Pins, Twelve Dollars q Paper.

From an article entitled lizard Times
in the Confederacy" in the Century,
we quote the following: "In August,
1864, a private citizens coat and vest,
made of five yards of course homespun
cloth, cost two hundred and thirty dol
lars. exclusive of the price paid for the
making. The trimmings consisted of
old cravats; and for the cutting and
putting together, a country tailor
charged fifty dollars. It is safe to say
that the private citizen looked veri-
table guy in his new suit, in spite of it's
heavy drain upon his pocket-book.
I'm January, 1865, the material for a
lady's dress which before the war would
have cost ten dollars, could not be
bought for less than five hundred. The
masculine mind is unequal to the task
of guessing how great sum might
have been had for bonnets brought
through the lines; for in spite of patient
self-sacrifice and unfaltering devotion
at the bedsides of the wounded in the
hospitals, or in ministering to the needs
of relatives and dependents at home.
the Southern women of those DAYS are

Prof. j. NJ. Robertson gives some
points in relation to Danish means to
produce ripening of cream, wherein he
says:
To properly ripen the cream for
churnlng, o fermentation starter" is
prepared daily in the following way:
AS much milk as will yield cream equal
to 2 per cent. by bulk of the whole
cream to be churned each day is taken
ting cans in ice water. Sometimes it is
set in shallow pans. The surface in
both cases is left exposed to the air. In
the morning this is skinned. About IL
o'clock in the forenoon it is warmed to
72o Farenheit, and placed under cover
so as to retain its heat. By the follow
ing morning it will have become sour.
The sOurness is merely result of the
fermentation induced by the exposure
to the air and after maintenance of
warmth. This is now what is called the
fermentation starter"
After the bulk of the cream is sepa-
rated. if by the centrifugal machine, it
is heated to 72o and then put in tim
lined cream tubs. To it is added "fer-
mentation starter" equal to 2 per cent.
whole mass is allowed to gradually cool
to 58o, Farenheit, and by the FOLLOWING
morning, or after the lapse of about
eighteen hours, is in the right condition
for churning. When the proper separa-
tion of cream has been effected by the
natural method Of setting, the bulk of
the cream is heated to $50 and then the
fermentation starter" is added, and the
treatment is as above. These tempera-
lures vary slightly with the seasons of
the year and the length of time the
most of the COWS have been milking.
The temperature at which the churnine
is performed also varies, from 81 to 81
degrees being the range.

away some time when Meade sent him
over the Rappahannock on recon

in making his verbal report, alluded to
a brush he had had with Stuart's cav

interrupting, He will do about as he
pleases anyhow. Go on and tell me
what you discovered about Lees
forces That made Sheridan mad, and
he retorted, Damn Stuart; 1 can,
thrash hell out of him any day. Those
were times, you know, when mems ut
terances, like their deeds, were not
fashioned upon the models of these
days of peace.
"Well, Meade repeated the remark
to Grant, who queried: why didn't
you tell him to do it?' Not long after,
sure enough, Sheridan got IN order to
cross the river, engage Stuart, and
clean him out. I knew I could whip

get him where he could not fall back

his command and broke up his di-.

sisted the greatest temptation of my
life. There lay Richmond before U.S.
and there was nothing to keep us from;

six hundred lives, and I could not
have held the place, of course.
But knew that the moment it was
learned at the North that Union army

hero of the hour. I could have gone

We are often asked the question,
What breed of cattle are the general

no general-purpose animals. That is,
In speaking of general purpose, mean
animals that have the beef, butter, milk,
and cheese qualities.
Take, for instance, the Short horns
for beef, and the Jerseys for butter, and
the Holsteins for butter, milk, and
cheese. Each of those breeds have
their good qualities, exactly what they
are bred for. Now, understand me, 1
say there is no general-purpose COW.
There is no breed that fills all points in
every respect; but do say that the near
est that We ever got to it is in the Hol-
stein breed. do not speak Of what

that tipped the beam at 3, 100 pounds, and
cows at 2,1OO pounds.
We have milk records of 26, 00G pounds
in one year, and butter records of
twenty-six pounds in seven days, which
think are very good. I know of q
farmer in this community that bred q
common COW to Nox. This bull Weighed
LOG pounds at birth; his dam gas inn

months old 845 pounds. The sire of
Nox is Lamotte, the dam is Alike. Nox
is the sire of grade calf one half Hol-
stein, that weighed at birth 10Y pounds,
being three feet, eight and one-half
inches in length, two feet eight and
one-fourth inches high, two feet eleven
and one-half inches around the girth,
and hips nine inches wide. I saw this
calf and took these notes myself. This,

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
INSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR
RURAL READERS.
Some Information Of Value to the Farmer,
and Kitche n Maid.
THE EARN.
Potato Rot.

