CHAPTER IX.
(Narrative of John Easterling, F.R.C.P.,

Having given the statement of Israel
Stakes in extensor, I. shall now append
a short memorandum from Dr. Easterling,
710w practising at dtranraer. It is true
that the doctor was only once within the
walls of Clomber during its tenancy by
General Heatheretone, but titers were

me, Is -it not enough that my wife has
been ruined? When is it all to end?
Bow long am I to endure it?"
"Hush, dear, .hush!" said hie wife in a
soothing voice, passing her cool hand
over his heated forehead. "This is Doc-
tor Easterling, from etranraer. Ile has
not come to harm you, but to do you
good,"
The -general dropped wearily bnek up-
on his pillow, and 1 could see by the
changed expression of his face that the
delirium had left him, and that Ile un-
derstood what had been said. I slipped
my clinical thermometer into bfs iu'mplt
and counted his pulse rate. It amounted
1e.. 120 per minute, and his temperature
proved to be 104 degrees. Clearly it was
m case of remittent fever, suchas octant
in men who have spent a great Part of
their lives in the tropias. "There is no
danger," I remarked. "With a little gain•
iue and arsenic we shall very soon over-
come the attack and restore his Health."
"No danger, eh?" he Bald. "There nev-

Mrs. Heatheretone left the room-ra-

down by the bedside t0 listen to anything
which my patient might have to com-
municate.
"•I want you to examine my liver," he
said, when the dor was closed. "I used

with the result that I raised not only my

which wan arranged over some object

"All right, doctor," the general Bald

accidental the incident was. "There Is no
✓ eason why you should not see it," and
stretching out his hand he palled away
the linen covering for the second time. I
then perceived that wbat I had taken for
a bride cake was really an admirably
eveented model of a lofty range of moun-
tains, whose snow -clad peaks were not ate
like the familiar sugar pinnacles and
minarets.

"And this." said I, indicating a blood -

out -"this is the scene of some fight !n

"Tea, we had a skirmish there," he an-
swered, lashing forward and looking at
the red mark. "We were attacked by--"
At this moment he fell back upon his pil-
low ere if he had been shot, while the
same look of horror came over his face
which I had observed when I fleet enter-
ed the room. 3t the same instant there
came, apparently from the air homed!-
ately above his bed, a sharp, ringing,
tinkling sound, wbich I can only compare
to the noise made by a bicycle alarm,
though it. differed from this in having a
distinctly throbbing character. I have
never, before or since, heard any sound
which. could be confounded with it. I
etaeed round in astonishment, wonder-
ing where it couldhave come from, but
without perceiving anything to which it
could be ascribed.

and endeavoring to elicit eom° further
particulars as to his past life and hie
present circumstances, I wan destined,
however, to bo disappointed; for I receiv-
ed that very evening a note from the
general himself, inolosing a handsome

that my treatment had done him so much

attracted attention in Parliament.
He has probably said more witty
things than any of his contempor-

one occasion he described a bill
as "the offspring of a headache at
the Irish Office," whilst he declar-

Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman
as Chief Secretary was an attempt
to govern Ireland with Scotch jokes.
One day he convulsed the House

parties in this House; I'm one of
them," and there was a bit of per-

Speaker "sat on the pounce to

How Concrete
,Work Was Made
Easy For You
This Label io your assurance of
sali$faclory concrete nosh
.h�Tt,:,tr+<HN,Yrter:h•:-rv'?:'SS
UNTIL a few years ago fanners considered concrete a rather
mysterious material, that could be used successfully only by
experts. They knew that upon the quality of the cement
depended much of the success of concrete work. They had no
means of -testing cement, such as big contractors employ, and so could
not be sure of its quality.
Yet the farmer needed concrete.
He was kept from using this best and most economical of materials by
1. Lack of knowledge of how to mix and place concrete,
2. Lack of a brand of cement upon the quality of which he
could absolutely rely.
Canada Cement
6s supplied both these requirements.
We employed men to make a thorough investigation of the farmer's
requirements; to find out where and how he could use concrete with
profit to himself; to discover all problems he might come across and to
solve them. This investigation was expensive. But when it was
completed we had the material for our campaign to show the farmer
how and where to use concrete, -:and we printed a book, "What the
Fanner Can do With Concrete;' for free distribution. That book
makes every farmer who reads it a concrete expert, as far as his needs
are concerned. He finds that there is nothing mysterious about coa-
crete—that a kw simple rules supply all the knowledge required.
At the same time we met the farmers' second objection—inability to
fest the quality of cement—by producing cement of a quality that
does not need to be tested.

