l Stories Of Lord SerathnaIrn When
He Was Devastating Central
India.
A correspondent writing Of the late
Lord Strathnairn, says he was the
most indolent, lackadaisical, languid
person whoever dawdled along Picca-
dilly.
When he was devastating Central
India, winning the splendid victories
that immortalized his name, he was
SO lazy that he could not 20 to die
tate the dispatches recording his own
triumphs.
Months elapsed before these docu-
ments could be extracted from him,
and then they were brief and meager
to the last degree.
One day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he
was entertaining gallant company
to dinner during the crisis of the
mutiny.
With the utmost sang froid he was
delighting those near him with one Of
his best anecd otes.
In the middle Of it his orderly enter
ed and, after saluting, exclaimed:
I'VE have captured 200 rebels sir"
To him the general turned, and
with that elegant court Of manner on
which he prided himself, serenity re-
piled:
1'Thank you, sergent."
But the man still remained.
Again interrupting the chief, he said:
"But what are we to do with them.
sir?''
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with soft
smile, chang them, of course" and
he resumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle OF another
story by the sergent, who came in
and said: "Please, sir, we've hung the
lot, SIR"
The general turned bowed slightly.
and IN the sweetest manner lisped:
Thanks sergent very many thanks, /"
and then went on with his anecdote as
II nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears of the
Queen and she was so angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

THlNGSlPREFERRED TO WEALTH

Few People Actually So Constitu-
ted as to Be Satisfied With 1t
Alone.
AS a matter OF fact, the chief inn
preston produced by great wealth.
even IN America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There are many things that people
really value more than wealth at any
time perhaps, thinks Harper's Bazaar
valuing wealth only as a means for
these things. In youth people prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth
is thrown away recklessly for the sake
OF such ends. After the maturer
tastes are developed, people have no
objection to wealth for the sake Of
other aims which it may promote,
but it is not q substitute for those
aims. The artist loves art, the man
OF science loves science, the student
loves study, the inventor loves inven-
ton, the domestic man loves home.
Even the man of action loves action
mainly as a thing attractive in itself.
He would readily accept wealth
as means of achieving his
other proposes, but he would not sell
those purposes for wealth. The proof
OF this lie that he does not, indeed, he
often impoverishes himself for,his own
pursuits. Beyond q very moderate
account" wrote Coleridge, II regard
money as a real evil" The man of
other pursuits knows that one can
not possibly be very rich and carry
on those other pursuits also. SO en-
crossing is the mere care of property,
and SO difficult and absorbing is the
wise use OF it. Many prominent
artist or author has been simply
ruined for the purposes for which he
was created by becoming heir to a
large estate; not that it demoralized
him otherwise, but it left him no time
for his natural work. Volumes have
been written on the suppression of
genius through poverty, but very little
has yet been said on the wrecking of
genus through wealth.

Useful Hints.


The following schedule sent out by
the experiment station of the Agricul-
tural college, Guelph, Ontario, con-
tains some useful hints in regard to
butter making:
/. We do not consider that we
know every thing about buttermak-
ing, as something new is being discov-
cred every month. N9t only from our
own work are we continually learning,
but also from the observation and re-
search of others.
q We do not keep a COW that
makes less than 200 pounds of butter
to year;
8. Nor put a COW on a starvation
ration;
4. Nor expect COW to make some
thing out of nothing;
5. Nor keep our COWS in. an ice
house, hog-pen or dungeon;
6. Nor allow them to go whole
year without carding or brushing
them;
z: Nor depend upon pasture alone
for supply of summer feed.
8. We do not allow the milk to
stand very long in the stable to alb
sorb foul odors.
8. We do not neglect to strain the
milk at once after milking;
10. Nor set the milk in deep cans
in water without changing the water
at least twice, or without ice;
IL. Nor mix sweet cream with
cream to be churned less than
IL hours before churning 1.-THE cream
is ripened in one vessel which holds
the cream for a whole churing);
IL. Nor add scalding water to the
cream; nor guess at the temperature
with the finger; nor take two or
three hours to churn;
13. Nor gather the butter until
the "dasher stands on top" and
then dip it out of the buttermilk;
Ia. Nor add coarse salt by guess;
nor work the butter into grease;
Is. And finally; we do not send
our butter to market wrapped in old
Rags that may have seen other ser
vice in the home.

