed
will far exceed the cost over and above the
small expense of feeding rough and uncooked
feed. There. is ’no patent on my boiler,
neither do I make boilers to sell. But I
would cheerfully impart any instructions
gratuitously to anyone who might wish to
get up such a boiler, and if desired, would
lend my patterns. .
Joseph Harris (Author of Harris on the
Pig) says :—
Tlle saving of food is only a very small
part of the advantage to be gained in cooking.
What we should aim at in breeding and feed-
ing, is to get pigs to eat 25 per cent. more,
rather than 25 per cent. less food, and asks
us to explain it. A certain quantity of food
is necessary to sustain the vital functions.
If 8. pigs cats less than this quantity, he will
grow poor; if he eats just this quantity he
-will “hold his own,” and if he eats more
than this quantity, he will improve; It is
assumed that the pig will eat more of the
cooked food, because cooking makes it more
easily digested and improves its flavor. The
saving is effected by rendering nutritive
elements available, as well as in stimulating
appetite and the fat secretions.
A. C. Wales, a farmer of Stark Co., Ohio,
who has experimented extensively in feeding
sheep, wrote as follows :—
I selected 300 ewes, and divided them into
two lots of equal numbers,ard as nearly
equal in size, weight, age, and condition as
I could get them. One lot of 150 was placed
in one shed, and received liberal rations of
clover hay and sheaf oats. The other lot
of 150 was placed in ii neighboring shed, and
fed twice a day'with sowed corn fodder, cut
to three-quarters of an inch in length, mixed
with boiler water, at the rate of one bushel
, of the mixed feed to ten sheep. Before be-
ginning each lot was. weighed on a set of
stock scales conveniently near, and thereafter
was weighed twice a week. Each lot receiv-
ed the same care in watering, bedding, ex-
ercise, protection against Storms, etc. The
experiments were continued over a period of
eight weeks. The records of the details were
interesting to me, and so satisfactory as to
seem to warrant tllc purchase of an engine
and boiler, and the putting up of tanks and
conveniences on a scale adequate to the
wants of the flock. Since then 1 have fed}
this feed almost exclusively. Last winter,
owing to the failul’e of the hay crop, I kept
over my entire stock consisting of twenty
horses, about twenty head of cattle, and be-
tween 1600 and 1700 sheep, without a pound
of hay, and they came into spring ili better
condition than they havc'evcr done en dry
feed.”
The sheet-anchor of steam feeding, is the
fodder of sowed corn, of which I cut and
curry] 500 tons, last summer, from 80 acres
of upland clay soil. I aln now feeding 2250
sheep and lambs on steamed food; their
daily ration is 3,400 pounds of fodder corn,
500 pounds of bran, and 12 bushels of corn.
ZOne flock of 150 ewes weighed, gained three
pounds per head in eight days. lll regard to
the cost of steaming, he says: The stock
gnow being fed requires about three tons of
.dry food per day. The cutting is done by a
No. 6, Cummins cutter, and it is so arranged
that the cut feed as it falls from the cutting
inachinc is carried to and placed in the tanks,
,wet up with the necessary quantity of water,
and mixed with bran or meal by machinery
so that when the cutting is done, the feed is
ready for the steam.
: Tin'ce men in an hour and a, half can out
three tons. With the present boiler capacity
it takes one man four hours more to steam it.
Thebost of fuel for cutting, mixing, steam-
ing, pumping watér, etc., is about five cents
per ton of dry fecdf The cut feed is much
inore easily and rapidly distributed to the
animals than long feed. It is shovelcd from
the tanks down into wagons with Sideboards,
that stand below the bottom of the tanks
and carried to the sheep-folds. The racks
are made to accommodatetweuty sheep, and
thisnumbcr is found to need about two
bushels of cut feed. The feeder has two
two-bushel baskets. \Vhilc he is carrying
one to the racks the boy fills the other. In
this way a man and a boy can feed and care
for 1500 sheep. The fodder is eaten up
clean, a few joints and solid pieces only
being left, but not one per cent. is wasted.
