his behalf. Their statement of tho
boys grave offense indicated that there
were mitigating circumstances which
rendered him q proper subject for ex.
ecutive clemency. II was claimed that
the soldier was in feeble health, but
had refused TO go to the hospital, re-
naming with his company, which was
engaged In the campaign against Rich
mond. He had been marching and
fighting for two days and nights with
out sleep, and it was under such cir
cumstances that, overcome by exhaus-
ton, he had suffered himself to fall
asleep while on picket. Military law
was rigidly enforced at that time, and
little mercy was shown to offenders.
Mr.. Kelley at once went to the Presi-
dent, with whom he was on terms Of
close intimacy. Few men enjoyed to
o fuller extent than he the confidence
Of Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Kelley laid be-
fore the President the case as present
ed by the friends of the soldier. Both
agreed that If the facts were as stated
the death sedtence might properly be
revoked in the interest of humanity,
and without prejudice to the service.
The time was short, as but few
hours, or days at most, intervened be-
tween the sentence of court-martiaI
and the execution. Mr.. Kelley volun-
teered to go at once to the army and
investigate. To enable him to do this,
Mr.. Lincoln handed him reprieve for
three days. So fully did he trust to
the Judgment of Mr.. Kelley that he
also wrote and signed pardon, which
Kelley was to present in case he found
the statements of the soldiers friends
to be correct. II, upon the other hand,
he should find the case to be without
extenuating features, he should not
interfere with the execution beyond
the repTieve granted for the inquiry.
Mr.. Kelley took the first train for
the front. Travelling as far as he could
by rail he rode on horseback nearly all
night through the great camps to reach
the regiment he sought. The execu-
ton ives to have taken place that
morning, but was stayed by the Presi-
dents order. Mr.. Kelley satisfied
himself That the demands of Justice
and the discipline of the army did not
require the sacrifice of the young life,
produced the pardon, and the soldier
was restored to duty. Naturally Mr..
Kelleywatched with interest the future
career of the boy whose life he had
held IN his hands, and was gratifed to
know chat he had not erred in his iudg-
ment. The soldier fully redeemed
himself by conspicuous gallantry, and
lost an arm in the final assault on
Petersburg. After the war Mr.. Kel-
ley secured his appointment in one of
the departments in Washington, where
he remained till FMS death two or
three years ago. In after years Mr..
Kelley often remarked that no act of
his life, public or private, gave him
more satisfaction than his services in
behalf of that condemned soldier. 1t
gees without saying that the latter's
affection for Mr.. Kelley was beyond
any power of language to express,
continuing. till the last moments of
life.

Farrn-Gates.-slidIng Doors

It is sometimes said we appreciate
things in proportion as we lack them.
Perhaps that is the reason we feel as
though we would very much appreciate
farm gates. Having been accustomed
to them in every needed place in our old
longtime resident Iowa ~Elmwood
Farm" we miss them so much here,
where so few people seem to appreciate g
them, if we judge by their lack.
In work on an old farm here, settled
long Abefo' the wah, we did not find o
single gate. 1t was climb the fence to
get to the house, or lay down the short
eight-foot rails, soon racking the fence
for several panels. We couldn't stand
that; so temporary sliding gate was
made-the work of perhaps fifteen min
utes-the cost o nickers worth of nails
and twenty cents worth of lumber. An
hour longer cut four black jack" posts,
growing right at hand, and put them in
place, and attached fence to them. The
owner had calculated to do this be-
fore, but forty years had quickly slipped
by, and he hadn't found time.
Now, on many good farms with wide
awake owners, there is need for more
gates for best convenience. Where in
constant use, they need to be of best
patterns, best materials, and best work.
manship, and if you cannot do this your
self, better employ it done. But for
many places not much used, the cheap
sliding gate, easily constructed can be
put up in by any farmer, and will pay if
not used half dozen times in the year.

THE DAIRY.
Dairy Notes


THEY get at the real value Of COW in
Sussex County, N. j., by selling her at
so much quart. Thus If the COW gives
twenty quarts of milk daily she is worth
$3.50 a quart, or $50. The purchaser
keeps the COW on trial for few days.
THE prize butter at the Bay State Fair,
Boston, was made from cows fed on cut
clover at night, pasture by day, and q
grain ration composed of two parts corn
meal and one part each of crushed oats,
linseed meal, and wheat middlings.
PUT white butter and yellow butter
side by side and tell the consumer that
one is artifcially colored, and he will
take the colored article 999, 500 times in
100000. Let nobody worry about the
consumer being deceived. He is after
the "yaller."
BE sure to take from the udder every
drop of milk that the COW gives. Nature
responds to demand. If you do not de-
mand the milk she will shrink the mess
accordingly. She will not work for
nothing. Call on her for every drop
and she will keep up the flow. She is
generous to our needs when nationally
manifested, but quick to take advantage
of our neglect. Milk clean.
ONLY well-guarded lanterns should
be used in the stable, and these should
be securely hung on hooks in safe
places, SO that they can by no means
get broken or knocked down. With the
greatest of care there is an element of
extra danger in using artificial lights
about stable or barn. The burning of
Chicago, one of the greatest confagra-
tions on record, was started by the
kicking over of lamp by COW.

