others followed, and they rode back five
miles until they were within our patrolled
lines; then they bivouacked, supposing.

But he hadn't: he never Joined them all

his best to get through that strange
country by night alone, and had tried to
carry his dispatches to the detachment.
They knew they must tell a straight
story or be severely punished. They
were twelve against one when it came to
evidence, as the sergeant pointed out.

of this and swore they believed it true:

Cornet Maitland of the Lancers was to be
court martialed for misbehavior in face
of the enemy.
''Of course the old man only ragged at
first; said it couldn't be true; twas all
some foul invention or ridiculous blum
der; but he ran up to London and saw
somebody at the Horse Guards-that's
our war Office, you know-and came
back looking a century older and simply
crushed to earth. Mrs. Cowan says they
showed him the official report of gen
eral officer who was called upon TO ex-
plain why he had not sent certain troops
to the relief of an advanced and threat
ened post, and he replied that he had
sent the order by Cornet Maitland, of the
Lancers; had given him an escort of a
dozen men and strict injunctions to push
through by night, at all hazards, though
the way was beset with Zulus, and that

To make winter dairying profitable
COWS must have good warm quarters Il
keep them comfortable in cold weather
and be kept out Of the storms. The ole
way Of having them run ont into the
barnyard with no shelter but an open shet
which only a few OF the master cow
would go under will not answer. My
stables are in the basement Of my barn
and are so warm that it very seldom
freezes in them.
Of course cows cannot make much milk
withou. plenty of suitable food to make ii
out Of any more han the Israelites Of Egypt
can make brick without straw. In the
winter my cows in milk are fed a ration
composed Of one-half wheat or
buck wheat bran and the other half
meal made by grinding corn, rye
and oats together with equal parts, and
give each GOV about four quarts Of the
mixture both morning and night, feddry.
They would stand a larger ration and
give more milk, but the quantity men
toned is about as much as | find il profit
abAC w lSNu,
For succulent food in the beginning 70
winter, | feed pumpkins. My basement
will hold twenty or thirty loads without
encroaching on the o required for
other purposes and keep them without
freezing. If they are drawn from the
field before frost comes, and are care
fully handled and sorted, most of them
will keep sound until fed out. Last year
they lasted till the LIST of January. The
ripest keep the best; the green ones anC
broken ones are put by themselves and
fed first.
Each COW has a separate stall, wide
enough for convenience in milking. and
is tied with q rope, SO that she can move
about a little, rub her sides, and lick her
self # she wants to do SO, and all my
cattle are well bedded with straw every
night. They are turned out into the
yard every day for exercise and water,
and if the weather is not stormy or bit
terly cold, remain out about four hours.
In very cold or stormy weather they soon
manifest al unmistakabie desire to get
back into the stable, and are put back
as o o as they are watered.
have never tried warming their water
in the winter but have tried giving them
water just drawn from a well, instead of
creek water, and they exhibited a de-
cided preference for the well water-I
think because it was warmer, as the
creek water is pure and wholesome. l
would not care to have their water n
warmer than well water in the winter.
My cow have their bags, legs and tails
washed before milking, in case they get
smeared with dung, but are not carded.
If were afraid OF getting out Of work,
and feared that Satan would find some
mischief for my idle hands to do, then /
might possibly card my cattle. 1t would
do them no harm, if it did them no good.

COLLEGE, JOURNALISTS


One Of the most amusing incidents OF
recent date is the utter overwhelming of
the college Of journalism at Cornell uni
veristy by a bona fde order from the
New York World for a special dispatch
upon four hours notice. This Wanted
college of Journalism, of which the coun-
Try has heard 50 much, ia a large one.
The World. hearing that the 200
students Of the university had been
ordered 20 submit TO vaccination, sent a
private dispatch at 2 p. N engaging the
whole school Of Journalism 10 write an

fging that t|herepOrt must be Med at Z

This hoored the school completely, be-

New York Tribune: A recent dispatch
from Worcester, Mass. says that Ella
Chamberlain, the whistler, was prevented
from appearing at n concert at a theater
this Sunday night with the Boston Ideal
Banjo, Mandolin aad Guitar club. One
OF the local ministers objected, and the
mayor refused to allow the whistler 10
whistle anything but sacred music. Con
s~equently she did not appear" 1t seems
that the local minister did not object to
the low, religious PUNK of the banjo, the
sad, solemn zip OF the mandolin, OF the
deep, pious twang OF the guitar; but he
could not listen on Sunday evening "a the
