HANCOCK AT FORT HARR1soN.-In
the county of Putnam, in this State,
lives now an old soldier who was gal
liant member of Company K, Seven
teenth Tennessee Infantry, G. S. A. His
name is Stewart. He relates thrilling
incident of the "late unpleasantness," in
which he played a most conspicuous part
on the one side, and General Hancock
was on the other. At the taking of Fort
Harrison in 1864 Stewart was stationed
at point in or near the fort, from which
he could distinctly witness the move
ments Of the Federals, and especially the
actions of General Hancock, who was
gallantly leading his men TO victory.
His large figure could be plainly seen as
he rode up and down the line giving
orders to his men, as he had done on
many occasion before. Stewards eye was
kept on the General until he approached
within distance of 600 yards of where
Stewart was stationed, when it occurred
to the latter that no better time would be
presented to cripple an army on the field
by emptying the saddle OF its command
ing officer than this; so, without know
ing who the officer was at the time, he
fired. From the point where he was thus
stationed, he fired fourteen successive
shots at the distinguished General, all of
which were without effect. Stewart says
he continued to fire until his ammunition
gave out, and that when his gun was dis
charged the last time the General was
not over fifty yards from him. He was,
after the capture, informed who it was he
had but short time before made tar
get of.
Stewart recalls the story of Washing
ton at Braddock's defeat, and the Indian
who fired at the heroic Virginian again
and again, and who then threw down his
gun, exclaiming, He has charmed
life" Stewart firmly believes that a
higher power saved the Union General.
He will vote for Hancock.-New YORK

A High Horse Indeed.

There arrived in this city yesterday by
way of the Hudson River Railway from
Albany, and was conveyed directly to his
quarters in Houston Street, what is be-
lieved 10 be the largest horse that has
ever fallen under the eye of an anatomist
or jockey-a veritable equine monster
besides which animals of the ordinary
height are as dwarfs. The animal was
bred in Ohio, from our native draught
stock, and certainly no region except
one of the limestone bases could have
developed such an enormous equine
anatomy. His registered height is
twenty hands and one inch, or eighty
one inches, being foot taller than an
average man.
His weight is stated to be 2,450
pounds; but all these points will proba-
bly, be verified to-day by competent vet
erinary surgeons. AS standing in the
stable the color of the animal appears to
be uniform dark bay, without spot or
blemish. It should not be judged that
this height, although extraordinary, is
not altogether unprecedented in horses.
At the Centennial Exhibition in Phila-
delphia, in 1876, a span of horses was
placed on exhibition, each of which was
eighteen hands and one inch high. The
animals were bred in Canada, and be-
came the property of Philadelphia
brewer when the Exhibition closed. A
veterinary surgeon in this city formerly
owned horse that was nineteen hands
and one inch high, q giant in anatomical
structure, but he found it impossible to
correct certain tendency to emaciation,
and the creature was useless for draught
or road. The late Pope Pho Mono was
the fortunate possessor of one of the
largest horses in European animal
eighteen hands and one inch high, and
the Hanoverian stables formerly con-
tained another of nearly equal height.
So far as can be judged, the Ohio mon,
ster is in perfect health and physical
condition, and may live to a good old
age, Notwithstanding his abnormal pro-
portions. One of the famous European
animals mentioned was living at thirty.
six years of age-a longevity not often
attained by horses.
The monster in Houston street is ac-
companied by his owner, but it is under.
stood he has been secured by Barnum at
price of 81 900, and will presently be
placed on exhibition.-NcW York Times.

THE LETTER TO MR.. ENGLISH.

UULI 1OJ lOOo'
To Hon. JVm. II. Engksh-DEAR SIR:
By direction of the Democratic National
Convention which assembled at Cincin-
natl on June 22d last, it becomes our
pleasant duty to notify you that you were
unanimously nominated by that body
for the office of Vice President of the Uni
ted States. Your large experience in af'
fairs of government, your able discharge
of many trusts committed to your hands,
your steadfast devotion to Democratic
principles, and the uprightuess of your
private characteH gave assurances to the
Democracy that you were worthy and
we'll qualified to perform the duties of
that high position, aud commended you
tc them for the nomination which they
conferred, while your public services
we'll merited this honor. The action of
the Convention was no doubt designed
not only to vindicate the appreciation of
of yourself, but as we'll to testify their
profound respect for the Democracy of
Indiana, your. native State, with whose
manly struggles you have been so long
identified and in whose glorious achieve
ments you have shared.
The Convention set forth its views
upon the leading political issues which
are now before the people in a
series of resolutions, copy of which
we have the honor to present to you,
and to which your attention is re-
spectfully requested. 1t is our earnest
hope that these views may meet with
your appreciation, and that you will ac-
cept the nomination which is now ten
dered you. With sentiments of high
esteem we are, respectfully,
JOHN W. STEVENSON.
President of the Convention.
NICHOLAS NJ. BELL, Secretary.

