AN EDITORS LIFE SAVED BY
CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH
tPENEnv

During the early part Of October,
1896, 1 contracted a bad cold which set
tied on my lungs and was neglected
until l feared that consumption had ap-
peared in an incipient state. I was
constantly coughing and trying to ex-
pei something which I could not. I
became alarmed and after giving the
local doctor a trial bought 4 bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
result was immediate improvement,
and after I had used three bottles my
lungs were restored to their healthy
state.-B. s. Edwards, publisher Of The

May Turn Night Into Day.

A New Orleans architect has advanc-
ed the novel idea that within the next
fifty years the people of every large
southern city will do most of their
sleeping by day. The reason of this
Is the increasing cheapness OF artifi-
cial light and the peculiar climatic con-
ditions of the south, which make the
night the coolest and most comfortable
time to work. The author of this idea
claims that darkness is one of the
forces of nature against which civili-
cation wages war; that it facilitates
crime and impedes travel and puts
arbitrary limits on human e~xertion."

London, Feb. 1O.-General Buffers
third attempt to reach Ladysmith ap-
pears to have failed, like the two pre-
vious ones.
This mornings news includes a def
mite and apparently trustworthy dis
patch from the Boer head lager. out
side of Ladysmith, to the effect that
the British at 9 o'clock on Thursday
morning had abandoned the captured
position at Vaal krantz. after sustain
ing a heavy bombardment, and retired
across the Tugela river.
The war office has received no con-
firmation OF this. In fact, it was ex-
plicitly and officially stated last night
that it had received no news at all re-
lating to General Buffers movements.
There is, however, apparently little
reason to question the accuracy Of the
Boer dispatch, or to doubt the general
statement of facts, as the Boer tele-
grams have been generally correct
hitherto.
Mr.. Balfour said this morning in the
commons, in answer to a question that
the information received by the govern
ment indicated that General Butler was
not pressing his advances from the po-
sition which he still occupied on We'd
nesday.
There are other statements from va
rious sources which would seem to in
dictate that General Butler had found
the Beers very strong at this point of
attack.
Bennett Burleigh, in his story of
Tuesdays fighting, said that the Boer
guns were SO placed as to absolutely
command the low ridge called Vaal
krantz, and also the valley between
that kopje and Doom kloof.
An agency telegram Stated that at the
close of Tuesdays fighting, after Cen
eral Hildyard's brigade had relieved
General Lyttleton's army, the Beers
were on both sides of the British and
the position was a difficult one to hold.

treat-Boer Dispatches Receive
Credence in London.

London, Feb. 10.-This dispatch from
its correspondent is published in the
Daily Telegraph:
Headquarters Camp, Springfield
Bridge,-During Tuesday night the b.
ers c%unningly rushed forward and set
fire to the grass, by the light of which
they employed their rifles, maxims and
cannon in a determined assault upon
Vaal krantz. But H%ildyard's brigade
repulsed every attack. A shrapnel fire
was directed at Jul lines between IL
o'clock and midnight. Our loss was
one wounded.
Wednesdays bombardment was the
severest yet. The Beers mounted a six
inch gun in position, and also brought
two 80 Founders and three pom poms
to bear against us. The latter we could
deal with, but the others were beyond
the reach of our guns, except the naval
4.7-inch guns and five-inch siege guns.
General Hildyard held his ground
splendidly, but unfortunately the enc
my's big guns upon the mountains
could not be silenced by either the ma
val guns or the siege guns. Shells from
the enemy's cannon even fell among
our force in the valley.
Only at greatest hazard, with need
less risk, could General Butler have
forced his way through, and he decided
to face the wisest alternative and not
insist upon an advance hat way. l
ask you to suspend judgement and re-
ly upon Butler.

CLEANING BY STEAM.
The Only Absolutely Sure Way of
Keeping a Creamery in Whole
some Condition.

A Canadian dairy instructor says:
am sorry to say that the creameries
of Canada are not being improved as
much as they should be, particularly
in the way of equipment and santa
ton, OR in providing suitable store
rooms which can be held at low tenn
perature for storing the butter in. A
great number of the summer creamer-
les are being run on the cream gather
ing system. This necessitates an
abundant supply of cold water which
is oftentimes allowed to run over the
floor, or in open cutters, and has a
tendency to keep the room damp and
prevent the churn and butter worker
from becoming dry, and the result is
that they soon become foul smelling.
The remedy for this is to conduct the
water away in pipes, and also attach a
hose and steampipe. After the
churn is thoroughly washed, close the
lid and insert the end of the hose in
the buttermilk outlet, and then steam
thoroughly for 20 minutes. The in
tense heat will destroy all germ life,
and leave the churn dry and clean.
This is also an excellent device for
steaming the butter worker and uten-
sis, and also the cans or tanks used
in drawing the cream.

