During the siege of Nashville a
Confederate battery placed upon a
hill was seriously annoying part
of Pap Thomas line. Riding up to
Col. James BrOWnlow tho old
ruzrrI said T: "COl. BrOWnlOW, l want
those guns, and / want them bad"
at the same time pointing with his
sword toward the offending battery.
Drawing his sword and stepping
out in front of his line, Col. Brown,
low stepped in front of his regiment
and said /: "Men, the old man says
he wants those guns, and s,tys he
wants them bad !" Everybody was
silent for moment, and then a six
fOoter in the ranks sung out: "Boys
if old Pap wants them guns he
oughter have them. Let's all chip
in and buy them for him, for it
looks mighty unhealthy up that
way" 4 perfect storm of Taught
ter swept along the line, and then
the boys started up for the guns and
got them for the old man, though
many poor fellow who started Tor
them never got back again.

Seven Points i'm Milk Setting.

A correspondent-who says he has
succeeded so well in making butter by
following the directions given in the
Tribune that he is able to take premi-
ums at the county fairs-complains that
the Tribune has never told him what
dreamer is best. He uses the common
pans and hesitates as to what change
he had better make for dairy of ten
to twelve COWS. Among the many ex-
cellent modes for raising cream would
not like to say which is best, if indeed
any one is best under all circumstances.
1t will suffice to state few general
principles and let each one decide for
himself. 1. To make the finest favored
and housekeeping butter the cream
must undergo a ripening process by ex-
posure to the oxygen of the air while
it is sweet. This is best done while it
is rising. The ripening is very tardy
when the temperature is low. 2. After
cream becomes sour the more ripening
the more it depreciates. The sooner it
is then skinned and churned the bet
ter, but it should not be churned while
too new. The best time for skimming
and churning is just before acidity be-
comes apparent ). Cream makes bet
ter butter to rise in cold air than TO rise
in cold water, but it will rise sooner in
cold water, and the milk will keep
sweet longer. 4. The deeper milk is
set the less airing the cream gets while
rising. 5. The depth of setting should
vary with the temperature; the lower it
is the deeper milk may be set the higher
the shallowerit should be. Milk should
never be SET shallow in q low tempera-
ture nor deep in high one. Setting
deep in cold water economies time,
labor and space. 6. While milk is
standing for cream to rise the purity of
the cream, and consequently the fine
flavor and keeping of the butter, will
be injured if the surface of the cream is
exposed freely to air much warmer than
the cream, Z. When cream is colder
than the surrounding air it takes up
moisture and impurities from the air.
When the air is colder than the cream
it takes up moisture and whatever es-
capes from the cream. In the former
case the cream purities the surrounding
air; in the latter the air helps to purify
the cream. The selection of creamer
should hinge on what is most desired
highest quality or greatest convenience
and economy in time, space and labor.

THE DAIRY.

AS the success of dairying depends
almost wholly upon the skill with
which milk is handled before and dur
ing its manufacture and as some of the
processes require considerable manuel
skill to attain the best results it is be-
ing urged that it would be good thing
to establish cooperative dairy schools
of some sort in the dairy districts of the
country. Such schools are maintained
by government in Germany, Sweden,
France, England and Russia.
Cheese making depends upon the
existence in milk of caseine, substance
which when pure is found to be an acid
and only slightly soluble in water. 1t
can be obtained nearly pure by coagu-
lating SKINNED milk with vinegar or
dilute acid and forming a jelly-like
substance made by an intimate mixture
of curd and whey. These soon sePa
rate and the whey being drained off
and the residue repeatedly washed and
kneaded with pure water, almost pure
caseine will be obtained. 1t can be
further purified by dissolving in weak
solution of soda, and being left to stand
for twelve hours and then repeatedly
washed and boiled, which will get rid OF
all the cream and the milk salts.
-Rennet.-Rennet may be made in
large quantities by sleeping the sailed
and dried stomachs of calves in warm
water, or warm whey, for twenty-four
hours The water should be about
milk or blood heat, and no warmer.
The liquid is skinned and sailed to
saturation; that is. until no salt will be
taken up, and little is left at the bot
tom of the jar. 1t gains strength up to
the age of two months. The stomachs
may be sailed again and dried and kept
for some months, when they may be
again stepped. Two quarts of water OIL
half of each mixed, are used to each
stomach. If the stomachs cannot be
procured, the prepared liquid rennet
can always be purchased of the dealers
iu dairy supplies.-N. Y Times.
--Cheddar Cheese. The system Of
making cheese known as the Cheddal
is based on the method of drawing the
whey from the curd while it is YET
sweet, and of setting the curd at low
temperature. The milk is heated to
only seventy-eight or eighty degrees
when the rennet is added, and no fur
Their heat is applied until the curd is
set and broken up. The curd is ther
heated to one hundred degrees, and the
whey is drawn off before any acidity
becomes apparent without the closest
test by an experienced dairyman. The
curd is then aired in the vat. This is
in fact, process of oxidation, by
which certain degree of acid is pro
duced. When this point is reached the
curd is gathered up and pressed for E;
few minutes, to get rid of the whey
then ground, sailed and put to press.

