NESTOR AMONG CLERKS.
Judge Tomklnt Work for Uncle San'.
Though Eighty Year Old. .
Tho ncstor among the clerks at the
Pension office at Washington la Judge
C. M. Tomklns, who was appointed
to that bureau In IStil and has served
continuously since. From a little bu
reau he has seen the Pension office
crow to one of the largest and mod
Influential branches of the govern
ment, with thousands of clerks to do
Its work. Despite his Ml years, he Is
still on active duly. Judge Tomklns
was a flourishing lawyer In Wisconsin
In 1861. when he visited Washington
to attend President Lincoln's inaugu
ration, and with no thought of seek
ing or accepting a government office.
He was pursuadod by Timothy O.
Howe to remain at. the capital and
take a clerkship en the ground that,
war was sure to bo declared and It
would be Interesting to study It at
close range. "Once a government
clerk, always a government clerk,"
the saying goes, and Mr. Tomklns has
never felt any ambition to leave the
comfortable berth to which Mb old
friend appointed hiin.
Old Candlestick High.
With the Increasing demand for an
tiquities, the supply of mementoes
and relics of past generations Is be
coming exhausted, and the prices of
genuine pieces are waxing higher and
higher. Old candlesticks, for exam
ple, that have had such continuous
popularity, are scarce, and good spec
imens sell for almost any price that
the dealer feels disposed to charge.
To tell old brass, copper or pewter
from the modern Imitation requires
long experience and a trained eye,
Brass varies much In color. Its shade
depending upon the proportion of cop
per and zinc used in Its composition
and also on the hue of tho copper em
ployed. Copper Itself assumes a va
riety of complexions. Tho old Span
Ish and Russian copper and brass are
both peculiarly rich In color and re
tain their polish longer than others.
In the old piece's there Is silkincss of
texture not found In the sorts mnde
now. ThiB Is partly due, it Is said.
' to the natural wear of the utensils.
In tome cases, such as pots, kettles
and fire-boxes, the action of heat may
be responsible, In part at least, for
this quality. Colonial furnishings
are the kinds most eagerly sought by
collectors.
Twain and the King.
Tho father of Miss Louise Fores
lund, author of "The Ship of Dreams,"
knew Mark Twain In tho days of the
gold fever In California. Twain was
then a "young newspaper man named
Clemens," and as the men drifted
anart the acouaintnnce was never fol
lowed up. Mr. Forsiilund modestly
disclaimed any further knowiedgeaof
the now world-famed humorist. Mark
Twain himself is less diffident, as a
story 1b now going its second round
of the English papers testifies. Din
ing Twain's residence In England he
was taxed in what seemed to bim an
unjustifiable instance. Accordingly
he wrote a friendly protest to tho
yueen. "I don t know you, he write
"but I've met your sou. He was at
the head of a procession in the Strand,
and I was on a 'bus."

fteaeciling a SMehlll raature. .
Subscriber writes as follows: I have
on old sldehill pasture which slopes
to the west, and which Is too stony to
plough. It Is a limestone soil, and
its fertility is somewhat run down. I
desire to reseed It If possible. Can I
pet. advice how best to proceed and
what seeds to sow from some one who
has had experience In similar cases?
Answer: The present writer has
had experience in a similar case on
the same kind of soil, in the tame
county, nnd not six miles from the
same locality, and met with excellent
success. In early spring be scratched
the ground over with a sharp, fine
toothed harrow, commencing at the
base of the hill and working up so
as not -to leave any miniature chan
nels to convey any water of subsequent
rains downward. He then sowed
broadcast equal parts of the seeds of
blue grass, white clover, medium red
clover anil timothy; then lightly har
rowed again In the same duection.
When the seeds had germinated he
sowed about six bushels of land plas
ter to the acre. All stock was kept off
for two or three months. The succeed
ing pasturage was good for a hill lot as
long as the writer remained on the
farm several years. It is not remem
bered .what quantity of the mixed
reeds was sown per acre. New York

