Lord with :. Record.
Philadelphia Times.

Lord oxford who has just died in Eng
land at the ripe age of eighty-one, once
ran away from Lady oxford with another
fair lady, to the great scandal of all Lon
don, but there were extenuating circum-
to the breakfast table with unwasl.ad
hands and help herself to sugar out of thu
bowl without regard to the sugar tongs.
Milford could not stand this. and departed
with another who. it is presumed, washed
her hands and used the sugar tongs when
needful. The abandoned lady happened to
and also, as it turned out, the sharpest,
for she never divorced her lord, SO that he
could not remarry, but lived for many
years under darker cloud than ever her
dirty hands made in the domestic circle.
AS Lord Oxford had the blood of Sir Hor-
ace Walpole in his veins, the prospect of a
most entertaining volume of memoirs is
already discussed by those knowing his
gifts in the epistolary direction, and this,
it is said, will be issued.

The Kamr Corns.

The red and white Kaffir corns seem
to approach very nearly to tho require
ments Of the arid land farmer for grain
and forage crop for stock. They require
somewhat longer season to mature the
grain than do the best varieties of
Dhoura, but when it is produced there
is more of it, it is better feed, does not
waste SO easily in handling, and there
is always fine yield of tho best of fod-
der to supplement the grain or mako up
in part for the lack of it.
OF the two kinds the red Kaflir is su-
perior to the white. It makes its grain
in about two weeks less time, produces
more largely, and the heads all come
clean out of the sheath. |he heads of
the white Kaffir are apt to have small
proportion of imperfect moldy grains at
the base, owing to the head not having
pushed clear out of tho sheath. The red
Kaffir corn is pronounced by those who
have grown and fed it for series of
years equal in all respects pound for
pound to Indian corn. 1t produces from
30 to go bushels per acre, yielding some
crop even under tho most slovenly neg
lect and responding readily to generous
cultivation and irrigation. Aoorrespond-
ent in Irrigation Age says present in
dications are that it is the feeding grain
crop par excellence for the seniarid
landa
