John Loudon who, with the gal - halt General Searlett, was one of ihe first men to draw Russian blood in the memorable oharge of the Heavy Brigade at 13alae1ava, is art inmate of St. Pancras workhouse!. It was he who sounded the eharge of the "Heavies" on that glorioue morning when a mere handful of General Saarlatt's men moss - ed down "the o'er lapping Russian lines," after the manner of a reaping raachine. In an interview with a re- presentative of the London Daily Chronicle, Loudon spoke as follows of Lha awful collision between Gen, Scar- lett's three hundred. and the Russian line of thousands: " Well, I sounded the charge, and we then went for the Russians like tigers. I was stirrup to stirrup with the gallant General Soarlett when we plunged tato the enemy's line. It was neck and a neck- race between four of us eo see which would have the honor of the first onslaught. But goodness only knows who unhorsed the first of the enemy. Iknow that General Scat - lett was on a yery speedy charger, and I believe he won a very exciting race by decapitating the first Rus- sian. A moment after we crashed through the line I dropped ray bugle by my side, and the' I had to use the sword in earnest. I was wounded over the temple and in the right leg, which now troubles me periodically. But I did not know I was wounded at the time. • For a few minutes we were scattered like a flock of sheep, still we mowed away, now to the right, agaan to the left, twisting and turn- ing, thrusting and slashing. We made several avenues in the enemles' lines, through which we rode to the tally. "Soon alter the rally we heard that the " Lights ' were going to have •a . • : lchsualpgpreir,seyou had a good view of ih Oh, yes, until the 'Lights' disap- peared into a gulf of smoke from the Russian cannon. I was alongside Gen. Scarlett when he gave the order. 'The Heavy Brigade will support the Lights!' These were, I believe, his ex- act words. The Lights had then brok- en into a gallop and were close to 'The Valley of Death.' I sounded and soon myself and General Scarlett were some thirty yards in front of the ad- vancing squaarons. -Suddenly he turned around in the saddle, and exclaimed, " Why, the Heavies are retiring I Have you sound- ed Retire?' He was very much excited, I replied, `No, General.' We galloped I back and met Lord Lucan. It was he who had stopped the Heavies. As near l as I can recollect Lord Liman said to General Scarlett. 'We've lost the Light Brigade and we must save the Heavies, "Had the Heavies not been stopped by Lord Lucan what do you think would have been the upshot ?" "Oh, undoubtedly, we would have shared the same fate as the Lights, but we would not have troubled about tbat. We were just in the humour for another charge." Loudon helds several letters from famous warriors." "Eveay 25th of October," said he proudly, "until the day of his death I was always reminded of the charge by a letter from the gallant General Scar- lett. When General Scarlett died I loot the best friend I ever had. I have not a friend left now, and here I am at last in St. Pancras work- house!" sighed the old fellow. So he is ending his days with a pen- sion. of 9d per day -or at least the St.. Pancras guardians get it instead.

