A pAppER LITTLE WARRIOR.
Brave but Dumpy old Lord SaItoun, the
Hero of HOugomont.


In those long gone by days brave old
Lord Saltoun, the hero of Hougomont,
resided during the fishing season in the
mansion house Of Auchinroath, on the
high ground at the mouth Of the Glen
Of Rothes. One morning, some five and
forty years ago, my father drove to
breakfast with the old lord, and took
me with him. Not caring to send the
horses to the stable, he left me outside
in the dogcart when no entered the
house. AS waited, rather sulkily-for
was very hungry-there came out on
to the doorsteps o very queer looking
old person, short of figure, round as
ball, his head sunk between very high
and rounded shoulders, and with short,
stumpy legs. He was ouriously attired
in whole colored suit of gray, droll
| shaped jacket, the great collar of which
reached far up the back of his head,
surmounted by a pair of voluminous
breeehes, which suddenly frightened at
the knee l imagined him to be the
butler in morning dishabille, and when
he accosted me good naturally, asking
to whom the dogcart and myself be-
| longed, l answered him somewhat
shortly, and then ANONYMOUSLY suggested
| that he would BIO doing mo kindly act
If he would go and fetch me out hunk
Of bread and meat, for I was enduring
fortunes of hunger.
Then he swore, and that with vigor
and fluenoy, that it was o shame that
should have been left outside, called
groom and bade me alight and come in
| doors with him. demurred-I had got
the paternal injunction to remain with
the horse and cart 81 am master here"
exclaimed tho old person impetuously,
and with further strong language he ex-
pressed his intention Of rating my IA
Their roundly for not having brought me
inside along with himself. Then ques-
ton occurred to mo, and ventured to
ask, "Are you Lord Saltounf" "Of
course am, :" replied the old gentle
man WHO the devil else should
beY" Well, did not like to avow what
I felt, but in truth / was hugely disap-
pointed in him, for I had just been
reading Siborne's Waterloo and to
think that this dumpy old fellow In the
duffel jacket that came up over his ears
was the valiant hero who had held
Hougomont through cannon fire and
musketry fire, and hand to hand bayonet
fighting on the day of Waterloo, while
the post he was defending was ablaze,
and who had actually killed Frenchmen
with his own good sword, was severe
disenchantment Nineteenth Century.

A Humble Archbishop.

Willegis, a famous archbishop OF

caused the following inscription to be
placed conspicuously in his palace,
"Willegis, remember thy parentage, "
but had tho wheels of cart hung up in
the cathedral of Mentz. From that time
to this the arms Of tho sec have borne

Cottonseed Meal-soIa nenn NIeal.

A brief report on an experiment to
compare cottunsePd meal and sofa bean
meal ON two lots Of four cows each in
alternating periods Of three weeks comes
from the Massachusetts Hatch station:
The cows on the SOFA bean meal gave
rather the most milk. The cottonseed
butter was of firmer texture than the
other, but was, by the verdict of three
families working independently and
without knowledge of the nature of the
difference between the samples decided
ly inferior to that made from the sofa
bean cream. The latter was Of a higher
color and much more agreeable texture
and flavor. The cottonSeed butter had
greasy feeling i'll the mouth, while the
other was Of agreeable texture. A larger
percentage of the total fat in the milk
was recovered in the cream from the
COWS fed on cuttonseed meal than in the
cream from those fed ON bean meal. 1t
would appear from this experiment that
the SOFA bean meal is superior to cotton
seed meal rs a food either for milk or
butter production.