THE PLATFORM Cow STABLE.-With

CA. II. Reid, Philadelphia Mr.. Reid
claims the discovery Of no new principle
in his creamery, using deep cold setting.
His cans are different from any | have
yet described, being eight inches wide,
twenty inches deep, and long enough to
give the required capacity.
A gate fastened to projection on one
end of the can comes through one end of
the tank where it is fastened with screw
cap, and may be readily removed. A
small window shows the milk and cream
inside the can and each can has a cover
(shown on the lid of the tank, which
shuts down over the can into the water,
thus water-sealing each can. This cream
cry is compact and low, making it easy to
strain milk into.
The Revolution creamery is somewhat
similar in appearance to the Reid. having
the same shaped cans, though thinner
and set the other way in the tank. The
cans are hung in front on IN iron rod and
have n projecting lip or spout like the old
fashioned square spout of u strainer pail
When the rear of the cans are lifted by
handle made for the purpose, the lip pro
ects over the edge of the tank and tn,
cream runs off and afterwards the milk il
the same way The can being lifted quit
out of the water, may be turned complete
Iy over, resting bottom side up to drain o
dry.
regret not being able to secure a Gu
of this creamery.
Another deep, cold setter, notable no
for its construction only, but as the basi
of Il new system, is the Farlamb system
Davis & Fairlamb, Chicago, Ill.) Tn
cans are of uniform size, seventeen an
one half inches high, twelve inches i
diameter at the top and ten at the bottom
with an arrangement for the cooling fror

" Orange county system The first was
a pan about six inches deep and of suff-
cient size to hold the milk from one milk
ing of the herd. Four of these pans were
required for set, and the milk was allow
ed to stand thirty-six or forty-eight hours,
as desired.
This pan had second or false bottom.
with space between them through which
cold water was made to flow, with the idea
of securing a lower and more even tenn
perature in hot weather, or hot water was
poured in in winter to raise the tempera-
ture.
The Orange county system used cans of
about twenty inches depth and eight
inches in diameter, which were set in
wooden tanks as they were filled with
milk and the tanks filled with cold water ,
which came up outside the cans as high as
the milk inside. Mr.. F. d. Douglas of
Whiting varied this somewhat, using pals
of the ordinary size, about twelve quarts,
used substantially as described above.
The next step in pans was the making
Of second pun, in which the milk pan
was suspended, leaving space around
the sides of the pan AS well as under the
bottom, and cold water was made to flow
around rs well as under the milk pan.
which gave more cooling surface and i'm

o1s patents of this idea, varying chiefly in
devices for utility and not differing mate
rally in principle.
The next device for public favor was a
startling one Heretofore it had been uni.
verSallv accepted as fact, that milk must
necessarily stand at least thirtv-six hours tc
get allitS cretm; that it should have a Ger.
tain amount of light and free ventilation
that all animal odors might pass off.
The Cooley system, brought out by Mr..
William Cooley of Waterbury, and made
by the Vermont Farm Machine Company
of Bellows Falls boldly took the ground
that there were no injurious or offensive
odors in the milk of healthy cows properl,
fed; and his cans. nine inches in diamete,
and nineteen inches deep, who filled witt
milk were covered loosely by an inverted
pun, the cans set in an iron-lined, wooden
tank, the covers fastened down, and tber
the tank filled with cold running or ic,
water, completely covering the cans. A
better idea of its appearance may be hac