The Hard Life Of an Actor.

The death of Harry Hunter, the
Lone fisherman" is an instance OF
the perils of an actors life. Nobody
outside of the profession has the slight
est idea of the terrible strain which con-
slant travel exerts on an actor. Last
year John Mccullough left Memphis
when the city was luXuriating in sum-
mer heat and travelled direct to st. Paul,
where the thermometer was below zero.
When the actors put away their ward
robe it was damp with perspiration, and
when they took it out again at st. Paul,
Just before the curtain was rung up, they
had to hurriedly force their limbs
through clothing frozen stiff. 1t is a
common occurrence for company to
play tonight in summer heat and to-
morrow night in mid-winter cold. II
was these sudden changes of tempera-
ture that killed Hunter. Then there is
the constantly varying hotel fare, a
comfortable room here and miserable
accommodation there, together with
unceasing riding in illy-ventilated cars
so that it is wonder that, aside from
the task of acting the mere business O
transportation does not kill every acto
in the country by the end of single
season.-Detr0H Free Press.

Fresh Butter.

IT has become settled maxim that
profitable dairying depends more upon
skill than latitude or longitude. The
expert makes "gilt edge" butter any
where across this broad continent.
Even Alabamahas outsold New York in
the Boston market. This was done some
two years ago by dairyman at Mont
gomery, by means of his skillful man.
agement in feeding his cows upon fresh
clover in winter. The butter came to
market with the aroma of June upon it.
1t stepped to the front, while New
York's choice October butter took "a
back seat" Our butter packages, as at
present constructed, do not permit of
the certain retention of the high flavor
and aroma of butter, kept for even
three months. The market calls for as
nearly fresh butter as possible, and this
causes inferior fresh butter to outsell
stored butter, that was much better
when fresh. This partiality for fresh
butter offers a strong inducement to
winter dairying; and the greatest OBJ
stacle to the production of the best
milk in winter is the absence OF green
food at that season. --NdtioaaL Lice

--Anapparatus for causing a bell toring
at any desired hour of the day is de.
scribed by L'ElectricHe, its arrangement
being as follows: 1t comprises lens
by means of which the solar rays are
concentrated and directed on a metallic
slip or strip, which is susceptible Of
great and very rapid dilation. The re.
suit of the dilation is electric contact,
giving passage to a battery current
which rings the bell. Although the sun
may be covered by clouds, caloritic
power is never diminished SO much as
not to dilate the strip. An interesting
question has been raised, namely, as tC
what the action of the moon would be
through lens of high magnifying pow
er, on very sensitive strip. The APP
paratus would also, perhaps, be sensi
tive of graduation with view to study
ing the radiating powers of the sun.

Trees Destroyed by a Small Insect.

Our primeval forests are now attacked
by a small but exceedingly destructive
insect that insidiously cuts into and kills
the monarchs of the woods. 1t is no.
ticeable that on forest lands where cut
ting has been prosecuted and the sun
light has been let into the tangled wild
woods, the trees are not attacked, and
the sun appears to be the natural ami
hilator of the pests. They, as yet, at
tack only spruce trees. 1t is the testi-
mony of Mr.. Jack, the Crown Land
Agent of the Province of New Bruins
wick, that the destroyer attacks the for
ests primeval. 1t is natures design that
the old trees should be cut down to make
room for new generations. The opera
ton Of the insect is as follows: In July
or August gay little beetle settles upon
the bark of the noblest trees, and lays a
few tiny eggs; after a short time a small
worm similar to maggot is Matched,
and then the busy work of the destroyer
begins. The worm eats his way to the
very heart of tree, until at last it falls
a wreck. So insidous is the operation
that many trees which are bored through
and through are green at the top and
apparently sounu, OUT oloW OF Cne axe,
or the force of gale, causes them to
fall, and their worthlessness is re-
vealed. At present, the trouble from
these pests is confined to the tim
Der country watered by the Upper Ken
nebec, and that in parts of Aroostook
and the provinces. In consequence of
the forests of New Brunswick having
been attacked, Alexander Gibson, Esq |,
will cause 50,000,000 feet of spruce to be
cut this winter on the Nashwaak, for if
left standing longer the worms would
render the lumber worthless. Bangor
