cannot justly give an estimate of
Gen. Butler as soldier, because have
not studied his military career and did
not servo with him. However, can
tell you Of an instance where he showed
his promptness OF decision and his lack
OF any personal fear
When we left New York In April,
1861, with the regiments, going by sea
by way OF Fortress Monroe to Wash
Ington, we had with us Gen. Keyes,
who was then lieutenant colonel and
aide-de-camp to Gen. Scott. Reyes was
under instructions from Gen. Scott TO
place troops at Fortress Monroe, An
napolis and Fort McHenry. On our ar
rival at Fortress Monroe we found that
Massachusetts troops had been placed
there by Gen. Butler. At Annapolis
we found Gen. Butler himself In COM
mand had never heard of Gen. But
Ter as q military officer. OF course I
had heard Of the famous Ben Butler,
the great democratic politician. Tho
steamer on which my regiment was
carried was the Baltic, Of the famous
Collins line She drew too much water
to 90 alongside the dock at Annapolis
Gen, Burnside's Rhode Island regiment
was in the Coatz Coalcos, q steamer OF
the Nicaraguan line, oflighter draught.
1t had been agreed between Gen. Burn
side and myself that after landing his
troops his steamer should como along
side of the Baltic to lighter my regi

A convenient place is to locate them In

An excavation the width OF the cell

which is built on the lower hillside.
The opposite wall is formed by the cut

skilled labor being required. Large
storage room is provided in such eel
lar; $4,000 celery plants have been ac-
commodated and hundreds of bushels
of vegetables, apples and other fruits
have been held during the fall and
winter, On large fruit ferns such a
building designed to properly care for
fruit during shipping and packing and
as storehouse for temporary use is a

The handling Of fresh meat Is direct

ton and In no other direction are It's
benefits more marked or widespread.
The cattle OF the western plains have
become the daily food of those living at
the antipodes. In ten years, from 1880
to 1891, the imports of fresh beef and
mutton into Great Britain increased
from 400 to nearly $500, 900 carcasses.
During the same period the beef ex-
ports alone from the United States adj
vanced from 80, 800 to l0l, 800 tons.
Not only are meats carried In refriR-
orator vessels from America and the
antipodes to England, but within a
year Australian milk has been shipped
in frozen blocks in such quantities MS
to be retailod in the streets Of London
for four cents per quart. Butter,

BOOTS FOR FEED.
Hogs Like Them and They Should Hav'
Them Livery Day.

Hogs Like Them and They Should Have
Them Livery Day.
The cheapest winter feed for swine
are roots. They may not have so much
nutriment in themselves, but they cause
the hog to get more out of his other
feed, Just Us good clover pasture causes
the hog to get more out of grain. Tur-
nips and rutabngas may be grown on
the land from which early potatoes or
sweet corn has been removed, or piece
of clover sod may be broken up after
the hay is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence to pour the
slop in the pigs troughs, The fighting
pigs will cause you to spill good part
of the slop, and resting your weight on
your abdomen supported by rail is
not healthful exercise, Pass a trough
through the pen into the other trough.
And if You nail board over the top of
the FIRST trough the pigs cannot stop it
with their noses and waste the slop
when it is poured in
The old-iashionod way Is to dip the
Buckets in the slop barrel, lift them
out with hard, high lift, all dripping
and ovcrlowing with the greasy stuff,
and SO cary them, OF course, the man
that does that gets greasy, dirty
clothes The now way is to set the bar
rel up ON blocks and dish out place
for the bucket to set, and then put a
big faucet in the barrel This way
there is no hard lifting, no buckets
greasy On the outside, no drip or over
flow
A little pains to sun-scald the troughS
If they get sour under cover will pay.
If it be damp and cloudy scald them
out with boiling water and feed few
handfuls of powdered charcoal to cor
