We milkodtwenty-five cows last season and

eighteen °elves. I could not whili for any-
thing better than this."
"Why do I need to go to the trouble that
raised farming involves," said a young far-
mer from the County of Wellington, On-
tario, "when this land, that some think all
together too heavy, yields me on an average
80 bushels to an ame of as fine a sample of
wheat as one could wish for; that's goodenough
for tne, let those who like farming on differ-
ent soils and hy different methods do so, I am
satisfied."
Remembering what I had heard before, I
asked him if his wheat was not likely to get
caught with frost as ho would not be able M
antic this land until late in the spring. " Nob
at all, I have boon worldng this farm now for
live years and every year I have saved my
crop of wheat without having it damaged. in the
least by frost. I plough my ground awl har-
row three or four times in the fall, leaving
the ground well pulverized; do not wait in
the spring for it to be in a condition to work a
drill on, but commence sowing, using a broad
cast seedee, as 50011 as the snow' is off the
ground, By following this method, I feel
just as safe here in growing a crop of wheat
as I did in Ontario ila regards frost, and I get
nearly double the quantity to the acre and
raise it at a great deal less expease, as .1 have
neither stones nor stumps to contend with."

The liughes-Hallet controversy revives
many reminiscences of the time when Mrs.
Hallett -Emily Schomberg -was the most
famous sooiety woman of her day, Her
beauty was of a striking order, but her mani-
fold accomplishments made her even more
distinguished. Cosmetics were by no means.
so generally used in those days as now, but
so marvellouslyperfect was Miss Schomberg's
complexion that a whisper weut around to the
effect that she had been enamelled, a process
which frequently defies criticism, although
it makes washing or dampening the face
difficult.
Rnowing this, a, party of youngeople who
were going to a Seventh Regiment ball at
Cape May contrived to give Miss Schomberg
a seat where the cinders flow freely that they
might decide for themselves whether she was
willing to bathe her face before arriving at
Cape May. To the surprise and perhaps dis•
ootnfiture of some present, Miss Schonberg
calmly took out her cologne bottle and gen•
erously applied the contents to her brow and
cheeks, after which there was uo furthes
question in her coterie as to the genuineness 01
her bloom. -Epoch.
