The Strangest Dinner.

Perhaps the most remarkable dinner
on record was that given by an anti
quarry named Goebel, in the city of
Brussels. At the dinner were apples
that ripened more than 1900 years ago
bread made from wheat grown before
the children of Israel passed through
the Red Sea, and spread with butter
that was made when Elizabeth was
Queen of England The repast was
washed down with wine that was old
when Columbus was playing with the
boys of Genoa. The apples were from
an earthen jar taken from the ruins
Of Pompeii. The wheat was taken
from a chamber in one of the pyramids
the butter from stone shelf in an
old we'll in Scotland, where for sever
al centuries it had lain in an earthen
crock in icy water, and the wine was
recovered from an old vault in the civ
of Corinth. There were six guests at
the table, and each had a mouthful of
the bread and a teaspoonful of the
wine, and was permitted to help him
self bountifully to the butter. there be-
ing several pounds of it, The apn1e lar
held about two-thirds of a gallon. The
fruit was sweet and as finely favored
as if it had been preserved but a few
months.

be on hand so that each COW
may have all she will desire,
and when she wants it. writes John
Gould in Country Gentleman. We have
been through little experience of this
kind, and the quantity drunk by each
COW was found out. 1t is an expert
ment one will not care to follow up
more than a week, before the faucet at
the big tank will be turned, and the
COWS drink out of the basins again. The
trial was made with six COWS, and it
was found that the average quantity
consumed daily varied with individual
COWS from 70 to 40 pounds. One cow
drank this last quantity daily right
along, and some the smaller quantity,
with All average of 80 pounds each.
Another thing we found was that some
or the COWS would drink very often, j.
e., their buckets would be frequently
found empty, and others drank at long
er intervals; and one COW wanted about
all her twenty-four hours supply at
one time, and would only drink a little
towards night. AS these cows were
being fed so pounds each of ensilage
a day, it is seen at once that succulent
food did not play any important part
IN the economy of drinking water. 1t

When at last we come to calculate

Horses Decreasing.

The large majority of farmers who
own horses seem to be quite anxious to
get rid of them, even at low prices.
Where the farm is mortgaged, and the
horses can be- spared better than any,
thing else on the farm, this is all right,
as it is better to lose the horse than the
home; but where it is not, we regard it
as very unwise and foolish, says the
Kentucky Stock Farm. In a country
like ours, where one extreme follows
another, it is not wise to float with the
current or follow the herd. From 1880
20 1890 we bred entirely too many
horses of all classes, and as a natural

plumage of the Blacks is glossy black
throughout; the Notified Zig. 81 are OF

and sickles, and the balance of the
plumage is evenly mixed with white

Dominiques.-Simil in plumage
of the American Dominique and
Barred Plymouth Rock has been the

LORD NELSON'S KINDNESS.

A Charming Anecdote Showing His Re-
markable Human Fellowship.
Capt. Mahan, in his Life of Nelson"
Just published, claims the following as
an original story sh(I7ing the inherent
kindness of the great sailor. The Fleet
letters had just been sent off, when
Nelson saw a midshipman Come up and
speak to Lieut.. Pasco, the signal Off
Ger, who, upon hearing what was said,
stamped his foc. in evident veXation
and uttered an exclamation. The adj
mira], Of whose nearness Pasco was
unaware, called him and asked what
was the matter.
Nothing that need trouble your
lordship,' was the reply.
"You/are not the man to lose your
temper for nothing" rejoiC ed Nelson.
What was it,"
well, if you must know, my lord, I
will tell you. You see that coxswain ?"
pointing to one of the most exacting
of the petty officers. 1--WE have not a
better man on beard the Victoria, and
the message which put me out was this.
I was told that he VAS so busy receiv-
ing and getting off the mc:lbags that
he forgot to drop his own letter into
one of them, and he has just discov-
cred it in his pocket"
Hoist the signal to bring her back"
was Nelson's instant command. "Who
knows that he may not fall in action
tomorrow? His letter shall go with
the rest'' And the dispatch vessel was
brought back for that alone.

