Lord o'Hagan is starting in the
dairying business in large way at
his estate in Essex, Pyrgo Park. Iho
prenises have been inspected and APP
proved by the local authorities. LORD
O'Hagan will find himself in competl-
ton with several of his noble colleagues
when he brings his butter and mllk
to the London market. Inc most SUI SUI
cessful of the peers at the business mas
been Lord Hampden and the Glynde
creameries have quite a national repu-
tation. Lord Rosebery not only sup
plies a big wholesale west END store
with his dairy produce, but MS kltcn-

The earl of Stradbroke also has a large
creamery trade from ms SuiLolk

When Mr.. Balfour pleaded for the

wholly with the owners OF the Kltcnen
gardens which surround LONDON put
was thinking perhaps of his brother-
in-Iaw. Lord Rayleigh, and the other
peers who by experimental scientlnc

There has lately been a vote in the
postal service which has created some

going the rounds that all those VINO

thirstiness impelled him to buy two
bottles of beer might have found hin-

In fact there are those who say tnac

teetotalers. who wished to prevent the

Whatever the truth of these stories,
the fact remains that both sides claim
to have gained a victory.
King Manuel ii, who succeeded TO
the throne of Portugal on FEBRUARY l
Of last year. after the assassination OF
his father King Carlos 1, has accepted
a personal invitation from King Ed
ward To pay a visit to England, and he
will leave Portugal with this intention
in November. King Edwards letter
was a personal autograph one, coucned
in the most cordial terms ana is
anticipated that King Manuel III VIII
while in England reside at Windsor
castle for a fortnight. King Manuel's
visit to King Edward will be the first
he has paid to any foreign sovereign
or country since his accession to the
throne.
Cordial Friendship Exists
The fact that England Is thus to be
visited is significant of the sincere
friendship that has existed between the
two nations for so many years, and
was specially accentuated during the
lifetime of King Carlos by the journey
which King Edward made to Lisbon In

King Carlos had paid to England IN
the previous November.
It is also noteworthy that King Eds
wards stay in Lisbon was the starting
point of the series OF state visits that
marked the early years of his reign.
King Manuel is now in his twentieth
year, having been born on November
is. 1889. He is the second son OF King
Carlos, and succeeded his father when
the latter, together with the Crown
Prince Luis, was assassinated in the
streets of his capital February l, 1908.
The young king has had an anxious
time since he ascended the throne
eighteen months ago, but ;t is generally
conceded that affairs have improved
