At the present time, however, there is a curi- ous sort of vagueness in the acceptance of the postulate. (The expenditure of large sums on ‘inland fortifications, 110 less than the turning . London into an enormous citadel pro: often-suggested project of pared for a siege, leads to a. sad 'hypothesis. "\Ve cannot. prevent an enemy from landing in force ” â€"- this is the precise phrase in many a man’s mouthâ€""therefore, we must prepare for a campaign on shore.” No doubt there is a secret plan for resisting the inwader near the coast -yet, not only the embodied idea. we have quoted, but other circumstances seem to suggest doubts of its success. The theory upon which the autumn manoeuvres for two successive sea- sons, near the coast, seem to have been based, is, that an enemy has land- ed in force, 'and captured consider- able towns, the. consequence being that _ AN INLAND CAMPAIGN ‘has to be carried 011,. with somewhat problematical results. The public perceives only that the defending force is fighting a retreating battle; what 'might happen in, the wake of the fight is not imagined at all. Of course, the hypothesis of actual calamityâ€" for such the capture of ll‘olkestone or Hastings would certain- ly lieâ€"is only an excuse for carrying out autumn manoeuvres, where useful instruction is obtained, as well by troops as by commanders. Nevertheless, the fiction is somewhat disagreeable, and it would be regretâ€" table if civilians should be lead to think of the. conquest of a. coast town by a. marauding enemy as a trifle. The reality, would be suffi- pci'entiy appalling, and. the consequent panic widespread, and perhaps fatal in vaults. . It is very true, we have no Napol- eon threatening us, as in 1801 and 1805; and the Governments of Europe do not seem! to have any plans of com- bination against us. But severalGreat Powers have armamentsof prodigious dimensions; and 1T IS ESSENTIAL TO PREPARE "1 peace time against the results of foreign revolution and cataclysms caused by the clash of vital interests. In the year lBlll, whether in reality or only in pretence, the great Napoleon menace-d this country with invasion, and the Government. thought it. pruâ€" dent to allay public apprehensions by I entrusting our defolan to Nelson, who immcdiatc-ly conceived the same idea as did the. Dukc of \V'ellington in 1847 .â€"n:lmely, that. if. invasion were really intended, London would be the ob- ‘eclive, and that the enemy would i'y to land at points on the coast 'wilhin the. easiest, reach of this capi- tal. The Thames, and: the “flats” near the. mouth of that river, were, of course, the first! things to he look- ed after; but- like \Vcllington. in18~l7, Nelson, in 1901. conceived that many places on the cousin of Kent and Rs- sex, would hava to be carefully look- ed after. -. Nelson’s plans arcl explained in Cap- tain Mahan's recent) work. and can be easily referred to. He expected that Boulonco would be the centre ofthc wcsicrn attack. but that another at- tack. vi.-.. on the 'l‘hamcs flats and the coast of Essex. would be made from ports on the Ncilicrl'luds. l-‘iushing,Osâ€" fend. and also from Dunkirk. liisde- sign was to attack 'i‘til'l lv’Rl'Tl’AlllCl) l’l.U'l‘lliii.~\S. if possible. inl iilé'if‘ ports. or on their leaving them. or cu route in our oustc, by an English floiilla of sini- lnr kiud, assisted by gun-boils. etc. Scaâ€"Volunlccrs â€"~ called Scaâ€" Fenciblcs at. that time -â€" were in man the flat. boats and fast rowing boats.

And yet that sea shore is their post. of lionorlâ€"for inland campaigns are out of the question and would be the (liresl of misfortunes to this nation. Perhaps it. will le necessary to consider Sir John Colomb‘s propositionâ€"namely, t‘nc creation of ‘Scaâ€"lv'cmi.iles,“ under the title "Royal Marine Artillery Volunâ€" tecrs.” Sir John‘s proyosit‘ion pi'ol'abâ€" ly included colonial defence. \Vitli that matter we have hcrc. no concern. {the duties of this new defensive force would, of course, be somewhat amphi': i- ous, They would take the place of thc "Sea-Fencibles,” of Nelson’s dayâ€" a. body, by the way, which did not answer the call with the promptitude expect- 6(i of themâ€"lam: probably the substi-' tute proposed, would be better organiz:- ed, and thus everv point dangerously near the metropolis: would be secure from sudden surprise. And let us he sure of this. "The invader,” if over he appeared, would come like a thief in the nightâ€"probab- ly after the manner anticipated by \Vel lizn‘gton. The employment of? what we should call railway~artillery would secure many important points; and save us from the expensive and rather detri- mental construction of forts. Guns would only belbrouglit up when actu- ally wanted. No doubt these very valu- able new.r forces would know all the various points where! an enemy might attempt a landing, and what; would have to be done at a moment’s not- ice. The rest of the Volunteers’ ar- riving peli-mell, when the alarm is giv- cn, would be more ready than they are now for. the. species of .[nkerman surprise which invasion would perforce resemble. The threat of invasion would create the same. panic. as oc- curred in the: days of Elizabeth, and also in 1801 and 1805. But, with a. properly planned‘ coast defence, inâ€" land fortifications would be unneces- sary, and all fears for the safety of- lgondon idle. - » Some brilliant. object lessons in river; defence were recently carried out in the Thames district by the scientific and distinguished general in‘ command. It seems probable that the general’s views are identical with those = of \Veliington and, Nelsonâ€" especially in the. matter; of obstinately disputing an enemy’s attempt to land. And this idea. is, no doubt. in the minds ofevery general and admiral in the British ser- vice. W BE NATURAL.

