will say that it was an unnecessary
outrage, and ask who was responsible
for it. That is question that never
has been and never will be answered.
The Quartermaster's Department in
our war was very big thing; it made
woful blunders sometimes, for which,
generally speaking, nobody was held
accountable. But in this case some
higher authority was to blame.
For month the soldiers sickened
there aboard ship; some died; many
were left at the Hampton Hospital
when we went South. The largest
steamers drew twelve feet water, and
the men could only be taken ashore by
lighters. So they had to remain on
board. Fortunately for us on the
thames, our condition was different.
Although worse than useless as a sea
boat, she was light of draught, and
could go anywhere about the Roads.
We went over to Norfolk to coal, and
there our detachment was sent ashore
under the charge Of the writer, when
we took a pleasant march over to the
Fort, and had picnic in the woods.
The little city of Norfolk was strongly
secesh in those days, and was quiet
and listless under military occupation.
From there we steamed down to
Newport News, at the mouth of the
James, passing on tho way flag and
buoy, marking the spot where the
dreaded Merrimac was sunk. At the
News there were vacant log barracks
which had been occupied the previous
winter by the Seventeenth New York
Infantry. We took possession of them
for day and night, and made them
mildly lively. The men had liberty to
battle, and were astonished to find that
they could catch quantities of oysters,
which, though small, we're good. That
night, in the Lighthouse occupied by
several of us Officers aud gentlemen"
there was heard singing and story
telling, and our cares we're much
lightened. All, how time passes!
Lately I heard of the death
of Captain D. d. Bullock; and
it hardly seems possible that it
was twenty five years ago that he, with
his solemn face, garnished with great
black beard, his serious manner. and
his deep bass voice, sent us off into
shrieks of laughter there in that log
house by the James, with his inimita-
BILE story of how the minister tried to
preach from Job on a scorching hot
night on Mississippi steamboat; how
he was continually beset by cloud of
mosquitoes; how he would slap and paw
and scratch and grimace, while going
on with his sermon; how, finally, irri-
tated beyond endurance, ne wound up
with the assertion that sob was the
most patient man under trials that the
world has ever seen; but if he could be
here to-day, know he would say,
'The devil take these mosauitoes!"

river and the Fortress, with its ancient
graveyard and ruined church. said to

battle of Bull Run.
The intelligence came to young Rob-
erts' family that he was slain upon the
battlefield, and his body left to be-
buried by the victorious enemy. This
news nearly killed his affectionata
mother, and she and all the family went
into mourning for the patriotic youth.
For long months the family lamented
the dead. What then could depict
their unspeakable establishment when,
six months after the battle, the yoang
man entered the door of his home,
hearty and we'll.
Briefly told, his story was this: Il,
He had been left severely wounded
with many others on the battlefield.
After the fight was over and his friends
retreated, Confederate sold er, sup
posing young Roberts dead, began to
rifle his pockets. The Yankee revived,
and objected to this, whereupon the
man returned the articles he had taken
and gave him drink Of whisky. Then
he had the wounded foe carried to q
hospital, where he was cared for until
completely restored to health, after
which he was sent to Libby Prison.
He had tried to get letter to his
mother, hat without success. When,
at length, he was exchanged he raade
his way to Dodge lille without .lelay,
where for many day he was looked
on as one who had risen from tie dead.

THE DAIRY.
Why Stripping. are n,ch-,'

Why SfrippinUS are h'cneS
Prof. L. B. Arnold says: "While in the
number and arrangement of its cavities
sponge somewha resembles the interior OF
the udder, in one respect it Is quite differ
emit. The wall of the cavities in the sponge
are always distended, whether filled or
not, and If compressed, at once spring on
being released from the pressure. The
walls OF the milk tubes and reservoirs. and
the follicles or sacs at the extremities OF
their branches, are always collapsed and
in contact, except when kept apart by hav-
ing milk in them. With this constant in
clination in their walls to be in contact. it
must be evident that liquid would work
its way through them more easily than
solid. Milk, it must be remembered, is q
mixture of liquid and solid matter, as much
80 as a mixture of brine and meal would
be. The serum or liquid part Of milk is
water. holding sugar and cheesy matter in
solution, and the cream globules are par
ticles of fat in solid condition, and sus-
tain the same relation to the liquid part of
the milk that meal does to brine, especially
when mixed with brine just strong
enough to incline the meal to float. 1t it
was attempted to pass either of these mix
lures of liquid and solid through the milk
tubes, beginning at the follicles, the
liquids in either case would work along
more readily than tine solids. The meal in
one case, and the fat globules in the other,
would meet with impeachment from friction
with the collapsing walls of the slender
tubes, and would fall far behind in the
journey, and be dripping out in this last
running of the liquid, and this is just what
happens in the udder to make the last part
of milking richer in cream than the first.
The larger the globules of cream, the more
friction they meet with in moving along
the tubes. and the more gets left behind.
It is for this reason that in milk having
very large globules, like that of the Chan
mel Island cows, the difference between the
first and last of milking is greater than
lannon's Dutch cows"

