Who Killed Stonewau Jackson,

DR.. ID. w. Busick. of this county, who
since the war hes been Register of
Deeds, was one of the soldiers that
started with the litter that bore General
Jackson off the field that fearful night
at Charlottesville. AS an historical
incident, from so worthy source DIR.
Busicks version of the affair is worth
giving. He says that jackson was not
shot by our own men. He was lying
that right by the road down which the
Yankees were sweeping with canister
and mimic, when General jackson
crossed the road and was shot. His
aid called out and Busick was one Of
the men that ran to him. He carried
the corner of the litter as they went
through the woods, where the men were
living so thick that he stepped on a
mans leg, and the fellow, pulling his
leg away, tripped him up, and he fell,
another soldier springing up and taking
his place at the litter. They evidently
thought he was shot, and history so has
it that one of the men at the litter was
shot down. But not so. DR.. Busick
was that man. In his opinion that
jackson was not shot by his own men
he is borne out by many other old sol.
diers who were present. Mr.. Robert.
son, near Pelham, in Caswell County
was lying on the road had his gun-bar
rel bent by shot from the same charge
that swept the road just about the time
that jackson was killed. He sprang
into the woods.-Reidsrille IN. c..

Sell by Weight.

Progress in some things is slow.
Many years ago nearly everything was
sold by measure by the bushel, quart,
gallon, etc. Fifty years ago salt was
measured in a half bushel, and so was
flour. But there has been great prog
ress made in many articles. But there
is reform demanded in others. There
is great injustice done to both buyer
and seller to sell eggs by the dozen.
The eggs of the improved breeds OF
hens are twice rs heavy as are the
product of the common scrub stock.
There are constant frauds in the quart
or fruit boxes of small fruits, There
are shortages, steaings ani leakings in
every box. Honest scales will not thus
cheat. Besides boxes, packages or
measures which are professedly put up
for bushel, barrel, gallon, quart or
pint. and which fall short. are fraud
on the public, and should be avoided
by changing the rule to testing every
thing by standard measures or scales
There is as much certainty in selling
wool by the fleece at a standard for all
ileeces, as to sell eggs by the dozen, or
hay by the load. The only right way
of selling all farm products is by
weight. Justice can be done in no
other way. This is the best standard
for selling potatoes, tomatoes, wheat,
barley, oats, apples, berries, eggs, but.
ter chickens, turkeys, hogs and beeves
Let us have no exceptions. At present
the exceptions are where the greatest
frauds are perperated. Let us have
an opportunity OF ordering by telephone
from our grocer ten pounds OF eggs =

THE DAIRY.

When cows have free access to salt
they will not take it to excess.h But 1t
is better to give them alsmall handful,
about one ounce, each dayin theirfeed,
or otherwise, which is proper and
healthful quantity. itltF''
I'm all cases COW should be MIXED
regularly and stripped quite clean. No
doubt this has much to do in forming
good milking tribes of cattle, by en-
couraging the milk-giving organs as far
ms possible. Where calves are allowed
to suck in the open field this cannot be
attended to, and is one great cause OF
the Hereford's not giving so much milk
as they would under other oircumstan-
ces.-EnoiiSh Agriculturat Gazette.
Poison ivy, or, what is more prob
able poison sumac, which grows in
swamps and is bush, will easily SO
poison the skin of the legs, udder and
teats OF q COW as to produce sores,
exudation, thickening and cracking OF
the skin. The remedy is to clear out
this poisonous plant or keep tile cows
out of the swamp. The sores should be
dressed with lead ointment or bathed
with lead extract. Poison ivy is q
creeping vine, while the poison sumac
is bush, with leaves much like those
of elder.-N. Y. Times.
Pastures usually run short in Au.
gust or later, and then something must
be fed to keep the cows from shrinking
their milk. The comparative ease with
which fodder corn is grown makes that
the more general crop for the purpose
Most crops have some objections against
them, but fewer practical men can be
found objecting to green corn fodder
than other crops equally economical
So far as experience and testimony go
green corn fodder, properly grown ant
fed, yields the greatest amount of milk
and flesh, for the same expenditure, OF
any crop that has vet been grown fol
the purpose.
Dairy farmers are beginning tc
manifest some wisdom. In converse
ton with number of them lately, who
live in this and adjoining counties, we
learn that they have wisely concluded
to raise their best heifer calves to sup
ply their dairies with. This is the be
ginning of wisdom on their part. Dur
ing the past year the dairymen of this
section, say within radius of tifteer
miles of Elgin, have paid for COW:
alone from Sl25,000 to Sl50,000, and
this constant drain is what tells on the
profits. We know that many of the
farmers think it is too much trouble tt
raise the calves, but we know that i
will pay to do so. Try it for two o.
three years and see. Raise the heifer:
from the best cows of course. Etgi'

Kindly Treatment of Domestic Animals.

Nothing can be more foolish than the
attempt to catch either a horse, COW,
pig, sheep or dog by running after it.
How many futile attempts to catch a
horse have been made in pursuance of
the above method How many times
has the horse, just as the hired man was
about to walk up to its head and at the
point of catching it, made Il sudden
wheel and shown the brightness of its
shoes. AT this juncture we have seen
little boy who had never struck the
horse with whip, but who had given
the animal many an apple in days gone
by, stroking him and playing with him
at the time we have seen even this
little fellow take the horse quietly by
the foretop, and together they would
60 to any desired point. Or perhaps a
lady makes her appearance, in whom
the horse recognizes friend who has
frequently regaled him with lump of
sugar. He does not even wait for the
lady to come to him; for he goes to her,
and the simple lump of sugar will en-
able his mistress to lead the noble horse
to his stall, task which all the chasing
and yelling of the hired man has failed
to accomplish. The intelligent animal
is attracted neither by the personal ap-
pearance nor the tone of voice of the
rough fellow who strives to rule by
force alone.
Another individual attempts by run
ming and yelling to catch his COW OF
cows. Why do these naturally gentle
animals run away from himp Because
they remember full well that on former
occasions, when he has succeeded in

in managing them as we wishp There
is hollow place on the head of every
COW, just behind the junction of the

short hairs and the like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. 1t is a
source of extreme pleasure to the cow

ing gold for $l7 900 worth of government
bonds. He kept his money in an cd
fashioned safe, under the stairs in the
hallway of his residence. The party OF
burglars were five in number. -Four
of them gained admittance. The Bald
win family slept up stairs and the first
intimation they had Of the burglary
was the noise produced by blowing
open the safe with powder. George
Lewis, Baldwin's son-in-law, fired
three shots at the burglars as they left
the house with the bags Of gold in their
arms. The burglars returned yolley
but noone on either side was in ured the
robbers had previously taken two Of
Baldwin's s horses aud his best carriage
aud had LETT them standing near the
residence. They Jumped into the buggy
aud escaped, going south. 1t is bellev-
ed that Baldwin was robbed by the
gang of professionals that is working
the section composed of Western PENN
sylvania and Eastern Ohio, from some
point in which a safe blowing operation
is reported nearly every day. a simi-
lar robbery was perpetrated at Erie a
night or two ago, and there, as at Bald
wins the thieves drove off with the
horses aud carriage of the man they
plundered. Areward OF 81, 900 has been
offered for the arrest and conviction Of
