I'm one respect Grant" said Colonel
McFal of st. Louis, who served with
him before Vicksburg, was source of
great worriment to the commanding Of
ficers taking part in his councils of
war. This came from his reticence dur
ing the councils and his prompt indi-
vidual action afterward. Grant would
sit and listen to all the others had to
say, smoking his cigar and occasionally
taking drink as this hospitable re-
freshment might be passed around.
Then, when the talk was all over and
everyone had expressed his opinion as
to what should be done, Grant would
leave the tent and go to Rawlins, his
chief of staff, and begin issuing orders.
No one knew to what decision he had
arrived. and they would have no idea
what the next movement was to be UNI
til their orders were received. Espe-
cially to General John A. Logan. who
commanded the division of which nv
regiment was a part after Mcpherson
was killed. was this trait of Grants
trial.
oh it ALL" Logan would say in his
impetuous way, IF Grant would only
give us some idea of what he was think
ing about! But no, he just listens with
out word. and then. when we've told
all we know and think, off he goes to
Rawlins. and that's the last we see or
hear OF him until his orders for the
next movement come to us.'

Granular I:utter,

There seems to be an impression here
and there. says writer in the Practi-
cal Farmer. that what is known as
granular butter can only be made by
the few who possess the know how"
and have purposely constructed ma
chinery. Such is not the case. There
is no make of churn that graduates
butter better than another, if we dis
card the dash churn. The only secret
in the matter Is to stop the churn at
the right stage, and add the water, 50
to harden these little granules of fat
and give the fluids free exit from the
churn. In hot weather the granulation
of butter is all the more important. as
there is the greater need of getting the
buttermilk out of the mass. Summer
butter wants to be churned as cool as
possible, and it is here that the owners
of separators have the advantage. that
they can cream the fresh drawn milk
down to 33 per cent of actual fat, and
churn this cream eXhaustively at 80
degrees, which is the actual crystaliz-
ing stage of butter. and get separation
with little or no washing. BY the Or
binary way VI CllUI Ming, al ABOUT OU
grees, the churn would be stopped as
soon as the cream shows signs of
breaking, and half gallon or so of fair
brine added to the cream. when the
butter will come, and more water is
again added before there is any at
tempt to remove the buttermilk. Then
the butter granules float on the surface
of the "a degree cold water, and one
has granular butter without an effort.
Where the cream from any cause is
very sour. it is good practice to put
quantity of brine into the cream at the
start. and have this act as a sort OF a
solvent Of the casein, and will be a
great help in preventing specks in the
butter. One thing about granular but
ter is its varying content of water, and
no maker can work it down to a uni
formity every time: even experts will
vary as much as FIVE pounds in 100
pounds Of butter. The larger the
granules the less water will be held in
the butter when 1t is packed.

An important order giving full pro
lection to foreign consumers of Ameri-
can meat products was issued by Secre-
tary Morton last week. 1t will prevent
the expectation of any beef that is not
inspected. and will cause the exporters
of horse meat so to mark the packages
that the nature of the contents shall be
apparent. The action is authorized by
an act of March 3. 1891. amended March
z last. Meat which is not so marked
and which is not accompanied by a GER
tificate OF inspection will be classed as
uninspected beef and will not be al
lowed expectation. Secretary Morton
ought to have gone further and required
the labelling Of horse meat foisted on
domestic consumers. Ii a man wants
to eat horse meat he has a right to do
50. bat he ought to know it when he
does.

to an engine and the feed to
the fuel Now. if the engine has
only enough fuel to overcome friction
you get no power. or if you use the
fuel to overcome the friction in two
you lose time and fuel, but if you use
this in one machine you realize a profit.
The same with COW. We are told that
it takes two-thirds of what q COW eats
to sustain the system, one-third to pro-
duce the milk. The less cow has to
travel to get her feed the greater
amount of milk per pound of feed.
l have thought many times when
have seen cows hurried by men, boys
and dogs whether the owner ever con-
sidered the cost.
2. The feed and surroundings.
The cow is like a filter. If you over
tax it by giving poor feed you soon
wear it out; besides producing poor
article of milk, butter and cheese.
l believe the seeds Of poisoned cheese
are sown in letting the COW drink stag
nant water, eat fermented food. or
breathe foul air. This much we do
know, that the best grades of milk pro-
ducts are made where the feed, water
and air are of the purest.
3. The care of milk. 1t is essential
that milk should be we'll aired and
cooled as soon as MIXED to stop the
tainting or decomposing. See that the
udder is we'll cleaned before commenc-
ing to milk. and do not wet your hands
SO they will drip in the pail.
How much milk should COW give?
There are records as high as $4,000
TBS. Of milk per COW in one year. but
the farmer can get dairy which will
average 5000 TBS. per COW. and he will
not see the difference in cost of keeping
between it and one which gives only
1000 or $500 per COW. Old Gairymen
in the east made cheese for 3 and
cents per pound years ago. and the
best OF them say they would not keep
cow which would not make 600 lbs.
of cheese in one season. Now the aver
age at most factories does not exceed
$50. At a factory in northeast Ohio,
at the yearly meeting, The best and the
poorest dairy We're compared, with the
idea Of stimulating the patrons to i'm
prove their diaries and care of them.
The best dairy of II cows had received
from the factory during the year an
average of $50 per COW. while the poor
est one of 10 COWS had received only SCI
per COW.
The dairy well solves the question as
to what to do with our farms. Grain
raising eXhausts the land by always
taking from it and returning nothing
to it, while in raising stock for beef,
we find ourselves in competition with
the west, where it costs but 81 to raise