All the advantages claimed for feeding
steamed food to cattle and horses—the
economy of feed, the increased health, thrift
and comfort of the animals—arc found in an
equal degree in the feeding of sheep. The
effect is shown in the wool,’ which is of a
length, clearness, style, and particularly
strength of staple rarely found on sheep
wintercd on dry feed. There is no jar, or
tender place in .. he wool,’ indicating the
point in the gro :of the fibre where the
sheep changed from green to dry feed. All
the wool‘buyers observed this; and the wool,
it is ‘ believed, commanded a higher price
than any other clip bought from first hands
in this or any of the adjoining counties.
“It is not claimed that the steaming of feed
adds to its nutritive elements. But as the
pulverization and stirring of the soil promote
the growth of plants by ‘ making the plant
food more accessible to the plants, so the
steaming of the feed makes it at once more
palatable and more readily digested and as-
siliiulated by the animalsg‘an‘d performs the
same office for Hicll‘ food that cooking does
‘for ours. _ 1 ' .. .' '~
J. W. Chambers, in a .late number of the
Practical Farmer, there is a communication
on the subject of steaming fodder and also
illustrations representing different views of a
very cheap furnace and boiler for cooking
food of almost every description. The
writer states that our steaming apparatus,
has certainly been very efficient, and I feel
- sure that for heating water for scalding hogs,
cooking corn or meal, steaming fodder. and
many other uses, it will be found a very
convenient. and almost necessary addition to
the stable.
LI'I‘CIIFIEIJ) IIlLl..—About one hundred
miles from New York city, perched among
the hills of Northwestern Connecticut, at an
elevation of more than twelve hundred feet
above the level of the sea, lies one of the
most picturesque of New England's villages
now chiefly known to the people of the me—
tropolis asapiace of summer residence. but.
whose crown of glory is its connection with
the past.
Though much of the modern prosperity of
the Hill is due to its improved means of coni-
munication with the outer world, its ancient
importance may be largely credited to its
conlparitivc isolation. On this account, prob-
ably, was it selected ill the war of the Revo-
lution as one of the cilicf depots for military
stores, and for the safekeeping of royalist
prisoners. When New York fell into the
hands of the British, the road from Hartford
through Litclifield became the principalhigh-
and over it. was hauled most of the provisions
and lnuitious of war- for the Continental
forces beyond the Hudson. The village be-
ing far inland and away from any navigable
river, it became the army headquarters in
Western Connecticut, and a place of consid_
erablc act-iVity. Its workshops rallg with the
busy sounds of preparation: the lowing of
becves and the shouts of teamstcrs were often
heard in its streets, and its taverns bristled
all over with military iulportauce- Nearly
all_of the general officers of the Revolution
VISlted it at various times, and although it
was never the scene of grea * vents, it bore
its share of the burdens of t struggle, and
its hospitable roofs doubtless witnessed many
a consultation which led to important results.
But great as were the glories of the Hill in
the Revolutionary times, they were fairly e-
clipsed in the period succeeding them, when
the celebrated law school, and the no less fa-
mous female seminary which existed contem-
poraneously with ' it, attracted pupils from
every State in the Union. These accessions
cicty already brilliant, and which included in
its numbers a large proportion of highly edu-
cated men and women. It is n’xaggeration
to say that this isolated Niw England town
was at that time the centre of a culture un-
cxcelled, and in some respects unequalled, in
its day. Tile Rev. Dan Huntington, who
was called iii 1798 from a tutorship iii Yale
College to the pastorate of the Congregation-
al church, describes it as “a delightful village
on a fruitful hill, richly endowed with its
schools, both professional and scientific, and
their accomplished teachers, with its venera-
ble Governors and judges, with its learned
lawyers, and Senators and Representatives
both iii the national and State departments,
and with a population enlightened and re-
spectable.” Of the heads of families resident
there at this time, seventeen were graduates
of colleges, seven were captains in the
Continental army, and four became general
officers, four became members of Congress,
two Chief J usticcs and two Governors of the
State. An anecdote of the same period shows
that the women of the Hill were no less ac-
complished than their lords, and that they
won admiration abroad as well as at home.
