Supplying Ammunition to Soldiers
Under Fire.

Under Fire.
How to supply ammunition to men in
the fireing line of an attacking force
after they have once become engaged
with the enemy is admittedly a problem
of which no satisfactory solution has vet
been arrived at. Some Instructions re-
Gently issued by the Austrian Minister
of Wal bearing upon the matter will
therefore be read with interest. In the
first place, 1877 cartridges are to be pro-
yided for every infantry soldier on the
field of battle. Of there, the man him
self is to carry seventy-two in his
pouch, t~hirty-five are to be conveyed for
him In a wagon attached to his battalion
and the remaining thirty are to follow
in the divisional ammunition column.
When a company is ordered to advance
to an attack, and extra packet of twelve
cartridges is to be at once given to each
man from the battalion cart. As the
action goes on this latter is to follow the
movements of its battalion, keeping as
close to it as possible. When
it can no longer advance, its position is to
be indicated by hosting a red flag by day
or a green light by night; care being
taken to place the signal at some little
distance from the wagon, SO that the
exact position of this latter may not be
betrayed to the enemy. The buglers,
musicians and pioneers of the battalion
are to be organized as carriers, and are at
every pause in the action to carry bags
full OF cartridges to the men in the firing
line. Should there be no cessation of
fire, the carriers are to deliver the
cartridges to the men in the line of rein
forcements, and these latter in turn are
to convey them to their comrades in
front. The bearers are also to collect
any cartridges remaining in the pouches
OF killed or wounded men left behind as
the attacking force advances. Should a
battalion send for cartridges to the
wagon of another corps, as many round.
as can be spared are to be at once handed
over without ony written demand or re.
ceipt being asked for.

A q

A correspondent of the FZoridian
estimates the orange product of that
state for the year 1877 at 5000, OOO
oranges, of which Indian River produced
$4,000; Sumpter county, 1000, 900:
Orange, 100000; Liberty, 225,OOO;
Franklin, 100000; Calhoun and Jackson,
100000. The writer also thinks that
ten years hence the principal cities OF
the north and west-Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston
will derive their principal supply Of
oranges from Florida instead Of the
West Indies.

Some Of his distant relatives there laid

FARM AND HOME.

which II the Richest, Mornings or
Evenings MilkP
This subject has now been put to the
test of chemical analysis, and the result
is that the evenings milk is found to be
the richer. Prof. Boedeker analysed the
milk of q healthy COW at different periods
Of the day. The professor found that
the solids Of the evenings milk (thirteen
per cent? exceed those of the morning
item per cent }; while the water contain
ed in the fluid was diminished from eighty
nine per cent. to eighty-six per cent.
The fatty matter gradually increases as
the day progresses. In the morning it
amounts to two and a quarter per cent,
at noon, three and a halt per cent, and
in the evening, FIVE and three-quarters
per cent. The practical importance Of
discovery is at once apparent; it
develops the fact that while sixteen
ounces of mornings milk will yield but
an ounce of butter, about dou-
bic the quantity can be obtained from
the evenings milk. The casein is also
increased in the evenings milk from two
and q quarter to two and three-quarters
per cent, but the albumen is diminished
from 44-100 per cent. to 3l-10O per cent.
Sugar is less abundant at midnight flour

The Tribulations Of Parents ofrvins,

The Tribulations Of Parents ofTwins.
A "Young Mother" writes: eve
have twin boys at our house, and, being
unable TO decide upon names for
them, my husband and myself have O n
cluded to refer the matter to you, and
adopt the prettiest names you suggest"
Goodness gracious! we never named
twins in our life! 1t is not in our line of
business; but If the happy parents dote
upon Indian names, we would suggest
Sitting Bull and Spotted Tail. There is
something unique and picturesque about
those names. If they prefer something
. little ore spirited, there are Tom and
Jerry-good names and strong, we've
been told. Unless you want to follow
the twins to an early grave, don't call
'em COnover and Patterson or Kellorr
and Butler. Perhaps you'd better adopt
entirely new names, and call your bows
John and William. -Norvistoicn Herald,

Two of Mr.. Lincoln's Stories.