or newer breeds have seemingly sup
planted their favoritism There is no
reason why this should be so, as they
are practical and good general-purpose
fowls. In size they are about like the
Plymouth Rocks, but differ in general
symmetry and appearance. They are
good layers and do well in winter, and
for table purposes they make nice
eating. They mature early, are good
sitters and mothers, and are easily
kept in confinement. There are three
varieties OF Javas Black. Notified and

seen than the others, though the Mot

was also found that the desire OF cow
for water was about an hour after eat
ing, but the evening thirst was never so
great as In the morning. With some
of the COWS there was some variation
in the quantity Of water consumed
daily, but with others it was as steady
in quantity as standard measure. In
this there might be some variation in
results from some other herd not so
cared for; these COWS being continuous
ly stabbed at the time of the expert
ment, while herd that ran outdoors
more or less might show different re-
suits. In another thing I was con-
WINGED, that COW did better that
drank several times a day, and so con-
WINGED was I of this, that watering
system for the COW stables was put in
several years ago: and my opinion of
their value has never changed, more
than a more thorough belief in their
promoting the milk flow; and if Our
COWS were to be turned out every day
for exercise, should not connect out
door drinking with it, but hold to the
manger water basin. In this connec-
ton there is another point I think of
Importance, and that is in stable water

Sitting Sitting hens never
get fat. In fact, with some of the per-
sistent sitters of the Asiattc breeds
the semi-starvation to which they ex-
pose themselves is, perhaps, better for
their future as egg producers than
high feeding would be. Still it is not
best to let this starvation go too far.
The hen will not eat nor drink much
but if feed and drink are offered ear1v
in the morning, some of both will be
taken. We never feed a sitting hen
anything but wheat, and do not give
very much of that. It is more imnor-

opinion upon the fact that everybody

there were six years ago. This can
not possibly help but produce a great

can have but one effect-namelv. tn in

to begin to manifest itself inside of the
next two years. The produce of mares
bred this season will not be four wears

Cruelty to a Horse.

A sad case of cruelty to a horse
has come to our notice. A teacher
at a certain educational establish
ment is the owner Of horse which
objects to being tied up, and tries to
break away from the hitching post.
To prevent this bad habit the owner
when tying the horse, made halt
turn with the hitching rope around
tho lower jaw Of the horse and care
lessly passed the rope over the
tongue OF the animal.
In its struggle to get away the
horses tongue was seriously LAGER
ated but after while the wound
was apparently healed, when the
owner again adopted the method"
aud the tongue Of the unfortunate
horse was SO frightfully injured that
it became necessary to amputate the
member,
We understand that the society
for the prevention OF cruelty to ami
mails has taken the matter up, and
that the owner OF the poor animal
will be held to answer for his action
which, we have no doubt, is due,
rat her to ignorance than to inten.
tional cruelty.

Comments of the Press.

Japan will send another note to
Secretary Sherman concerning Ha
waii, which fact will perhaps sug-
gest to the Senate that it is high
time for the Legislative department
Of the Government to act and take
in the islands. Also, about three
more notes will make the Toxic
Government due to be answered by
a wsrship. japan has as much
chance of getting the islands as of
snnexing the moou-and about the
same title to them.
The New York Herald, which sent
Mr.. Nordhoff to Hawaii three years
ago to oppose annexation, is now
strongly in favor of the treaty.
Japan's wild pretensions have
wrought this change Of policy, and
they bid faiy to win for the treaty
a larger measure OF support in the
Senate than was counted upon at
the time President McKinley's plan
made itself known. Under ordinary
circumstances, where the issue lies
between a FREQ Hawaiian republic
and annexation, there may be room
for two opinions, but as between
taking the islande into the Union or
letting them go to an Asiatic power,
good Americans can hold but one.
