Worst, ' of the North Dakota Agricultural Col- lege, who recently spade a tour of the dairy countries of Europe, re- ports that in Holland the most re- markable of all dairy countries, the farmers support an astonishing number of caws on a very email area. In some eases the land is made to carry two or three cows to the acre. For tho entire iso country the land will carry a half to whole cow to the acre. The ordinary 20 acro farm carries 10 to 20 cows, with the horses necessary to do the farm work, and three sheep to each cow. • On the best soil the 20 acre farm will carry 20 cows, three to four horses and GO sheep, with the usual flocks of poultry. Thi$ means pas- turage and soiling for the animals in the summer and grains, roots, hay and roughage in the winter, The cows are the gigantic "black and white," known there as Fries- ian and here as Holstein -Friesian cows and their average ge P ro due tion for the country is over 9,000 pounds ce fine milk per head. Evidently the Hollanders must practice intensive farming and gilt edge of the most intense stripe. At all events such farming figures as those quoted cast a lurid light on the American 150 acre farm that carries at a loss 15 to 20 cows, several horses and no sheep or poultry. Tho Holland land sells at $600 to $2,000 per acre; while the Ameri- can land is rated at $5 to $'30 per acro. The tenant farmer in Hol- land pays a rent of $50 to $100 per acre and by intensive culture and bayonets, and if the demagogues have their way, peace may only be restored in London as in Warsaw. Those firebrands are goading the people on to deeds of unthinkable barbarism, and how near the de- bacle may be in our loved country "As 1 was saying, some forty—or But even Joel seemed to notice his thirty, I believe, is correct—some absent-mindedness, and locked at thirty years ago your lordship was him curiously. intrusted by the British Govern - "Is there any truth in Hare - castle's engagement to Ethel Feth- erston?" Joel asked himself, but he found that he could not make up his mind as to the answer to the question. After a while Harecastle excused himself and retired to his own room. He was utterly bewildered at his father's action in refusing to consent to so suitable an engage- ment, and he wracked his brain to think what could be annnatirg him in his opposition, but without suc- cess. CHAPTER V. The Earl was thankful to have been able to put an end to the in- terview with his son, for he rea- lized that the attitude that he had taken up must appear inexplicable. He decided to consult with Joel. Be did not intend to be absolutely frank with hiin, but merely to hint that there was a difficulty with re- gard to the projected marriage. He had quite forgotten the an- nouneement of a visitor, when Ack- royd was ushered into his presence. Be looked at him with indifference, and decided to get rid of him at the earliest possible moment, for he felt sorely in need of a rest after the strain of the recent strenuous conflict with his son.

The native exports over the Uganda Railroad last year from that part of German East Africa lying along the shores of Victoria Nyanza, 800 miles inland, were worth $790,000, the chief products being rice, pea- nuts, hides and wax. Very favorable reports come from the British colony of Nyassa as to the ability and willingness of the natives to work fax the whites. Sir Alfred Sharpe writes that there is plenty of native Labor during eight months of the year, but the supply is not at present equal to the de- mand during the four months when the blacks are busy plautiug and cultivating their own fields. Those employees who pay higher wages during the season of rains than at other times are seldom short of la- bor. The blacks aro so eager to get the best returns for their labor that last year nearly 12,000 walked hun- dreds of miles to the south of the Zambesi to obtain employment in the mines, The Colonial Govern- ment looks after their interests, fix- er the terns upon which they are permitted to work in the south, re- m what serves all their pay excepting v they require for their subsistence while away from home and pay's them the balance of their wages when they return.

This is the name of an acute fe- brile disease of childhood, one of the group to which belong scarlet fever, measles and mumps, It dif- fers from measles and other erup- tive fevers in that there is no rash, the local manifestation being a. swelling of the glands in the neck, especially in the front part of the neck! about and below Llo angle S le of the jaw. The disease is not of common oc- currence ; and this is rather curious fur it seems to be entirely contagi- ous, all the members of the house- hold, at least all under fourteen ar fiftten years, being affected when once the fever gets into a house. Children are the ones who suffer chiefly, infants in arms or very young children. Adults or those above fifteen years are not often attacked. The attack begins suddenly, usu- ally a weak or less after exposure to the contagion, with fever, o r actual sick - al Le la t Hess at the stomach vom- iting, coated tongue, constipation and a stiff nock.

The farmers, who are the shareholders of the creamery received $143,228 for their milk. That means an income of $7.1G per sow for milk, while the fertilizer produced by the cows, and the value of their calves either to sell or rear, swelled the average earn- ings of their cows considerably. THE BUTTER, MAKING. The oily flower that is found in so much of the cream -gathered butter is due to keeping the cream too long at, and churning at a high temperature, says an exchange. When the cream is cooled and churned at once this flavor is never noticed. It also helps to overcome the sour raricid flavors due to old tend over -ripe cream by getting the cream into butter as soon as pos- sible. By using the pasteurizer, the beet all round satisfaction is given, especially if the cream is not too sour or over -ripe and testing over twenty-five per cent. fat. Where create can be obtained un- der these conditions a pasteurizer certainly should be installed and used. A good culture is also essen- tial, but owing to the difficulty of getting skim or whole milk, and the extra care that a cream culture takes, few of the makers use one continually. The cream in the vat should be stirred often to get an even temperature and acidity. 11 left without being stirred, the cream around and next to the cold water and ice will be colder and thus develop less acid than the cream in the centre of the vat, which will be of a higher tempera - tare, tints not giving an exhaustive churning. DAIRY NOTES. Quebec is the largest producer of creamery butter of all the provinc- es in Canada. During the seven years, 1000 to 1007, Quebec increas- ed her production of butter by 26 per cont. and the value of her but- ter products by 48 per cent, In the san=e period, Quebec decreasecl her production of cheese by 15.37 but the value only decreased 0.87 per cent. During the year 1000 to 1907 the production of creamery butter in Canada inoreased 27.35 per cast. The value of the creamery butter made in' 1000 teas $7,240;972, as compared with $10,949,062 in 1007. in 1900 the average price per pound was 20c. and in 1907 24 cents, There warn four suint condensori- ee in Canada in 1000 as against sev- en in 1907, The value of the pro- duct of these conclenseries increased from $205,590 in 1900 to $910,849 in 1907. In 1900 the value of condens- ed milk imported into Canada was 13254,176. In 1907 the value of the imports was only $4,8.16. HOW TO LIVE 100 YEARS. Sir James Sawyer, an English. physician, has formulated the fol- lowing rules for prolonging life to one hundred years: 1. Eight hours sleep. 2. Sleep on your right side. 3. Keep your bedroom window open all night. 4. Have a mat to your bedroom. door. 5. Do not have your bedsteadt against the wall, 6. No cold tub in the morning, but a bath at the temperature of' the body. 7. Exercise before breakfast. 8. Eat little meat; and see that. ie is well cooked. 9. (For adults). Drink no milk. 10, Eat plenty of fat; to feed the: cells which destroy the disease germs. 11. Avoid intoxicants, which de- stroy those cells. 12. Daily exercise in the open air. 13. Allow no pet animals in your living room. They are apt to carry about disease germs. 14. Live in country if you can. 15. Watch the three D's—•drink• ing water, damp and drains. 16. Have a change of occupation. 17. Take frequent and short holi- days. 18. Limit your ambitions; and 19. Keep your temper. Hygienic Eggs.—Break your eggs in ordinary cups, set these in n pan of !pot water over the fire; have the water reach about half way up the cups, As soon es the egg is set eat from the clip.