Care Of Dairy Utensils.
In no other work is there as great q
demand for cleanliness as in the three
parts of the dairy business, milk, but
ter and cheese, says the American Ag-
riculturist. The most attention is
needed to maintain the cleanliness Of
the milk receptacles, such as pals,
pans, cans and churns. In the first
place there should be a sufficient sup
ply OF pans that those emptied and
washed in the morning need not be
used until evening or the next day.
After washing they should be placed
in the sunlight until used. On cloudy
days they can be thoroughly dried
about the stove and not nestled when
they are wet, and allowed to thus re-
main for several hours, as in that con-
dition they cannot dry, and when
separated at night they will give off a
disagreeable odor, and the warm milk
placed in them is certain to be
contaminated. All tin dairy uten-
sis should be first washed in boiling
water, then thoroughly rinsed
in clean cold water, and turned bot
tom side up to drain and dry until
again used. All vessels about the
dairy should be cleaned as soon as
emptied, and not allowed to stand
neglected for hours thereafter. The
shelves, benches and racks upon which
the pans are set should be washed
with soap and water every time they
are cleared. Even few drops of milk
allowed to remain on them to mould
or gum up with butter fat would
prove unhealthy, and detrimental to
the milk in the same apartment.
Where only few cows are kept the
same scrupulous cleanliness should be
observed. The surface of the butter
in the tubs should be covered with a
cloth saturated with strong brine,
both during and after the filling is
completed. Locate the filled tubs in
cool, dark portion of the cellar, ex-
anime once week, and if the brine is
found oozing through the slaves, it
should be wiped away and not allowed
to remain and stain the wood, giving
it most uninviting look.

Farm Notes.

TaSub MULES.
If you want eggs give your fowls
plenty OF good, wholesome food. Sue
! cessful poultrymen place much more
reliance in that than in patent egg
producing compounds.
If raising fowls for meat instead OF
eggs, you want the large breeds and
those that grow rapidly. These will
require lots of food, but they will use
it to good advantage.
Too much heat in an incubator is
just as bad as too little. It should be
kept steady at 1O3 degrees. Practice
maintaining an even temperature be-
fore you put the eggs in.
To learn any trade thoroughly re-
quires study as well as practice
head-work as we'll as hand-work. Our
boys should be taught that farming is
no exception to this rule.
Hyou have not already done SO, it
would be well to examine your gran
airy now and make sure that it is rat
proof. It will not pay to hold grain
| II the rodents have free access to it.
Millet is of very great value to. the
dairyman, when properly grown and
harvested. In planning for next
seasons crops try and arrange for a
field of it. II you have no silo, this
will to some extent make amends in
the winter feeding.
One or two acres of we'll selected and
well cultivated fruits will go far to-
ward supplying the ordinary house

to such purposes always makes an
appreciable addition to the cash in
come, and will repay the labor needed
to secure it.

Benefits Of Drainage.

It is never out OF place nor waste
OF time or money to drain wet land.
Without proper drainage, there can
be no surely successful agriculture.
In many cases too much dependence
il placed upon natural drainage. It
is doubtful if there is any soil that
can not be somewhat benefited by un-
derdraining. If dry, the drains let in
the air, from which the cooler earth
attracts the moisture, to the benefit
of the crop; if wet, they furnish an
outlet for the surplus moisture, and
this also benefits the crop.
For it is an undeniable fact
that either too little or to much
moisture is injurious. If too little,
there is no circulation of water in the
soil and the plant not only suffers
from thirst but starves for want of
liquid containing available food; if too
weak in nutriment to furnish suffi-
cient food, so the plant literally both
browns and starves, Hitherto very
little thought has been given to the
circulation of water in the soil; but it
is found that this is one of the most
important considerations in the grow
ing of a crop, and is receiving atten-
ton.
