FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THE best of everything raised on the
farm should be kept for the use of the
farmer and his family.
PEAR juice, heated to los degrees,
and sealed in bottles, win not only
keep well, but prove refreshing drink
in winter.
WHEN hives are not to be moved by
wagons they should be securely fast
ened TO the wagon and packed around
with straw.
KEROSENE is the best of all insect
destroyers and the cheapest, but as it
will injure plants and trees, it should
be applied as an emulsion.
IT is claimed that the bad condition
of many of our country roads is caused
more by ignorance of the laws of drain
age than from any other cause.
SOME one has sug. asted that the dogs
carry bells instead of the sheep, and
that every dog-collar should have bell
attached to it, which would give indi-
cation of their presence.
Ir is not best to allow the chickens
TO eat the dead bees around the hives,
as they soon get to liking them so well
that they do not stop at dead ones, but
pick them off as fast as they come out
of the hive.
THE tomato viii bear ripe fruit and
contain blossoms at the same time
The vines grow into dense mass
unless they are supported. Cut out
some of the branches and allow the
sun to enter.
GLEASON says that horses nostrils
are his fingers, and with them he feels
articles to find whether they will hurt
him. He smells every new object very
thoroughly to decide whether it is
good or bad.

THE LAST ROLL-CALL.

But One to Answer Out of Hundred
Names.
Just an even hundred men answered
"Here?' as the sergeant called the roll
on the morning we awoke beside the
Potomac. There were young men,
middle aged men, men from the town
and men from the farm. Men who go
to war to fight and die beside each 9th
er form strong attachments Com
panies and regiments resolve them
selves into communities which do not
look with favor upon intruders. There
was an even hundred as we marched
away-as we took our first turn at
pieket-as we first sighted the enemy
as we went into battle for the first
time. After the roar of the guns had
died away and the dead had been bur
led only eighty nine men answered
"Here!" to the sergeant's morning roll
call The others were covered up in
long trenches, and their loss drew the
lines closer together
A few weeks went by, and we stood
shoulder to shoulder in battle line
again. There were charge and coun-
ter charge-men screamed out as they
were wounded-men fell dead and ut
tered no cry. In the gloomy forest, by
the light of a campfire, the sergeant
called the roll, and now only seventy
eight men answered Here The red
earth trenches had claimed more vic
Tins, and the ties between the living
were drawn still closer. When a man
has braved death with you that excuses

Then came Coal Harbor and the fall

ed away or fell helpless-men pitched
forward with but a single cry and died
with their faces hidden in the weeds
and grass. After Malvern Hill the ser
geant called the roll again-not the
same sergeant as before, but another
had taken his place-he was lying dead
in the thickets at Fair Oaks-and this
time only fifty-two men answered
Here"
And SO could You wonder that when
recruits came down 70 us we looked
upon them as intruders, even though
they were good men and true and had
come to help us win victories? What
did they know of our dead. of our wea-
risome marches of touching elbows
with us as we waited for the word to
charge the flaming guns? Their names
were called with ours, and we heard
them answer Here But they were
only with US; they could not be Of us.
They had come too late.
And after South Mountain and An
tietam and Second Manassas and Fred
ericksburg and Charlottesville and
Gettysburg and the Wilderness the roll
was called, and our dead were covered
up and other men were sent down to
take their places We shook hands
with them and pretended to be COM
rades, but we had no ties with them.
They had not learned war with us.
They could not 60 back to the begin
ning-to our first dead. And at last
came AppomattoX and the surrender,
and then peace and the return to Wash
.ngton. We were almost a full COM
paDy again as we turned out on the
meadows of Arlington for the last roll
call Upward of seventy living men
could have answered "Here!" to their
names.
Fall in. Company 81 Attention to
roll-call!'
1t was not the sergeant who had
called the roll after Fredericksburg,
after Charlottesville, after Gettys-
burg, after the awful grapple in the
thickets and swamps of the Wilder
ness. 1t was a new man-one who had
been promoted before his cheeks had
scarcely been burned by the southern
sun. But he had heard of the ties
which bound the old veterans together
he realized what this last roll-call
meant to the survivors. And from the
musty archives of the past he took the
roll of the dead and called:
"Anson-Armstrong -Armitage-Als-
dorf!'
No one replied!
Berry = Bloomingdale = Benson
Barstow-Benham!'
No one replied!
'Cary-Carter- Carnahan-C Cummings
--Comstockl"
No one replied!
And so he called, and so the silence
of the death-roll grew deeper and deep
err, until the living felt a chill creep
over them.
"Young-Yeomans-YagerT'
No one replied!
York;
"Here!'
And so he of all was the sole survi-
vor-the last living man of Company G
the only one who had the right to
stand there in that line and answer to
the last roll-call. The others-ninety
and nine-were cripples at home or
sleeping their last sleep on the hill
sides, in the valleys, in the forests and
the thickets of Virginia.
The line cheered him as he stood
apart-the last survivor of a glorious
band which had fought in dozen bat
tles-but he turned away his head and
wept-M Quad, in n. Y. World.

lie SELECTION Of Geese.

