In many Scotch families the old man
servant is permanent Institution. He
enters the service of family when he
is boy. sticks to his place, and resigns
only when the iniirmities of age are
upon him. Naturally he grows in time
to claim as rights what were at first
granted him as fayors. and if be is op-
posed asserts himself with a spirit Of
independence. An English paper tells
story illustrative of this.
\ lady's coachman-a crusty old fell
low who had been in the service of The
family in her fathers time-gave her
great trouble and annoyance on several
occasions by not carrying out her in
structions. At length his conduct be.
came unbearable, and she determined
to dismiss him. Calling him into her
presence. she said with as much asper-
ity as she could command:
Il cannot stand this any longer
John. You must look out for another
situation. You will leave my service

amusement for a minute and then the

Investors ought TO be satisfied with
n low rate of interest in agricultural
investment on account of its relative
safety. As yet it is 4 little soon in our
history to expect that the new agricul-
ture of the future shall have any spe-
cial attractions for capital But the
time will come when all of our old
depleted lands will be regenerated and
revived. through the era of invested
capital There is very little chance for
any regenerative work in agriculture

man must either keep to the skimming

has put by enough to be a capitalist

Most and Least Profitable Crops


Out of al correspondents of the
Board of Agriculture sixty-two called
potatoes the most profitable, and TWEEN
ty-seyen called them the least profit
able; eight called corn the most profit
able and sixty-loar thought it the least
profitable; forty-one consider hay the
most profitable; thirty-two apples; ten
oats; seven tobacco; seven cranber-
ries; six cabbages; six sweet corn; six
Strawberries; four each favored on
ions, tomatoes. beans and fruit; three
each peaches and pears, two market
garden crops and two asparagus; one
each or rutabagas. forage crops, eel
cry. milk. plums and root crops; nine
thought hay the least profitable; seven
tomatoes; six apples; four each said
squashes, cabbages and sweet corn;
three each milk, cranberries and beans;
two each said onions, pears and GU
cumbers. and one each asparagus,
grapes, caulihowers. beets, melons,
peas. small fruit and market garden
crops; sixty-two considered the season
to have been profitable; eleven as
above the average for profit; sixteen
as an average for profit; eighteen fair
~ profitable. and thirtyseven thought
it had been an Improbable one. Thus
it will be seen that much depends
upon the location, and more perhaps
upon the individual as to the profit on
crops. In nearly every country corn
and potatoes were less than an aver
age crop, but the loss ON amount in
potatoes was largely made up by the
high prices.--Massachuse Plough

Shaker Dairyiur.


The Canterbury Shakers of New
Hampshire have some 1000 acres of
land, and the community numbers
about 100 persons. A large quantity
of dairy products is consumed by a
family of that size, and some years
ago with an ordinary dairy and meth
Ods, some butter had to be purchased
for home use. That necessity caused
more attention to be given to the dairy.
Poor cows were sold and more scien-
titic methods of feeding adopted. In
order - further improve the herd and
increase It's butter capacity, two thor
ougbbred Guernsey bulls were pur-
chased about four years ago from Mr.
MiXter's, of Barre, Mass. BY constant
care, and the raising of the best heifer
calves, the dairy has steadily imprOy
cd, until last season, with n dairy of
forty cows. fifteen OF which were two
year-Old heifers, an average of 300
pounds of butter per COW was made.
Instead of purchasing butter for home
consumption $1,000 worth of butter
was sold and 81 600 worth of stock.

During seasons when hog cholera is
prevalent it has been noted that what
are known as the creamery and dairy
sections of the country suffer much less
from the disease than those sections
where the steer takes the pla,2 of the

pigs IN the dairy sections get good
