How They sratched Up Dinner at

How They Snatched Up n Dinner at
Which He Had just sat Down.
Mr.. j. c. Jamison tells an interesting
story OF Sherman's march TO the sea
For eighteen days the men had been on
quarters rations- and on this particular
day they took up their weary march
without any breakfast Along about
noon they came to a pretty plantation
presided over by a cultured and wealthy
adherent Of the lost cause. His mansion
was palatial, and everything the eye
beheld betOkened plenty.
Visions Of a square meal arose before
the tired boys in blue, and those in the
van quiel1ened their pace and soon were
on a dead run for the house Mr.. Jami-
son was something of a Splinter in those
days, and was the first to reach the
house. He dashed through the kitchen
and headlong into the dining room, but
no sooner had he passed the door than
he stopped, transfxed with horror. Be
fore him sat Gen. Sherman and some of
his staff officers. the guests of the house.
Before them was steaming dinner.
Anticipating instant arrest, Mr. Jami-
son tried to retreat, but the hungry
hosts blocked the way. They showed
him forward. and a brawny hand reached
over his shoulder and seized a savory
spring chicken. That was a signal, and
in an instant the grooming table was
stripped of everything edible
General" shouted the outraged ex-
ponent of southern chivalry do you
stand silently by and see me thus plum
dered?"
Yes" quietly responded Gen. Sher-
man. The boys are hungry. They
have been on quarter rations for eigh-
teen days, and we are living off the
country. l guess they need the dinner
worse than we do. Pittsburgh Dis

If you have no silo grow a crop of
corn for fodder. Plant the seed in
rows, cultivate well, and cut the fodder
corn when the ears are glazed, the
same as for ensilage, but the fodder
should be well cured and then stored
in the barn in a clean and bright con-
dition.
Mosr people think they must wait
many years fc~ returns from the
planting of peach or cherry pits. We
have heard, on good authority, that
Texas man ate peaches from tree two

Lameaess in Young Turkeys.

At this season many complaints are
made that young turkeys become lame
and swell at the joints The difficulty
is due mostly, to the high roosting
