ADVANTAGES of DRAINING Soil,

Concerning the subject of drainage,

incidental advantages II affords the
farmer. In the first place, it length
ems the season, because drained ground
dries and warns so much earlier in
the spring. 1t lessons tn" cost of pro
ductiOn, because the farmer can do his
work more nearly when it ought to be
done. He can keep ahead of the weeds
and be master of the situation. 1t

tramping by stock when wet. 1t pre-
vents injury to our crops by heavinS
of the ground by frost and by its
cracking open in drying. 1t does away.

Dairy Cleanliness.

Clean COWS. clean clothes and clean
dry hands for the mixer should be
the unvarying rule of every dairy.
Special milking suits should be worn
and frequently washed.
A small topped pail would prevent n
large amount OF dirt from falling into
the milk Pals, cans, strainers, cool
ers and every other utensil that comes
in contact with the milk should be
washed clean and stcriliZed. SteriliZ-
ing means heating to 212 degrees F.
1t may be done by boiling water or
by steam. 1t cannot be done by start
ing with boiling water in one can and
pouring it from can to can to clean
half dozen. The easiest way to do
thorough work is to use steam.-Agri-

His reputation for honesty In politics
Is n false reputation and Is based upon

heard Gladstone's triumphant an
nouncement that these men had that
day been clapped into jail. 1T Is idle

Gladstonian subtlety. From 1882 until

landed interest too severely. The To-

When Gladstone became premier again
in 1880 these outrages increased in
five years to 120S9. The Tory gar

In mastering details account for the
national enthusiasm over his annual
budgets when chancellor of the ex-
chequer. For five hours at II stretch
he used to make the endless tables Of
statistics as charming to hear as a
love story. Gladstone, like his foeman
the Earl of Derby, was a lover Of
Homer and wrote much about the
Homeric poems, but he has not been
accepted as an authority. Homer" he
used to say, was poetry making, reli-
gion making and nation making all
combined" Next to the Bible, he con-
sidered them 'the greatest works ever
composed" Homer, Dante and Shake
speare We're the greatest of all poets.
Theological study, says Hamilton,
was still greater attraction to him,
Bishop Butler being his favorite church
writer. He held Scott's Bride Of
Lammcrmoor" and "Kenilworth" to
be works Of such genius that no other
man than Aeschylus could have writ
ten the first and only Shakespeare the
second. The recreations of Gladstone
were few and simple, excepting his
tree Telling exploits, which were turn
ed against him as emblematical of
his hewing down venerable institu-
tions. Cards he detested from his hor-
ror of their gambling tendency. He
enjoyed the theater, loved music, used
to be good singer and violinist and
was always ready for a game Of old
fashioned backgammon. His piety
was innate and strongly impressed all
who knew him ultimately.