IincOln's Faith.

At recent banquet in the city of
washington, General Sickles related
the following remarkable anecdote of
: Lincoln:
1t was on the 5th day of July, 1863,
that | was brought to Washington on a
stretcher from the field Of Gettysburg
Hearing OF my arrival, President Lin
coin came to my room and sat down by
my bedside. He asked about the great
battle. and when l told him of the ter
rlble slaughter, the tears streamed from
his eyes. | asked him if he had doubt
ed the result. He said, No. Then he
continued
rms may seem strange to you, but
rev days ago, when the opposing
armies were converging, l felt as never
before my utter helplessness in the
great crisis that was to come upon the
country. | went into my own room
and locked the door. Then l knelt
down and prayed as had never prayed
before. | told God that he had called
me to this position. that had done all
that ! could do. and that the result now
was in his hands; that felt my own
weakness and lack of power, and that
l knew that if the country was to be
saved it was because he willed it..
When went down from my room
1elt that there could be no doubt of the
Issue. The burden seemed to have
rolled Off my shoulders, my intense
anxiety was relieved and in it's place
came great sense of trustfulness, and
that was why I did not doubt the result
at Gettysburg. And, what is more.
Sickles. he continued, L believe that
we may hear at any moment of a great
success by Grant, who has been pegging
away at Nicksburg for so many months.
BY tomorrow you will hear that he has
won victory as important to us in the
west as Gettysburg is in the east
Then, turning to me, he said,
Sickles. am in a prophetic mood to-
day. and know that you will get we'll.
The doctors do not give me that
hope. Mr.. President said, but he an
swered cheerfully, I know you will get
well, Sickles'"

Merits of Houdans.-Wright the well
known English authority, says: '"lth
respect to the merits of Houdans, we
have no hesitation in pronouncing them
one of the most valuable breeds ever
, introduced into this country. We have
! in this breed the size, form and quality
of the Dorking. with earlier maturity.
! The hen is a most prolific layer OF good
sized eggs, which will almost invariably
be found fertile-a point the Dorklng
is very deficient in, as all prize breed
ers know to their cost. The chickens
feather very rapidly and early, but are
nevertheless exceedingly hardy-per-
haps more SO than any except Cochins
and Brahmas-and are therefore easily
reared with little less. They are en-

will yield an ample profit on good feed

their only drawback is their refusal to

The Warrior and His Snuff Uox.

At some maneuvers of the volunteers
in Dumfriesshire, the troops were di-
vided into two parts. an attacking and a
defending force. The former were
posted behind hedge during
SOME skirmishing, when one of
the defenders suddenly burst through
and was Immediately surrounded.

the sergeant.
Il dinna care whether ye're the
enemy OF nae" retorted the intrepid
volunteer, Il hae lost ma snuff-box, and
I'm no gaun back without it,
Amid general laughter the valiant
warrior was allowed to look for ma

he departed in peace-New York

Bcrrienling an Enemy.

