Recovered After Many Years.

The unearthing of a large quantity
of stolen silverware, gold lined snuff
boxes, ETC., in a cave near Jasper, Tenn,
has created a sensation. The story beats
fiction long way. During the winter
of 1864 the Federal soldiers were en-
camped for some time on Battle creek.
Among them was an Ohio regiment.
Not long since a gentleman appeared in
the neighborhood and told the follow
ing story:
He was member of the Ohio regi-
ment referred to, and in his mess was a
soldier who was born thief, and who
never let an opportunity pass to steal
anything he could carry. During the
time they were encamped at the mouth
of Battle creek he hid his steaEngs in
cave, and so clever was he in his work
that no suspicion ever fell upon him. -
short time ago the two old comradeSV
were together talking over their experi-|
ences, when the story of the stolen sil-
verware was told and the request made
that the gentleman referred to visit the
locality, search for the cave, and, if pos
sible, recover the hidden silverware and
restore the articles to the rlghtful own
ers or their heirs.
The old soldier who had so many years
ago gone wrong is getting aged and Fee

PREPARATION, as far as in his power, he
begged his old commander to do this foy
him. He was successful in finding nd
only the place, but the plumber.
least 200 pounds of silverware of eve -
kind almost was found in the cave,
ranging from napkin rings to solid silver
water sets. Many Of the articles have
the owners initials on them, and all are
in state of good preservation. The
articles have been taken to a store in the
village near by, and are being turned
over to those entitled to them as rapidly
as possible.-Cor. Houston Post.

Beginning with the Incubator.


Those who contemplate using incu-
bators and breeders need not wait until
the time arrives for beginning opera
tons, but would do we'll to conduct an
experimental hatch in order to be more
familiar with their work. From Novem-
Der to April is the season for using in
cubators, as the chicks that reach the
market from January to June bring the
highest prices.
There is one thing that the hen will
not do, and that is to sit before she is in
clined to, and this inclination on her
part may be postponed so late as to rem
der her less serviceable. The only al
tentative is the incubator. This can be
operated at any time, and will hatch
more chicks at one operation than will
q dozen hens. The incubator fills a
place Shat the hen has left vacant.
Though 1T entails labor, both day and
night, in operating the incubator, as
well as in caring for the chicks in the
breeders, yet the work is bestowed on
large numbers at once, and when people
Of experience manage such business they
are amply remunerated. There is some
loss at times, and for the novice often
disappointment.
It is not intended to advise an anna
teur to venture into broiler raising in
the expectation of making it pay at first.
But it is well to try an incubator if it is
desired to hatch chicks in winter. Do
not venture with large one. An incu-
bator holding not over 200 eggs will
give the best results. Experiment with
it and learn, and use the breeders for
the same purpose. The beginner will
be surprised on finding how much he
will be compelled to learn by expert
ence, for no matter how much he may
have ''read up" on the subject, in actual
work hundreds of little details will ap.
pear Of which he was not before aware
But as all difficulties can be overcome,
one need only persevere to succeed

Dairy and Creamery.

A correspondent Of Hoard's Dairyman
finds that salt is good thing on ensi-
lage when there is not too much of it.
To every foot Of ensilage he sprinkles
salt about as thickly as he would sow
grain in a field at three bushels to the
acre.
A butter dairyman with herd of Jer-
seys in New York the other day tested
the milk of ten of his COWS just as they
came into the stable to be MIXED, and
found it averaged 4.72 butter fat. The
richest sample ran 5.8, the poorest 4.
The richest milk as we'll as the poorest
it may be observed, came from COWS of
the ST. Lambert family. Blood does not
always tell, but it does nearly always,
often enough to bet on anyhow.
A bull may be bred to two genera
tions Of cows, mother and daughter;
then he should be changed, as inbreed-
ing should not go further than this.
It will be interesting to know who
gets some of that 81, $50 offered by the
American Jersey Cattle club in cash
prizes for the best fifty essays on Jersey
cattle. The essays were all to be in by
Sept /, and the result will ere long be
known.
Whatever breed of dairy cattle fails
to be sufficiently advertised and i'm
proved in this country, it is certain that
the Jerseys will not get left as long as
the American Jersey Cattle club is alive.
In localities where it is too cold for
Indian corn to ripen it may be grown
for ensilage with great profit.
A good way to build up a good city
milk trade is to give your customers
nothing but good milk. Hundreds of
city people have concluded they did not
like milk and it did not agree with
them simply because they were imposed
on by the SKINNED and adulterated milk
furnished by dishonest statesmen. A hui
man being could support life on milk
alone and get fat besides if the milk
was pure and of rich quality.

A Baby Climbs a Ladder.

Think of a baby twenty-four hours
old climbing astepladderI It was rather
an understood infant for that age too.
OF course it could not climb up by it'
self, so the nurse carried it in her arms.
1t did not cry, but clapped its hands de"
ightedly. The child was a little boy
and the climbing Of the stepladder took
place in the very room where he waA
born. The mother regarded it as an inns
portant event evidently. 1t was by he1
orders that the performance took place.
Her interest waSnone the less because
it was all for the sake of gratifying an
old time superstition.
Monthly nurses all agree that If q
baby goes down stairs before it goes up
stairs its path in life will be downward
and i'll luck will attend it. Accordingly
precautions should be taken against
such an omen. In this instance the
child having been born on the top floor
of the house it could not be carried up
stairs, and therefore its mother had sug-
gested the ingenious plan Of having a
stepladder brought into the room so that
nurse could mount it vito baby in her
arms.
But that was not all. A small Testa-
ment was attached by string to the
child's arm and in its chubby little fist
was placed a gold dollar. Thus reason
able certainty was secured that the boy
would grow up both rich and pious. At
the same time it seems very odd to see
such superstitious observances practiced
in the city of Washington in the year
1892.-W ashington Star.

