A FRIGHTENED NEGRO.
His Lightning Retreat at the Baltic OF
Pen Ridge.

His Lightning Retreat at the Baltic OF
Pea Ridge.
'"The worst frightened man / ever
saw" said Judge Fitzgerald, of San
Francisco, twas at Pea Ridge, when
we were attacked by the federal troops.
For body servant I had a strapping
big negro boy, whose duty it was to
look after my blankets and rations,
and negro-like he was forever crawling
away into some out-of-the-wa place to
sleep Just as we were expecting the
advance the federals opened fire on us
at rather close range. We were on the
skirmish line, and in a moment ous
men were deployed in battle array.
Just as the fire began to grow heavy
heard piercing yell and saw my negro
boy flying along between the lines
Every step would have measured fif-
teen feet, and every time his foot struck
the ground he would yell % Lord! loud
enough to be heard in both camps.
With him he had my blankets and ra-
tions, and at every jump he would
leave portion of one or the other in
his wake. AS far as could see him he
was going like a frightened deer, and
long after he was out of sight / could
hear him yell. He had been sleeping
exactly midway between the lines when
the battle opened, and it is not surpris-
ing that he was scared. Two weeks
elapsed before he returned to camp, but
he never could be induced to talk of his
Pea Ridge experience. San Francisco

d. M. PASS, of Calhoun, Ga, wishes
to obtain the address of union soldier
whom he assisted to escape from An.
Jacksonville prison. Pass was guard al
the prison in 1854, and he says that two
men were under guard one night while
he was on duty. One man was under
sentence to be shot, the other for some
trifling offense. Both men begged Pass
to allow the condemned man to escape
and he complied and allowed him tc
pass out and escape to the woods. The
commanding officer offered reward o.
three hundred dollars and furlougl
for thirty days for evidence to convict
the guilty guard, but the secret wal

FATTEN OLD FOWLS.
now One Man Has Made II Success OF the
Poultry Business.


Hens that have produced eggs all
through the season are about through
their usefulness as layers for this year.
My old soldier friend and neighbor who
has been SO successful with his 400
fowls is now fattening the oldest birds
and those which have been culle9 for
other reasons, and he will sell them be-
fore they begin to moult. In October
his March pullets will start to lay, just
when the price of eggs begins to ad-
vance. A great secret of success
is: he will not be at the expense of
maintaining fowls any time of year IN
less they are either growing or pro-
ducing. He raises his own pullets;
persons who do not would save money
by disposing of the old hens now and
purchasing early pullets next fall.
From this time until winter old hens
will hardly pay their keep, and they
will bring more than enough now to
buy pullets then. To prepare fowls
for market at this season they should
be restrained in an airy inclosure two
weeks before killing, where bugs and
worms can form no part of their diet;
many would buy poultry in summer
who do not now if they could have that
assurance. Our soldier poultryman
avails himself of this feeling of con-
sumers and gets 2 cents pound above
market price. Many prefer fowls Of
some age to chickens; boiled until ten
der and then stewed down there is
more substance to them and better
taste-iust as god veal is better than
''bob veal."-Cor. N. Y. Tribune.

How to Build Small Sheds Quickly and nc
Small Cost.
Although balloon-frame buildings
have long been accepted as abundant
ly strong and dura BILE, the farmer has
rarely acted on the suggestions their
construction offers for building with
his own hands small sheds. ETC., quick
ly and at slight cost. Frequently a
small addition to hay bay just before
haying is DESIRED but deferred because
the only carpenter in the place is not
at liberty. An extension for animals
would often be built if the owner could
do it without expense for extra help.
But just how to go to work is the ques-
ton. The thought of getting out a
frame is a bugbear to most men not
carpenters.
Now the plan of building which COM
mcnds itself in the engraving requires
no framing. With eight-inch posts

three and one-half feet long, cut in the
woods, and hewed on one side of the
upper eighteen inches, and two-inch
plank, the owner can erect a shed, lean
to or extension as quickly and SUBJ
stantially as any carpenter with the old
mortised frame or modern miterd one.
The posts must be set four feet apart
and two feet in the earth. If the spot
chosen is not we'll drained, the holes
should be dug below frost level and
filed to within two feet of the surface
with rock powders on which to stand
the posts. The uprights for all sides
(for no corner posts of weight are re-
quired) are spiked to the f1attened outer
sides of these short pieces set in the
earth. Inside of the uprights, resting
on the heads of the posts, another
plank is spiked, both down and to the
standards. The joists and plates are
also spiked inside the uprights in the
same manner as the sill-pieces.
Covered with novelty siding, such a
building is as neat and well braced as
one can desire. If vertical siding is to
be used, the uprights are stood upon
the posts, where they are held in place
by spikes, and the sill-pieces put or
outside. The joists and plates, in thi:
case, have to be placed outside the up
rights, for, with the sill-pieces, they re
ceive the verticle siding. If flooring
be used, it may be laid on timber!
