was to march direct to Harrisburg,
where the army was to be concen-
trated, and it was this understand
ing that Stuart separated from the
main,army, and moved through Han
over towards Carlisle.
Col. Swallow will follow this ar
ticle by others describing the battle
OF Gettysburg, and his story is GER
tain to attract general attention
north and south, as it is a most in
teresting contribution to war his
tory. The movements of the vari-
GUS commands are followed with
great care and are described with
accurate lucidity and a clear com
prehension Of the apparent pur-
pose 3of the commanders. What
Col. Swallow has to say concerning
the course of Genl. j. E. B. Stuart,
and the manner in which he execu-
ted the orders entrusted to him, is
especially worthy Of attention; as
accepting the position he assumes,
the responsibility for the failure at
Gettysburg can no longer be placed
upon the shoulders of this brave
and daring Owmander.

They will not make compost.
They breed to and from scrubs.
They do not curry their horses.
They have no shelter for stock.
They put Off greasing the wagon.
They are welded to old methods.
They give no atten ton to details.
They have no method or system.
They see no goad in a new thing.
They let their fowls roost in trees.
They weigh and measure stingily.
They leave their plows in the
field.
They hang their harness in the
dust.
They take no pleasure in their
work.
They never use paint on the farm.
They prop the barn door with a
rail.
They milk the cows late in the
day.
They starve the calf and milk the
cow.
They think small things not i'm
portant.
They let their gates sag and fall
down.
They do not keep up with i'm
provements.
They don't know the best is the
cheapest.
They do not read the best books
and papers.
They think the buyer of a sue
cessful neighbours stock at good
prices is fool and the seller very
"lucky."
They sell hay, grain and straw
off the farm ipstead Of turing them
into meat, cheese and butter, and
increasing their supply Of manure.

Suggestion to Discarded Lovers.

The depression CT spirits and
nervous exhaustion, for the relief
of which many persons fly to large
or repeated doses of alcohol, may
be much more effectually combatted
by salvolatile (aromatic spirits of
ammonia) in suitable doses, say a
drachm. This restores the spirits
and rouses the energy in remark
able manner; and is free from the
pernlcious effects attending the Use
or abuse of whisky and brandy.

DAIRY DEPARTMENT.
The average weight of milk is
81 lbs. per gallon.

The average weight of milk is
g lbs. per gallon.
Many a dairyman might reduce
the number of his cows one-half
and make more clear profit than
from the larger number.
The care of milk is not as well
understood as it shonld be by
many farmers families. Milk can
not be exposed to deleterlous infu-
ences--such as the bad odor of the
stable, moldy and impure milk
room, and many other things which
could be mentioned-without being
contaminated. The milk must be
properly cooled and its tempera-
ture kept regular, either by natu-
ural or artificial means. In fact the
milk is as a rule handled too care
lessly for making the highest quail
ity of butter.
Winter dairying pays best, and
every farmer, as well as every dali
ryman, should have a part of his
COWS come in the fall, so as to make
as much butter and sell as much
milk as possible in the winter time,
while these products are high. An
effort should always be made to pre-
vent cows calving in the hot months
of July and August, when milk and
butter are both unsaleable. Besides
this, cows never do so well that
calve in these months as when
they calve either earlier or later.
All feed which the cow can be
Induced to eat that she will turn
into milk is clear profit, but all she
consumes that is necessary to main
tain her physical condition is out
lay. The profit of keeping the
COW depends upon the excess in
proportion of the feed which she
consumes that turns into milk over
what is required to maintain her
condition. Then it is important
in choosing a COW for dairy purpo-
ses that one be selected which has
natural tendency toward turning
the larger share of her feed into
milk instead Of into fat and flesh.
The dairyman has no more
ground for being discouraged than
the majority of business men at the
present time, and those who sell off
their COWS now because dairyiEg
don't pay will likely be buying them
back again before long at quite an
advance on the price at which they
sold. Nearly everything dis dull,
and this season OF the year is al
ways especially dull for dairymen;
and they expect to give their
business a fair chance before quit
ting they should at least wait and
see what cold weather will bring
forth IN the way of change.
The American Dairyman says:
"The ari:of butter making will never
reach perfection until we stop put
ting salt in the butter. 1t is de
PRAYED taste that requires a salt
taste in butter. The most critical
judges in the old country never
think of allowing salt to come near
the butter, and after getting accus-
toned to it there is the difference
between the two that there is be-
tween salt and fresh fish, flesh or
other dried or prepared food. The
true epicure could eat a pound of
unsalted butter at a sitting. 1t will
be money in the dsiryman's pocket
when salt is abandoned in the dai-
ry." ALI the same We will take ours
sailed. Why we would just ae soon
eat meat and vegetable unsalted as
butter, and no doubt the majority
of consumers think about theIsame.

What a Baby Can Do.

