inasmuch as her proximity to the dis
affected districts in Western Turkey
would enable her to render valuable
aid in Fastening the partition of Tur-
key. Russia might be unable 10 pro-

A Grand Old Emperor.

The Gar ought to be a popoular SOW
creigD, for he knows how TO ride and
be courteous to his subjects. His
craftsmanship is perfect: although his
face is scanned and careworn, in the
saddle he shows no signs of age. AT
Odessa, on May 2, he noticed poor
woman by the roadside, who saluted
him as he rode by. Turning in the
saddle and looking bsck, he bowed and
touched his cap to her as politely as
though she were princess.

heifers as one COW is the practice followed in

was sold to one party, at forty-one cents per
ibs. and must have been good, as have had
no complaint and as yet have not been able

per COW is only $50 TBS. the result in my dairy
is proof positive Of the adaptability Of our