i Winter Itnlter.
Where few cows are kept It Is dif
ficult to make good butter In winter.
With the ordinary appliances It re
quires several days to obtain sunlolon:.
cream, to make a churning. Keeping
cream too long is what gives winter
butter a bitter flavor. The difficulty
In keeping the crenm warm enough to
ripen properly Is another problem the
winter butter mskT hns to contend
with. It is often I ho small things that
determine tae quality of cold weather
tuttor. such aw talt. Farmers are not
very pnriiculnr about tho purity ol
the salt they use nt any time of the
year; when to thia i.s a ided tho froz
en condition in which it Is kept In
winter, und tho fact that it is chopped
out of the barrel and worked ice cold
Into the butter, accounts for some of
the diflieultles that are met with in
trying to muko good butter during tho
jvlnter. Both the butter ar.d the salt
should be accurately weighed and tho
salt added when it is at the same tem
perature as the butter. The Bait
should bo rolled In ordor to crush all
the lumps both for better distribu
tion through the butter, and to secure
an even temperature. It I better to

The llnttie fairy.
The tendency to rcfufn once moro to
home dairying. Instead of selling milk
and crenm to large separator com
panies, appears to bo the result of re
cent Invention and perfection of small
separators operated by hand. It Is
possible with these for tho farmer
and dnlvyman to handle his own pro
duct, make his own butter as former
ly, and sell It to the market he con
siders best. I Is also tending to In
crease the size of tho average dairy.
With a hand separator the farmer can
hnnrile more cream and butter than
lie could when ho depended entirely
upon old-fashioned dairy methods. It
may be that the large creamery com
panies and large co-operative farmers'
creameries will not be greatly affected
one way or the other by this, as the
supply of milk and cream Is steadily
Increasing all over the country, but
certainly It. will make a change on the
small farms and dairies. The question
which must be considered of the most
Importance is whether the farmer op
erating at home can keep up the qual
ity ot his butter, or will It degenerate
and sell so much below the regular
creamery butter thnt It will not bo
profitable to make it. A good deal of
the dairy butter which comes to mar
ket Is so Inferior In quality that It rare
ly brings much more than one-half or
two-third the price paid for best
creamery. This Is due to Inferior
methods used, and to the fact that old
fashioned dairy butter-making cannot
produce as finished a product as the
modern creameries. It Is opsslble for
the small dairyman to make almost as
good butter with the small hand se
parators as that produced by the large
creameries, but to do this he must ob
serve the close rules and regulations
enforced by the managers of the latter.
Any laxity on their part will bring de
terioration in the quality. The butter
thus made If not. held too long, should
then command n fair rating In the mar
ket. The old fault ot the home dairy
man was thnt he held his butter and
crrnm too long. If he persists In doing
this h will not succeed under tho
new methods. There must be regular
weekly shipments, even if It Is neces
sary to Increase the herd to make it
worth while. C. L. Pardee, lu Ameri
can Cultivator.
Corn nnd tmliler.
From 1" to -10 percent ran be saved
cn corn fodder ny preparation before
feeding, according to the quality of tho
fodder. As corn picked in their en
tirety were formerly thrown Into tho
barnyard to be picked over by rattle
their consumption due to proper pre
paration Is a clear gain. Tho corn
shredder has now come Into use, and
tt. Is raving millions of tons of fodder
nnnually. Some portions of shredded
fodder will be rejected by cattle, but
only a little when the corn Is harvested
at the proper stage. The quality de
pends upon when the com Is removed
trom the ground and shocked, but It
is the cutter or shredder that enables
the farmer to use the whole of hla
corn crop. The ensilage cutter Is also
as serviceable for cured corn fodder as
for ensilage. There can bo no loss,
even If the reduced fodder is uneaten,
as the refuse can be used for bedding,
and then as absorbent material In the
manure heap. In fact. If the cutter and
shredder were used for no other pur
pore than to convert the stalks Into
bedding they would be valuable; but
there will be but little of the corn
fodder rejected if It Is bright and In
good condition. It Is or Importance to
give the saving of fodder moro atten
tion, as It is more valuablo than thn
grain If carefully prepared for the an
imals. Horses keep well on good fod
der, and come out In the spring ready
for work, but If the fodder Is dry, tho
blades whipped off by the wind, and
the shocks exposed In tho fields, tho
animals will select only the best por
tions. Shredded fodder can also be
baled, like hay. and shipped any dis
tance.
There has heretofore been an enor
mous waste of material, for in the
fields, during the winter, on Bomo
farms, may he seen shocks ot corn fod
der that have fallen over, tho snow,
wind and rain destroying It, whllo that
which is left from destruction Is leaf
less and the stalks frozen. The far
mer contents himself by hauling this
worthless fodder to the barnyard to be
tramped by cattle and converted Into
manure, but he loses the fodder as a
food and as an aid to the supply ot
hay. It is not as valuablo tortile man
ure heap when exposed as when cut
or Fhredded, for when reduced It ab
sorbs ihe liquids more readily and will
also decompose sooner. As tho fodder
is equally as valuable as the grain if
properly cured and prepared, some es
timate may be mane of tho annual loss
to farmeis when Jt is stilted that tho
corn crop, at 25 cents per bushel, is
worth $500,000,000, nnd tho fodder fully
as much, but more than one-half of
the fodder Is wastod in the fields by
exposure, entailing a loss every year
of $250,000,000. If converted Into milk,
butter and meat this wasto material
would bring to the farmers $500,000,-
000 per annum. Such a loss would uot
be permitted by manufacturers, for at
the great slaughtering establishments
everything Is saved and Bold, even to
the half, hoofs, blood and horns; but the
farmer, who should be economical If
he wishes to succeed, throw away one
of tho most valuable products of his
farm that simply require care in har
vesting and storing to be utilized. Moro
stock can be kept when the entire corn
plant I used, and better manure for
the farm ran be made by putting the
fodder under shelter or even stack
ing it in a manner to prevent Iobs from
exposure during the winter. Philadel