Among the ladies at the national capital du-
ring the second administration of Washing—
ton, none was more noted for personal attrac-
tions than the wife of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Said Mr. Liston, the British min-
ister, one day, to General Tracy, then United
States Senator from Connecticut, “Your
country-woman, Mrs. Wolcott, would be ad-
mired cven at St. James‘s.” “Sir,” replied
General Tracy, “she is admired even on
Litchfield Hill.”-—J. D. CHAMPIJN. Jun , in_

Mr. ’Joskins’ Painful Experience.
It was lodge night, and there had been an
unusual press of very important business,
which had kept Mr. Joskins out mucll later
thanhe had anticipated. He came home,
however, in apparent good order and well
conditioned. Mrs. J oskins knowing his trust-
worthy character and reliable habits, had
not waited up for him, and when he crept
into bed he was met with a very sleepy in-
quiry in regard to the reproach conveyed in
the question was so slight that Mr. Joskins
instantly repented him of the lie he intended
to tell, and only a little one. only an hour
and a quarter long, saying, .With an off-hand
carelessness that he guessed it must be nearly
eleven when he knew it must be 12:15. And
sleepy Mrs. J oskins, with her weather eye on
the sitting-room'clock, which she could see
through the Open bed-room door, just before
Joskins turned out. the light, knew it also
but she didn’t say anythino. Mr. Joskins
although he breathed very heavily, did not
go to sleep immediately. He soon began to
fidgct. His breath appeared to come with
some difliculty ; he actually gasped.
“Good land I” he exclaimed, “isn’t this
room awful close ?”
Mrs. Joskins didn’t know. She was awful
sleepy, she said, and the air of the room felt
comfortable to her. ‘
“By George,” said Mr. Joskins, after afew
minutes of restlessness, “it’s close as a vault
to me. Would it hurt you if I opened one of
the windows 1’”
His spouse drowsily replied it wouldn’t
give her a cold, and he might ventilate the
room all he wished. And with this permis-
sion she went to sleep, and Mr. J oskius got
up with great deliberation and proceeded to
raise lhe window.
“It is up alittle ways now,” he said, “I
can get my fingers under it.”
' And he caught a grip on it and gave a tug
at it, but it didn’t come. Mr. J oskins was
surprised. It never stuck that way before,
he said. 4 Then he got a fresh held under it,
and lifted as though he would ' pull that side
of the house up by the roots, but it didn't
come.
“Well, I will be blowed,” muttered Mr.
Joskins, with a heavy accent on the “be ”
And then caught hold again and shoved his
fingers as far under as they would reach, and
braced himself for a lift that would have
shamed a derrick.
“Ugh! Ump ! ’mp! I um-m-puh! I I"and
with the final grunt Mr. Joskins sank back
exhausted. -
ed, with some wrath. “If I don’t lift this
window up, or I’ll pull the house over." You
hear me ?”
And he caught hold and tugged and lifted
and strained, until he was sure that every
succeeding tug would either lift the side of
the house or pull his feet. through the floor.
He paused again for breath, with his head so
full of blood that his feet were cold.
“Jocks !” he snarled, “I’d give ten million
“dollars if I had the carpenter here that 'put
in that window. I bet I’d lift him, the
wooden-headed idiot. Now, then.” .
And he stooped down' and caught a fresh
hold on the window, and set his teeth and
shut his eyes and held his breath and put his
whole soul and body into his arms. As he
began to straighten up,he could hear a sound
like the cracking of timbers, and it inspired
him with renewed strength. “Sonictbing’s
coming, gospel sure,’ he said, and re-doubled
his effort.
At that instant he became aware of a glim-
mer of lightiu the room. He. raised his
closed lids and beheld Mrs. Joskins standing
over him, like a white-robcd ghost, a lamp
in her hand. At the sight of which appari-
tion, Mr. Joskins ceased lifting, but held his
grip.
“What’s the matter i" he asked.
His wife said nothing, but. looked steadily
and severely into his inquiring eyes. Mr.
Joskins felt troubled beneath her steady
gaze.
“What is it ?” be repeated.

She looked him straight in the eyes for a

moment. “John J oskins,"she said solemnly,
“go back to bed. I will raise the window
for you. Don‘t say a. word to me. To-mor-
row we will talk ahoxltaay critinuation of
. these lodge nights.” ,
Speechless and confused, .‘ilr. Joskills’ eyes
fell, and as they did so, he beheld his hands.
