The Custom of His Country.

A correspondent writes: CAS- we
were all talking and thinking of Tur-
key and the Turks, | am reminded Of an
anecdote related to me by Belzoni, on
Shrove Tuesday, 1923, at the Hotel
Beauvean (still existing) at Marseilles,
on the eve of his departure for his final
and fatal expedition to Timbuctoo. As
our conversation naturally turned upon
the Carnival, whose exit was being cele-
brated by the usual masks and mummers
under our windows, he told me that a
few years before, ut Lisbon, where the
usual saturnalia were beinglindulged in,
a mask in the gay crowd threw an orange
ut the carriage of the Turkish Embassa,
dor, which struck him in the face; upor
which the ambassador, after a slight de,
lay, proceeded to the Portuguese Minis
Ter OF Foreign Affairs, to complain Of the
indignity thus publicly offered him. 90,
said the Portuguese Minister, such is tn,
custom of the country on these occasions
and l hope your Excellency will pardon
it, BE it So exclaimed the Turk
: but l was about to add, when you in
terrupted me, that l Immediately drew
my pistol and shot the fellow dead, fo1
that is the custom of our country; and
have no doubt, from the remark yol
have just made, that you will overlook
it,"

Keeping Winter Pears.

The Country Gentleman gives editori-
ally the following judicious hints for the
preservation of winter pears: winter
pears as well as apples keep much longer
if left in a cold clubhouse till the arrival
of freezing weather. After placing in
the cellar, they require special care.
Unlike apples, they must be accessible to
frequent examination, as most sorts will
remain without rotting but a few days
after they are ripe enough to eat. They
may therefore be placed upon shelves;
and as they do best in the dark, it viii be
useful to cover them with blanket,
Still better is it to place them in drawers,
if only small quantities are to be kept.
Pears generally are less liable to shrivel
and mere apt to rot than apples, and for
this reason a drier cellar should be chosen
for them, or one which has the bottom
and sides plastered with water lime
cement. We find no difficulty inlhaving
a good, supply of Anjou, Winter Nell,
and Lawrence through December and
into the middle If January and some.
times into February, while Josephine de
Malines and Alencon keep through the
last named month. 1t is necessary, how.
ever, to watch them, and remove those
which are in danger of decay, and tc
keep the apartment cold, without freez.
ing, through the assistance of thermome.
tiers. All this care is more than repaid
by a regular supply of delicious and
juicy pears in the depth of winter"

Feeding for Milk and Butter.

Suppose the farmer is about to start in
butter making, he would naturally be
very careful to select those cows which
promise to give not only quantity but
quality. 1t is foreign to our purpose to
discuss the different breeds or the best
mode Of judging Of the quality of the
cows, but for butter we can safely recon-
mend the Jersey, or, popularly styled,
Alderney, and the Guernsey. Their
cream is very plenty, very rich in buty-
raceous qualities and of fine color. If
not to be had at satisfactory prices, at
least M of these breeds to every six
cows Of other breeds should be kept to
color the butter; and if the farmer will
get a good jersey bull, he will scr inn
prove the quality of his herd. To Judge
a cow for butter, her hide should be thin,
soft and mellow, and under the hair of a
deep yellow color; her udder should be
soft and yellow, well covered with zig-zag
veins, large and broad; her tail at the end
a rich yellow: the inside Of her ears and
around her eyelids yellow. With such
signs. and the signs of quantity alSD,
the purchaser will not make q mistaken
selecting her.
With n good lot of cows and a bull
that has q good escutcheon, the farmer
must pay attention to the feeding and
watering. Out of nothing can come
nothing; therefore to have good butter
Ne must have good milk. The COW is in
an artificial state on the farm, highly
stimulated 10 produce milk as nearly al
the time rs possible. Therefore the ma,
chine must be supplied with pabulum u
turn out milk rich enough to make but
ter. This it is not in the province oi
this essay To say much Of; but in sum
mer time the cows should have plenty o.
good rich pasture, SO Al to ill themselves
soon and easily, and with sweet and nu
tritious grass that has strength, 70 thu

FARM N HOME.
The Rape Crop.

In the current number of the Agricul-
turisf, Mr.. Joseph Harris has this about a
crop very little cultivated by American
farmers:
The chief value of rape consists in its
hardness. 1t will stand frost better than
any other green crop | have ever grown.
I raised it solely for the purpose of af-
fording my Cotswold sheep a bite of
green food in winter. l wanted to give
them exercise. The rape was sown in
July. The crop kept on growing until
winter set in. The frost did not hurt it,
and we let the sheep pasture on it all
winter. We did not have very much
snow, and the sheep paved the snow
away and managed to get at the rape.
There were very few days during the
winter hat the sheep did not, of their
own accord, walk to the rape field and
remain until three or four o'clock in the
afternoon, when they came back to the
barn. The exercise and the green food
were Just what the breeding ewes needed
to keep them healthy. We had unusu.
ally strong lambs in the spring. The
sheep were foddered twice a day with
straw and corn stalks, and q little bran
OF grain.
In the more southern sections of the
country l should think rape might be
sown to advantage for winter pasturage
but at the north | doubt whether it viii
be generally profitable. If it was moi
for affording the sheep fresh air and ex.
e%rcise, l should not grow it. Corn fod
der will furnish much more nutrimen'
per acre, and mangel wurtzel will give
us all the green food the sheep require.

Farmers' Wives.

A Monroe county New York; farmer
writes thus: "The home life of the
farming class sadly needs recognizing.
Farmers homes are boarding houses for
hired help, and farmers wives are almost
bond-women. The larger the farm the
worse the servitude." l. there not much
truth in what he writes? All must adj
nit its force, but the difficulty is to sug-
gest a remedy that will be practicable.
Perhaps its panacea may be found in the
following extract from another farmers
letter: ~ have always boarded my
help until the present season, but / shall
never do it again. l built a tenement
house, and it has paid its cost already in
the added privacy and quiet in has ena.
bled me to enjoy, and in lessening the
work of the women"
1t is hard for us to get rid of the idea
that it costs us something to board oul
farm hands, but we must do it. If 9
farmer will sit down and carefully count
up Just what it costs him to board hi
men he will be surprised at the result
and conclude that hotel keepers are no
so very exorbitant after all. Let gu
farmer friends think over the matter
and see if We are not right in supposin,
that it is practicable.

either Mr., Tilden or his friends here, in

should be judicially Investigated and settled
once for all before tribunal in which the
rights of the accused and the aecuser will
be equally protected.
