situation there better than i can tell it.
We drilled eight hours q day, and no
let up. Our Colonel (Ammen) was
bound that We should be soldiers. At
first we were armed with cornstalks,
sticks, broomsticks, anything to drill
with. We finally got some old mus
kets, snd-well, we were ready to meet
the foe.
In o regiment of q thousand men
there are odd characters, and Company
G had her quota. 1t happened that,
shortly after receiving our muskets, I
and an Irishman by the name of Denny
were detailed for camp guard. We got
along very nicely, and put on consider
erable style. About midnight i heard
some one coming down the guard line,
and, Of course, according to regulations,
I challenged the advancing party,
who proved to be our Colonel making
the grand rounds alone. He had the
face to ask me for my gun, saying that
he wanted to drill me. 1 was beard
less boy of 18 summers; the Colonel
was a tiger on drill, and drilling made
me tired. ~Not much, Colonel; you
don't get my gun" After posting me as
to my duly while on guard, he
passed on.
Our Denny was on the next beat,
and he saw the Colonel coming.
~Good-evening to yez, Colonel, says
Denny.
%Let me have your gun," says tho
Colonel.
"Sure yez can have it," says Denny /;
"and sure and sure its dom fine man
yez are"
With this, he gave the Colonel his
gun, remarking: "Oill be afther going
to the guard-house and light my pipe. y
And walked off, leaving the Colonel
standing guard.
1 had to call the corporal of the
guard, who relieved the Colonel by
sending another guard. Denny fin
ished smoking in the guard-house,
where he was locked up.
"The divil take the Colonel! Afther
asking man for his gun, he locks
him up for obeying orders!" was Dem
ny's lament.

the hanging, for if there was any one

had thus passed sentence on them.

THE DAIRY.


Mr.. Joseph E. Miller, President of the
Southern Illinois Dairy Association, has
given some words in the Dairy column
that are full of truth. He says:
When one goes through the country
stores and sees the piles and boxes of
poor, greasy looking butter, off in taste,
off in looks, and nearly all, Especially
at this time of the year, as white as the
paper on which this is written, and
considers to what extent the finest gifts
of nature are annually wasted, amount
ing yearly to many millions of dollars,
we must certainly admit that there is
an immense field ripe for missionary
work, and as long as SO large q propor-
tion of the butter made in this country
comes from the farm and the private
diary, the great necessity of dairy liter
ature Of kind that will enter these
homes must be apparent.
claim nothing new for what I am
about to say, but for reasons given, /
consider that there is plenty of room
for the advice to be given. Now would
not the above mentioned butter. look
better, and perhaps by little help from
the imagination, taste better, with a
little harmless butter color? Are not
those rolls of a fine straw color
picked out first? and the coloring
matter will cest but mere tri6e to the
amount of butter colored. Why then
not cater to the wants Of your customers
when it can be SO easily and SO cheaply
done?
Another cause Of the poor appearance
Of large percentage OF farm butter is
the greasy look impaired to it BY hand
ling and working it with the naked
hands. This is never done by good
butter makers. For small quantities use
% wooden butter bowl and wooden
paddle, for large quantities one Of the

Bowers, if you we're going to select
commander for the cavalry arm Of the
Potomac army, who would be the
man? The Colonel modestly replied
that, knowing Fitzpatrick to be man
of unquestioned bravery and dash, he
would choose him. Grant then turned
to General Rawlins and requested his
choice. Rawlins replied: We have
tried General Crook in many positions,
and have always found him the man
for the emergency and the place, and
he is cavalry officer of much pru-
dence; he would be my choice Grant
smoked silently and apparently uncon-
cerned for few moments, and then
replied substantially: Colonel, am.
pleased with your friendship for Kill
patrick, and have no doubt as to his
ability, his bravery, and his dash as
cavalry commander, but he is not the
man for the emergency that now con-
fronts u.s. Then turning. to General
Rawlins, whom he always addressed
Familiarity as John, he said: John,
everything you say Of Crook is true.
He is q brave, cautious, and trust
worthy officer, and might, perhaps, fill
the position admirably, but / have So
lected a man who think combines oil
the dash OF Fitzpatrick and all the pru-
dence of Crook in one, and that man is

