THE DAIRYAIAN.
Dairy Notes.

"a query about how to keep milk
twenty-four hours in shipping it, the
Farming World says: Add to the milk
a small quantity Of bicarbonate of soda.
This addition is by no means injurious
to health; on the contrary, bicarbonato
of soda promotes digestion. One of the
principal daries of Paris employs no
other method but this for preserving the
milk while on sale.
A WRITER in the Dairy world tells
that mice know butter from oleomarga-
rine. Dishes soiled with pure butter
and oleomargarine were left during q
night where they were inspected by
mice. They licked the platter clean"
where pure butter had been, but the
plates creased with oleomargarine were
untouched. Farther experiments were
made and in every case the mice feasted
men.
The Guernsey COW is good, strong
farmers COW. weighing usually from 900
to 1000 pounds and over; They have
good bones and muscles. Their calves
are good size and make good veal; they
have good, hardy constitutions, are good
feeders, and will bear forcing when but
ter brings remunerative prices. They
have beautiful yellow skin, conse
quently they produce yellow butter,
even in winter. Their butter needs no
artificial coloring at any season of the
year, relieving ones conscience from
the burden of deceit. They have quiet,
even disposition. Their teats are of good
size; they give good flow of milk nearly
to calving time, and frequently they can
not be dried off even for the good of the
cow, or the calf they are carrying.
HENRY STEWART says: "The ripening
of the cream seems to be the great hobby
of the cranks, who don't know that
years ago most of the butter was made
by churning the sweet milk every day,
and that this is done frequently now
where the butter milk is In demand, and
there were cows then whose. milk thus
churned made 16 OR "a pounds of butter
a week. Nor were our fathers or grand
they got all the butter Of the milk, or
threw good butter away to the pigs. And
it was not long ago when these same
ripening cranks were insisting that
sweet cream made the best and most
butter"
IF q COW is at all fit for the dairy she
will bear good feeding with grain any
time after her calf is week cid, says
Hoard DGtrymG7,, and she shows no
symptoms of fever or caked bag. Grain
is especially needful after she is turned
out to pasture. The succulent grass
stimulates large flow of milk, but there
is little substance in it. The COW must
furnish the fat from herself to make the
milk rich enough. A really good cow
will not fatten, no matter how high she
Is fed during the first flow Of milk, but
it may make her yield so largely as to
require that her milk be drawn three
times in "a hours. This is often done
tremely exhaustive to milk If a COW is
poor1y fed.

company OF

the regiment, was in the advance, with
orders to keep about one-quarter mile
in advance of the regiment. But as no
one supposed that there was an enemy
anywhere in that region, they We're
careless about the rule and were at
least mile in advance and riding
carelessly along singing some of the
war songs of the day, Captain &c
riding at the head of the company and
Corporal Joe short distance in the
rear to see that no one struggled. The
weather was warm and the Corporal
was fat, and, thinking it good time
to rest, was riding sidewise, his
thoughts wandering back to his sweet
heart and Faderland 1t was while the
force was riding on q down-hill grade
in a narrow lane, with just room enough
for two to ride abreast comfortably,
and pretty deep washout at each side,
that this incident occurred. At the
foot of the hill, hidden by the brush,
was a scouting party of rebel
cavalry with q onc-gun bat
terry. They had observed the
approach of Company +, and seeing
no others, thought it was small scout
ing party Of the Yanks, and concluded
to wake them up. The first intimation
of an enemy was the report of the can
non and the screeching of the shell over
our heads, bursting pretty close to
Corporal Joe. Every horse about faced
and started for the rear, not waiting
for orders, Joe's horse in the advance
But, ooh, no, not for Joe;" for as his
horse wheeled around, he-sitting OF
sidewise-was thrown flat upon his face,
across the road, and before he could re-
cover from his establishment the horses
of his comrades had commenced to
jump over him. Fearing the feet of
the horses, Joe Rugged his mother
earth very closely, if not afiectionately.
Capt. &c had been little in ad-
vance of the company, so that on
wheeling around it left him correspond
ingly in the rear. His horse not being
as fast as the others, by the time Com
pany r had jumped Joe there was quite
distance between company and Cap
tain, and Joe thought it was about time
to "get up and git" But just as he
had assumed the all-fours position the
Captain was ready to pass to the rear,
and the rebs we're getting the range
and firing as fast as they could load
their one gun. The Captain was in too
much of q hurry to wait for Joe to
gather himself out of the way. He
yelled out the command, "Stoop leetle,
Joe; 1 chumps too" Joe stopped
a leetle," and the Captain and horse
went over successfully. The whole
party escaped without injury.