The window was shut as tight as wax,aud he
had a death grip on the broad windozv sill.
“Well, anyhow,” he thought, as he crept
back under the blankets, “there‘s one thing
certain ; if she hadn‘t got up when she (lid,
I’d ‘a had the whole window casing, siliand
I111, shoved half way up the side of the house
in another tug. ”
’ilich was very poor consolation for what
he knew was coming, but it was the best he
had.

they are exported, and does not include the
cost of coloring, finishing, and preparing
them for the adornment of the fair sex,
which must certainly equal the original cost.
$6,000,000 a year for ostrich feathers! Well,
if men didn’t waste some millions a year on
superfluous buttons on their coat tails and
.cuffs we should feel like writing an essay on
the extravagance of women. Afterdall, it is
for the best that there 'should be this extrav-
agance, for it gives employment to thousands
of men who would otherwise be unemployed
—to say nothing of keeping the ostriches out
of idleness—and the cost comes out of the
pockets of those who are able to bear it.
By the way, a grasping, covctous Californ-
ian, not content with the ' wealth dragged
from the earth, suggests that ostrich raising
might be added to the profitable industries of
the state. He thinks that ostrichcs would
thrive along the edge of the desert of San
Bernardino, and that 1000 birds, yielding
$20,000 worth of feathers a year, might be
better than sheep farming. Instead of hav-
ing riches take to themselves wings and fly
away, he prefers that they should take
feathers and fly the other way—Boston Oom-
morcz'al Bulletin.
Very few men know anything about a
horse beyond ability to distinguish him from
a cow. Some fool hostler or harness maker
tightens up the “check-rein,” as this sense-
less invention is called, and away he drives.
The suffering is not so great when the horse
is in motion, but the moment he stops he
lowers his head to relieve the muscles of the
neck, and to prevent this natural relief is
cruelty. Some men think, or rather imagine
without thinking, the more a horse resembles
a giraffe the better he looks. But nature is
beautiful anywhere and always. Any ani-
mal, man or beast, looks better when natural
and comfortable.

A Chemical Wedding'-
Messrs. Water and Oil
One day had a broil,
As down in the grass they were dropping,
And would not unite,
But continued to fight,
Without any prospect of stopping.
Mr. Pearlestih o’erheard,
And quick as a word
He jumped in the midst of the clashing,
~ When all three agreed,
And united with speed,
And soap came out ready for washing.
Our Minister’s Sermon.
The minister said, last night, says he,
“Don't be afraid of givin’;
If your life ain’t worth nothin’ to other folks,
Why, what’s the use of livin’ 2"
And that’s what I say to my wife, says I,
There’s Brown, the mis’rsble sinner, o
He’d sooner beggar would starve than give
A cent toward buyin’ a dinner.
I tell you, on} minister’s prime, he is,
But I couldn’t quite determine,
When I heard him a givin' it right and left,
Just who was hit by the sermon.
Of course there couldn’t be no mistake
; When he talked of long-winded prayin‘,
For Peters and Johnson, they sot and scowlcd
At every word he was saying’.
And the minister went on to say—
“There’s various kinds of cheatin’
And religion’s as good for every day
As it is to bring to meetin’.
I don’t think much of a man that gives
The louds amens at my preachin’,
And spends his time the followin’ week
In cheatin’ and overreachin’.” '
I guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to swaller;
But I noticed he didn’t open his mouth,
Not once, after that to holler.
.Hurrah! says I, for the minister—
Of course I said it quiet——
Give us some more of this open talk,
It’s very refreshin’ diet. _
' The minister hit ’em every time,
And when he spoke of fashion,
And riggin’s out in bows and things,
As woman's rulin’ passion”
And comin’ to church to see the styles-—
. I couldn’t help a winkin’
And a nudgin’ my wife, and says I, “That’s
you,”
And I guess it sot her to thinkin’.
Says I to myself, that sermon’s pat,
But, man, its a queer creation,
And I’m much afraid that most of the folks
Won’t take the application.-
Now, if he had said a word about
My personal mode of sinnin’,
I’d have gone to work to right myself,
And not sot there a grinnin’.
Just then the minister, says lie,
“And now I’ve come to the tellers '
.Who’ve lost this shower by usin’ their friends
As a sort of moral umbrellas.
