THE PAY OF SOLDIERS.
How Uncle Sam Provides for His Officers
and Enlisted Men.

and Enlisted Men.
The pay of armyoflicers is not munifi-
cent, but there are allowances for COM
mutation of rations and forage and
quarters and fuel for officers who are not
serving in the field and do not need to
have these furnished in kind, that add
considerable to the officers income.
Then an officer retires at siXty-four
years or earlier, at his option under GER
tain circumstances, and the retired pay
is decent; the officers are apt to feel
that it is illiberal but there are great
many civilians who would be thankful
to have such an assurance for their de-
clining years; and finally when the Of
ficer dies there is small pension for
his wife. What is called the pay of the
grade is 81, 400 for second lieutenant
of infantry or heavy artillery, $1,000 for
captain of cavalary or light artillery,
81, 500 for major, $4,000 for lieuten-
ant-colonel $500 for colonel, $500
for brigadier-general, and 81, 500 for a
major-general. But the pay is increased
10 per cent for each five years service
with the exception that 4 lieutenant
colonel's pay does not go above $1,000 nor
a colonels above I,50O; so that captain
of twenty years service gets $500 il
not mounted, or $500 if mounted, be-
sides his quarters and certain other al.

MASSACRE oE WYOMING.
One of the Blacklist Grimes Committed

One of the BIaCkest Grimes Committed by
the Tories in America.
The awful massacre of the inhabitants
of Wyoming valley took place in the
month of July, 177s. The valley, which
is on the Susquehanna river, in Luzerne
County, Pennsylvania, was purchased
from the Six Nations in the year 1854
by an association formed in Connecticut
and called the Susquehanna Company.
1t was, however, not until 1762 that n
permanent settlement was made, and
the Indians came in during the year fol-
lowing and dispersed the pioneers. In
1863 forty Connecticut settlers were sent
there by the company, but they discov-
cred that party of Pennsylvanians had
anticipated them, and the New England
ers also learned that the Six Nations
had second time sold their land to the
Pennsylvanians. There was numerous
conflicts during the succeeding six years
between the settlers from the two col
onies. The Connecticut colonists were
strong and numerous, as may be guessed
from the fact that when the war of inde-
pendence opened they had a flourishing
town of over 1000 inhabitants there,
called Westmoreland. The people of
the valley naturally took sides with the
patriots in the struggle against the
British. On June 80, 177s, about 400
British troops, with about 700 Indians,
under Colonel John Butler, entered
Wyoming valley. The inhabitants
were very poorly prepared to meet
such hostile force, or indeed any
considerable body of armed men, Many
of the best and strongest men had given
up their lives in the war, and the alb
sence of many of the surviving,
abled bodied men with the Continental
armies left the Valley practically at the
mercy of the invaders. On July 3, Forty
Fort-so-called from the forty Connecti-
cut pioneers-which was the chief forti-
ficaton of the Valley, was called upon
to surrender. The patriots, numbering
about 800 men of all ages, were com
manded by Colonel Zebulon Butler, n
Continental officer, decided to fight;
after a desperate struggle, thesedevoted
men were defeated and driven back to
the fort, with less than one-third OF
their number, who were killed by the
Tories and Indians in the most barbar-
Gus manner the prisoners sharing the
fate of those murdered on the field.
Some of the most unfortunate captives
were tortured and. massacred on the
evening of the battle; and Queen Esther,
half-breed Indian woman, to avenge
the death of her son, tomahawked FOUR
teen with her own hands near the rock
which still bears her name. On July
the fort surrendered, and in spite of the
D,,, iel1 Il Vn1t r1y n1
the houses and compelled the few survi-
vors to flee from the Valley. 1t is esti-
mated that not fewer than 800 of the
people of the Valley lost their lives

Indians can not be repeated. In

In the historical sketch of its road,
published by the Pennsylvania railroad,
it is stated that at one time the SUI
pervisors and track foremen were salts
fed with an excellence far below the
ideas of perfection entertained by the
managers, and to remedy this the lat
ter adopted the plan of having each SUI
pervisor prepare on his division one
mile of sample track, not limiting him
as to cost, but requiring that it be made
as perfect as possible. The officers, SUI
peryisors and foremen then passed over
these sample miles, carefully examin-
ing each, and at the conclusion of this
inspection the most experienced super
visors acknowledged that they had
never before known what a perfect track
was May not much the same be said
of the majority of people in regard to
our common roads--that they have lit
tie realizing conception of perfect
road and its economic advantages over
an Indifferent one? Manifestly, such is
the case, and the remedy lies in the di-
rection of the education of the people up
TO a better knowledge of good roads,
which will be followed by greater APP
probation of and u determination to
have them.-Providenc journal.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TO HAVE BETTER ROADS.
An Awakened Interest on This Impor-'l