It seems as if dairymen will neveri .‘ease to talk orwrite about this one: Ely-product that accumulates about the: {arm where butter is habitually or per-3: 2;...iically made or encam shipped out: for ice cream of other purpOses. Why , Itould' we cease to speak of it. asks a3 writer, when in reality it contains 505 largely the manurial value of the: whole milk? 3 ) i. The other day one of our patrons at tile creamery was urging the propriety : \, \\_â€"\.~\\.\ g I of keeping hogs- near byand feedingi the entire. refuse to them so that farmers noel notwait for ihcir‘skim- miik; but he had hardly reckoned thcl loss that his and my farm would snsâ€", min with the entire product of our! sows carried from the farm and notl returned again. The. farmer who sells his milk entire. } may get more dollars than 1 do, but; his lanai is by no means as fcrlile as; crime. I have never sold a single pound ; of whole milk.~ for eighteen years, toi gooff the farm. By retaining it at! home 1 could get nearly all of its manâ€" i are value without even putting it in- to calves or pigs, and when I do the lat- ; ter and supplement. the loss of fat with ‘ vegetable oils, fâ€"triple the manurial! value when the stock are sold. I The class of stock fed on this skimâ€" milk. determines the cash value of it; For instance, fed to a heifer calf, lieâ€"i ginning say five days after birth, fedl for a Week one gallon and increased to five quarts, for a term of three. months, using a handful of oil meal up to a half pint toward the latter part of that period. Summing up the caste of feeding this'calf, 1,000 pounds inilk,l what hay and bran it would consumsfl and turning it over to a purchaser to, make a. dairy cow for the trifling sum! of $20, would make a phenomenal price for the milk. l Allowing; half the price to go for care. grain and hay, the other half would jnet for the skim-milk about $1, per lhundred and still a. large percentage {of its manurial value remains on the , farm, provided the calves are kept well lbeddcd and the liquids Well absorbed. { This remarkable by-product is of isuch- importance on the farm where J pigs are fan-owed and weaned that we ,doubt if pigs can be started and kept. in healthy condition without it. While ;we are aware that a very large per- . centage of the pigs of this country are raised without ever drinking a drop of .cow's milk, yet we have. fully satisfied ourselves that we can raise them with slops. Of course we do not write this , to condemn the methods of regular hog j raisers but to encourage those who have 'thle milk, to make economical use of it on their farms and not. be. led to con- sider it of no commercial value. only to be got rid of. instead of combining it with other foods, into a well bal- anced ration. ,For pigs we find it worth not less than 25 cents for each 100 .pounds, used with oil meal and an increase of corn. meal as the pigs grow. That is, we decrease the proportion of milk and increase the corn meal. until when feeding out, the milk is discontinued and fed to young pigs. When warm milk can be separated at once and fed to either calves or - pigs when still warm, its feeding qual- ity is greatly enhanced, because of two things. First, the normal heat in ii. . aids the young animal to digest it soon- rose. or a lilac as a. peony. or a dog l er and better and it becomes assimi- as a cat. le natural and you’ll be all right.

Second, sour milk is, we con- sider inilzs first stages of activity, un- fit for the stomach. If not fed while sweet, always let. it “clabber” before feeding it, for experience has taught us that there is less danger of the animal scouring than when fed in a sour condition. It is very strange that farmers will insist that skimâ€"milk is of so little value when by a. little study and inves- tigation they can learn so many things to the contrary. "l‘he adherents in such a. policy ‘ are usually those who sell the whole milk to city trade and must; necessarily raise their heifer calves on buy tea. and grain. We do not claim that calves cannot be suc- cessfully reared thus, but that it is a doubtful cziseif heifers can be madc as useful cows as those. reared on milk. or at least a beneficial share of it. When step aside from the natural way of rearing our farm animals it. would suggest Llio assertion that we must study feeds as they affect ani- mal life with greater activity than when following the more natural illi‘iil- . less than on grain ground and fed ed in providing shelter, watching in sec how certain feeds act, what is proâ€" pcrly digested, etc. it is. to he. sup- pose-ti that when the. pure fat is es:â€" li'acted from whole milk the large perâ€" ccnlam‘. of protein left in it would be digzcdihlc unless a sufficient amount of carbohydrates were fed in connec- liJll with it to combine as a well-bal- unrei ration. ll. is, we think. a fact that all classes of farm animals can extract fat to a fair degree from nitrogenous substanc- es much better than they can frnm, highly charged carbohydrate mun rials lwlicn deficient in protein to create a, Eperfect ration. especially those animals - that are forming bone and muscle. . cciuxc BACON. l l The dry prowess of converting pork; ‘mlo bacon makes an excellent. ariicle.l sweet and firm.