bashful hoy, ashamed of his great
length of legs and body. He had
never been more than ten miles from
his country home in his life, and at
first it seemed that he never would
be more than butt for the jokes
of the worldly-wise men of the com
pany In a few months he began to
broaden physically as well as intel
lectually, and in our first battle he
distinguished himself. He was pro-
NOTED to corporal, to sergeant, to
lieutenant, and in the last year of
the war to captain, and he was one
of the very finest officers in appear
ance and in fact in the regiment.
''When he returned to his home in
Indiana he went to work on the old
farm, believing that he could work
off the soldier fever which was i'm
polling him to return to the army.
One day, standing in the bank of his
county town, he noticed a young man
who seemed in great distress of mind
but who came forward to draw out
of the bank $500. In explanation, he
stated that he had been drafted, that
his mother had been left to his care,
that both his mother and his wife
were sick, and that if he went into
the service he would probably lose
both. On the advice of the old family
physician and of his friends, he had
decided to hire substitute. He said
that such a course was against his
impulse, but in accordance with his
cooler judgment.
eat this juncture the captain
stepped forward, explained that he
had no mother, nor wife, no great
interests at stake, no fear of a sol
dier's life, and that he would gladly
go as substitute for the young man.
He declined to receive the $500, and
it was returned to the bank. He
went into the army again as plain
John Richards, and served to the end
of the war as a private in one of the
new regiments, telling to no one his
previous experience as an officer. I
always felt that the man who could
do that sort of thing would succeed
in life. And he has, beyond most of
his fellows

BRIEF DAIRY NOTES.

Remember that the milk should be
cooled as promptly as possible after
it is drawn from the COW. Cool and
aerate thoroughly, in order to prevent
the milk from retaining unpleasant
doors.
Ice water will chill and kill as well
as fill the COW, and the thoroughly
chilled cow cannot secrete milk free
ly. The dairyman who forces his
cows to drink through hole in the
ice in winter should not expect a good
flow of milk from the cows.
The milk cows should have album
dant supplies of water. Milk is rs
per cent. water, and that fact shows
how necessary water is to the COWS.
Moreover, the very fact that so mucL
water must be drunk by the COW
indicates that the water should not
be much below the temperature of
the cows body.
Artificial ponds are not liable to
contain pure water. Such ponds are
generally located in natural depres-
sions on the farm, and into such de-
pressions there is sure to be more
or less drainage of filthy water. If
the dairyman deems it necessary to
have such ponds, he should at least
fence them in, so that the stock can
not turn them into filthy wallows and
sources of disease.-Farmers' Voice.

tain, but the record of his latest
service showed that he served in the
last few months of the war as an
enlisted man. This was beyond dis
pute, and people were very curious
to hear an explanation. The captain
himself declined to make any. AS he
stood up six feet three inches in

the wooden leg. 81 was serving in Gen.
Steedman's division Of the reserve

rs fits, and the line was beginning to

the men of the corps, splendid soldiers

it. The flag was coming Slowly back
with the men, and in a few minutes it
seemed certain that the whole Line
would be in retreat. Just then Gen.
Steedman. a great, broad-shouldered
stalwart man, came riding up. He saw
that the line was wavering and rode
straight for the color bearer. Seizing
the flag in one hand he turned around
and faced the retreating men. He had
a voice as big as his figure, and what
he said sounded clear above the rattle
of the rife fire.

but the flag can't go with you
''Then, without waiting to see the
effect of his words, he turned again
and rode straight toward the entmy's

Nutrittxe Ratio in Food

Cows give trif1e more milk when
receiving some succuIent food, such
as roots and ensilage, but practically
the same amount of butter or other
milk solids. We select the cheapest
foods and so mix them that. the cow
gets about one pound Of carbohy-
drates. If we should feed much
wider ration, that is, one that con-
tanned more carbohydrates and car
bohydrate equivalent than the
amount stated, she would gradually
lay on fat, shrink in milk, and failure
to breed would probably follow; but
when the above mentioned nutritive
ratio is maintained, no such difficult
ties are encountered.-Prof Hacker,

Tbe wor1d,s Grain Crop..

A synopsis of the estimate of the
worlds grain crops made by the Hun

the total production as follows: Wheat,

rye. 1852, O96, 900 to 1895, $50. OOO bush

900 bushels: and maize, from 2, us, 108,-
600 to 2,s14, 900 bushels. Surprising
the countries the crops of which are
included in these totals to be the same
that were covered by the Hungarian
estimate of year ago, these figures are
higher than those generally accepted.