MosELEY S CABINET CREAMERY,

(Moseley & Stoddard, Poultney,) might
from its general appearance, be taken for
the Wooster by careless observer, but it
differs from that materially, and is con
structed upon different theory.
The theory Of currents" is discarded
in the Moseley, and the milk is cooled the
length of the can; the can appearing
through the open doors Of the cabinet above
not being the milk can, but larger one in
which the milk can sets, leaving u space
of about half an inch between the two for
the ice water, the theory being that less
ice will be required to bring the tempera-
ture down to the desired point where there
is so small an amount of water to cool,
while cooling from the entire surface OF
the can with which the milk is in contact
In this can the milk is drawn from the
bottom through an Illuminated faucet,
which shows when the cream approx ches
the outlet These cans are readily removes
for repairs or any other purpose, wher
desired, by unscrewing a rubber pnckeC
nut on the bottom of the can which holds
it in place and makes it water,tight.

FERGUsoN's BUREAU CREAMERY,

ferguson Bureau Company, Burlington
This differs materially in theory and con
struction from the deep, cold and half
cold setting systems before described.
This, as the name indicates, is "bu.
reau," the drawers of which are milk
pans, with space above for ice and one
below for the cream pail, etc. The pans
are of such size as to hold one milking of
the herd, and thus four pans are required,
and the milk stands from thirty six to
forty-eight hours. The pans placed as
shown in the cut stand on rollers, an adj
Unstable track is placed for the pan to be
used, the pan rolled out for the milk to be
strained into it, then rolled back into the
bureau and the door closed
Mr.. Ferguson believes milk should stand
thirty-sx hours to make the best butter
that air of about 600 is the best medium
for its setting and cooling and his appara-
tus was made to give good June
weather" the the year round. A pipe
running through its lower part covers at
one end, outside the bureau, a kerosene
lamp in winter which gives sufficient heat
to maintain tine desired temperature. The
cream from this method more resembles
that of the large open pans first named,
being of thicker consistence and much
loco in hulk than that ,btaipad fro,,, ,.,o..
cold setting, because of the much greater
exposure IF surface and less depth Of
milk and longer standing to obtain more
perfect operation. These, so far as we
know, comprise those methods in general
use which are the product Of Vermont
genius and experiment. .......

out. leaving vacuum between the milk
and the cover above. As before said, l
have no reliable information to give of its
workings, nor do | know where such in
formation can now be obtained.
Having constantly in view the object oil
giving full and correct description of each
system in use. the theory on which it was
constructed and the merits claimed for it
without personal bias or prejudice, 1t Il
hoped this paper may meet the approval
and be of some slight service to my broth
er dairymen of Vermont.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1880-12-08

Mr.. Fairbanks idea is to have the cans
adopted by the dairymen of certain sec
ton, and have butter factory established
whose agent shall visit the farmers twice
II day and collect the cream.
Each can has glass scale in front.
graduated in inches, and each producer
gets credit for just the amount of cream
he has raised. The cans being of uni
form size and the milk set the same length
of time. it makes fair thing for buyer
and seller, and no chance for the pump OF
skimming. Besides perfect fairness it
has other advantages. 1t saves the trans.
portation of the milk, which is left al
home for calves or pigs, and saves the
work of making and caring for the butter
A decided innovation on all the ole
methods, and novelty as well, is the
| Centrifugal machine for separating cream
from milk by mechanical force. This
method of obtaining cream was expert
nented on in Germany more than twenty
years ago, but it was not developed and
perfected till many years later. The first
one exhibited in this country. to my
knowledge, was at the dairy fair in New
York last December, and one has been in
constant use on Mr.. Edward Burnett
farm at Northboro, Mass, for more than
year, and is probably the largest in the
world, Dreaming about two tons of milk
per day. This machine was made by d.
NJ. Weston of Boston, Mass, and its de-
scription will nearly apply for any one Of
these machines. 1t is constructed in all
respects like hydro extractor, or a ma
chine for taking water out of clothes, ETC..
except that the walls of the cylinder are
not perforated.
Mr.. Burnelt's machine is an iron cylin-
der of about twenty-four inches diameter
and ten inches high, and fange around

Mr.. Lincoln's theory is that if the milk
is not cooled at once on being set, before
the cream rises, the cream covering the
top of the milk will prevent the escape
of heat upward from it, and twice the
amount of ice will be required where the
cooling process, going on more slowly,
finds considerable of the warmth remain
ing after the cream has gathered and COW
cred the top of the milk.