Go home,” says he, “and find your faults,
Instead of huntin’ your brothers’,
Go home, says he, “and wear the coals
You’ve tried to fit to others."
My wife she nudged, and Brown he winked,
And there was lots 0’ smilin’,
And lots 0’ lookin’ at our pew—
It sot my blood to bilin’,
Says I to myself, our minister
Is gettin’ a little bitter;
I’ll tell him, when the meetin’s out that I
Ain’t at all that kind of a critter.
A lVIule Willing to Go.
A bad little boy in Portland lit a pack of
shootingc'rackers and threw them into the
street to see them “go ofi.” One of Ike Bat-
man’s mules came along and swallowed them
before they went off. Themule walked about
fifteen feet and stopped. Things wasn’t act-
ing right . inside He began to taste the
smoke of fire-crackers. He laid his left car
around against his ribs, and heard something.
It was those crackers having fun. The mule
picked out about three and a half miles of
straight road and started. A negro met him
going south, white with perspiration, with
streams of smoke shooting out of his nostrils,
mouth and ears, while his tail stuck straight
up, and a stream of blue and green smoke
about ten feet long followed in the rear. Ike
found his mule yesterday morning sticking
half way through a farm house near Paddy’s
run, still smoking, The man had got his
family out and put ’em up into a lot of trees.
Ike hauled his mule home, when he got cool
enough, on a dray. The man is going to
move his house further back off the road,
and his wife and oldest daughter will be bap-
tised when the water gets warm—Louisville
Courier-qumal.
Mistakes will Happen—A jeweler
was heard saying to a sad-eyed yéung man
yesterday : “ I know just how embarrassing
it is, but it can’t be helped. I sold you the
ring for $3, and agreed to tell your girl if she
came here with it that it was a $90 diamond
ring. She came in yesterday while I was
busy back here, and that blockhead of aclerk ~
up and told her that it was a filled ring with
a brilliant in the top. Yes, I suppose she
gave you fits last night, and it may break of!
the match, but on see how it was. She
ought to have ta on your word that it was a
diamond. If you want to take her up one of
these $5 imitation coral setts I’ll make out a
bill for $60 and sign it in regular shape, and
1331418113 she’ll be pacified.”——[Delroit Free

New York police court item : “Augustus
Peralto,” said His Honor at the Fifty seventh.
steet police court yesterday to a deaf prison-
er, “you are charged with being intomcated;
what have you to say ?” Augustus put his
hand over his ear and said “What E” in a
loud voice. “You were drunk,” shouted the
court abruptly. “Certainly, certainly," said
Augustus with great politeness, “there’s my
card.” “I don’t want your card. How did
you happen to get drunk '2” “Bologna," said
Augustus, smiling. "Bologna I” said His Hon-
or, “that’s a new intoxicant. How old are you
“Eighteen hundred and seventy-two,” said
Augustus. “Where did you get your liquor ”
“ In Italy, Your Honor.” “ You were taken
to the station house in a cart, were you not?’ ’
“ Yes, sir, we had a stormy voyage; it took
us four weeks.” ‘ “ Well,” said the court
with a smile, “ how long do you think I
oughtto give you on the island for this of-
fense ?” “Thirty-two years, sir." “Sear-
eant,” said His Honor, “send this man
own stairs and get some one to inform him
that he is fined $10.”
Lawnms’ Fuss—There is no‘ tariff of
charges to re late the bills of our legal
,friends. Mr riefless serves you for a mod-
erate sum, but when he secures an establish-
,ed reputation,for the same labor he multiplies
the value of his work. “A bit of advice which
saves perhaps $500, costs $100, while a wise
look or a timely wink goes down in the bill
of items as “consultation $50.”. A Mr. ar-
tin in New York recently. brought in a ill to
the builder of the Windsor Hotel for about
$60,000 for legal services, and poor Mr. Daly
was informed by Mr. Martin that there was
no uss of contesting his claim in this action,
as it would be referred by the court to a law-
yer, and that “lawyers would never go. back
on each other.” One charge for negotiating
a mortgage is $15,000, and “for savmg the
property ” he asks $20,000. Mr Martin has
been paid $9,600, but he asks for more.
