FARM AND FuREsIDE.

Make little land rich, and there
will be no need to scratch over largo
farm.
The question is not what could be
done if we had certain other things, but
what can we do to make the most of
what we have.

one that has been half starved.
When butter is gathered in the
churn in granular form, it, is never

in a large pan of water, and unless
there are stones in, the sand and stems
will all settle in the PAN If you
wash the currants thoroughly in this

The bones of a well-bred, well-fed
hog are said to present only about one
twentieth part of his gross weight. An
animal of this nature must necessarily
carry great deal of fat, but the impor-
lance of making it we'll muscled to
keep it from complete degeneracy is
self-evident to any thoughtful person;
hence. inasmuch as the natural tenden-
cy of the hog is to fat. feeders should
make it point to counterfeit the evil
by using the most nutritious feed to
the exclusion of fat-forming food.
1t would hardly pay the farmer to
engage in the poultry business beyond
the keeping of two or three dozen fowls
for family use. unless there should be
some one about the place who would
make it a special business to look after
the poultry and like to do it Some
times the service of good, steady boy,
WHO'S natural fancier, may be secured
at small cost, and all Of his time may be
profitably employed in caring for 2Ot
or 800 hens, or. if he be experienced
probably 500 or 900. In embarking II
the business it is best not to start ou'
on too large scale.

senator Rr.ran,. Sin. Hat.

It seems &c be considered incumbent up
on a United States Senator TO wear q silk
hat. Senator Reagan, of Texas, has con-
formed to the custom, much against his
inclination. During his service IS Con-
gresham he wore a SLOUGH hat, with q
broad brim. He had an affection for this
style of headge ar, and it was becoming to
him. But his new silk hat, which is sew
eral sizes too large for him and comes
down to his ears, is far from suiting his
style of beauty. 1t is glossy mistake.

APPLYING IN DETAIL TO THE ALLEeArioNs IN
GENERAL RApEAUs COMPLAINT

expLyrxo IN DETAIL TO THE ALLEeAIioNs IN
GENERAL RApEAU's COMPLAINT.
Ma Julia d. Grants formal answer 10 1cnerh
Adam Badesu's complaint, served yesterday anernoon
ON Stanley Clark Co., his attorneys, through nef
.ttornevs Seward Da Costa and Guthrie, throws no
~ ,rht ON the dispute and reerates, but does not
supp.eut the chief points made by Colonel Frederick
ID Grant IN his public reply. The answer while
probably the hrefeet document that the controversy
has vet evoked nevertheless OF considerable length,
and takes up the complaint In detail. The main al
lerassons therein made denied outright and in the
guarded phraseoogy Of the law, Mrs Grant denies
that she has any knowledge or information sufficient
10 form Q belief" as to others of minor weight.
The first specific denial Is leveiled at the allegation
that there was an express promise understanding
with the plaintiff on the part of General u S Grant
that be would never himself write history of his
campaigns II is admitted that many propositions
wcro made to General Grant to write and publish hs
Long Branch several occasions, but Mrs. Grant
denies that her husband said he would not attempt
to write his memoirs without General Badean's assist
snc or that he particularly desired the latter to keep
the agreement between them secret.
She also denies that the plaintiff mapped out and
planned the entire book and revised and corrected the
articles Shiloh vicksburg or Chattanooga; and
alleges that all the work which General Badeau did
any part Of the Personal Memoirs of General
Grant" was simply that of amanuensis Mrs.
0rent eoInitS tnab the piantlH occupied room In
General Grants house In New-York for about seven
months. dating about October IS. 1884, and
that during that time he was at work upon the
Personal Memoirs but she denies that the family
felt that General Badeau comforting an obligation
on them, or that they repeatedly urged him to per-
shade General Grant TO work when he was weak
ana disncnod to tho effort. The answer also denies
that General Grant voluntarily and without valuable
consideration assigned hs contract with C. l. Webster
Co. to her. but alleges that It duly assigned for
valuable consideration. She denies that she IN
formed by General Grant of the terms of an agree
ment between him and General Badean. and that she
approved and assented thereto although she did know
that the plaintiff was employed amanuensis and
to receive compensation therefor from the proceeds
Of the memoirs As TO the contract between General
Grant and General Badean she states that the latter
refused TO II out. that he asked extra paw that
any contract Of employment was waived and General
BadcaD was discharged