THE sEAMsTREss.
Aprons.

Very pretty aprons are made of q
square of linen scrim, o hem of about
wo inches in width, and above that al
ternate places where the threads are
drawn cut about fourth of an inch and
left plain for the Same distance. Into
the open spaces tho narrowest ribbon is
run in aad out of every three or four
threads. The ribbons are of contrasting
oolors, and the border thus formed is
unique. One apron made in this way
has rainbow colers in the border. An
other way is to hem the scrim both ends;
in one hem ran pink, satin ribbon to
full it on and to serve for strings. Hem
stitch the other hem and enbroider a
spray of pink flowers on one side. Turn
the other Corner over on the right side
of the material, and fasten with a bow
of pink and dark green ribbons. These
have very dashy little look, and are
especially pretty for young ladies. A
very good apron for maid is clothes
pin apron made Of two pieces of tick
ing the same size; these are fastened
together in band for the waist, the
piece of ticking make two round holes
large enough to admit the hands, bind,
or stitch firmly around the edge. This
is convenientGfor hanging out or taking
in clothes, and the pins oan'be kept in
it and be always ready for use. A very
neat little apron can be made Of the
plaided crash or glass towing. Work
the alternate squares in two rows with
red crewel stars, this makes a border,
and if washed crewel is used the apron
is very durable, and will retain its
beauty after being Numbered DEM

THE sTOCK-BKEEDER.
Fattcning Pigs.

Iwould never begin with high feed if
had ever SO much to do with, says A. P.
Reed, in the Grange Bulletin. It is
never good policy to stuff pig at the
start, if indeed it is policy to do SO at
ell.
Perhaps am somewhat Of an oddly
in my theories about pig raising. In the
first place do not believe in having
very old hogs anyway if the health of
the people 10 to be looked at.
I consider pork one year old, old
own eating I prefer it under this. A pig
four weeks old the LIST of May, kept in a
clean place, with healthful food, and
killed at Thanksgiving time, is model
pork for me.
Another point: do not favor excess
size fatness in pigs, for excessive fat
ness is q disease in beast as we'll as in
man. The pig is naturally gourmant;
and soon becomes diseased it allowed to
stuff. While lean pigs are at discount,
and are not desirable in the sense COM
monty meant, yet a pig with goodly
amount of muscular development as we'll
as good proportion of fat, makes prob
ably the best pork, both rs healthfua-
ness and usefulness in the household
economy. To this end pigs should have
of food that will make work for them,
instead of being fed altogether on some
thing that will run right down their
threats while being kept in a place
where they have room simply to turn
round from the trough and lie down to
grunt.
Give the pig clean pen and he will
generally form some habits of neatness
and live up to them even when he gets
to feed the LATEST.
As to food, l would suggest a good,
caean vegetable diet, composed of corn
on the cob, meal-this is to be fed mostly
n the pig naa beets
and milk.
These foods and some others in this
line are comparatively handy on every
farm. The poor farmer who hasn't much
feeding upon these other things with
tbs meal leff56ut altogether, unless We
exeeptthe last two months Of keeping,

