How Soldier Got Even with Tricky
Livery Man.

How Soldier Got Even With Tricky
Livery Man.
In the early days of the civil war the
| Maine volunteer regiments were quar-
tered at Augusta for several weeks
after their organization, to be drilled
and trained before going to the front
Many of the soldiers were young men
from the country, in whose pockets the
bounty money burned as long as it
lasted to the great advantage of Au-
gusta store and stable keepers.
Two soldiers came into livery sta
BILE one morning and asked the propri-
etor how much he would charge for a
team to go to Waterville.
six dollars was the reply.
The bargain was closed, and the SOL
diers drove off. Toward night they re-
turned, and one of them stepped into
the office and rendered the proprietor
six dollars.
''Oh. no." he exclaimed, your bill
is twelve dollars"
How is that?''
"Why, you asked me how much for
a team to take you to Waterville, and
said six dollars; but you came back,
didn't you? l meant six dollars each
way"
The two friends, after little confer
ence, paid the swindler the twelve dol
lars, and went away without a word
About week later soldier again
appeared at the stable Office and in
quired: How much for a team to
Waterville?'
''Six dollars" replied the proprietor,
not recognizing the man upon whom
he had played SO mean trick the week
before.
The sol lier took the team and started
off. A out five o'clock in the afternoon
he appeared, on foot, and walking into
the Office, said:
Here's your six dollars for that team
l hired this morning"
But where's the team?" was the as
tonished rejoinder
ooh, / only hired it to go to Water
vile, svou know l left it at the hotel
stable down there. 1t cost me six dol
lars to bring it back last week, so /
thought I'd return by cars this time 1t
is SO much cheaper, you see, " and he
left the proprietor to his meditations
about the comparative smartness of
civilians and soldiers. Youths Com

PUPA
blsssom to blossom in the latter part
of May, and in the early part of June
they were pairing freely, An exami-
nation of the clover blossoms about
the 25th of June showed that over one
half of the heads examined were in
tested. The larvae are greenish- white
caterpillars, less than one-third of an
inch long, which begin near the base of
the blossom and eat their way upward
destroying the forets as they go From
the rate of growth it appears that
there are at least three broods yearly
Examinations of hay cut early in June
showed that all the larvae were killed
by the heat and pressure resulting
from storing it This fact suggests
that the remedy for this insect is to cut
and store the hay and all patches of
clover at this time. THE larvae live
some time in loose punches of cut
clover. This will effectually prevent
the appearance Of later broods and is
also found to be protective against the
depredations of clover seed nudge.

Raising Pork in WINTER.

Fall pigs can be fattened in winter
by giving them summer conditions
about as well and cheaplY as they can
be fattened in summer. Double board
the pen and fiji in with sawdust Or
straw Let the earth come up flush
with the sills and then lay the flooring.
Keep a thermometer inside and the
temperature at sixty degrees. Wheat
bran, mill feed, vegetables, cut clover
and corn, the last few weeks, will do
the rest. Fresh pork brings most in
spring, and this excess usually is sufi-
Gent to pay the extra care. And then
the work occurs when the farmers have
the most time to spare,
