A TRAMP CLIENT'S FEE "Undoubtedly the most valuable barrel of whiskey ever distilled," said a well-known lawyer, was owned some years ago, in Steuben county. If there was ever a barrel of whiikey more valuable I would like to hear of it, for two gallons of this particular barrel brought its owner over $600,000 a gal lon. There is a story connected with that whiskey that is worth telling, and worth placing on the record, too. "Some years before the war a young man named Henry M. Sherwood was admitted to the bar of Steuben county. He was a bright young fel low, and belonged in the town of WoodbuU. Soon after he was admit ted to the bar, and before he had had his first client, a tramp was arrested and put into jail at Corning. Lie had been guilty of some serious breach of the peace, and hie general appearance was that of a genuine tough. He tried to engage a lawyer to defend him when his case came up for a hearing, bat as he had no money no one cared to take his case in hand. At last he inquired whc'.ber there wasn't some young law yer in the place who hadn't had much of an opportunity to distinguish him self as yet, and who would likely be willing to undertake the management of the prisoner's case for the chance of getting some glory out of it. He was told that youug Hank Sherwood might consent to appear under these con ditions, and the stranger sent for the briefless lawyer. Sherwood went to the jail and saw the prisoner. " 'It looks as if I was in a pretty bad scrape,' said the tramp to Hank, 'but I believe that a lawyer can get me through all right. Now, I'm from Kentucky, and I haven't got a cent. I'm going back to Kentucky if I get out of this scrape, but I'll have to beg or beat my way till I get there. My father is a big distiller, but I've been a trifle wild, and he aud I are not on the best of terms. He wouldn't send me a cent even if I should send word to hint of the fix I am in here. But I'll tell you what I'll do. If you will take charge of my case and work it for all It is worth, and get me clear, I'll sneak out of the old man's stock when I get home a barrel of the best old Kentucky whiskey there is in the Bourbon coun try, and have it shipped to you. I can do it easy. What do you say?'' "Young Sherwood didn't take a bit of stock in the old man's story, but he made up hia mind to see what he could do in the management of the case, just to bejin getting his hand in, and he accepted the tramp as his client. I slon't remember the details of the case, but Hank succeeded in clearing the tramp, and the latter went away, feeling good. Time passed along, and Sherwood had forgotten ail about hi tramp client and the promised fee, when one day the station agent at Ad dison, where the young lawyer lived, met Mm and said: " 'Say, Hank, there's a barrel in tne freight house for you. it's been there day or two, and came from Ken tucky. More than that, its markings declae that it contain fine old Ken tucky bourbon." "The tramp haa paid his lawyer's fee, sure enough. Sherwood had the barrel taken home and p.aced i.i his cellar. He wasu't much of a tamperer with whiskey, aud the barrel lay in the cellar fare years without being dis turbed. The late Constant Cook was then Jndge of Sreuben county. He was holding court at Cumin? one term, and, as was the custom in those days, a number of lawyers and others gathered in the Judge's room at the hotel in the evening and passed ar. hour or to in a social game of eucbre. The Judge enjoyed an occasional gluss of good whiskey, too. On the occa sion I speak of, Hank Sherwood was one of the Judge's cuchro party. The Judge was very bitter in his denunci ation of the whiskey tbey sold in Corn ing, and said he would be grateful for a glass of whiskey that was fit to drink. That reminded Shervvood of his barrel of old Kentucky bourbon that had been lying so long in his cel lar. He told Judge Cook that be had some whUkey at home that he believed was good, and. that he would fetch some down next day. He had bis barrel tapped that night, and filling a two-gallon jug from it brought it to Corning and presented it to Judge Cook. The Judge tasted the whiskey, aud in all his experience ho had never mot with its equal. ' 'Young man,' said ho to Sher wood, I won't forget you for fetch ing me this rare stuff. If ever I see a chance to five you a lift I'll Jo it.' "Time paused. Sherwcod sklniie4 along after the manner of the average country lawyer. The war broko out. Judge Cook was one of the solid men ' of western Xew York. lie. In mm. 1 pony with tho lute John Arnot, J. T. 8'raimhan t Buffalo, Charlos Cook of Ilarana, and John H. Chcdell of Auburn, had built the Xow York ajd Erie Hailrou.t from Dinghnmton to Cording, an rni largely inter est cd In other gie.: :mpmvi'iucnts .n tarn iuit of r'ld 8. ate and rcuusyH a fcoun - tlic war bcau ho obtained a big government contract, and at one lent for Hank Sherwood " 'I'm going to give yon that lift now, Henry,' said he. "He let Sherwood in on the con tract, and the country lawyer's share o the proceeds was $150,000 cold, cash dollars. After this was done Judjre Cook said to Sherwood: " 'There's some land for sale in Tioga county, Ta. It is coal land, and is bound to be very valuable. Yon can buy some of it very cheap. Put all the money you've got in that land. "Sherwood did so. Every dollar he made in the big contract he put into Tioga county laud. He hadn't a great while to wait before the prophesy of Judge Cook came true. Henry M. Sherwood's first fee resulted in being the biggest fee he ever received by any lawyer on earth, for he cleared over $1,000,000 from his investment in the Tioga county lands, and the barrel of Kentucky whiskey his tramp client had paid for his services was the basil of it all. "Was there ever a moit valuable barrel of whiskey distilled, do you think?" UBEFUli KECIPES. CHIU SACCE, TO BE USED FOB OOI.I MEATS OB EE AS O MHO STEWS OR sotrpa.

Trouerly managed there is no question but tint i witji A majority of soils, deep planting wig foJnd much the best plan. Not otly will the plants make a better growth, but as a rule tbey will withstand drought much better. But it lis not best to deepen the plowing too Wtuch st one time, and especially so in the spring. If the plowing is to be deep ened to any considerable extent the blowing should be done in the fall, as by jtbis piaa the elements will have all jwintcr to work upon the sail, and make available the latent elements of plant food that are iu it. To turn up onto the Surface any considerable quantity of sub toil and then plant the seed is almost certain to give poor results. Out by gradually increasing the depth, briogiog ui a little new soil every time the ground ia plowed, deep plowing caa be made very beneficial. Of course in some soils deep plowing nisy not be beat, but this Is in exceptional ca?c. Plow deep and thorough, but cultivate shallow, stirring only the surface. This gives the roots opportunity to work tbeir way down into the soil and at the same time avoids disr turbiog them in soy ay when givioi; the accessary cultivation.

The nne to which it Is married is an old Indian air, which blended with tbe nusic in the woods in the primeval 'orest long before Sunday schools were bought of. The hymn was composed for the melody. Its bright and strong-y-marked phrases struck Mr. Young's nusical ear the first time he heard it aeually played in the drawing-room, le asked for it again and again. It taunted him. Being accustomed to elieve the clamor of his thoughts and 'eelings In rhyme, words naturally fol owed, and so the hymn was naturally reated. It got into print.

Whoever hoe sees dchoro3l cattle confined ia a srnaU yard sod e&tmtr like saesp out of one rack, or tralhe red together in groups lor ma' tusl protection from flier or coUl, csonol but admit that dehoroiog is successful.

The largest horns can be cut off ia thirty seconds with a sharp saw and many ol tbcra to five seconds. Another method is to prevent tbe growth of the Jioras. Tako young calves when they are one to three weeks old, wet tbe horn spots with water and with a stick of caustic potash rub th? spots uati! the hair begins to loosen and come off of the bora spots. The peculiar action of the potash stOis all growth of the horn and is not a very painful operation. Protect the Angers iy wrapping tbe stick in paper.

This hurt the cattlo far mora than it would to cut the horns off.