THE sToCK-RANUH.



The sheep fold in winter cannot be
too closely attended to, for with our
variable climate, which at one time NAV
be mild, balmy spring weather, and at
another cold and freezing as the Arctic
zone, the sheep have great strains inn
posed upon them. The best manage
ment of winter focks is, therefore,
question not easily decided. Some of
our sheep raisers advocate one method,
which has given them the best results,
while others, having suffered losses
from their method, condemn it. The
summing up of the whole matter is that
differences of climate, feed, and breed
and health make all of the disagreement.
Ii small flock, even of full-blood
Merinos, is kept ON tough sod with
bushes and clumps of trees and bitter
browse as sort of wind-bresk, they
will thrive and come out of the severe
winters in good condition when prop
erly fed with good ration of corn ON
the ear or shelled. The individual
sheep will then take exercise enough;
but when it comes to large flock thew
do not as rule take sufficient exercise.
On warm days they roam about all day,
but should week of cold weather fol-
low they will refuse to leave their shell
tered places. In fact, they will often
remain on the lee side of their shelter
while they ought to be eating their
food.
The ranging method may answer in
some places; but the best management
of sheep in winter is to have good shell
tering place for them, with a southerly
exposure. The shed should be in the
eagture lot, or near some large field.
The animals then should be forced to
take exercise just as regularly as their
food and water. Turn them out in the |
field for few hours each day, and thew |
will be grateful for it. Sheep like to |
pick up part of their living, nibblinp |
here and there in ell sorts of corners
and holes.
If snow continues on the ground for |
a long time, SO they have no inducement /
to take exercise in search of grass, they /
should be turned out into corn field, |
whore the fodder has been hauled out. /
They will roam up and down this, pick
ing up pieces that have been left, and
enjoying the work Of searching after
their food. Even after they have picked
up everything in the field they should /
De turned out, and forced to move about
q little. In this way the owner can req
ulate their meals and time of exercise.
It is on cold days, when the weather
has suddenly changed from mild to very
severe weather, the sheep suffer most.
They will then refuse to leave their
shelter unless driven out, and even
hen they become so terrified with the
sold that they will often refuse to eat
or drink. It is only by driving them
about, and getting their blood to circu-
ating, that they can be made to cast off
heir slothful ways. Fodder may be
;hrown out in the open field, and water
placed near it; but they will not venture
% approach either until the cold abates Il

THE HoUsEHoLp.
Cleaning windows,

Two servants living in adjoining
houses were talking recently, says an
exchange, about their methods of clean
ing windows. The one whose windows
always looked the brightest said she se-
lected dull day for the work, or a day
when the sun was not shining on them,
because when the sun shines it causes
them to be dry -streaked, no matter how
much one rubs. The-painter's brush is
the best article for this purpose, then
wash all the woodwork before the glass
is touched. To cleanse the glass, sim
ply use warm water diluted with am
monia; don't use soap. A small stick
will get the dust out Of the corners;
then wipe dry with piece Of cloth: do
not use linen, as the lint sticks to the
glass. The best way to polish is with
tissue paper or newspaper. To clean
windows in this way takes much less
time than when soap is used. -Meckan-

Potatoes on SANDY Soil

Thirty or forty years ago potatoes
grown on sandy soil were reckoned the
best, and it was thought that heavier
lands were unsuited to them. But po-
tatoes on sand soon run out, probably
from deficiency of potash, and the bulk
of the crop for market is now grown on
heavier land and well manured. The
Early Rose, and in fact most very early
potatoes need to have the land as rich
as it can be made. Thus grown we think
they are better in quality as well as in
yield. The old Mercer potato was sort
that did best on sand, and if much ma
nure was used it always rotted badly.
The Peachblow potato was the first one
to be cultivated on all kinds of soils,
and this, rs much as its good quality,
made itpopular both with growers and

and was placed tremblingly BY the
side Of his desperate comrade. Eight
soldiers were placed in front of them
at ten PAGES. A musket was given to
each Of thezs, when they were told
that four Of them were loaded with
blank, and Sour with ball cartridges,
and were tsld also that four should aim
at one and four at the other. The con-
demned men were blindfolded, and
time was given to pray If they desired.
The old man sank 10 his knees. The
orders were given in a low tono for the
soldiers to make ready, take aim and
fire. Eight muskets belched forth fire
and load, and the men sank 10 the
ground a mass of ifeless clay; the
guard marched solemnly away, and
butllittle notice was taken of the dead
rebcls. Orders were given by General
Blair to let the bodies remain as they
were, and to pun paper to their cloth
ing with the word retaliation written
upon it in large plain letters. 1 found
on examination that four balls had en-
tered the body of the Lieutenant, but
not wound of any kind could be found
on the person of the old man. The
soldiers no doubt all aimed at the
reckless young rebel, and the old man
had died from sheer fright. The writer
can vouch for the correctness of the
above statements, except, perhaps, the
dates, which are not far out of the way.

Economlcal Floral Decorations.