Now that it is knovvn, says aailin Gould, that milk does vary in fat Oontent with different dairies, and that the Milk of these herds never grows thin- ner, but grows richer as the period of laetation advances, it is as desirable that the patron should be paid for what his milk gains in quality as the season ailvances as that the milk -buy- er should make this bettisrment of the Milk a clear gain. It is notorious that tthe inial, lanhdo Ibisbrjngis s apoor doubmlemilk; tlo;ssandt he amount of butter and oheese made in the fall does not decrease in the same proportiou as does the quality of when i:hisathe se nianeDbinBSPta-ryeieSidhiinsgfighueil:dess with tlao k vo herankv in milk and fat he will see the costly mistake of ha.Ligcows that fail to pay their keep, and turn these all, feed the others up ta the limit of production and. recruit; his herd with better stock. There is no •gainsaying the fact that where milk is sold by the hundred pounds without regard to its quality, the buyer has a double advantage. He is basing his calculations all the time Upon the minimum quality of the milk and the supply of the best milk -fat herds above the average percentage of 'fat is his profit, and in the fall, when the milk is from 1-2 to nearly 1 per trent. richer in fat and at a greatly decreased gross weight the hundred - pound rule is still in force, and. he has another gain, at the expense of all the patrons. This may not, as a business transaction, be a dishonest thing, but it would be avoided if all the milk was tested for fats and the price of inilk based upon it instead of pawed& The • testing of railk puts a premium up- on good, ricli milk, and the incentive to sell milk low in fatsl-either na- turally so or because of coming into close proximity to a skimmer -is avoid- ed, for a pound of fat swimming in one hundred pounds of white fluid counts only one and. the one hundred pounds of milk testing five is credited with five times the value of the other, though the gross weight is the same, while by the one -hundred -pound sys- tem each mess would have been aver- aged. as three, two taken from the five and added to the one. The books of a creamery which pays for one hundred pounds of milk by its fat test is a case and well illustrated what I wish to were ee clear. The first fifteen patrons paid all Lhe way from 51 cents a hundred pounds, based upon the per- centage of fat, up to 83 cents. In this last case there WRS an actual paying of a premium of over 30 cents a hundred pounds for supplying this high-grade milk, which cost no more to produce than the other In cold figures the contrast is even greater fo • this 83-oent claire; gave, in round nt raters, 110,000 pounds of milk in the year which, at 32 cents advance, am - canted to a premium of $352. Anoth- er thing about it is that the herd giv- ing over.6.2 per cent fat milk was one of the largest producing herds ok the lot, but under the old plan their milk woula have been averaged with a herd that gave 3.80 per cent fat -an injustice that should. not be tolerated by any live farmer. It is a matter of com- merce, not unlike that of our farmers who would place four bunches of steers on . the market ranging from light scrubs to prime Christmas beef, with as wide prices, and, who, on returning home, should insist that all the mon- ey must be put into a common fund and then divided by- the number of steers. Has not the time come that dairy patrons everywhere should de- mand that they have the full value of their milk, and not share in a com- mon pool? There 10 a great chance for an exhibition of incxeased dairy know- ledge and getting out of the rut of general all-round average. s WATERING TREES AT TRANS- PLANT/NG. A correspondent says; "I have plant- ed, perhaps, a million of trees in my lifetime. I have met with but few fail- ures,and cannot remember having wat- ered anycl of these trees. If the soil is made thoroughly fine before plant- ing; if the soil about the roots Is pressed in very firm, as firin as a fence post, if the soil is left loose on the top, and kept continuously loose by cultivation, the trees will live even though the season may be dry." In con- nee.tion with this, it may be noted that, on one occasion within the experience of tlae writer, a large number of trees that had been planted in the' spring, and had. Zroven tolerably well, showed signs daring the following very dry summer of wilting their leaves for want of water. An examination seem- ed to Show that though the trees had been well planted in the common ac- ceptation of the term, yet the ea,ith • in many cases was not packed closely around the roots. It was not convet- lent to water them. The oven& was recommended to pound the earth ar- ound the trees With a heavy paving rammer. This was done. It is 'almost impossible to eoavey an idea of the f,orce used on this occaslen, A. force 'eras exerted, fully equal to that em- ployed by the regular rummers in pav- ing the streets. The earth being very dry was reduced to fine powder by this' process, and moisture dtaVen up - Ward by capillary attraction. In a couple of days • afterWardo ,there wea not the slightest sign or wilting, ta- t hoUgh no water had been applied, and they continued to grow witlaout any evidenee of suffering for want of wat- er until the next rain came, Had the soil not been heavily beaten in this way, their death would have been abso- lutely certain." THE USE OF LIMB. A large party of agrioulteral eted- ants recently held a "Field Day" at the country seat of Lord Roseberry, Dal- meny Castle, near Edinburgh, Scot- land. During their meeting Profes- sor Hunter, agricultural chemist, Ed- ingburgla, delivered an interesting ad- dress in whieh he made statements re- garding the use of lime and other fer- tilizers. During his remarks, he said: We are now working on bacteriological lines. The old idea was that when you ap- plied much it fed the plant. 