Grim story of Napoleon.

A grim story of Napoleon is told by
Christian Was in a Frankfort review
under the title Of Napoleon at Yafa."
A great number of the soldiers were
-3cwR with the plague, and one day
Bonaparte sent for his chief surgeon,
Larrey IF l were you," he said to
him, II should put our plague patients
out of their misery. 1t would save them
from having recourse to opium to
soothe them" But my duty is to make
them live" replied Larrey. Bonaparte
then revealed the grim truth. He and
his staff were reduced to travelling on
foot because the horses were all being
used for the transportation of the sick.
He must therefore either abandon the
plague stricken to the cruelty Of the
enemy or get rid of them. Mr.. Was
maintains that the order was carried
out accordingly. There is an end, OBJ
serves the Journal DIES Debats, to the
illusion of the famous picture in the
Louvre Of "Bonaparte Visiting the
Plague Stricken Soldiers at Yafa."

should make his last will and wisely

TIE CARE OF A ChuRN.
Perfect Cleaning Necessary to Keep
Id sweet.

ID sweet.
Nothing about the manufacture OF
butter is of greater Importance in its
bearing upon the quality of the prod
uct than the condition of the churn
writes Michigan dairywoman in Ma
tional Stockman
Since the old time stone churn with
its dasher has been retired to give
place to the modern one made of wood
increased carefulness is required. else
offensive odors caused by imperfect
cleansing appear which affect the fla
vor of the butter. In the first place, if
the churn is to be kept sweet and clean
1t must not be permitted to stand and
dry out after it has been emptied of
buttermilk, but it must be cleansed at
once. Neither must the buttermik be
left in it even for short time, as wood
absorbs and holds tenaciously oil or
greasy matter, which speedily becomes
rancid, imparting a faint impossible to
remove by ordinary methods.
When preparing to churn, scald the
churn, which we will assume to be one
Of the popular barrel forms. Cool it
with fresh water from the well and
pour in the cream. After the butter
has been churned and taken up dash
cold water into the churn to remove
whatever buttermilk may adhere to
the sides, then pour in boiling water
In sufficient quantity for the size of it.
Put the cover in position and turn the
crank so as to dash the water VIC
lently from end to end of the interior.
The cork must be loosened to allow the
steam to pass off as soon as agitation
begins and again after a few further
revolutions. Neglect to do so might
result in blowing out the cork. After
turning the crank for a minute or two
hook the churn and take off the cover.
With stiff scrubbing brush reach all
places likely to escape the action of the
hot water, but never use a rag. nor
is 1t necessary TO use soap or washing
powder of any kind. The hot water
cleanses and purifies, and all other de.
tergents are best kept from contact
with any churn
When the water has been drained
away turn the churn bottom up and
hook it In that position without the
cover Leave the cork out and thus
provide for a circulation of air, which
prevents anything like mustiness from
appearing Never wipe the inside OF
the churn. 1t will dry of itself after
the hot water is removed

A strnnre Thunhcrstorm.

1t was a strange thunderstorm that
struck Suffolk, England, Aug. 4, 1877
According to Holinshed, the tempest
of lightning came through the wall of
Bllborough church and went a yard into
the ground, knocking over twenty peo-
pie and killing two. Then it came up
again, mounted the steeple by way OF
the vestry door, broke the bells and
darted off to Bungay, six miles dis
tant. There, according to another
chronicler, it became a fiery black
dog, which dashed between two people
kneeling in church and broke their
necks and clawed another man on the
back so that he was presently drawn
together and shrunk up, as it were, a
piece of leather scorched in hot fire."
Claw marks remained on the door to
prove the reality of the black dog.

Cooking Fish In CIny,

"The natives of the north woods
have more appetizing ways to cook
fish than any other class of cooks in
the world, believe" said a Tomah
man.
1.-The universal favorite, however,
seems to be the clay method The fish
is wrapped in the clay without having
so much as scale rufiled by the
cleaning knife. He is not dressed, and
the only seasoning is a pinch of salt
placed in the mouth. When the fish is
done up in the clay the package is
placed in the embers of the campfire
to bake. When it is done the clay is
cracked open, and the scales of the
fish are found to be sticking in the
clay, and the head is then broken off.
The delicate flavor of a fish cooked In
this way cannot be described. Some of
the cooks have habit of cutting a
long cash along each side of the dorsal
fin and inserting a slice of fat bacon.
This adds greatly to the flavor of the
fish. milwaukee, Sentinel.

The dairy business cannot be learned
even if one does read all he can about
the business. Reading about the dairy
and running the dairy are two differ
emit things. There are things we must
practice before we will learn them.
Milking Is one of the things; we be-
come expert only by practice. One
who can start and milk a steady gait
will have better results than the one
that milks fast, then slow, then fast
again. We must learn to milk steady
gait and as fast as It is possible for
us to keep 1t up till the COW is MIXED

experience before me can feed sue

the quantity she wants we must learn

have the self milking habit, be kicker.
a breachy cow or hold her milk and not
let II come down as she should or
some other habit that would make her
an Improbable COW. The safest way
Is to raise the dairy herd by careful
selection of dam and sire, and using
only the very best milk strain to be
had.-From Address by A. III. Harris
Before Nebraska Dairymen.
Object of Pure Breeds.
The highest object of pure breeds is
to improve the common stock. The
faster 1t can be done the greater the
benefit. The dairy tests disclose to the
practical dairymen the best blood for
their use. The show ring only indi-
Gates where typical members Of the
breed, not necessarily those Of greatest
dairy capacity, can be found. But when
people 60 into the dairy business for
the sake of profits, and not for the sake
Of simply going into dairying. then
there Is no longer an alternative. You
have but one course to follow. You
must have a specialized dairy animal
and accord her that treatment which u
part Of and inseparable from her make
up. You must feed her literally Of
suitable feeds. give her kind and gen.
erous treatment. place her in warm,
well ventilated stables and never ex-
pose her to any conditions that would
excite or discomfort the animal.-John

The Word "I.anaan y

What is the derivation of the word
London" The usually accepted one
is the Celtic "Llyn-Din," or lake city,
referring to the historical fact that tho
city was built on river that over
flowed at full tide and half surrounded
1t. Other philologists have derived 1t
from "llawn" (fulD ana 'dyn" IMAM.
others again from lion" "a piain) and
dun" Ia hilD. But the derivation Lun-
Den, or grove city," seems more prob
able than most of these. The name
occurs in wooded parts of Scandinavia

Silos In Summer.

The use Of silage in summer to sup
plement short pastures or to take the
place of soiling crops is a practice
gaining favor rapidly as the price of
land is advancing and the scarcity of
farm labor becomes more and more
keenly felt. 1t is much easier, quicker,
cheaper to go to the silo for a feed in
busy August days than to go to the
field for soiling crop. The silage is
equal If not superior to soiling crops
for milk production.-Bul Wiscon-
sin Experiment Station.

food of grazing animals is grass and

sylvania dairyman in Rural New

still gesting good milk fow. In 1904
I built 12x27 foot silo of yellow pine
costing S135. Last winter my cows
gave a more regular flow and larger
quantity of milk than ever before.
Even during the coolest weather they
did well.
