NOTES A.vn COMiaEMTS. It ha* been the hope of ui\ good men that ttke tide of vrar wbicb set in on the Thessiiliait border, 'would not re- cede without eDguld[>hiii^ ths most blood-stalnetl of the twt> . remainine Tartar thronee. But history has ro- (leiited iteelf, and thto yLottgoi flood ba^ a^ain orearfloAvad and submerged a civilized and Christian state. A rlght- ecMis cauae has l>een of no a/vail against the weight of numbera and suiwrior ar- mainent, and for the seof.ad time with- in the year barbarism has triumphed over civilization. The Oitocaan jjower which since it waa beaten back before Vienna more than two hundred years ago, has steadily diminished, and a year ago seeme^l ready to collapse, haa been revivified, and become a sturdy ' giant. The tacit agreemBnt at Europe that Turkey was to be gradually shorn of her territory, and that on no {jart of it once released waa bar authority to be reim^ioaed, haa been reduced to nullity by the Ottoman occupation of Thessaly. The Turk, who, sixteen rears ago at ita order handed ov«r Thesaaly to Groene, ia again in {wascs- eion, and ynW \x^a it bo secure good terms for himself. The powrers who coddled him and used him as a scourge to chastise an Independent Christian state, with equal rlghtii in the forum of nations with themselves, for doing what they had pledged thamseh-ea to do, haa now to deal with a new ^nwer no longer willing to take their orders. It ia a discocxaging situation, but it has this ailventage. It will compel the European federation to show whether It is a real federation, or only a make- believe. The defeat of Greece by Tur- key â€" the defeat of international right by brute force la virtually the act of the powers. It is one for which they have offered no defeme, save that it was necessary to avf rt a general Enropean wax. aji excuse which may be used to justify any oppression. It has settled nothing. It has not even facilitated ag- reement upon the kind of autonomy to be given Oete. whi-h it has so embit- tered the Cretans that they declare theij purpose to fight to the last man rather tbiu acc<>pt any government at Europe's hands. It has not advam-ed the solution of the Eastern question an iota but has rendered its solution tenfold more difficult. It has done nothing to further the reforms in Turkey for whii-h the powers have been striving to secure guarantees, but has increa.«ed a hundredfold the d.nngers of tniagovern- ment and massacre. Some of the reforms demanded limit the si;ltan"s i-ontrol of hi.s treasury, others his aubm-racy. and still others his choice of counsellors. Hitherto he hlus met the demand for their enforcement by eva-sions. Is it reasonable to surrose that with the prestige of victory and advised by sol- diers, he will yield the more readily? What the powers have done is what they have striven for years to avoid doing. They have rehabilitated Tur- key, and made hear in fact what she has been oul.v in name, a European power. Victorious in war. the position of the sultan as a true sultan favored by Al- lah will be strengthened with his Ot- toman subjects. "\V ; th an army of more than 400,000 men concentrated in Eur- ope, he can afford to openly oppose the Interfereni-e of tjie powers in his af- fairs, and with the five millions of Greeks in hi» empire as hostages, and with Thessaly to barter for goo.l terms, may be expei-ted to do so. In that ev- ent, the coniert uiu-st yield or coerce him. that is, make good its assertion of i>ower to make a peace satisfactory to all parties, or confejs that it is only a make believe. No doubt if the powers hold together, they c-an enforce their own terms. But will they? The sul- tan can hnrdly jrive up Thessaly and ni.-iintain hi.i prestige with hi.< own sub- .iects. Bui tliou^gh the three enivemfs may consent to his retention of some of the fruits of his victories it is pretty certain that the western pow- ers will not igfee to his retention to any , part of Greer©.

THE ELEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY. In the dJf erent Industries of the farm, there is no one that demands so much close watch and m-nute oUtervation as that uf the dairy, in atout every one of ths diiferen'>. affaii-sof Lhc iarm. says John Gould, .n Praolkal Farmer, there can be some sort "of shrewd guess- work. " So much wood makas about so much fire; so many i^uahcU of wheat make an average load; so much helft and so much miichme ought to cut and put up so mucii hay per day, and so on through the list. When it comes ta tbe dairy there is an uncertainty. A cow ought, tu give mUk, and eat in pro- portion to her si^e, and so mun^ milk from old brin ouglu. to muike so much butter, but in the management of the dairy there is an indiv idualiain that mokes every cow accountable only to herself, and ths finding out about this^makes dairying one of the tine aria, so to f^ieak. It would seem that so much ha.y aud graji, and ao much cow ought to produce so much mJ>it. The engneer says, "Here is a fifty-ton loco- motive, there are ten ton:s uf coal and 2,000 gallons of water, and that means that X can pull so many cars and so many tons of freiglrt, ao lomy miles." C^ the man wjth a l,UUO-pound cow say any such th.ng of her with certain- tyf No men can tell, by loukuig at the cow and estimating tha feed, how man; pounds ot milk, of wimt per cent, fat, and how long :>ha will hold out. The small cow ofton eats as much as the larger one, outmiiics her and outclasses her in butter miuking- The engine can be built over, a new furnace put in,and economy secured wAh extra power ad- ded; but the cow is never built over. She i^aya with us either a paying pro- ducer oraboerdsr. As a buaraer, aha consumes the proiiita of the better cow. At the experimeoit stations interesting experiments are being curried on in re- gard to th.i> difference in cows and their auiroprstian of food, as related to the muk supply. Charging pasturaga at 91 per week, and huy, gra.n ana sil.ige at actual market rateti, aud crediting milk butter and chee<>e and whey at the going rates, it was found that with the lierdâ€" a>nd ix is to be supposed that these cows rate much above the average â€" the food fed to some cows returned three times the produce as did others. In one trial the food cost of a pound of butter was ti \-i cents apounX aud fruni another cm and ocher noted horse trainers.

Ths one did not go to the lowest place where the oth- ers did, and cut one teat very badly. As she was in fuii flow of milik, tbe teat had to be mxisted. init is it waa very sore and pu.nful ahe did not want it touched, and kicked furiously wtien I took hold of it. I had to milk it by force as already descr i)ed, and after sos was conquered aiie would stand and quiver with pain while the wounded teat was being milked. Unless a kick- ing cow is a very good one for miUt it does not pay to ixither with them. Thev Will bring all they are worth for beet. DONT RAIBE SCRUB STOCK. Scrub stock is a luxury that the busi> ness farmer can not afford because ha must know that every animal will pay Xs way, and pay a profit on the feed and care; they must Have early matur- ity and si^jerior quality. The wealthy business men who are ambitious to havs a farm and stouk can not afford to keep any scrub stock, but get the best pure- bred atook, wiuch is cheap enough now for every farmer to tjuy. Yet thoo- sands of farmers are breeding, raiaintf and wasting feed on scrub stock that aullionaire farmers can not afford,and will not toler.^te these scrubs that eat more and sell for half what hgh grades do. Look at the market and you see 10 per cent of tbe cattle and horses sell for double tbe price the nine-tenths sell for. Yet these fiurmers complain that cattle .and horses do not pay. Cattle at 5 cents and ti cents do pay, and horses at 91iJ0 to 9200 pay well to raise, and the markets are more eager to buy at the high prices all the high-class stodh that IB for sola.

It may be of interest at the present time to give an account of the twelve ladies who attended the bride who haa now been "sixty years a Queen." It is usual when a Hoyal Princess mar- ries that her attendant bridesmaids are chosen from the daughters of dukes, marquises, and earls, and i6 was so when the Queen married.