Upon the subject of potato rot. the
Theological Section of the Department
Of Agriculture, Washington, says:
Numerous fungi are found upon the
potato, but Phytopthora infestans De
Bary appears to be the most widely de-
structive one. The brown or black dis
coloration of the tubers, and the blight
of the leaves have been thought by many
growers to be different diseases, but they
are only two phases of one disease. be-
ing due to the same fungus. During
the growing season the mycelium of the
Phytopthora may be found in the dis
eased stem and leaves; and, if there be
sufficient moisture in the air, the conidia
or summer spores are produced by myr-
lads upon the diseased vines. These
rled by insects, birds, or other animals,
find Judgment on healthy plants. Dry
Dir soon destroys them, but in drops of
dew or rain they terminate readily, SO
that many thousand new centers of in
fection may begin in the course of sim
gle day. The sudden rot of the green
tissue of the plant, SO often observed
when the weather is warm and wet, is
due to the rapid propagation of the fun
gus by means of these summer spores,
although the direct breaking down of
the tissues is generally accomplished by
bacteria and Ascomycetous fungi.
Undoubtedly the mycelium of Ply
topthora may grow down through the
stalk and thus reach the tubers, but this
has never been proven. The tubers are
ordinarily infected by the conidia,
which may be washed into the soil by
rains, or carried down by small animals.
A wet rot of the tubers does not always
follow their infection. Very often the
only indications of the disease are some
superficial discolorations of the tuber.
In these We have the mycelium of the
fungus. Certain conditions favoring
rot IRE beyond control of the farmer.
He cannot prevent warm, wet weather;
but BY planting upon dry. ground, and
by using the greatest care in the selec-
ton of tubers for planting, he may
greatly diminish the severity Of the rot.
No tubers having dark spots or blotches
upon their surface, or which look brown
or black in places when cut open, should
be planted. Quick growing sorts are
probably safest.

HOW to Secure, Straight Combs,

This is one of the fzst difficulties that
the beginner in bee culture will meet
with, if he has not some good book to
refer to, and even some of these only
tell how to do it by using comb founda-
ton. 1 believe have never seen an ar
ticle in any book or journal which told
how straight combs could be secured
without the use offoundation. Although
it is the best and cheapest in the long
run, it is not every bessinperwho has the
money to invest, or wishes to purchase
the article, therefore the question arises
how to get along without it.
The plan which I am about to give to
the reader was given to me by brother
bee-keeper. I have since verified it to
my satisfaction.
When hiving swarm, if you have al-
ready movable frame hive containing
straight combs, take out one, or better,
two combs, replacing them with empty
frames in the new hive which the swarm
is to occupy, putting them near the
center, with an empty frame between
them. The bees will cluster on these
two frames of brood, and will be sure to
commence work on the frame between
them first, and having straight wall on
each side will be almost certain to build
it straight. If honey is plentiful this
frame will soon have straight comb
started all along it's top bar, but should
they build any side combs remove them.
Now part these frames and put two more
empty frames between, leaving the frame
with the newly-made comb in the center,
an empty one on each side of it, and the
two finished have frames containing full
combs on the outside Of these.
Continue in this way until all the
From how 10cfr oirv1% h o. 4
along under their top bar, after which
very little attention will be necessary to
insure straight combs. Until then be
ever attentive, not allowing them to work
more than two or three days without ex-
aiming them, and cutting off all combs
that may be started where you do not
want them. You can get along with one
full frame of comb to start with, or even
without any, but in that case you must
be vigilant and never allow the bees to
start building the combs crosswise of
the frames.
Some beginners seem to think that all
they have to do is to put the bees in the
hive, in the belief that they will know
how to manage things. The result is,
the bee-keeper has movable frame
BILE after being filled with combs. 1
know of case Of this kind Just across
the river from here. Bees, il allowed to
have their own way in frames not having
foundation starters, are, think, just as
likely to build crosswise as lengthwise
of the frames.
With little experience in this way,
the beginner will soon have no trouble
in securing combs as straight las can be
secured with foundation. I can show
plenty of such in my apiary. might
add: We had the best results in frames
with triangular strip of wood fastened
to the underside of the top bar, instead
of the comb guide in common use at the
present day. s. E. MILLER.
