word whispered on an Alpine slope may
precipitate an avalanche, and a suggestion
spoken by friend may start a man in an
honorable career. Sir William Napier. dis
abled by an incurable wound, and living on
half pay, was walking one day in London
with Lord LAngdale Napier had been dab
bling in painting and sculpture. and had
written for The Edinburgh Review an able
article on Jomini's great work on military
operations
The two friends conversed, while walking,
on Southeys narrative Of the Peninsula war,
then fresh from the press, and Lord Lang
dale was greatly struck by Napier's remarks
concerning the events Of the struggle, in
which he himself had achieved distinction.
Napier, what are you going to dor sud
denly asked Langdale.
do you mean where | am going to diner
answered Napier.
mo, no. What are you thinking Of for an
oocupationI You ought to give yourself to
literature Your article on Jomini proves
that you can write. Why not write his
tory Of the warf
Napier went home to tell his wife what
Lord LAngdale had said. He added that he
doubted whether he was clever enough to
write history Of the war. She believed in
her husbands talents, and was anxious that
be should take up some serious occupation,
and accordingly encouraged him to try He
did try. Day after day he labored at the
desk. His wife, though burdened with the
cares Of a large family, was his counselor
and amanuensis She deciphered the whole
Of Joseph Bonaparte's secret correspondence,
written in a cipher which had bafiied all the
experts who had undertaken to read it.
Il would have given twenty thousand
pounds said Wellington. on hearing of her
success, TO any person who could have done
that for me in the Peninsula
Five years after the cont ersation with Lord
LAngdale the first volume Of the History Of
the Peninsula War" was published 1t made

to read the book 81 one who had nohly rhared

Who has witnessed the wonderful achieve

The best results in dairy ing are .ecured
where good feeding is prac,iced the year
through. There are some pastures good
enoul h for profitable work without grain
feed, but average pas ures will give better
profits If small feed of grain be added.

but all of this must have some meal and
judgment added to it.
How much salt shall use in my butter?
Just as much as your customers want. Salt
iug depends upon taste. Butter makers use
from jests urine to an ounce per pound.
There is no preseIvative effect from salt in
butter IL is a matter of flavor The salt
that goes into butter should be of the very
highest quality.
Always speak to COW before you begin
to milk her. Don't take it for granted she
knows you are going to grasp her teats: she
may have her bead in the msnger, and when
YOU suddenly catch hold of the teats she may
jump or kick; then you may yell at her, or
perhaps stri.e her. That is the way to be-
gin the spelling of = good COW.
There comes a time, of course. when it
will rot pay TO feed meal If the balance is to
be struck daily. After a COW from natural
causes has shrunk down to small How the
addition Of meal to her pasturage will not
produce enough to pay the expense. So,
too. when COW is dry, or nearly so, she
will not pay daily for her pastursge or her
hay. The yearly cost must be set against
the income for the year. and when this is
done it will be found that those cows which
are fed all they need the year through will
pay larger income above their cost Of keep
ing than those left to scanty pasturage alone.
