The provost in their peculiar line

Is true incident and | have often
met the hero when we were In front

One of the selectmen OF town in
New England had been very active in
procuring recruits. but was like the
man who urged others to get religion
but forgot TO get any himself. IL had
never occurred 10 his mind 10
set an example and enlist him
self. When the draft came he drew n
prize--to go. Going TO dentist ne
had all his front teeth extracted. Proud
OF his own Yankee sharpness. he
boosted TO his friends that he had
procured his own exemption without
expense. As the man was sound In
every way the provost autographed TO
Washington for instructions. and re-
ceived orders 60 take the man and
accept neither substitute nor excuse
for exemption. as an example must be
made in this case The conscript,
who was man OF wealth. was
at once taken. and as he could
not serve very well in infantry.
he was assigned TO artillery. He had
n false set of teeth made by a dentist.
and thus equipped, was ready for army
rations, hard or soft. Unfortunately,
the first day out from Boston the false
teeth followed the baked beans over
the side OF the steamer. and he landed
at the front in poor shape to utilize
the lovely bareback and army beef.
He made good soldier at the Gals
sons. but wns always late In getting
through his rations, as IL required

Something About the SILK. Worm nuiberry-

Raising Onions Farm and
Stock Notes.


Since the formation of the Women's
Silk Culture association. now several
years ago. IA great deal OF interest has
been excited In the silk worm indus
try. Plants are sent free TO those who
give proper guarantee that they will
cultivate them for the purpose specI-
fed. The association started right at
first by deciding on the use of the
Morus alba. the white mulberry, as the
proper one for the purpose. aud they
have adhered to tho sending out OF
this one alone. despite the we'll
meant but mistaken advice OF somo
persons To use the multicaulIs, or
some other ono differing from the
alba IL Is said that the silk from
worms fed on the leaves OF che multi
caulis Is finer than that from those fed
on the alba. While this may be so. Il Is
well known TO those familiar with the
subject that multicaulis-fed worms do
not long continue healthy This was
why the industry came 10 an end
many years ago, when the craze
known TO Philadelphians as the .'mul-
ticaulis fever" ragged Though there
wero many who went into the business
from excitement alone. believing that
II offered 4 large field for great profits.
there was nothing then TO prevent its
paying fair profit, excepting that tho
wrong kind OF mulberry was used.
There was something in the multicau-
lis which did not agree with the
worms They siclSened and died. and
this IL was which brought the business
TO an end. The explanation given for
tho lack of fitness OF the plant was,
that as IL was but variety and not n
truo species. II could not be raised
from seeds, but had to be increased by
cuttings and layers. The excessive
propagation the demand called for so
weakened the plants that they became
siclSly, and thus caused lack othealth
in tho worms; and no doubt this was
tho cause OF failure. The mulberry
now used is raised from seeds. which
insurcs a healthy tree 10 start with.
Tho stripping OF the leaves TO feed the
worms, OF course Injuries the trees to
some extent The wisest way Is TO
set out enough trees. that ono set can
be left entirely alone every other year.
Even thcn the trees in use should only
ho partially stripped. as. If wholly
defoliated. 1t Is almost death to them.
Usage orange leaves can be fed TO the
silk-worm, but are not TO be recon-
NEEDED. rs they produce coarse silk.
AS said above, the common white
mulberry. Morus alba, has been found
the best OF ali trees that have been
tried.