Itiiecoon Meat.
"The wildest meat I ever tasted It:
my life," said the epicure, "Is the
meat of the raccoon. It has a flavor
about it which you cannot find In pny
other meat, so far as my experience
goes. I have spent much of my llf In
hunting lu the wilder regions of this
country, and have had splendid oppor
tunities to know the particular flavors
of various wild meats. Deer meat Is
almost tasteless In comparison with
other meats of a wild kind. I was about
to say the flavor was scarcely distinc
tive, hut this Is not exactly thn laet
for there Is just a suggestion of wild
ness about venison it It Is not too high

Sir Hartley Williams, senior pttlsno

viding at tho Melbourne criminal
court ho announced that after much

tho conclusion that, except In cases
of outragoous character or of ram
pant crime, It waa uot right to send
first offenders to jail, whether they
were young or old. It was tho cus
tom to extend a certain amount ot
clemency to the young offender, but
he thought that a man who had spent
80 years In a country and lived an
honest and industrious life was en
titled to twice as much consideration
as the youth of 20. In accordance
with thl pronouncement Justice Wil

Where Connecticut Got It Name.
It might be Imagined that Connect
icut Is called the "land of steady hab
its' on account of the exemplary eon
duct of Its citizens. But It obtained
that title In a different manner. John
It. Mntthews told just how recently at
the Waldorf-Astoria. "In the early
colonial times." he said, 'it was tho
custom to provide every one who as
sisted at a dedication, church build
ing or barn raising with a 'hooker' of
good Jamaica rum. These functions,
needless to say. were popular. When
the charter creating Connecticut a
crown colony arrived there was, of
course, a celebration. The first gov
ernor. John Wlnthrop, refused to pro
vide' rum and In his Inagnral address
deplored the custom of tippling, say
ing 'it did not lead to steady habits.'