though I trembled for my country
with heroic frmness and resolution.
Though felt certain that the enemy
would direct their fire upon me, and

ed over the ruins of the temple where
men had worshiped in the time of
King James l., and there our Chaplain
held service. Among the broken
stones and fallen monuments in the
graveyard, one was found which
showed by its almost illegible inscrip-
ton that Captain Wilson was there
buried, who died in 1901, aged one
hundred and twenty-eight years.
But I think that nothing about the
Roads so impressed us as the wrecks
of the Cumberland and Congress, sunk
by the Merrimac the previous spring,
and which lay near the shores of New
port News. The Congress went down
all afire. and, exploding near the land.
her blackened rim was visible above the
water. The Cumberland was fought
till the last, and sunk with her colors
flying. When we were there her masts
projected twenty feet or more out of
the water, the flag still at the main.
Some of our men went over in small
boat and secured relics from these
memorable wrecks
Lastly, we saw the brave little Mont

to go aboard of her, and have always
been glad that I did; for, few weeks
later, the noble vessel went down in O

So the days sped pleasantly enough
with at least one detachment of the
Banks Expedition in Hampton Roads.
Then there came change. One stormy.
threatening day of the first week of
December, the "blue peter" went up
at the mas head of the Baltic, there
was gun fired from the Fort, the
whistles screamed, the bands played,
and our fourteen steamers, in two long
lines, went out upon the Atlantic.

Ammunition Crop.

Il can look right out the window
here, said a Georgian, "and see the
ground where there was jist as hard
fighting done as there was anywhere
L was over in the field there to-day, and
as the pillow would go erlong and turn
up the dirt 1 could find an old piece of
Shermans shells every now and then.
1t looks like we never will get the balls
outen the ground, for every time you
pillow it and jist wait till er shower of
rain comes and sorter settle it down,
the dirt will wash often the balls and
leave 'em where you can see 'em.
This is the way it's been ever since the
war, and it looks to me like there has
been more balls and pieces of shell
picked up often that ground than it
would take to run or good-sized war,
and they didn't fight there but one day,
either"

Good Feed jo,' l.seeai,.y E.ces.

The prejudice against too high, feeding
of breeding animals of any kind is in, this
country chiefly due to the. fact that we feed
so largely on corn. That is not good food
for COWS: which if at all we'll bred are nat
urally disposed to lay on fat. But it is
no reason why other breeding stock should
not be. reasonably we'll fed 80 as at least to
be in good order when their young are
born. We are glad to see that j.. S. Wood
ward, secretary of the. New York Agsicul-
tural Society, recommends high feeding
for breeding ewes. He does not feed
largely on corn, but gives enough grain to
keep the ewes in high condition. A sheep
does not naturally take to fat as hog
does, and only by having the ewes il, good
order can their lambs be brought to the
right condition for early marketing.

A BREEDER of poultry says: every
spring procure quantity of cedar
boughs and scatter them plcntifully in ana
around the hen. house. The odor Of cedar
keeps away vermin. The remedy is simple
and effective"
To CURE pear blight, Wick recommends
cutting away oil blight parts and burning
them. then getting barrel Of salt and
scattering it around as far as the roots ex-
tend, say eight or ten feet, at least one
half peck to tree.
FARMERS who become faint and fretful
if compelled to wait a short time later than
usual for the breakfasts, should know that
the effect of irregularity upon animals and
poultry is yet more preiudicial. Feed your
stock at regular hours.
SPRING is the season of the year for
farmers to grant their boys small patches
of ground each for their own amusement
and use, encouraging them to raise some
thing" Such course will increase their
love of home and the farm.

ONE important secret of successful
farmers is to adopt systematic custom
of keeping up the fertility of the soil by
the most economical appliances. Peat,
mari, muck, or rich swamp soil are cheaply
obtained in many places, and increasing
barn-yard manure should never be neg
lected.
EVERY practical man will learn the pc

and when he does he will find out things
to do which will often prevent sickness, or
at all events help to keep his horse in a

ness of the animal.

THE POULTRY HOUSE.
Poultry for Special Regions.

F0Wtry 1Of Special regions.
The Countess of Falmouth, England, in
letter to Vinton's Gasette, suggests that
the breeders of pure bred poultry in each
part of the country seek to learn what
breed or breeds of fowls ore best suited to
district, and then do their best to induce
the farmers and others to adopt those
breeds, or as We say, to make specially
of them. This inspires the editor OF
American Poultry journal to say:
"We believe this is matter that our
American breeders should think of and
make an effort 10 get together and decide
upon the relative merits of varieties or
breeds in each part of the United States.
In country SO extensive as America,
which embraces every variety of climate,
there can be no doubt but that in the great
variety of pure bred fowls, that we now
that will do better in one part of the coun =
try than in any other. The different breeds
of fowls which are now raising i'll America

prove their value? Why should Leg
