TOPICS oF THE FARM.
The Institute at Elk Grove Con-
cIudes It's Session.

The Farmers Institute at Elk Grove
concluded its session yesterday. The
morning session was opened by Senator
Doty in an address on Good Roads"
He said that much money was squan-
dered on patching up poor roads under
the system now in vogue, and strongly
advocated the building of all roads
hereafter with macadam. He spoke
disparagingly of the quality of broken
rock turned out by the county prisoners,
which is also expensive and not to be
compared with the blue rock from Fol-
som.
Professor Hayne of the State Uni
versity consumed the rest of the fore
noon in an address on "Olive Culture" :"
For picking he advocated the use of
the Mission olive, although he was
aware there are many choice varieties
suitable for the table He discouraged
the raising Of olives for oil, for the rea-
son that the cottonseed article, sold as
pure oil, costs but one-tenth as much
to put on the market, and will kill the
sale Of real olive OIL This could be
remedied by law. but it is not done.
At noon the farmers and their wives,
sons and daughters partook of a basket
lunch in Odd Fellows Hall.
In the afternoon Professor Hayne
spoke on up-to-date grape culture. He
urged all engaging in grape growing TO
set out only vines of the resistant kind,

Merely a Poet.

Lord Tennyson was frankly apprecla-
tive of his own poetic achievements;
nevertheless, his lively sense of humor
enabled him occasionally to enjoy in
Others a lack of appreciation OF the
high vocation of the poet, even when
coupled with lessened respect for him.
self. Delightful are the two little an
ecdotes of Tennyson's trip to Scotland
recently related by Professor William
knight, TO whom they were told by the
laureate himself, during visit at Far
ringford.
Tennyson had been staying at little
inn in the Isle of Skye. After his de-
parture another guest, who had recog-
nized him, inquired of the landlord If
he knew who had been staying with
him. and gave the name Of the poet
Tennyson.
Lori cried the landlord. in sur
prise, Ito think O. that! And sure
THOUGHT he was a shentlemanl"
AT another inn near Stirling simi-
lar occurrence took place.
'Do you ken who you had wP you
t'other night?" the innkeeper was
asked.
"Naa; but he was pleasant shen.le-
man"
1T was Tennyson, the poet
"An' wha' may he be?" asked the
landlord.
"Oh, he is a writer O. verses. sich as
We see I the papers,
moo, to think O. that! Jeest public
writer, an 1 gied him ma best bed
roomi''
However, there was consolation for
this bestowal of too great distinction
upon a mere poet in the fact that Lady
Tennyson. who was not public writer,
had accompanied her husband and had
quite won the landlords admiration.
After digesting his disappointment in
the poet laureate for moment in sour
silence. he was able to add, "Oh, but she
was an angel."

Mrs. Bancks, as she removed her street

Huh. What is il this time?" asked

Good heavens! 1t isn't a divorce

British RegimentaI Pets.

One of the articles in the January
number of the English Illustrated is
that on "Regimental Pets One of
the most favored of these was Bob. !"
the regimental dog of the Second Bat
talon Royal Berkshire Regiment.
Bob" accompanied the Sixty-sixth to
Afghanistan in 1879, and distinguished
himself highly at the battle of Mai
wand Though man after man was
cut down he kept on running to the
front barking fiercely at the enemy, un-
til at length a bullet laid him low. The
wound, however, was not fatal. After
a painful journey of six weeks, Bob
found his way to Kandahar, recognized
his old corps. and accompanied it once
again into action. When the regiment
returned to England the next year he
received great honor at the hands OF
the Queen. A year later Bob was
run over and killed in the Isle of
Wight
Jock" was the name given to a dog
who attached himself to the band of
the Forty-second (B1ack Watch. He
had a favorite trick of begging for
penny, upon receipt of which he would
trot off to the canteen and buy large
biscuit Once the canteen man thought
to get the best of him, and only handed
him a small broken biscuit in exchange
for his penny Jock made a great
fuss, running up and down the can
teen, howling and barking, until ulti-
mately one of the men gave him an
other penny. Immediately Jock
jumped up to the canteen, showed his
coin, and bolted out to the canteen OF
the next regiment, where his purchase
was duly made From that day he
tabooed his own canteen, and when
ever he got a penny only put IN an
appearance there to show his money,
and then took his custom elsewhere. II
all stories be true this one is also.

head of the regiment. He was pre-
sented to the battalion by the Queen
in 1894. On one occasion he took uHl-
bragg at the presence of volunteers so
close to his regiment and IN the course
of a rather contemptuous tour OF IN
spection came across the guard tent.
He proceeded to turn out the guard,
which he did very effectually. Then
he amused himself by charging and
sending the startled volunteers flying,
until finally the latter had to go for
him with the butts of their rifles and
brooms. In the end "Taffy' quietly
