BELGIUM PREPARING.
The Army on a Full War FoOting-EVery
thing for Defense.

From the London Tmes.l
The military authorities are taking
the most energetic steps to protect the
neutrality of the country. The army
has been put on full war footing, all
the reserves having been called up.
Every hour men from all parts may
be seen toiling along the hot and dus-
ty roads to their respective depOts,
and all those who had been sent to
their homes after their customary pc
RODS Of drill have been recalled. In
addition to the citizen army of gardes
civiques and volunteers, Bel
gium has now one hundred thousand
men under arms. They are divided into
two corps, the first being commanded
by Lieutenant General Eerrens, with
Colonel Brielmont as Major General.
The first corps will guard the new and
extensive fOrtification lines of Ant
Werp, and there are already 10000
men on this duty. Both officers and
men are vigorously working highland
day to place the defenses in perfect
condition. The second corps is placed
under the general command of Lieu
tenant General Baron Chazal, and
comprises two divisiOns-One under
the command Of COmpte de Flandre
(brother TO the King, and the other
under Gen. Sapin. These divisions will
guard the French and Prussian from
tiers. The COmte de Flandre will
establish his general quarters at Lou
vain and General ChaZal at Liege.
The troops will leave Brussels TO-
morrow. The gardes civiques viii do
duty at the garrisOns of Brussels,
Maiines, Ghent, Bruges, etc. These
civic soldiers are already under arms.
The duty is heavy. In one small
Office. near where ! write these lines,
five young men are called from their
desks. Military duty is also heavy in
the adjoining country Of Holland.
A gentleman who has just returned
from there tells me that the poor men
who had just completed their usual
three year, service, and should have
been disbanded and sent to their seve-
raj homes On Saturday, were suddenly
recalled while at the railway station
in anticipation Of a joyful reunion.
They were sadly chopiallen, but duti-
fully retraced their steps to headquar-
ters. The various viaducts and
bridges On the frontiers of France
and Prussia have been under
mined, and On Friday evening
orders were telegraphed to the seve-
raj officers IN charge to blow them up
on the approach Of any armed forces
on either side. One unfortunate sub
officer. in the absence of his princi-
pal. misunderstood his instructions,
and at once blew up the bridge near
Blandain station, the frontier Of
France on the Calais, Lille and Brus-
sels railway. The damage has been
temporarily repaired. .--BrlIsseLs Or

BUTTER-At the New Hampshire
Farmers Meeting the other day,
Gov. Simon Brown, of MaSSachu-
sets, stated that he went through
the markets of Boston, not long
since, and asked every dealer that
he could find, what proportion Of
the butter brought into market was
strictly prime, and he was struck
with the wonderful unanimity of the
response mot one pound III ten or
mot one tub in ten" lie stated,
a fact not unknown to others. hoW>
ever, that very much of the butter
is "doctorcd," and made more salea-
bic after coming into the market.
There is not, however, any pro-
cess known by which a greasy, poor
quality OF butter can be made to as
sumo n waVy, fair consistency. or
by which nutty, fine laver can be
/ given to butter made nom poor feed
or by uncleanly processes. One cir.
CumStancc in relation to the hest
butter is not generally understood
! it is that very little Of it finds It's
way into the open market, and the
price at which it is sold is neyer
quoted.
Many of the producers of strictly
prime butter, have regular custom
ers who take it atprices much above
the market, and if, 10y chance, Il
dealer gets hold of any Of it, he has
customers always waiting for it,
and he is moreover very careful that
the producer and consumer do not
become known to each other. Most
producers do not appreciate the al
vantagcS that would result to them
from the production of Il better ar
ticlc aud the exercise Of Il little
more skill in selling il.