'That theory is now entirely knocked on the head, because unless your soil was germ occupied you could not grow anything. The growth of plants was entirely dependent upon soil organisms. The different members of the legurainesem had little warts on the roots, without Whits/a you could not grow theee plants; however, you must; have other organ - isles which are co-workers, and with- out which it is absolutely useless to proceed. In a word, what they were driving at was not to weaken the plants, but to supply those orgauisms which they devoured. They must have lime com- pounds in the soil. If you do not real- ize that, depend upon it, you will fail. You have noticed in going ar- ound the plots to -day, that the nitrate were looking better than the sul- phate plots. That is extremely simple. It was because after undergoing the first change the soda was worth noth- ing. They were mixing nitrate and lime and the lime was bound to nurture their plants; but with sulphate they got better feeding powers. Nitrate of soda gave rise to a disease in horses not yet well understood, and potatoes and turnips fed on it will not keep. Great slaves are the micro-organisms If you, feed them you will get crops and make money where you were loos- ing. One of the great points to re- member is, that lime is fast disappear- ing from the surface soil, more ra- pidly than anything else; and it is as essential to put on lime as much as guano or anything else. These micro- organisms must have, and you must Maintain, those minute quantities of lime compounds in order to get their work. To add two 'tons of lime to the acre is the work of a lunatic; it is in- deed perfectly inexcusable to use a acre -five hundred -weight is quite suf- fdiroeieisusitn.g of ten hundred -weight per 1 WILL HUNT FOR AMBER. Mine Sald to Be on an island Oilf the Alaskan. Coast. • In search of a mine of amber, -which, if found, will make the members of the party independently wealthy, an expedition left Sitka a few weeks ago for one of the islands off the Alaskan coast. ,At its head was old Russian, Popoff by name, who for thirty years has been trying to get some one with money to send him In search of the amber mine. ails story is an interest- ing one. Some thirty years ago he was a sailor on board a Russian seal- ing vessel, which was wrecked on one of the small islands off the Alaskan coast. The crew managed to teach another small island in the schoonerts boats, and nearly starved before a Russian war vessel happened along and rescued them. While on the island they found quantities of amber and traced it to a big ledge. The pieces of amber which they had in their possession when taken on board the war ship were taken away by the officers. Pop- off managed to smuggle one small piece away and has hung to it ever $nce. • He tried many times to have an ex- pedition outfitted, but never succeed- ed. During the recent: mining excite- ment in the north he got as far as Sitio, where he beeame atranded. He confided his secret to a few friends and they furnished the money that outfitted the party. Popoff goes with them as guide and expects to be back in Sitka within six months. ICARTEKS rinc PILLS.

WOrk A1111011g the Poor Lepers at Paklael China —Propitiation. of Devils In Africa -Open Air Services in Mew Guinea - Cerement es, There can be no doubt that there is a peculiar fascination attaching to mis- sionary life in foreign fields. How could it be otherwise whet' our young men and women go forth into the wildest and remotest regions of the earth there to spend their lives in daily .and even hourly communion with heathens and savages of the very lowest type? Their adventures must be thrilling and the incidents in the daily routine of their lives of an extraordinary char- acter. In fact, this is so true that if the missionaries wrote about and pho- tographed everyehing that oame di- rectly under their notice they could not carry out their Master's work in the magnificently complete way char- acteristic of every one- of them. In India there are some yogis or fa- kirs, known as "holy 'men," who fre- quently put themselves under some perfectly preposterous vow with the object of acquiring ine'rit in the eyes of the gods, and thus being able to confer blessings -for substantial con- siderations-iupon the admiring faith- ful. A fakir has solemnly registered a vow in the holy city of Benares not to lie down, nor siL down, nor rest 'him- self in any way whatsoever as long as he lives. His fame and body are daubed with the gray ashes ,of burnt cow dung, and his hair will be seen to hang down in matted locks around his spare' shoulders.
