been the most ridiculous and delightful
expose imaginable Of the incompetence
of our governing class. It was an abso-
lutte farce. The Crofters are now get
ting up a petition asking the House
Secretary to allow the troops to remain,
as they prefer their presence to that of
landlords and factors whose houses they
occupy. The troops spend money while
the landlords and factors only take it
away. says the petition. The only peo-
pie who have come we'll out of the affair
are the Crofters. Their attitude has
been dignifed; they have yielded where
it was inevitable, but they have given
up no essential of their agitation. Whilst
the military force is still in possession of
the island they have been carrying out
a determined "no-rent' policy. On
many estates the .Martinmas rents due
lin November last have been refused,
while it is certain That next Whitsuntide
their organization will be sufficiently
complete to insure non-payment of rent
throughout the island. They have thus
adopted a course of passive resistance.
Active and open resistance they feel
would be useless at present, and only in
one case will they use force. Some
eighty summonsesi Of eviction have been
issued from the sheriff's court for non
payment of rent. If it is attempted to
carry out these eyictions the tarofters
will resist to the death. at is better to
die fighting than to die evicted" say the
Crofters, and as they are men who abide
by their word, the government had bet
ter take warning in time. These two
determinations. to pay no rent and to
resist eviction, are the chief features of
the Crofters' policy. Hitherto they have
been kept back by politicians who told
them that they would lose the support
Of public sympathy if they we're too ex-
treme. But now they have grown tired
of waiting for public sympathy. No
landlord has a right to take rent and
give nothing in exchange, for it, is the
doctrine which is now being preached,
and the social revolution is advancing
rapidly in the Highlands. Something
more revolutionary than an Irish Land

sheriff vas horrifed by seeing "his own
familiar fnendp inoting the Crofters TO
adopt : no-rent manifesto. and TO boy
colt the landlords and factors. The
Crofters. though many OF them could
never have seen soldier before. paid
not the slightest attention to the troops.
and to the chaerin of the officials did
not experience any feeling Of awe. The
sheriff that evening called to him the
Scotch reporters and denounced me as 9
treacherous knave who under the glise
of London correspondent bad cIept
into bis confidence and as he pathetie
calIy observed @he did not know what
he might have told me-" The Scotch
men whom he had treated very cnrtly

Fate was unkind to the sheriff, for
when returned to the inn at Dunyegan

STAYED behind, a wagonette drove up
from which alighted two ladies and q

the English lady who had sent John

rials for novel she was about to write on
the Crofter question. AS Dnnyegan has

Deep Ploughing.

The Kansas Farmer contains the fol-
lowing: "When we pulverize the
soil deep the warm air, which is
full of moisture, penetrates down
and all through it, and the ground
being cooler than the air, condenses the
water into drops which answer in place
of rain; so the deeper and the more we
pulverize it the more moisture it will
collect from the air. Not only that,
but as warm air is rich in food for plants
it serves in place of manure, too.
Thirty years ago there was a terrible
drought in the east. Prof Mapes large
market gardner, had had his ground un-
derdrained and SUBSIDIZED, and his crops
where he could, were cultivated with a
subsoil pillow. A committee went to
see his place after nine weeks of drought
and it found everything as fourishing
as if there had been plenty of rain. His
corn lit was the Sd of September) was
estimated at ninety bushels to the acre.
while on land cultivated in the usual
way, near by, it was all burnt up.
While I do not think deep blowing is
everything, still L think deep and
thorough pulverizing of our land will
lessen the effects of a drought"

Farming Items.

According to conservative estimates
we have total of 8, 0OO,O colonies Of
bees, which annually yield 120, 900, 00C
pounds of honey.
Give all the animals little grain
each day, be it ever so little. 1t will
keep them in good spirits.
1t has been discovered recently by
medical men that "lump jaw" as it is
called, or Jumps found on the jaws of
cattle, are sometimes caused by decay
ed teeth. 1t is not known how much
the poor brutes suffer from the tooth
ache.
The Cincinnati Christmas trade had
a mammoth full-cream cheese 3 feet
high, 81 inches diameter, IA feet circum-
ference, weight 1858 pounds. 1t was
made at Central New York factory
from two days milk of 200 cows, cured
in forty-four days. and is said to have
"excelled the finest Holland" in rich
ness and flavor.
The Jersey Bulletin says that a real
test is not in the possibility of COW
making forty pounds of butter a week,
but in the ability OF COW to make the
most butter on a relative amount of
food; for instance, COW that receives
100 pounds of food should be compared
with one that eats a less quantity.
should govern all dairying,
manufacturing and other bust
ness operations. Such method of
testing would doubtless change that
now in use with advantage to Jersey
cattle.