In thinning cut the flock Of geese,
always retain the old birds, as they
will often live and breed during the
lifetime of a generation. Geese have
been known to hatch and raise their
young when twenty-five years old. The
old geese are not salable in market.
and as they are better layers and more
careful mothers thar the young geese,
the latter can be nar Keted with more
advantage and profit than by selling
or the old birds.-Farm and Fireside-

The treatment of cider.

In little English work on cider by
Mr.. II. Sopes occurs the following inter
esting remarks about this popular bev-
erage: ''We are constantly being
asked what treatment cider requires at
different seasons. With respect to
casks for summer consumption we
recommend them staged in a cool cell
lar, the contents kept from air as much
as possible, also taking care to use a
wood trap, metal ones being very OBJ
jectionable for cider. | bottle and for
summer consumption within a few
weeks the bottles may stand on end,
but where intended for longer keeping,
especially through the winter, it is alb
solutely necessary to lay them down in
order that the corlss may remain moist
to preserve the gas and flavor; cider so
treated and kept will improve greatly.
Before using, old bottled cider requires
standing up two days to allow the de-
posit to subside. In hot weather, be-
fore opening, if the bottles are plunged
for an hour in ice, broken fine, a most
delicious, cool drink, closely resem bling
q fine champagne, will be the reward;
this is far superior to the usual custom
of emptying bottle into jug and
then adding q lump or two of ice; such
a course completely changes the elders
character and flavor"

the same lines Pearre fought in the
Senate ?-Pearre, the young man who

hear against Pearre which comes from
the Wellington people, viz: that his
majority was so much smaller than
Wellington's in 1889, and | want to
ask my republican workers if
they remember the word that came
down the line day or two before the
election in 1889:
Don't let Pearre be defeated, bit Keep his
majority dorm
That is partly why Mr.. Wellington
got 800 and Mr.. Pearre only 400.

brothers will consider all things and
will not be deceived by the claims of
Mr.. Wellington's friends. The most
OF us have nothing to gain by electing

CORRESPONDENTS.
Where Was Wellington?
CUMBERLAND, MD, July II, L

CUMBERLAND, ND, July II, 1892.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The communication in your issue of
July 9, 1892, is a peculiarly untrue
one to emanate from '"Truth." 1t is
full of misstatements and misrepre-
sensations to claim for Mr.. George L..
Wellington some credit, aye, great
credit for the defense and preservation
of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal as a
channel of transportation for our coal
to the eastern market. For this pur-
pose it quotes, or pretends to quote,
from the Daily Neacs some words of Mr..
Wellington in favor of the canal at a
meeting held in Cumberland in 1886.
Now, let us see how absurd that
claim is, or indeed any claim of credit
Of Mr.. Wellington for a defense of the
canal when the canal was really in
danger.
When the meeting referred to was
held the Legislature of 1856 had ad-
journed not to meet again until 1883.
In 1856 Mr.. Mulvaney, Hon. William
Walsh, Mr.. j. W. Thomas and others
were heartily in favor Of its preserva-
ton, while in 1890, when the real
serious effort of the democratic
party to destroy it was made, all of
these gentlemen believe that railroad
on the towpath was best. Indeed, in
1856 Mr.. Muivaney. who was an officer
in the employ of the canal company,
went to Annapolis and defended the
canal before the Legislature. But IN
1890, while Col. Pearre was fighting
for the canal, Mr.. Mulyaney appeared
before the Committee on Corporations
against the canal said it was dead,
and that it ought TO be sold to the rail
road.
In 1889 the State platform of the re-
publican party contained plank in
favor OF the canal. The canal counties
adopted like planks and Col. Pearre
made it the prominent issue of his
eompaign in his speeches through the
county. Let Truth quote one Word
in favor Of its preservation from q
speech delivered by Mr.. Wellington in
this county during that whole cam
palgn. He canoot find one.
Mr.. Wellington was not member
OF the county convention which adopt
ed that platform. How then did he
write the plank in favor of tire canal ?

people whether and when Mr.. yelling