Prod tieing Sanitary Milk.
It is not easy to say just what is
the most important feature in the
production of clean milk, Special
stress may bo placed upon some
particular step, yet if carelessness
is allowed to rule at other steps
=eh of t110 most painstaking caro
would count for naught in the, final
results, writes Mr. I. H. Frandson,
Clean and sanitary conditions are
factors of fust importance upon
which too much stress cannot be
laid. It is impossible to produce
good milk or good cream if dirt of
any kind is allowed to get into it.
Unless some precaution is taken
at milking time, dirt and dust will
be sure to fall into the milk from
the flanks and udder of the cow.
The greater part of this filthy mat-
ter dissolves in the milk, giving it
not only undesirable odors and
taints, but also inoculating it with
bacteria.
These germs may have been gath-
ered from stagnant water, muddy
pools or inirey yards, While the
majority of them may not bo dis-
ease producing or especially harm-
ful should they be transmitted to
the human system, yet, to say the
least, they are factors in bringing
about decomposition of. the milk.
Filth and disease germs go hand in
hand ; the same carelessness that
allows the one is likely to give ac-
cess to the other. Bence it is of
the highest importance that the
cow be kept as nearly clean as pos-
sible. This can be accomplished
largely by brushing off all the loose
dirt and dust from the flanks and
udder, but, if at all convenient, it
is even better to wipe the udder
with a damp cloth, This will take
but a moment and will prevent
large quantities of filth from get-
ting into the milk.
The milker interested in a pure,
wholesome product should insist on
wearing a special suit while milk-
ing. This suit neer not be a white
one, but such a one has the advant-
ages of at least showing when it
has become soiled, and further-
more, if the milker is to keep it
clean he will soon be forced to keep
everything about him clean. The
warm milk as it conies from the
cow offers a splendid medium for
the favorable growth of all kinds
of bacteria which may gain access
to it. In order to lessen this de-
velopment milking should be done
as carefully and quickly as possible
and the milk strained through a
metallic strainer Do not use a
cloth strainer, for even under good
conditions this soon becomes a hot-
bed for bacteria, Milk bottles are
frequently returned from homes
where contagious diseases exist. To
prevent the spread of epidemics the
important work of washing milk
utersils should not be intrusted to
little children.
Scoring the Seeds Tao Deeply.
More seeds are probably killed
by sowing or covering too deeply
than too lightly.
It is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with a quarter
or over half an inch of soil.
Thousands so deeply sown per-
ish, germs either never collie t0 life
at all or are quite unequal to rop-
ing with such a weight of covering
of earth.
Only the larges seeds of vege-
tables should be sown to a quarter
to one inch depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds
may go underground two or three
inches, het the smaller vegetables
and Sower seeds can hardly be cov-
ered too lightly provided they are
covered.
It should. alw▪ ays be borne in
mind that deep sowing ruins more
seeds than any other fault or mis-
take,
Hints for the Hoe Raiser.
Comfort is cheaper than corn.
Pigs eholtld never be fed on the
ground in a yard or pen where their
own excrement abounds. Changing
from place to place in the pasture
does very well in the summer, but
in the winter a good feeding floor
should be provided. •
Never compel hogs to sleep in
straw stacks, manure piles or any
place where they will come out
steaming and sneezing in the morn-
ing,
Good care :means good breeding,
good .feeding, -constant watelifulnoss
tr, small details and filially mark-
eting at the right time to geb the
most dollars.
We cannot grow pigs `profitably
without feed enough to keep 'them
gaining steadily.
