Anecdotes Of Ben Butler.

Here is an anecdote that was told me
at the table the other day by lady
who said that her husband, though a
Republican, was going to vote for him
because he wanted to "give the old man
chance A plainly dressed woman,
evidently in mental distress, presented
herself at his law Office one day, and
his secretary, in the outer Office, told
her that the General was engaged inside
and could not possibly see her. "May
come to. morrow, then?' she tremu-
lously inquired. "No; he is going to
Washington tomorrow" She sat a
few moments, with evident reluctance
to yield her hope, and presently Mr..
Butler came out and passed through
the anti room to 60 to luncheon. One
of his shrewd eyes caught the timid
figure, and he paused before her and
asked her in rapid but kind words, if
she wanted to see him. "That is what
/ came for she said wh.stfully. Estate
your business very briefly, and l will
see what eau be done," he said, usher
ing her into his consulting room. She
told him sad story of conjugal sorrow
through selfish and tyrannical hus-
band, who had got from her the little
fortune left her by parents, and not only
did not support her, but abused her.
He said: "Now, madam, if / inquire
into this case, shall / find that you, af
ter all, are the one to blame Are the
facts exactly as you represent them to
me, aud have you been to him a good
and true wife ." ''God knows have
tried to be, and that all l have told you
is true" she answered fervently, and
drawing out $50 she said: ~ have. bor-
rowed this, to come to you with, and
I'm sorry it is not more; but do take
it, and see if you cannot set me free
from him" The General waved back
the hand which offered the pitiful sum,
and said: 81 will undertake your case,
but your money is no object to me- /
am not in need of it, but / would like
to help you" He returned in due time
from Washington, took hold of her
case, which was 30 clear that he easily
secured the divorce and recovered &c.
600 of her patrimony for her, and even
then he would accept no fee, neither
did he make any oyertures even of
friendship toward her, beyond mere
business-like humsuity-the humanity
of busy, absorbed, but not ungenerous
man. / have heard several anecdotes
of him here as favorable as this, and in
Washington he is known as a man of
great kindness to the poor and the de-
pendent.-Letter in Boston Journal.

A Dollar Profit on Each Hen.
Fannie Field In Ohio Farmer.

Fannie Field In Ohio Farmer.
Somebody wants to know if one
dollar per year profit from each hen is
good average. Where hens are kept
as the majority of farmers keep them,
one dollar per head ia quite as much as
the owner ought to expect and l don't
believe that the average farmer can
make one hundred dollars easier than
by keeping and caring for a flock of
one hundred hens. If he will do lit
tie extra in the way of housing, care
and feed, the hens will add at least fif-
ty cents to the average dollar. Why,
we have pullets that at present writing
December ll) have laid three dozen
eggs apiece since they commenced
laying the first week in October, but
they didn't roost in trees and live on
sawdust and gravel; they had a good,
warm house and plenty of food and
care If those pullets don't earn con-
siderable more than their "average
dollar" per head, before next spring,
I'll cut theie heads off, every last one
of them. And may as well tell you
that when fail to make at least three
dollars profit for each hen, duck and
turkey kept for breeding stock, I don't
brag much about my success in poultry
raising.

System is sure to tell, and heavily,
too, in farming, and the successful
farmer is the one who maps out, in the
winter, his whole campaign for the
ensuing season, When spring opens
he knows just where and how to com
mence, and it is not at all pushed with
his work. If all our farmers, who now
stake things as they come would only
look ahead little, they need not be
continually behind hand with their
work, as they often are when the
spring has only fairly commenced and
all through the subsequent season. 1t
may seem impossible to some to do
this planning successfully, yet little
experience will enable any one to do it,
with varying degrees of success and
we sincerely hope that our readers will
at once act on our suggestion, and thus
save themselves much annoyance and
trouble, as well az considerable useless
expense.

He Saw Life,
REMARKABLE ADVENTURES OF A YOUNG
MAN.


The following is recorded in the Bos-
ton papers:
The hero of the adventures recorded
below arrived in this city a few days
ago as a stoker on an English steamer,
but his case having become known to
the captain OF the vessel, he was dis
charged here, and doubtless is now en-
joying the comforts of his fathers home
in Central New York. 1t seems that
this young man graduated from a
prominent law school in New York
City in the fall of 1881, and, with
ample funds, furnished by his father,
and in the company of number of his
schoolmates, who were quite willing to
help him spend his money, started on
an extended tour among the "dives y
that abound in the metropolis. To the
best of his recollection, their tour oc-
cupied several days, and the last thing
that the young man remembers OF life
on shore was low resort in South
street, New York, where the company
was, in great part, made up of those
who go down to the sea in ships. His
next sensation was that of being tossed
and knocked about in a small bunk in
the close forecastle of some vessel.
Starting to bis feet and working his
way slowly on deck, he found that he
was indeed at sea, no land being in
sight. Sick. with the unusual motion
OF the vessel, and weak from long
debauch, he endeavored to find out
where he was and how he came there
The first mate told him that he had
shipped on the vessel in New York as a
common seaman, and that, if they had
good luck, he would find himself at
Port Said, in Egypt, in about sixty
days. He endeavored to reason with
the officer; told him he was not sail
or; that he knew nothing of the sea,
and that he had never voluntarily
signed the vessels papers. His pro-
testations were of little use, however, as
the bark, for such the vessel proved to
be, was short-handed, and every man
on board was needed to work her.
Knowing nothing OF the workings of
vessel, his position was a horrible
one. The trip across proved unusually
stormy, and by the time the vessel en-
tered the Mediterranean the abducted
man was in sorry condition. Arriv-
ing at Port Said, he was taken violent
ly sick with fever, and was placed in
the hospital, whence he came forth in
about a month almost a skeleton.
Having no money, no friends, and not
knowing what TO do, he wandered
about the streets OF this desert city by
day and at night he lay in his hammock,

Dry Cows.
Monthly Jersey Bulletin.

AontulJ Jersey bulletin
1t is common practice among some
dairymen to give their cows, while dry,
but scanty living. When COW ceases
to give milk, or is dried up, any food
is good enough for her. think that
this is great mistake, and the result
is diminished product of milk, both
in quantity and quality, when she does
come in. There is a large draft on
the system to sustain the calf while the
COW is carrying it, and to keep the COW
in good condition, good feed is as i'm
portant as when she is giving milk. 1t
is the opinion that 81 worth of food
when the COW is dry is worth $3.50
when she comes in. An animal in poor
condition cannot digest as much food
as an animal in good condition. If the
COW is poor when she comes in she will
not digest enough food to support the
system and, at the same time, to make a
large quantity of milk.
