Defects Of Mixed Husbandry.

bandry" as the safest and surest path for
the average farmer to pursue. Ten years
ago commenced farming without expe-
rience on virgin soil. "Mixed husbandry'
was my motto. That is, l bought few
COWS, few hogs and span of mares, in
tending the latter for double duty,-rais-

running round besides. l planted corn,

WAITED, A sCAPEGOAT.

1t is custom sanctioned by long usage
that when an official blunder has been
perpetrated some subordinate must suffer.
There must he a scapegoat. 1t is not
well that high officials should suffer.
Public confidence would thereby be
weakened. Great men are too scarce to
be sacrificed by reason of any foolish act
they may have committed. There are
always plenty of small fry to be offered
up to popular Indignation.
The leading papers of England are
very generally of the opinion that this
position of scapegoat has been thrust
upon Lieutenant Carey in the matter Of
the killing the young Prince by the
Zulus.
The Court of inquiry into his conduct
throws ali the blame of the disaster upon
that officer. The Court declared that
the Lieutenant "did not understand the
nos1tion in which he stood to the Prince"
and that the selection of the halting place
"showed Iamentable want Of prudence" ]"
From the statement Of Quartermaster
General Harrison it appears that al
though the Prince held no official posi-
ton in the British army Lieutenant
Carey was instructed to defer to him in
all matters pertaining to the reconnoi-
sance, that he, the Prince, "might have
all the credit" attending the result Of
the expedition. 1t is now attempted
to make Carey responsible as the com
manding officer of the escort.
The only really serious or plausible
"fnding" against the Lieutenant Is that
emo effort was made to sally the escort"
This assumes that the officer knew in sea,
son to save his life that the poor Prince
had met with casualty that placed him
at the mercy of the sayagcs, and that a
sally of the escort and an attack upon the
swarming enemy would have resulted in
ANYTHING but massacre of the whole ex'
pedition. The facts and the proof before
the Court negative these assumptions.