4 Cheap Paint.

A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses, while by no means
new, is yet so little known and so de-
serving of wider application as to war
rant a description, says an exchange
The paint has but two parts, both cheap
materials, being water lime or hydrau-
lie cement and skimmilk. The cement
is placed in bucket, and the skim
milk, sweet, is gradually added, stir
ring constantly, until just about the
consistency Of good cream. The stirring
must he thoroughly done to have an even
flow, and if too thin the mixture will
run on the building and look streaked
The proportions cannot be exactly state
but "a gallon Of milk requires full
quart of cement and sometimes little
more. This is convenient quantity to
mix at time for Uuepsrson to use. If
too much is lrera>ed, the cement will
settle and l.,t,den before all is used.
A fia.C paintbrush about inches
Wac IS The hest implement TO use with
fn'e mixture. Lay it on exactly as with
oil paint. 1t can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and
stone. When dry, the color is a light
creamy brown, or what some would call
a ycllowish stone color. This sllimmillk
cement paint, well mixed, without add
ing color has a good body, gives smooth,
satisfactory finish on either wood or
stone and wears admirably. Try it.

BARN CELLARS.


Maine Farmer Correspondent Gives
Views on the subject Saving Manure.
| regard barn cellars as indispensable.
Under no circumstances would | think
of getting along without one. With me
the first consideration is the making
and saving manure. and the value of the
liquid manure especially since farmers
are generally buying so much western
feed, is we'll known. 1t is true much Of
this could be saved by liberal use Of
absorbents. The farmers in the state of
Maine are few and far between who
Systematically use absOrhCnts the year
round in quantity sufficient to save the
most Of the liquid manure. Many intend
TO do it. Some do it when they get time.
If was called upon to state the greatest
loss the farmers of this state suffered
from any one cause. | should say the
waste of liquid manure and the teaching
Of the manure heap, both of which would
be saved by the use of Il barn cellar.
Sheds are often built over the manure
heap to prevent teaching. These are very
objectionable.
As the tie up is always supposed to be
built on the sunny side of the barn,
more and larger windows are being put
in to let in the sun, for the comfort and
health of the cattle. The windows of my
tie up are nearly continuous, and | find
| have made mistake III not making
them three lights high instead Of two.
Now a shed over the manure heap hides
the sun. Some Of my neighhOrs, whose
tie ups are on the south side Of their
barns have manure sheds. While most
of the time during the cold weather, i'll
the day time, my tie up is light and
warm from the Groat amount Of sun
shine, theirs are always dark and damp
With me this is also an important con
sideratiun.
Many Of the objections to barn cellars
arise from tho fact that 50 many such
cellars are taultily constructed. Sunlight
and ventilation are as essential to the
barn cellar MS elseV here. Large windows
and enough Of them should let in the
sunlight. Thorough drainage should
keep the cellar perfectly dry. And it is
an easy matter to ventilate it if it is
properly constructed.

Glover seed is cheap in a number Of
localities. Unfavorable weather for the
past three OF four seasons has killed
many clover meadows and pastures.
New England farmers must grow this
crop largely to keep up the fertility Of
their soil, consequently if there should
be reasonable amount Of moisture next
March and April u large acreage will
be seeded to this foliage crop and the
demand for the seed be very great. This
suggests the possibility of an advance
in price therefor. The New England
Homestead suggests the wisdom of Sc
curing clover seed now. If drought
should continue, making much seeding
impracticahle next year, the seed Will
keep all hight if properly stored

The Broom Corn Crop.

large broom corn crop has been Sc
cured i'll the three states where com
mcrcially grown The compilation of
reports sent to The American Agriculture
ist points to Il total acreage of 200, 100
acres, or more than double the area Gull
tivated i'll 1889, as returned by the CEN
sus, yielding Il crop of 81, 600 tons, COM
pared with 1900 tons i'll the census
year. There has been decided shifting
of the center Of broom corn culture and
IA material increase i'll production. A
few years ago Illinois was the leader,
but now Kansas has taken the first
place, the crop i'll the western part Of
the state being found more reliable than
any other similar crop in the dry dis
trict. Kansas is credited with l4l, 900
acres, Illinois, 30, 800; Nebraska, 20, -
600; other states, 5000.
The average rate of yield per acre
i'll Kansas was $50 pounds; Illinois,
S25; Nebraska, 375; average for entire
country, $40. Broom corn growing,
years ago quito an important industry
in portions # New England and The
Mohawk valley, has moved rapidly to-