An Awakened Interest on This Impor-'
tant Subject in Various states.
Up in the little State OF Rhode Island
the people are waking up to the impor-
tance of having good roads. A State
Road Improvement Association has been
formed and it is already doing much
good. AT recent meecing of this body
the following letter from Mr.. Scott A.
Smith, treasurer of the Providence Oil
company, was read:
Good roads already exist in various
parts of the older States of our country,
and If they are to be made and MAIN
tanned in Rhode Island much exact in
formation is needed as to methods for
making and maintaining roads. 1t may
be stated as an axiom for us that there
is not so much difficulty in making good
roads as in maintaining them. | speak
from personal observation in saying
that in France, where there are some
of the best of modern made roads, there
exists system of maintenance which
is carried to that degree of perfection
for which the French are SO justly re-
nowned in all their methods relating
to public affairs To particularize: Each
section of road is under constant sur
veillance and needed repairs are at once
made. Further, the destruction of we'll
made roads by the use of heavily loaded
wagons having narrow tires can not
happen, as such matters are regulated
by well formulated laws, and the nee
essary obedience to such laws is en-
forced under the civil system of laws
without any of the embarrassments
which exist in countries governed by
what is termed common law.
This agitation of the subject of good
roads has come none too soon. To one
who has seen with what ease heavy
loads are moved in Europe, on good
roads in wagons properly tired. the feel
ing exists that we are generation, If
not century, behind other nations.
The actual practical value to farmers
and others of good roads can not be
questioned, and looking into the future
may not the advent of the bicycle and
the tricycle. again call the maintenance
of the country inn. With good smooth
roads, those now living may see car
riages propelled by storage batteries
and going at speed over country roads
which is not now dreamed of by users of
horses.
In conclusion, if the Romans could
make roads which have endured two
thousand years, why can not we make
and maintain good roads possessing as
we do facilities for such work wholly
unknown to the Romans?

A DISCUSSION.
The Theme Being: How Long Should "a

The Theme Being: How Long Should "a
Cow Go Dry?
was in farmers institute the other
| day and question box was part of the
programme. One query read: "How
long should COW go dry?" Several
dairymen arose and said that they did
not let their cows go dry at all, but
milked them up to the time of calf drop
ping They claimed to have the best
success by this method. Other farmers
said let them go dry three, two or one
month prior to calving. The gentlemen
who took part in the discussion were all
practical dairymen. belonging to that
progressive class who are generally held
up for emulation in dairy matters. Two
thirds of the assembly had come to the
institute to learn; they were simply a
listening audience of interested but si-
lent farmers You know great many

it is composed of their brother Lords Of

every means should be employed at in
stitutes to remove all sense of embar-
rassment from the timid and diffident
ones, so that those who come to listen
will feel free to speak as well. About
two-thirds of this assemblage took no
part in the spirited discussions, but re-
spectfully listened to the debates, and
went their way. / do not believe there
was farmer there who came out of
mere curiosity; they left their rural
homes, and travelled in some cases many
miles, to learn something advantageous
to their craft. Now, reader, don't you
think that it would puzzle the learner
little as to what course to pursue, to
have farmer A jump up and mention a
method in dairying which experience
has taught him to be the right way, and
then have BIS experience fatty contra
dict AS, and C's refute both AS and BIS?
Now these different men might have
all had success by adherence to contra
dictory principles of drying off the COW,

sion instead OF being enlightened. That
was how the case impressed me, any
way.
The subject may seem trivial to some,
and yet it is very important. My own
experience has been that COW should
have some rest from lacteal secretion
prior to the parturient period. 1t is
natures law that there should be sus-
pension of action in the milk functions
for space of time between every period
of dropping calf. The length of sus-
pension should be long enough to allow
the pregnant dam to physically recuper-
ate from a long period of milk produc-
ton, before she passes through the or
deal of giving birth to young. We ad-
wise this for the sake of the cows future
usefulness, and for the strength and

drawn from the barrel without splash

the bucket. The head is not removed
from the barrel. A hole is cut in the
head and closed by a hinged lid. When
slop is to be put in the barrel, the lid is
raised and allowed to rest against the

COOLING ROOM.
Its Value to the Dairyman and Fruit
Raiser.

Its Value to the Dairyman and Fruit
Raiser.
There is more attention being given
to the construction of cooling rooms
where the temperature can be main
tanned at proper degree for the pres
ervation of dairy products and fruits.
We have frequent inquiries about the
construction of such rooms In most
sections of the country there will be
a scarcity of ice next summer. No ice
has been made in many sections, and
all that we shall have will come from
the North. A room can be so con-
structed that it will serve for the pres
ervation of both dairy products and
fruits, and that will keep the tempera-
ture at q low degree in summer and at a
comparatively high degree in winter.
When the house or room Is constructed
for ice an apartment is made above the
room for the storing of the ice. That is
the principle that applies to the cooling
room when ice is used. The sides of the
cooler are made so they will not conduct
heat, and an apartment above holds the
ice.
Whether ice is used or not--of course
1t should be when atall practicable-th
construction of the room is the same. 1t
is to be m ade with double walls with a
space between of from six inches to a
foot, and this filled with some non-heat-
conducting material. The roof ought to
be double also; so should the doors and so
should the bottom. Following these di-
rections, we shall get room that will
be pretty cool in summer even without
ice, and pretty warm in winter If the
structure can be erected on the north
side of building so much the BETTER