1t can wear out a ST. pair of kid
shoes in "a hours.
1t can keep its father busy adj
vertising in the newspapers for a
nurse.
1t can occupy both sides of the
largest size bed manufactured sim
ultaneously.
1t can cause it's father 10 be in
suited by every second class board
ing house keeper in the city who
''never take children" which nine
cases out of ten is very fortunate
for the children.
1t can make itself look like a
fiend just when mama wants to
show "what a pretty baby she is"
1t can make an old bachelor in
the adjoining room use language
that, if uttered on the street, would
get him in the penitentiary for two
years.
1t can go from the furthest end
of the room to the foot of the stairs
in the hall adjoining quicker than
its mother can just step into the
closet and out again.
1t can go to sleep "like a little
angel" and just as mama and papa
are starting to the theatre it can
wake up and stay awake until the
last act.
These are some of the things that
a baby can do. But there are 9th
er things as well. A baby can
make the commonest home the
brightest spot on earth. 1t can
tighten the burdens of a loving
mothers life by adding to them. 1t
can fatten It's dirty little face
against the window pane in such a
way that the tired father can see it
as a picture before he rounds the
corner. Yes, babies are great in
situations, particularly ones own
baby.

cans The Evils and How
Restored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take a high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its unframed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
Jean people are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quali-
fications; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
TO be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus s. Co., Springfield, o.,
writes We are having a good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needham, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: / have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. l was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUNA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA safe and
grand medicine"

Mother or Nurse2

Marion Harland, in the course OF
an article on this important topic
in Babyhood, says:
The mischief wrought by an in
competent nurse is beyond calcula-
ton by earthly standards of gain or
loss; the wrong accomplished by
the deceit, unsoundness of moral
principle, or vicious temper of a wo-
man in this position outlasts our
generation. The awful sum-total
is known only to the omniscient
father, who knows and pities all.
In admitting these truths, which
no parent will deny, a direct ques-
tion opposes the further discussion
of our subject: Ought not every
mother to undertake the sole charge
of her infant?
The reply is numbered with many
conditions.
If she is widow, without other
children, with no other duties in
life, and in such robust health that
she can, without injury to the child
or herself, discharge the offices of
wet-nurse, cook, nursery maid, teach
er and mother-yes
If she has a husband whose claim
upon her time and thought only
death can annul, children who must
be watched and taught, social duties
which for the sake of her family and
kind she may not ignore, if her ply
steal and intellectual we'll being is a
matter of vital Importance to her
family no!
Our enemies themselves being
Judges, American mothers are the
most devoted in the world. Our
friends-and ENTHUSIASTICALLY
agree that it is not altogether the
fault of the climate that our women
break down prematurely in looks
and strength. 1t seems ungracious
to call that devotion short-sighted
that gave baby dotting thrall for
the first years of his existence, and
entailed upon the man the burden
of an infirm woman who outlived
her usefulness just when the lad
most needed the counsel and incen
tive no hireling can give.
AS matters now stand, our nurse
ry-maids are drawn from a class
whose alterations of hurtful in
diligence and brutal severity in the
government of their own offspring
are only surpassed by their ignor
ance of hygienic principles. Let
your initial effort with such he to
create in her a conscience. 1t is
very unlikely that lectures on nur-
sery dietetics, ventilation, unfosoria,
and fixed hours will Ieaven the
soggy dough of her mind. There
fore impress yourself, ingeniously
and with might. Possess her with
the idea that you are the ruling
spirit of the establishment, and that
your will is absolute in the nursery.
Issue clear and distinct directions,
then see, not ask, if they are obey
ed. 1t is practical to do this with
out mourning the odium of spying.
The mothers is the right to visit
the nursery at all hours, to take the
child in her arms whenever the
mood seizes her; now ard then to
battle and dress him herself or to
prepare his food; to inspect draw
ers and closets when she will, even
during "the competent's" reign.

Any person, however i'll informed,
might easily get at the exact height
of tree when the sun shines, or
during bright moonlight, by max

feet apart, and then placing in the

three feet out of the soil. When
the end of the shadow of the stick
exactly touches the furtherest line
then also the shadow of the tree
will be exactly in length the same
measurement of its height OF
course, in such a case, the sun will
be at an angle of 450. Measure

effected in the summer, when the

good height in the heavens and
when the trees are clothed with
living green, so as to cast a dense

Do You Want to Sell Your Farm9

Jones q White have already had
several farms placed with them to
sell and have already had a buyer
in tow. The excursion here next
month will be the opening wedge in
their business and will doubtless
lead to many sales. If you desire
to sell, place your lands in their
hands at once so they may bring it
directly to the attention of the ex
cursionists next month. Some
hold back believing they can trade
themselves with buyers. 1t will be
difficult for you to do so. There
have been so many swindles per-
petuated by individuals in selling
lands with bad titles and no titles
that buyers are shy of them. They
know that when the agent advertises
he has Investigated the title. 1t
will not cost you a cent to place
your land with Jones d White and
it will facilitate matters if you will
not pull against them. We may
reasonably expect some good sales
to result from this excursion. Mr.
White is a northern man himself
and is just the man to sell to them.