.AeratinC Milk.

Professor Henry H. Wing, of the ag-
rlcultural experiment station of Cornell
university, has been making a series of
experiments in aerating milk. He tried
the various known methods and the
patented aerators that have been put on
the market. He also compared the
cream raising powers of aerated milk
and that diluted both with hot and cold
water. AS to cream raising, the sum of
the trials is that the best results are to
be had from plunging undiluted milk in
ice water at 40 dogs. When milk is put
into water as cold as this there is no adj
vantage to be got from diluting it, and
you get the good skimmilk besides. The
milk was allowed to stand twenty-four
hours before skimming. Then he tried
aerated and nonaerated milk to see
which kept sweet the longer. On this
point the professor says:
"The difference in favor of the aera-
ton is considerably less than we had
expected to obtain; but there were sew
eral conditions that are likely to have
made this difference less than it would
be under ordinary circumstances. In
the first place, the air in which the
milk was set was comparatively uni
form in temperature and free from CON
terminating odors; in the second place,
only a short time elapsed after milking
and aeration, so there was little chance
for contamination in the stable. Then
again all the surroundings of the cattle
were kept as neat and clean as could
well be done. We believe that under
the conditions that affect most dairies
the good effects Of aeration would be
more pronounced than those we OBJ
tanned. But we are inclined to regard
as extravagant the statement recently
made in leading agricultural paper
that 'aerated milk will keep at least
three times as long as nonaerated."
The question is often raised whether
milk that is intended for butter making
may be aerated and the cream after
ward successfully separated by the
gravity process. Four trials were
made in which the milk that had been
aeTated was set in Cooley cans at 40
dogs. side by side with milk of the same
lot that had not been aerated. In all
cases the temperature of the creamer
was from 20 to "A, and the milk set
twenty-four hours. The results were as
follows:
Aerated, av. per cent. of fat in skimmiIk.. SO
Not aerated, av. per cent. Of fat in sI1immilk 81
1t will be seen that while there was
some loss in the efficiency of the cream
ing Of the aerated milk it was not very
great. What is remarkable is that the
aerated milk suffered nofall of tempera-
ture after it was placed in the creamer,
and was more efficiently creamed than
the diluted milk set at so dogs, where
the fall of temperature was from 30 to 50
dogs. This seems to be in direct contra
diction to the theory which supposes that
the fall of temperature after the milk is
set is one of the chief factors in com

PLAN FOR ICEHOUsE.

side of these posts light frame should
be covered with heavy building paper
~ inches from the lining and IL to 2
inches from the paper; the covering
should be nailed on lightly. This work
leaves two dead air spaces between the
sunshine and the ice, and no sawdust
packing will be needed. A ventilator in
the shape of a blinded window should
be placed in both gables under the roof
and the best of drainage must be pro-
vided below.
In the cut the outer line shows the
covering; the middle one the paper lin
ing; strips of plank are spiked over the
4 by posts to which to nail the cover
ing, and the inner line is the matched
lining. Of course the plan can be mod
flied to suit circumstances, the main
thing being to have the dead air space.
An inside tight frame, with the outside
partition Of sod or adobe bricks, we'll
plastered together with clay mud, would
do. IF you live on western farm and
have more straw than you can use, build
a straw stack right over such a house
and ice will keep in it the year round.
Straw, coarse hay or chaf can be used
in place Of sawdQst for packing ice if
you think any packing ecessary.-Farm

Mrs. J. W. Hood had a peculiar ex,
perience a few days ago. She was
searching for mislaid article and was
rummaging about on the closet shelves,
when she laid her hand on a lady's colo
watch. It did not belong to her. and
she was at loss to understand how It
came there. The incident worried her
SO that she finally went to the Office
where Mr.. Hood is employed to tell him
about it. Mr.. Hood was as much sur
prised as his wife, and advised her to
make a further investigation. Upon
her return home she again went to the
closet shelf and there found her silver
spoons, which she had packed away in a
trunk in another room few DAYS be-
fore.
The only satisfactory explanation thew
could find was that burglars had been
in the house and had the gold watch
with them. They probably found the
silver spoons, and were looking in the
closet for other valuables when they be-
came frightened and hurried away. leay-
ing the watch and spoons lying on the
shelf. Mrs. Hood has advertised the
watch, but SO far has failed to find an
owner.-Chicago Journal.

Aerial TorDedoes.

The Marine Franchise publishes an ar
ticle by Admiral Reveillere, in which he
assures his readers that revolution in
naval affairs is approaching not less i'm
portant than that caused by the intro
duction of armored ships. The gun will
cease it's contest with the armor plate in
the sense of seeking to penetrate by it's
shock, and will henceforth scatter de-
struction by launching explosive shells
of large capacity at comparatively low
velocities A shell containing 100 kilo-
grams of panclastite would, he says,
be veritable torpedo, and would infal-
libby destroy whatever it fell upon. The
gun for this service would be mortar,
such as is used for military purposes,
and in the admirals view mortar of
% en-. $50 inches) would replace a gun
of ID en-. (5.5 inches), and one of 81 en-.
10.6 inches) gun Of 10 en-. (6.2 inches),
wherever these are found.
Guns of high velocity, he says, must
be reserved for action against the per-
sonnet; they have henceforth no place
against the ship itself. This proposal is
but an extension of Admiral Reveillere's
project of swift mortar vessels, analo-
gous to torpedo boats, but constructed
for the launching Of aerial torpedoes.