many kinds of butter workers in use
will prove good help and q great con-
venience. But We cannot hold dis
eliminating trade alone with appear
ances, The article We supply must have
real merit, and one of the most grievous
causes for not having this in so much of
our country butter, is the want of pro-
per attention to Temperature and the
absence Of the Thermometer in the farm
dairy. Nothing is of more Importance
In the dairy, not even cleanliness, than
. proper observation of temperature,
commencing with that of the stable, and
from the time the milk leaves the COW,
until the butter appears apon the table.
o, what an amount of muscle can
sometimes be saved by the use Of little
brain.
Another cause of poor butter is that
OF Keeping the cream too long, or until
1t is too old and sour. This often hap
pens where but few cows are kept,
hence the cream is kept too long wait
ing for sufficient quantity to accumu-
late, and to this, new cream is often
added just before churning. This may
not make butter any worse, but there
will be lose from the inability to extract
AHOuu tue new anu uu-
ripened cream.
Another mistake much in vogue is
that of sailing with common barrel salt.
Some of this salt looks very nice and
clean, but nearly all contains impurities
SO that it should not be used in butter.
The difference in cost of the small
amount used between that and the best
and purest dairy salt is but q trife, and
ha l0kk mil H.
sweet and agreeable taste, SO pleasant
to the refined taste. Use scale and
weigh both salt and butter. DO nothing
by guess, have the butter at proper tenn
perature for working, and give the salt
time to dissolve before working it into
the butter or trying to do so by the ap-
plication of sufficient muscular power
to damage the texture, and injure its ap-
pearance and keeping qualities. And
always be sure to pay strict attention to
the wants of your customers.

and it was at Fredericksburg that he
performed his crowning act Of bravery.
ALI day after the battle of Fredericks-
burg a CALLING fire was kept up be-
tween Kershaw's Brigade (Confederate)
and Sykes Division Omitted States
army. The ground between the fam
GUS "stone wall" and Sykes Division
was bridged by the wounded, dead and
dying, and from all the ranks of the
fallen men rose up the cry in agonized
tones, "Waterl Water!" The Confed-
crate General sat upstairs in room
In Stevens house when Sergeant
Kirkland burst into the room and asked
Indignantly:
General, can you do nothing for
those perishing men?"
what do you mean? ?"
@All day and night l have listened
to those men crying for water. I want
permission to give them water"
kirkland, it is sure death"
Il know it, but am willing to risk
it,"
The General took him by the hand
and said, while his voice trembled with
emotion:
Il ought not to permit you to run
such risk, but your motives are so
noble cannot say no. May your God
be with you"
4Thank you, sir May show white
handkerchief"
Il am sorry to refuse you, Kirkland,
but | cannot permit it"
@All right, sir"
Kirkland ran down the stairs with
smile lighting up his handsome face.
With what anxiety he was watched as
he stepped over the stone wall. How
their hearts beat quickly, and then
seemed to stop, and then beat harder
than ever! Oh, it was a grand,
glorious sight to watch that young
soldier on his Christ-like errand. He
reached the nearest wounded unhurt.
Raising their heads, he poured the
ife-giving fluid down their parched
and burning throats, and covered
many from the cold with their army
coats. Both sides now understood his
mission. Firing upon and around him
ceased, and for an hour and a half did
he minister to their needs, not only
relieving their thirst for the present
but providing for their returning thirst
by filing their empty canteens.
Such deeds should never die. They
should be emblazoned in letters of
gold upon the pages of history. Poets
should embalm his noble act in un-
dying verse, painters reproduce the
scene upon their glowing canvas.
His deed should be sung at the cradle,
And told to the child on the knee,
As long as there lives soldier
Who marched meath the flag Of Lee.
To love those who love us is human,
to love our enemies is godlike.

Governor Brown ordered levy for
war of all the white male population of
Georgia between 16 and As years old.
He also offered pardon to all peniten-
tiary convicts who would become Con-
federate soldiers, but only hundred
availed themselves of the offered free
dom. A number of these were cap
tured in their striped prison garb by
the Union army. Benjamin Fl. Hill,
a member of the United States Senate
in 1882, was in 1864 Senator from
Georgia to the Confederate Govern
ment. He sent from Richmond a
proclamation to Georgians, saying:
Every citizen with his gun and
every negro with his spade and ak can
do the work of soldier. You can de-
stroy the enemy by retarding his
march. Be firm, act promptly, and
fear not !"
But none of these efforts were able
to arouse serious opposition to Sher-
mans advance.
