Although the existing war in the
Transvaal has been protracted in an
unusual degree, it Is not the longest
struggle In which Great Britain haa
been engaged during the century. Na
poleon declared war against England
tn May, 1S08, the previous war between
the two countries having only termin
ated by the treaty of Amiens in Octo
ber, 1801. The war of 1803 lasted un
til April, 1814, when Paris surrendered
to the allies and Napoleon was aent as
prisoner to Elba, where be arrived on
the 4th of May. He escaped from Elba
In March, 1816, and recommenced the
war, which finally terminated with
Napoleon's defeat at the battle of Wat
erloo on the 18th of June, 1815, having
lasted nearly twelve years. Napoleon
was sent as prisoner to 8L Helena,
where he died in 1821. The European
power that has been most at war dur
ing the century has been Turkey thirty-eight
years of it, as against sixty
two of peace. The second on the list
ia Spain, with thirty-two years ot war
fare, not counting her last fatal cam
paign. Then come France with twenty-seven
years, Russia with twenty
four and Italy with twenty-three. Great
Britain has had no less than twenty
one. Germany, not counting Prussia,
follows with fourteen, Sweden with ten
and Denmark with nine. Our own
country during this century has escap
ed with three foreign wars, one civil
strife, the Philippine Insurrection and
a baker's doxen of Indian campaigns.
the longest of which was the Seminole
war.

To Protect Corn from Poata.
, Thu best method of protecting
newly-planted corn from the ravagos
of crows and miee is, before planting
the kernals, to dip them in coal tar
and theo dust with plaster.
A Principle. In llreedlng.
. Breeding depends, not so muoh
vpon the principle of "like produces
like," as it really does upon the varia
tions that regularly oocur. Orantms
the importanoe attached to the theory
of "like produces like," it is only
true in the abstract, for if that theory
was strictly correct we would have
long since reached the ultimatum of
improvement, and oonld only direct
our efforts in the future to the main
tenance of that which we had already
seanred. But on the other hand, the
very fact that parents do sot, as a
rule, produce their like, but that the
onspring vary in one or more direc
tion, is our greatest guarantee that
we will get in in the progeny, such
varying specimens, which we can
elect to breed from nearer the de
sired type, than the parent stock it
self. We select, therefore, those
which vary most in the proper direc
tion, and consequently our success in
improving and developing the various
organisms, depends more upon the
law of variation than of "like produces
like," which should more properly
read, "similar things produce similar
things." Fanciers' Gazette..
Glover Farming unit Dairying;.
Iu ensilage and clover farming
there are some valuable points to be
taken in consideration. The clover
not only furnished plant food to the
soil, which helps to grow the corn, but
when clover hay is foil to cattle it
helps to balance the ensilage, supply
ing the protein in which it is de
fleiont. When feeding clover hay with
silage, less grain will be needed, and
the milk can be produced so cheap
that there can be some profit iu the
business. To what extent intensive
dairy farming can be carried on de
pends on the condition of the farm.'
It a part 01 a farm is rough or billy,
I would pasture it, but if the whole
farm was easily tillablo, I would try.
to work into a plan of partial soiling,
i. e., I wonld give only a small acre
age to pasture, and would supplement

Tie thai Cow llaninnoly.
The rigid stanchion is not in good
repnte among humane dairymen. It is
relio of barbarism that should be'
lought and driven out of every com
uunity where the cow is valued at her'
irue worth. There is no advantage
in the rigid stanchion in any way, and
It exists because we are aocuatomed
to it. It beoame a feature of the
tattle and dairy barn in times when
ben thought very little about the com
lort of the beasts they owned.
Of late years a great many inven
lions for tying the cow humanely have
been brought forward. Most ot them
tie the cow in such a way that ".he can
freely turn and liok herself. At calv
ing time a oow should not be tied at
U, but ' permitted to occupy box
stall where her motions can be free.
Some of the latest inventions are'
patented and some are not. The fea
tures ot them that appeal to ns most
ire thoBe that regard the comfort of
the oow. The secondary features
look to keeping the oow clean. In
tying some of them use a rope or chain
mat goes around the neck of the cow
and move on a pole placed either per
Dendioularly or horizontally. It will
pay all dairymen that have the rigid
Biauouiou w investigate tus uuwer
ind better methods. All ot onr agri
ultural oolleges that are paying any
tttention to live stock use some one
or more of these approved methods of
tying and can give all the information
desited to any that apply.
The Italian lis.
The Italian is without doubt the
xtott popular bee iu the United Htatos,
sud it certainly has a number ol good
gualities toreoommend it. Firsthand
what oounta muoh with beginners or
persons who are timid or not nsed to
handling them, is the faet that the
Italians are the most gentle bees and
easiest to handle of all raoes. They
defend their hive energetically
against robber bees and moths. They
are foirly persistent workers, and
generally oap their honey white,,
though not as white as some other
raoes. The Italians have been very
muoh improved of late years. Some
are almost golden yellow, very beau
tiful indeed. Borne beekeepers say
that the extra yellow ones are not so
vigorous, nor suoh good workers, but
o far as I have experimented with
them, I do not as a rule find suoh to
be the case. I urn trying a number of
different strains to determiue fully
their merits and demerits, side by side
In the beeyard. The imported Ital
ians are generally a more leather
bolored nnd somber-hued bee. The
Italians are larger than the brown
German and work on red clover more
readily. Their most serious fanlt is
that they do not enter the sections as
readily as we oould desire. The
