( Plaintiff obtained judgment in the circuit court for the iilliug of certain sheep by the defentlnut's ruihoad. The defense claims that the killing was caused by the neg ligence of the herder and not by carelessness in the operation of the train; judgment reversed. Stock Running at Lap.ge. Htock running at large are animals that roam ov feed at will, and are not under the immediate control and direction of any one, and in such case if they wander on the track of a railroad and are killed, the owner, in allowing them o run at large, is not guilty of con tributory negligence and preclud ed from a recovery. Stock in Charge of a Herder Contributory Negligence.- -Stock in charge of a herder and subject to his control, is not stock running at large, as the places where they wander and feed and lie down to sleep are selected by him subject to his direction and control; and if he voluntarily drives and leaves them uucared for in a place of danger, along a railroad tracjc, where injury is likely to happen to them as a prob able consequence, and they are killed, his act will be regarded as the proximate cause of the injury and precludes the owner from re covery. Low Price ot Cattle. Experienced cattle growers are of the opinion that such low pric es as cattle now bring cannot long continue. A few years ago, when their business was prosperous, thousands rushed into it. A host of cattle kings appeared on the Western ranches. The result was over production and a decline in prices. "When the prices of cattle fell, they were just as anxious to get out of the business as they were to get in. They were ready to make any sacrifices to get; out. .thousands of cattle that . are now ready for the market were thrown on the market with a result of de moralizing it. Raising 3-cent cat tle is a losing business, and the grower is soon forced to quit it. Then will come a time when the ever growing demand for beef cat tle will exceed the supply, and prices will go up with a bound. The grower must study the proba bilities for the future when his young stock is. ready for the mar ket. The chances are now in fa vor of better prices. SHEEP GROWING IN ENgLaND. Writing from England, where he has been looking into the meth ods of English agriculture, ex Commissioner Coleman says of this subject: "Sheep-growing is the most profitable farming car ried on here. Most farms have a few sheep on them, and some of them a large number. The sheep men that we have met claim, notwithstanding the low price of wool, that they are doing very well. They are all raising mutton sheep. "We have not seen a meri no sheep in England, and have seen hundreds of flocks of mutton sheep. Early lambs are raised, which always bring high prices. Mutton sheep are especially fatted for market, and sell nearly as high that is, bring nearly as much money per head as some of our American steers that are shipper! to market. Taking the wool, the increase of lambs and the high price of fat sheep, mutton produc tion seems to be about the most profitable farming carried on here under the present system of rents, unless it be truck farming, which is conducted largely in the neigh borhood of all town3 and cities." NEW METHOD OK BUDDING. Some horticulturist claims to have discovered a new method of setting buds, which he holds to be much better than the old way. It consists in making the cross cut on the stalk at the bottom instead of tne top of the vertical cut, and shoving the bud in upward under the bark instead of downward, as on the old plan. This, he says, causes the bark to better shelter the bud from raiu than in the old way; and hence largely increases in chances for success. The thing appears entirely reasonable; the cut for the bud would need to be a little different from the usu al cut, we suppose, the knife start ing in sufficiently above to leave more wood above than below. Of course the bud must be set the same way as in the other case. Mobile Register. , Ml , IM .AllegedConspiriitcrsoBTri.il. Viwsxa.
