The Mule's Misfortune.
A man of ingenious mind and
ample leisure has gone to
the trouble of figuring out the
of lawsuits brought in each
try in a year and he has reached tho
conclusion that the United States is
a better country for attorneys and
counselors than any other civilized
land under the says the New
York Sun. He figures as lawsuits
civil actions only, taking into no ac-
count proceedings of a criminal char-
brought by the public author-
against individuals. He has
ascertained that, taking the figures
the last ten years as a fair aver-
there are lawsuits
brought in England every year,
in France, in Italy,
In Germany and
the United States.
It is not to be Inferred from this
that the people of one country are
much more prone to litigation than
are the people of another, but the
explanation is to be found in the fact
that the conditions of litigation vary
exceedingly. Going to law in Eng-
land is very expensive business, for
it entails outlays in the form of costs
and expenses so large that many of
the courts are practically closed to
of modest means and a long
litigation unsuccessfully pursued
ends often bankruptcy. In France
the number of lawsuits is kept down
through the general practice of
as many as cases
in a year, especially those arising
from disputes over wages, being set-
by this agency without onerous
cost to either party. In Germany a
great majority of cases are petty
Involving a small amount of
money and due, many of them, to
customs or usages which are not
sufficiently to be, in all
cases, similarly understood by both
parties to an agreement. This is
especially the case in the farming
districts of Germany end there are
many legal disputes in the
districts, too.
The number of cases credited to the
United States seems enormous, but
i it is probably accurate. There are,
for example, eleven district courts
for the disposal of civil cases in New
York city. In one of these courts,

Two calves from grade Jersey
were left on their dams until six
and three days old respectively. The
first day from dams, the calves were
fed freshly drawn mother's milk with
nothing in it- The second day moth-
milk and separated milk was
fed. This proportion of mixing was
continued five days. Then one pound
of fresh milk to four pounds of
milk was fed five days. The third
period of five days the calves six
pounds each of separated milk
daily with one ounce of ground oats
into each mess.
During the fourth period of five days
seven pounds of separated milk with
one ounce each of ground oats and
wheat were at each of two
feeds by calf. For the fifth
of fife days eight pounds of
rated milk one ounce each of
ground oats and wheat as before, con

for each calf.
From the beginning of this feeding
