CLEVELAND, March 6.-The final meet.
ing of the National League schedule
committee was held today. The only
business transacted was the adoption Of
the ten-club schedule, which was forced
upon the organization by the refusal of
the Indianapolis club to retire. Each
club plays fewer games than in former
years, and the basis of the individual
championship contest is figured on seven
games in each city with the different or.

Good and Bad Roads,

Good roads save horsefesh and ve-
hicles; bad roads wear out both. Good
roads are the exception in this country,
and bad roads the rule. In the winter
and early spring portions of our coun-
try are almost inaccessible owing to the
soft, muddy and dangerous condition of
the roads. According to the recent ex-
animation of the matter it was estimated
that load which one horse can draw on
level iron rails will require, on smooth,
level asphalt road, one and two-third
horses; on bad Belgian pavement, three
and one-eighth horses; on good cobble-
stone road, thirteen horses; on ordinary
earth road, twenty horses; on sand forty
horses. The wear and tear on horses
and vehicles will thus be seen to be
great on poor earth roads. The ques-
tion comes home to every farmer, and,
in fact, every one who lives in the rural
districts. Good roads should be OBJ
tanned by all means, and there is no
better way than to have the question
discussed at the Farmers Clubs.
Enough money and labor are annually
spent ON the highways of most of our
States to produce good roads, but the
result does not yet show that good judg-
ment has been exercised in expending
the time, labor and money. This then,
seems the most important question for
farmers to settle. Another question to
decide before spring is whether certain
road-beds should be surface drained or
underdrained with tile. Some roads
can be greatly improved by shortening
them, or cutting off curves and wind
ings. A great deal of unnecessary wear
to horses and vehicles could thus be
saved by attending to the roads in time.

THE DAIRY.



A butter maker, in an address before a
meeting of New York dairymen, along
with other sensible remarks, said: 1T
is almost impossible to churn cream

ature." In this he struck the keynote
to churning. There is a difference in
diaries as we'll as individual cows. The
speaker said he churned at 63 degrees in
eighteen minutes, while neighbor did
his churning at 81 degrees in twenty
minutes. Maj. Alvord places the range
of churning temperatures from 55 de-
grees to 68 degrees. Some dairies re-
quire one point and some another be-
tween these extremes. Every dairyman
must decide for himself by his own
thermometer. The time of year, the
distance either way the COWS are from
calving, the feed, the breed and other
conditions, perhaps some not known or
thought of, may vary the required tenn
perature for churning. Too high tenn
perature makes the butter come too soft,
and too low o temperature makes SLOW

to have the temperature to raise or fall
while churning. Sometimes people be-

We like to put the time from twenty to

used extensively the temperature must
be higher. DAIRY Column.

THE HOUsEHOLD.

The care of bedroom is sometimes
neglected because of the apparent sim
plicity of the work. The style in which
1t is usually accomplished is known to
every one.
The coverings are thrown back over
the foot of the bed, permitting them to
drag ON the dusty floor, and the window
is left open five or ten minutes, length
of time popularly considered quite suf-
fcient to air the room.
The bed-maker may possibly turn the
mattress, but in seven cases out of ten
the bed-clothes are spread up without
going through this form, and tucked in
snugly at the sides and foot to prevent
the fresh air getting in or the stale air
escaping.
The right way of performing this work
is not SO difficult that one need shrink
from it. The coverings should first be
stripped back over two chairs set at the
foot of the bed The mattress should
then be doubledso the air may get to all
parts of it and left so for from half an
hour to an hour. In very severe winter
weather, the time may be lessened.
Each piece of bed-clothing should be
we'll shaken before it is restored to it's
place, and the pillows beaten and patted
into shape. The white spread, that
should have been removed at bedtime
the night before and neatly folded, is
now fresh and smooth. II pillow
shams are not used, the creased night
slips may be exchanged for fresh day
cases and the former laid aside until
needed in the evening.
The bed is not all that needs close
care in the sleeping The dust
ing is far more important than many
people suspect. Accumulations of fluff
and dust form favorite nesting place
for disease germs and unsavory smells.
On this account many ornaments are not
to be commended in bed chamber.
The bits of drapery, the brackets, the
gay Japanese fans, the photographs and
the pieces of bric-a-b brac that are adj
Emirable in other parts of the house, are
out of place here. Whatever furniture
there is should be carefully wiped OF
each day with soft cloth and this
shaken out ofthe window.
The room should receive thorough
sweeping at least once o week, and at
this time every artice in it should be
moved and no nook nor corner left un-
brushed. If there are curtains at the
windows, they should be we'll shaken
that no dust may linger in their folds.
The receptacles for waste water should
be washed out every day and scalded
three times o week. In hot weather, the
scalding should take place every day,
and the utensils be summed if possible.
Wash'cloths should be rung out in boil
ing water every other day. Withoutthis
they soon become offensive. Shoes and
other articles of apparel should not be
left lying about the room to gather dust
and look untidy. Soiled clothes should
never be left in sleeping room. They
contaminate the atmosphere.
When all these precautions are closely
followed, there will be no trouble with
the close, unpleasant odor that one finds
often in even handsome and apparently
well-kept bed rooms. Such malodors
are not only disagreeable, but positively
unwholesome, especially for delicate
persons and children. n.--Housewsfe.