anywhere in the Confederacy would
not have had half the chance. '
IL was some time during that fall
That an Ohio soldier. Frank Beyerstocl-
ny name. was returning to his home
near Mansfield. He had been throngh
long and severe experience: Ind haen
long IN the Southern prisons, and was
80 fortunate as to be included in a
special exchange of ten thousand. He
was on his way home from Annapolis.
Near Newark he happened to get
MS eye on man dressed in citizens
clothes who sat behind him. The most
noticeable feature of this man is de-
scrlbed as "a large, coarse mouth. y
The soldier stared, and for an instant
could hardly trust his eyes. Then he
walked back to the man and laid q
hand on his shoulder.
" know you," he said.
You are mistaken, sah," said the
man his speech assuring the soldier
that he had made no mistake. Il
nevah saw you befoah, sah."
Don't try to humbug me-" replied
Beverstock. "Iou are Lieutenant
Davis, of the Confederate service. II
saw you last at the Savannah stockade.
You are O spy; shall have you ar
rested"
IF you da-ah to touch me, sab. I'll
make you smaht fob i'll" clustered the
man. II tell you am not lieutenant
Davis"
well see about that" said the
plucky lad. There were always soldiers
travelling on railroad trains in those
days, and Frank had no difficulty in
gathering up half q dozen who agreed
to stand by him when he explained the
situation to them. They took possess
sion of the suspect and conveyed him to
Camp Chase, near Columbus. There
he was positively recognized by many
Paroled prisoners who had seen him at
Andersonville and other Confederate
prisons. He was Lieutenant Davis.
sAre!
Frank Beverstock belonged to the
Third West Virginia Cavalry, and is
now dead. Congress never gave him
medal for this exploit, but it should
have done so.
Davis was thoroughly searched, and
appers found in the lining of his coat
conclusively established his character.
They were dispatches and instructions
from the Richmond government to
prominent Confederates in Canada, and
related to the Northern raids.
He was promptly tried as q SPY, con-
vlcted, and sentenced to be hung. He
was sent to Johnson's Island for the
execution of the sentence.
Now occurred the strangest part of
this business.
1t is known that man who was per-
mitted to visit Davis after his con-
domination told him to make himself
easy, assuring him that his sentence
would certainly be committed. Davis
believed the assurance, probably know
ing how the Communication was to be
obtained, and carried himself with the
utmost bravado and nonchalance.
10 the general establishment, the
sentence was committed by telegraph
on the very day set for the execution.
IL was modified to imprisonment at
Fort Delaware during the war.
How was such thing possible? At
such time, when just such examples
were needed to check the Confederate
raiders and spies who were swarming
at the North, how was that mans neck
saved?
The only explanation was that he
had powerful Baltimore influence"
Some of the secret archives at Wash
ington would make queer reading now.

WOrstctl Work.

Many ladies will welcome the revival
of the oross-stitch worsted work, which
promises to regain all its old-time pop
ularity. Tho designs follow closely the
antique, and are in lovely, delicate
shades. Sofa pillows worked on can
vas, and strips for chair seats, follow
some of the fashionable designs for
Kensington work, and as so many ladies
ara familiar with this style of work, it
is ling adopted oven moro than the APP
~. .ue work, for which one is constantly
4ding new and lovely designs. A very
,,retty fancy at present is the making Of
bags of silk handkerohiefs with bright
coiored borders. The handkerchief is
first trimmed around all four sides with
lace about two and half inches wide.
A place for drawing string is then
made in complete circle in the hand
kerchief, leaving about three inches of
the border, exclusive Of the lace, to fall
over the outside, the circle forming the
bag part. After the drawing string or
elastic is put in, finish with long loops
of ribbon about an inch wide. The bags
are very handsome and are also useful.
Bags are in fact seen everywhere, at
the present time, suspended from chan
deliers or from little brass hooks beside
mantel-pieces and windows, and even
hanging from the toll backs of old
fashioned chairs. They are of all sizes
and shapes. Quite pretty bag is made
of bed ticking, that with wide stripes.
Over the first blue stripe tack black vel
vet the same width, tack it on with fancy
stitches, embroider the white stripe in
some simple design or with two or three
rows of herring-bone stitches. On the
next blue stripe tack gold or silver braid
the same width, fastening it on the vel
vet, and so on with each stripe. Make
the ticking seven or eight inches square
and line with some rich color, drawing
up the lining with handsome satin rib
bons Of the same or contrasting color.