After the carcass of the hog has been; oils. in fact more care should be exert-is. for bacon to one side. ' with mama :salt. undulat- the blood idmin for 24 hours. Mix 11-2 lbs. coarse brown sugar. 6 oz. saltpeter. and 1 1-2 lbs. salt. After these ingredients are well mixed, rub into the pork well. especially on the flesh sides. Pile these piecas of pork on: top of one axi- other in. a. suiting trough, with a groove or guttcr round. its edges to drain away the brine. To allow this brine to soak intotho meat. will impart a. vile taste. Turn the meat cvci'y two days, rubbing in more of the salt and sugar preparation. Tbs proportion Ellen is suffi.ient for 14 lbs. of bacon. 'llue sugar possesses preserving quali- iiss in a very great. degree, without the pungeiicy and astringent-y of salt. and imparts a iuilain-ess and mellowness to the cured meat. Too much salt contracts the fibres of the meat. thus rendering it hard and tough. The meat 'einaiuu in this state for two or three. weeks, according to circum~ stances. In dry weather it requires a. longer lime than during damp weather. The place. for sailing should always be. cool. but well ventilated.

When the meat is suffi- i‘lemlly salted, wipe it dry and smoke for two or three wecks. according to fire. The meat. must be hung tosuiokc in a dry place, where no water will touch. it, and the smoke must proceed from wood. Before you hang the meat to smoke, rub the flesh side well with bran. This prevents the smoke from Selling into the little openings and. makes a. crust that dries on. As to time. required to smoke the bacon. it di‘llends upon the and whether there. is a constant 'smoke. If the smoke is constant and. richâ€"from hard woodâ€"4t requires about: two wecks’ lime. The bacon. must not: be. dried 11b, and yet it must be perfectly dry. THE HELFER CALVES. Years ago, when most of our farm “’0 ‘k was done with oxen. and beci‘ was one of the farmer’s' profitable pro- ducts, the heifers, which were not exâ€" pected to give anyrclurns until they were three or four years old. were classed as rough stock with the dry cows, and given enough to live on of such! as more favored animals rejected. Yearling heifers in the spring were the ghost in every barnyard and sources of disgust to every thoughtful. obser- ver, while the steers were 'brushed‘u'n‘i potted and fed good hay and meal. In the fall the oxen alnd steers would be seen" wallowing in the second growth of mowing fields, while the cows and heif- ers were searching among the sweet- for. and brakes for anything that would fill their stomachs and satisfy the owner that they had been diligent. Conditions have changed, and Were it not for the total absanoe of the oxen and steers from large Sections, we. might say they had been reversed. But while thecows are the loading features of the, meat, stock business and much study has been devoted to their food and care, there is frequent evidence of a lingering of theold custom- of letting the heifers “rough it" and to accept without reflection such devel- opment as they are able to make. The heifer makes the cow, but she does it While she. is developing herself as a. heifer, and no amount of after care can arouse. and perfect organs and traits that have been dwarfed and checked by abuse and starvation. They should be kept. growing just as the steers form- erly were. Not necessarily to secure a large size, but. a. young animal will grow that has food and care suitable for full development. At this season some men who have the care of stock are apt to let things go on at random while they are getting settled for winâ€" ter. but the demands of the animal sys- tem arc. the same and a. few necks of neglect will call for as many month-s of reparation. Put the calves in comâ€" fortable, well-lighted stalls or pcns. provide the, stables with good brushes and. take your wire cards and bury them where the hired man will not find them when he has an attack of total depravity. and then see that every ani- mal has enough of something that. it enjoys. If history does not abandon its established habit of repeating it- self this present rush for sheep will result in many flocks accuiiiulalingin the hands of men who are not fitted for the business and will be sclling out in a few years at low prices and paying well for good cows. Take care of your heifer calves. CURIOSITY OF MONKEYS. 0m- Who Was Inquisitive Iii Rural-d In flomc-Ihwwcd ilc. Curiosity seems to to the great failâ€" ure, or virtue, of monkeys. A story is told of an Englishman who had a South African monkey which had traveled with him around the world. When hi. bachelor days were over he took his young wife to a lovely old manor house in the south of England. and, English- manlikc, kept sevcml barrels of good "home-brewed" alc in the cellar.

As he went down i.il(‘ steps Jenny. the monkey. rushed up, and. he. found that. she had set all ill“ spigois running. The door had been inadvertently left opcn, and Jenny, doubtless, went prying into the «unli- liphicd place.

They'd laid down boards on the floor beams in one part of it and stored some stuff t.lic.re,..and I was foolish enough to go over and‘ see what it was.