campaign. That Of Bragg is admitted
to have been able and dangerous. That
of Rosecrans, with increasing clear
ness, appears to have been both able
and successful.
1t has been contended that Rose
Grams, after forcing Bragg out of Chat
tanooga by the movement far extended
to the south against the Confederate
left flank and rear, should at once have
concentrated his army in Chattanooga.
Probably this is true. 1t is also true
that after the concentration in Chatta-
nooga Rosecrans should Immediately
have fortified the place and acted on
the defensive. But his orders from
General Halleck, dated September IL,
1853, were as follows:
"After holding the mountain passes
on the west, and Dalton, or some other
point on the railroad, to prevent the
return of Bragg's army, it will be de-
cided whether your army shall move
farther south into Georgia and Ala
bama."
Thus it happens that if Rosecrans
had marched his whole army through
Chattanooga he must have continued,
as ordered, to pursue Bragg as far
south as Dalton. In this case he would
still have been caught in the attitude
Of pursuit when Bragg suddenly con-
centrated "the whole Confederacy "
against him. Perhaps the result would
have been better, perhaps worse for
Rosecrans. The order to pursue was
wrong. The disposition that Rose
Grams made for the pursuit was appar-
emily the best. There was nothing in
it even to prevent sufficiently rapid
concentration of his army in any event,
except the unforeseen blunder of a
corps commander as to roads. Even
after this mistake, costing days, oc-
Cured, the army was sufficiently con-
centrated and most admirably shifted,
by day and by night, to the vital posi-
tions.

THE FARM.
Ehat Rots Fence Posta.

Many years ago We saw farmer set
ting posts for board fence. Having
the erroneous idea that it was water
which most rotted the posts, and that
stones piled in the hole around the
post would keep it dry, he filed the hole
within foot of the top with small
stones. As no drainage was given, of
course the water settled around the post,
and the light covering of earth allowed
frost to penetrate to the bottom and
heave the posts up. The fence lasted
only few years, and was an offence
most of that time. The water dried out
by midsummer, and then the loose
stones around the posts were the refuge
of mice, which proved especially de-
structive to young orchard near by. It
was found, when the posts were dug out,
that moist air had rotted the lower ends,
while those put down in clay soil with
the earth packed around closely were
still in good condition

and it can be well said of him that
wherever he went his gentlemanly de-
pertinent and kindly treatment of the
Southerners was almost demoralizing.
1t was in marked contrast with much
that his fellow-officers did. Hence our
people even at the time regretted his
death, and now honor his memory.
The writer is well acquainted with
Captain Richard Beard, of Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, who claims, and no doubt
Justly, to have been an eyewitness
to the killing of General MCPHERSON.
I may not give his account with per-
feet accuracy, for it was told me
years ago, but my recollection is
that the circumstances attending
that event were substantially as fol-
lows: Captain Beard was ordered, with
his company, then a mere handful, to
make an attack upon fortifcation
which, it was supposed, was held by
few men. While executing this order
quite a number of Federal officers
came riding toward him. Halting his
men, he waited until they got near by
and then commanded them to surren-
der. All did so except one, who, wheel
ing his horse and putting spurs to him,
while drawing his sword and waving it
over his head, dashed off at full speed
toward the Federal lines. Captain
Beard ordered his men not to fire, for,
as he states, he felt satisfied that the
officer, on account of the retinue ac-
companying him, must be high in
command, and he could not help ad-
miring his brave dash for freedom.
However, an Arkansas sergeant, who
had become detached from his own
command, and was accompanying Cap
tain Boards company, drew down his
gun, and, in spite of the order given,
fired, and the retreating officer fell to
the ground.
After disarming those who had sur
rendered, and putting them in charge
Of one or two men, Captain Beard re-
sumed his advance, and passed the
prostrate form of the officer Just killed.
Dashing with his brave Tennesseans
up the fortifcation, he was astonished
to see a Federal Colonel jump upon
the embankment, within speaking dis
tance, who shouted in almost appeal
ing tones to Captain Beard: "For
Gods sake, surrender, brave man, for
we have ten to your one!" The Ten
nesseans were soon surrounded and
taken prisoners, finding the statement
of the Colonel true. The charge from
the re-enforced Federals swept every
thing back until they passed and re-
took the prisoners, and then Captain
Beard learned that the officer killed
was General Mcpherson. This in
nation was confirmed when he was
carried before General Sherman, the
Colonel taking him prisoner accom-
panying him, and asking for kindly
treatment in behalf of the brave Ten
nesseans.
Captain Richard Beard, Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, can give full and inter-
ing account of this event, authentic
and vouched for by q number of living
witnesses. He is an exceedingly mod.
est man, and hence I have taken the
liberty of speaking thus fully about
him. Probably there may be some in.
accuracy about some of the details
here given, but not as to the main fact
that he was an eyewitness to the kill
ing of General Mcpherson by an Ar.
kansas sergeant and under the circum
stances stated.

plication of lime or wood ashes in the
spring and fall, with the surface kept
clean with a cultivatoF, will greatly i'm

the fruit. The plow should not be used
by running too deeply, since that tears
up and destroys the roots. All the or

and close pruning once a year. Another
point to be observed is that of thinning
the fruit from young trees when they
are too heavily laden. If this is done,