First Confederate Impression Of
Grant

Memphis Avalanche Our first i'm
preston of the great general and great
smoker was, as prisoner, after making
the forced march Grants advanced
corps made to get around Lees army.
The imperturbable face, firm sit of sad
die, square jaw, massive lower face, I'M
lit cigar, as he sat and gazed moment
at daylight, as dispositions were max
ing, made an impression, although it was
later of the same day that it was known
that it was Grant.
After the surrender, Grant rode by,
accompanied by Washburne, of Illinois,
and some confederates. To some re-
mark, some gush, we suspect, by con-
federate, Washburne replied with some
other gush, which just at that gushing
moment of defeat, was thought to be
very fine sentiment, 81 am proud of my
gallant countrymen of both Sides"
The silent smoker rode without
word, his cigar still unlit, and perhaps
the same he had in the morning, still
between his teeth. There was an ap-
pearance of firmness about the man and
about everything about him. The cigar
seemed to be fast rooted in the man, the
man in his saddle, the saddle to the
horse, the horse to the solid earth. We
have never forgot the impression of
power, or that there was with it an ex-
preston of simple good will and kind
ness, which was as distinctive trait as
firmness without severity. OF the cigar,
we had never heard; but it made an i'm
preston. Grant is not all Grant with
out it.

Good and Bad Roads.

Professor Sanborn, of the Missouri
Agricultural College, points out the close
relationship between miserably crooked,
billy and soft roads and the losses in
farming, inclusive of the cruel wear and
tear and premature decay of teams,
breaking of vehicles necessity of drag
ging slowly small jags into market, the
value of which is largely absorbed by
the expense of delivery. Contrast these
discouraging conditions with those prev
alent in much of Europe over whose
solid thoroughfares immense loads are
more easily carried, and it will readily
be seen that the economic Importance
of good roads can hardly be placed too
high:
From the above tests the traffic
that will warrant a $4,000 outlay per
mile of unimproved roads may be APP
proximately estimated. If by prop
erly grading our hills and crawling
our roadbeds we can double the freight
carried per team, we could, on the
basis of fifteen miles per day for a load
ed term costing So per day, save the in
terest of this cost at 6 per cent in the
passage of 600 loaded teams one way.n
But the commercial view is not the
only one, nor, indeed, the most import
ant. Good roads are as necessary to
comfortable living as good houses, or
good suits of clothes, or a thousand 9TH
er things which our civilization demands,
and which cannN be measured by
money. As medium of social fellow
ship and culture Macaulay did not
overestimate their value when he said
Every improvement of the means of
locomotion benefits man intellectually,
materially, and not only facilitates the

Control by Kindness.

Two men were in adjacent fields to
bring home their horses from pasture.
One, with peck measure in hand, spent
an hour in cornering one horse and
taking him to the barn, when he went
back to chase the other. His neighbor
went to the gate, whistled loudly, and
his horses came scampering toward him
and in a friendly way began nosing
around him. A lump of sugar rewarded
their search, and taking them by the
forelocks the owner led them home
with ease. The little bit of sugar was
the secret in the one case; cuff and
club were that in the other. There are
men who waste large portion of their
time in chasing horses, cows-and even
the chickens when the houseN ife needs
one-and in trying to overcome by mis-
taken and injurious discipline the diff
culties in controlling their animals
which are produced by their own mis-
management.
Docility is worth at least $40 year
for every head of stock kept on an or
binary farm in the saving of time and

young. Colts should be trained from
the first to love their owner; calves
need patience and kindness when they
act stupidity, as is their way, but
their stupidity is soon got over, and
they will follow their owner and come
when called by name, if treated kindly.
A flock of poultry is trained in this way
by hand-feeding the chicks, and when
one needs to handle his fowls it is easy
to pick them up out of the crowd as it
presses around the keeper eager to pick
a grain of corn out of his hand. If you
go to New England fair and see the
trained calves and steers and ask the
boy who leads them how they learned
their lessons, he will tell you it was all
done by kindness, and not by the whip;
but if one has vicious horse or kick
ing COW you may be sure the whip had
al to do with it.-A Stockman.
