This applies to the feeding of pigs for
pork. Boiled potatoes and barley meal
make the finest favored bacon. The
mast of chestnut and oak forests gives
a peculiar favor to the meat that some
persons think very desirable. Pea-fed
pork is harder than that fed on corn,
while that made from the mast of the
beech or from other oily nuts is soft
and oily and wastes in the cooking.
Milk-fed pork is white. but hard and

buckwheat bran or meal to avoid this
hardness of the lean meat. But the
flesh of pigs fed on clover pasture

mixed oats and peas for four weeks
after leaving the pasture will be found

COULDN'T STAND TIE GAIT.

This good story was told by COM
rade T. B. Catherwood in the course
of an address delivered before the
confederate veterans association at
Savannah, Ca, sometime ago.
It has been supposed that Southern
troops lacked staying qualities, lack
ed bottom, as a horseman would say;
it had been assumed that their failure
to carry victory in their first mad
rush would SO discourage them as to
result in panic; but there was no in
stance during the war when the con-
federate private soldier yielded to
panic, save one, on noted field,
which need not be particularized. 1t
was probably Of that stampede this
story was told.
Flying in wild disorder along the
road, several Alabama, Mississippi
and Georgia regiments became badly
mixed up. The stampede was gener-
al, and the retreat developed into
rivalry as to which should get away
the quickest An Alabama officer,
mounted on a particularly sWlfG
charger, was well on toward the head
of the fugitive host, but every now
and then he would rein up his horse,
wheel around in the road, wave his
sword aloft and cry out:
Men OF Georgia Men Of Alaba
ma Halt, [ say VIII no one stand
by me?
He repeated this every few minutes,
but always made the fastest kind OF
time between halts. At length, when
he was making one OF those frantic
appeals.

from the flying men on foot shouted
back to him:
Yes, gol darn you, we'd all try and
stand by if you wouldn't strike such
