Lieut.. HoDson receives as a reward for
his gallant and daring conduct at San

grade, or from No. 10 to No. . in the list
OF naval constructors. This gives him
the relative rank of captain, instead OF
that of lieutenant. and leaves only four
men between him and the chief construe-
torship. which carries with 1t the relative
rank OF rear admiral No one will deny
that Hobson richly deserves his reward;

learn something about chickens. just
go into a chicken house any night and

Whether the nearby chickens object
to this barbarous habit l don't know.
but there is never SO much noise IN

Holding Up the Milk.

This is a peculiar vice and one af-
fected by many cows. Indeed, there is
scarcely n herd in the country that
does not contain one or more cows
that are given to the habit of hold
ing up their milk. Such cows, as a
rule, arc possessed Of highly nervou
organization. They are quite apt to
take a prejudice to certain persons as
mixers, or if spoken to harshly they
can easily be thrown into this unfor-
tunate state of mind and body.
The easiest and surest remedy for
such a habit that we have ever tried
Is to set a palatable mess of food be-
fore the COW when we set down to
milk her. Her mind is at once diverted
from the act of milking, and she let's
down the milk naturally and freely.
This one fact of holding up the milk
should teach every dairyman the i'm
portance of looking ut the cow in all
of her treatment, from the mental or
eryou standpoint. The rvo sys-
TEN is the great governing factor in
all maternal functions, and a coarse,
british mar who cannot see the force
Of this truth has no business to handle
