"He was accused by Mr.. Norton Of
insulting his wife and himself in the
streets Of Seville.'' This charge was
denied by DR.. Lejero.
"What was the nature of the in.

A roar came from the audience, and
General Cordoba shouted: "Custom OF

Mr.. Norton at this point began to

WHY WOMEN C
II Is in the Management OF
Farm Eairies They Are More
Patient Than Men.

p. b. Crosby speaks i; great truth
when he says: Not long ago, while
visiting Il friend, the cows were driven
up 10 water just at dinner time. The
master asked who had told the boy to
drive the cows up, and the mistress
said that she had. The COWS. she said,
had 20 stay in the field all day without
any water, and the milk was falling off
i'll consequence, and she had told the
boy to bring them up every day to water
at dinner time. instantly thought of
several innovations on this farm in
spircd by the mistress ofit. all of which
were to the betterment of the dairy,
and it occurred to me that there would
be very many better diaries in this
country if the better half of the farm
were to do mere managing. y man usu-
ally has not the patience to attend to all
the little details of dairying. and It is
inst the same little details that make
for success. But Il woman has the
requisite patience and when she has a
mind to manage The dairy it is far bet
ter if she does it. l know of one man
who taught his wife all she knows
about butter making, and she now
makes a better grade of butter than he
did, because she has the patience to at
tend to all the small items that he in his
lordly manner skipped.-Dakota Field