A we'll known New York florist, who
has for many years decorated Thanks
giving and Christmas tables for the sick
of the metropolis, gives this informa-
tion to those who cannot afford dis
play of flowers for table decoration.
Combining his instruction with fair
amount OF taste. lady can make a
beautiful table with limited supply Of
blossoms.
Center pieces are Of utmost impor-
tance, and here. is design for pretty
and effective one which will cost but q
tritie. Twigs of holly not more than
three inches long, with occasional twigs
of variegated holly and few sprays of
small leaved ivy or golden yeined
honeysuckle, should form the base and
trail ON the tablecleth out in several di-
rections. White and yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and q few sprays Of maiden hair
fern will be sufficient for center.
If more color and variety are desired,
white and red primroses or camellias
are flowers that will keep fresh. The
center will be low, and if q higher is de-
sired, make q small cornucopia for the
center, and throw about its base an extra
amount Of twigs and fern, hiding its
sides. From the center should rise white

Roman hyscinths and small sprays d
scarlet geraniums. Should vases OF
flowers be used in addition to the csn-
ter piece, they should be supplied will
sprays of evergreen and some differenf
kinds Of flowers, as the effect will bi
much greater if the flowers contrast with
those In the center.
Potted plants are much liked fol
tables, and those Of moderate size look
we'll if not over-erowded. Two plants
will invariably be found sufficient
Fancy baskets or dishes, filled exclus-
lively with maiden hair fern, are veTy
beautiful. The various shades Of
Chinese primroses or cyclamens light
mp we'll, and there are several small
flowers which can be used with effect
with fronds of maiden hair fern.
If fruit is desired as a center-piecN
instead of flowers, a few vine leavei
with their beautiful autumn tints, II
they can be secured, should be used.
If not, take laurel, ivy, OF bay leaves.
and arrange the fruit upon them. Moths
ing is handsomer for dinner -tablt
than leaves, and these can be had at I
small cost of all florists in midwintes
A bright and pleasing effect can be haf
with holly, particularly il the berriss
can be used in connection with them.
Carnations are beautiful in white and
red for center piece, with maiden
hair fern, but they do not group we'll
with holly. Chrysanthemums suit it faf
better. A very little of any leaf, twia
or flower looks better than too much,
and the danger is in overloading. Table
decorations are meant as rests to the
eye, and they should not usurp the place
of more important things required for
the table.-Drake's Magazine.

THE POULTRY YARD



A correspondent - the Poultry Yard
labors through two columns. the No
taoRGl StockmGp says, to prove that the
most successful breeders of pure bred
poultry do not confine themselves to
| variety, bat breed from two to twenty
five varieties esch. He names some
twenty one leading exhibitors of the
past season who showed an average of
seven varieties each; but by his own
witnesses we can condemn him, for to
our personal knowledge a number of
said Witnesses were remarkably success
ful breeders of single eariety, and SO
soon as they began dabbling in other
varieties they not only reduced the
quality of their original variety, but
failed to put forward successful speci-
mems in their newly chosen varieties.
The exceptions to our rule among those
named are in several cases parties who
breed the different varieties ON different
farms, bringing them together only in
the show room.
We freely admit that it is very expen-
sive to breed, advertise and exhibit one
variety, because the amount of money
that one breed can win at any one show,
Is often less than the expenses incident
to that show. This is the very reason
that has induced some of the old-time
ope breed" fanciers to indulge in other
breeds, but with rare exceptions it is a
mistake. The man who has made a study
of one breed, and by that study has made
o success OF it, may be the very one to
succeed with other breeds, but in nine
cases out of ten he loses his WE'LL earned
prestige on his old breed and fails to
stand even with the fanciers of his new
breed, who have followed it exclusively.
The danger to the amateur is in get
ting several varieties, each crowded into
such limited quarters as to keep all from
being profitable. If he gives one breed
special range it is likely to mix with the
others. He can never SO positively
guarantee purity as when no other breed
comes near. He will lose many a good
order just because some purchaser will
know the danger of eggs from yards
near other varieties. Those who deal in |
many varieties will still urge upon be- !
ginners the advantages of purchasing
several kinds at once-getting eggs
cheaper in this way-but it is dangerous
advice. The man who has but one breed
and follows it patiently and carefully
year by year can give his fowls greater
liberty and better range, can Gull his |
hocks more successfully, can get better
and more uniform prices both for eggs
and market poultry, and can always sat
isfy his customers that he is furnishing |
them pure bred stock. Our experience |
is that where eggs or fowls, or both are
raised for the general market, one va
riety at time pays best.

Mclean, Of Alexandria, Va. Finding
his family were in danger, he removed
after the battle to .Appomattox Court
House.
Here q few years afterward he one
day saw Generals Lee and Grant rid
ing slowly down the street, and, di-
vining their purpose, he offered them
his house for their accommodation.
General Grant accepted, and the two
walked into the parlor and proceeded
to draw up the articles Of surrender.
The table upon which this famous
paper was written was q large, heavy,
octagon-shaped one, and was carried
off by the Union soldiers. It after
ward came in possession Of Mrs. Gen
eral Ord, then was bought by q gem
tleman in Chicago Tor the sum Of one
thousand dollars.
