GENERAL WARREN,

he expected great things Of himself.
But England's confidence in Butler has
been shaken.
General Butler was known prior to
recent events as one Of the fighting
aristocrats. He gained the Victoria
cross and most of his reputation by
fighting the Zulus. He has found the
Beers a very different proposition.
Early in his career he won favor with
Lord Wolseley. This was during the
China war Of 1860. He also took part
in the Red river expedition and was
chief Of staff in the Gordon relief ex-
petition of 1884. But whatever pres
tige he ever had has been sadly DIM
med.
General Methuen's reputation, which
went down in that catastrophe on the
Modder river. was, it might almost be
said. a heritage. He comes of dis
tinguished family Of soldiers and dip
lomats. AS the heir to a peerage it
was a comparatively easy matter for
him to gain promotion when he went
in for an army career. His active serv-
ice consisted Of a few months during
the Bechuanaland campaign, when he

THE CoLoRADo BEErLE.

"A friend asked us recently if we
could tell what had become of the Col
orado potato beetle, which was such a
scourge to the potato crop few years
ago. 1t has not entirely gone, some To-
calities being still troubled with it to
some extent. 1t has, however, mostly
disappeared and is probably the vic.
tim Of some sort of parasite which al
most invariably follows in the trail of
these destructive insect pests. So well
is this fact in natural history now I'm.
derstood that upon the appearance OF
any new type Of insect pest about the
first thing looked for is its parasitic an.
tidote, and it is generally found.

Inasmuch as Lord Roberts, with
characteristic modesty, refrains from
giving any description in his book as to
how he won his Victoria cross, the only
reference to the matter being brief
mention in a footnote of three lines to
the effect that it had been awarded to
him, 1T may be just as well to state
That it was conferred upon him not for
one, but for several, feats of con-
spicuous gallantry at the battle Of kho-
dagange, during the mutiny. In one
instance he rescued regimental flag
from several sepoys, attacking them
single handed. and cutting two of them
down, the others taking to flight. On
the same day he rescued wounded
native officer from several sepoys, kill
ing one of the latter on the spot by
sweep of the saber, which split the
mans skull.
What has won for him more fame,
however, than anything else was his
march to kandahar. He had captured
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. aft
err the massacre Of the English envoy
there. Sir Louis Cavagnari, when news
was suddenly brought to him of the
crushing defeat Of General Burrows at
Maiwand, the routed forces. which
had lost their guns, being compelled
to take refuge in Kandahar, where
they were besieged by Ayub Khan.
Without moments hesitation Lord
Roberts started with force Of 10000
men from Kabul to relieve Kandahar.

in Egypt and the Sudan instead Of in
India. He is not a soldiers officer.
In fact, he is personally unpopular
with his men. but they have great
confidence in him, and when they
know he is planning things they are
generally sure that all will be for the
best, with victory at the end.
Kitchener is a second Moltke in the
machinelike precision of his calculat-
ing mind. He is a brilliant example Of
the scientific soldier, the ciyilizing, rail
road building, administering modern
Cesar and also the genius incarnate OF
military organization. He is known as
the general "who leaves nothing I'M
DONE" One of the secrets of his sue
cess is the fact that he always makes
1t point to master the vernacular of
the country or district in which he may
chance to be campaigning.
The brilliant Sudan campaigns of this
remarkable fighter are. of too recent a
date to be expatiated on here. Fifteen
years of hard work, 1t must be reniem-
bered, preceded his brilliant victory at
Omdurman. But in South Africa there
was no chance for preparation. He
finds nothing but fighting cut out for
him.

Daniel Dougherty of Cerro Gordo
county, Ia, planted an apple orchard
of five acres in 1873. All the tenderer
varieties of apples SO planted long ago
died, and probably not to exceed one
third Of the original trees are left,
these being largely Of Duchess and
Wealthy. Aside from the fruit used
by the family, he has sold from this
little orchard in the 20 years since the
trees began to bear fruit apples to the
value of $10,500, making an average
annual income from each acre Of the
orchard of $1O5, which has been nearly
all clean profit, as the fruit has been
always sold upon the tree.

From number of reports which we
have recently tabulated- 1t appears
that the average annual gross product
in cream or milk sold Of the average
COW is about S2S, or, put in another
way, she produces about 1856 pounds of
butter, which nets the patron of the
creamery about II cents. To this sum
should be added the value of her calf,
which will run from SIS to SIS, depend
ing on breed and care given 1t. There
are few dairymen who make these
figures $50 instead Of $2S and a still
smaller number who make their cows
show gross return in butter Of $40.
We believe that by proper selection of
animals for the dairy herd and proper
feeding and care this $2S may easily
be made $40 under average conditions.
One way to do this is to test each COW
in the herd and get rid Of those which
do not pay their way.