Here are two fresh stories about Mr..
Lincoln.
One day a gentleman, speaking to him
about Mr.. Chase's political ambition, ex-
pressed surprise that the office of chief
justice Of the United States was not suf-
ficiently high to allay the ambition of
any a "Do you know Mr.. Chase
well-very well?" asked MI. Lincoln.
Yes, l think So" somewhat doubtfully
replied the other. We'll" reioined Mr..
Lincoln, "let me tell you about Mr..
Chase. He is aman, who, if he is happy
enough to get to heaven, will certainly
aspire to a seat on the throne"
At another time, during a critical
period of the war, two gentlemen were
consulting with MI. Lincoln on an inn
portant matter which required a prompt
decisions. Observing that other persons
were waiting to see him, of them re-
marked that his work seemed to be end
less, for as soon rs one matter was ad-
justed another arose, and that many
matters must be brought before him
which it would be impossible for any
man to settle. "That reminds me of a
man out west" said Mr.. Lincoln. "He
lived away out west, where he had no
neighbors, and worked his farm himself.
One day some friends visited him and
walked out to look at the place.
The host pointed out the use of this and
that lot, and in one which he
said that he was going to plough, the Wis.
itors observed an immense tree which
had been cutdown recently. They asked
him what he was going to do with that
tree. WELL said he, that tree has
caused me considerable p~erplexity. ]
couldn't make up my mind Just what to
do about it. 1t is 70 green that / can't
burn it; it would take ten pair of oxen
to drag it of, and ! have only one pair

Mulching plays q very important part
in the cultivation of fruits and vege'
tables, but its importance and value are
not regarded as highly az they should Dc
by those who have not given it a trial.
In the cultivation of small fruits, such
as the strawberry. blackberry and rasp-
berry, mulching goes far toward produc-
ing a heavy crop, especially 30 during
dry seasons. As most of the above
named fruits are planted in light or
loamy soil, in dry weather, usually hap
pening just when they are in the height
of bearing, the plants suffer for want OF
sufficient moisture, and a crop is consid-
erably shorteend unless a proper mulch
has been given.
In regard to the small fruits, there are
several different ways of applying q
much, as we'll as different kinds applied,
the most suitable, however, being coarse
stable manure in which there is consider
able straw. This is usually applied late
in the fall, after a thorough cultivation
has been given. This manure not only
acts as a mulch the following year, but
supplies the plants with much f~ertiliz-
ing matter, which they naturally need.
If the farm is on the borders of a river
or other body of water, where each year
large quantities of rushes and coarse riv-
er grass grow, then this can be used to
great advantage as a mulch, for one sea-
son usually reduces it 10 as to offer no
impediment to after cultivation, which
is a desirable feature.
While it is so desirable to supply
mulch to the small fruit vines and plants,
it is none the less desirable to give the
young fruit trees the benefit of the same,
especially the first two or three years of
their growth in the orchard. To afford
them still further protection from the
direct rays of the sun, during the first
and secondly years corn is planted between
the trees.
1t is not always convenient to mulch
trees, though we would advocate mulch
ing pear trees when young, and before
they have come into their fruitage.
This should not be done in the fall, for
the material put around the trees as a
mulch affords a snug place for field mice,
and in sever winters the mice are apt TO
seriously injure the trees by gnawing
the bark, often completely girdling
them. The best time to apply it is in
the spring, after the orchard has had a
thorough cultivation. The mulch can
then be left on the orchard till fall,
when it a be removed to give place to
good cultivation. If some vegetables
are grown between the rows which by
leaves will afford partial protec-
ton, then the mulch need not be ap-
plied.-Prdcticul Farmer.

The Queen OF the Oven.

A breakfast biscuit or tea-roll made
with DooLEY's YEAST POWDER is certainly
the queen of the oven-so light, white and
delicious. You lift it tenderly, break It
open gently, spread it daintily with fresh
sweet butter, waiting to be gracious. After
breakfasting on biscuits made with
DoOLEY'S YEAST POWDER, what man would

wife asked him for money.