IF thine enemy hunger, feed him; II
he thirst, give him drink" is text
which found many a fultillment during
our late war-on both sides. The fol-
lowing example is quoted from the
History of the 106th Pennsylvania
Regiment" and the occurrence took
place after the battle of Fair Oaks.
Such "reminiscences can do nothing but
good.
Captain Ford to take a walk with him
over the field. They had not gone far,
however, before the adjutant said:
Il cannot stand this; it makes me
sick to see such terrible sights"
The dead lay piled on top of each
other just as they had fallen, all man
gled and torn. while the groans of the
wounded and dying were agonizing to
hear.
So the adjutant turned back, but the
captain kept on, and soon came to an
old man sitting up against tree, while
across his Ian lay a yong lad, whose
fine features. pale face and light, way
ing hair would readily have been taken
for young girls.
Addressing the old man the captain
inquired his regiment.
Hampton Legion" he replied.
Being asked where he was wounded,
he unbuttoned his coat and displayed
an ugly wound in his right arm
The captain asked the lad what regi-
ment he belonged to, and he replied.
Hampton Legion"
Then you know each Other?"
Yes, he's my boy" said the old man +:
"he fell. badly wounded in the leg, and
came to help him and was hit myself
l have tied his wound up as we'll as |
can. but We have both lost so much
blood that I'm afraid we can't stand it
much longer
He then told how he had dragged
his boy to the tree. taken off his own
shirt and torn 1t into strips, tied I'D
the wound as we'll as he could, and
then had sat down. with the boys head
in his lap, waiting to be taken to the
hospital
The captain explained that we had
our own wounded to look after first,
and that as soon as possible he would
receive attention.
He then made his way back to the
hospital and related the circumstance
to our surgeon, who gave him a s:imu-
liant to take to them. Thence he went
to the pump: but here a guard was
placed to prevent any but surgeons and
nurses from taking water. At first
they would not let Captain Ford have
any, but he said:

Feeding Layers.

We have satisfied ourselves that hens
may be fed too much, to be good layers.
and that they may be fed in such
manner that they will not want to sit.
A hen that is poor never wants TO SIT.
and if she is kept in laying condition
she will not get the sitting fever at all,
or if at all. not until late in the season.
We have tried feeding Brown Leghorns
all they would eat, while confined, and
it i6 not hard matter to get them Fat
enough to get in the notion OF clucking,
though they hardly ever sit more than
few days at time unless they arc
or 5 years old. We had pen OF Light
Brahmas which we prevented from sit
ting at all until some of them were two
years old by feeding them carefully,
and we must say they were fine layers
all the time. They were not as profit
able of course as our Leghorns. because
they ate more and Gid not lay as WELL
but they We're non-sitters while VIC fed
them for the purpose of keeping them
from sitting. They got but very little
corn, but had all the milk they wanted,
and were lightly fed on wheat screen
ings. oat meal, bran and shorts, ard
other muscle making food. We have
been very much interested in a flock Of
Plymouth Rocks for the last year. the
owner of which has taken great care
to feed them properly, and has kept
strict account Of the feed they con-
sumed, and the eggs they produced.
When the year is finished, we shall give
a full account of the amount of profit
realized from them in a year. This
flock has been fed for eggs. but with
out trying to prevent them from sit
ting, as the owner wanted to raise
chicks, and had done SO. We think the
showing will be such one. as will put
to shame the man who claims that
poultry does not pay. The care has
been only such as any farmer or viii
lager could give flock, and there has
been nc attempt at fancy or costly ex-
periments. The flock is kept for the
money there is in them. and the results
will be valuable to all who want to
know what can be done with only good
care and common sense.-Farm News.

At bloody Angle.

John d. Black, now of Valley City,
North Dakota, and an aide to Genera!
Miles during the war. says that in the
Bloody Angle in the Wilderness he felt
a bullet strike him in the side, but as it
didn't hurt him very much he kept
right on with his duties for a few min
utes. Soon he felt something trickling
down his leg. and he began to grow
faint from loss OF blood. He dsmount-
ed as soon as possible. pulled up his
trouser leg and found black stream
oozing through his underwear into
his boot. The bullet had broken an
old wooden bottle of ink and glanced
off without doing further injury. Com
rade Black survivide and afterwards

of Dakota. He always was the bes.

Mules.

The Southern Farm in speaking of
the growing of mules and their value
for plantation work says that good
teams of voting mules can be made to
do considerable work for from IS
months to two years, just at a time
when they will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, bring the best prices. With
good care. mules can be broken and
worked easier than horses, and farmers
who cannot keep several teams profit
ably at work all the time, and yet find
it necessary to keep several, will find
1t will pay to keep two or three mares,
the number to be proportional to the
number of teams considered necessary
to keep up with the farm work, and
then breed them to a good jack ard
raise good mules. keeping the mares
IN good thrifty condition SO that a
good growth can be secured Then
they can be used for some time on the
farm while they are growing fully SUI
ficient to pay their feed, and at the
same time have them gradually in
creasing in value and selling at an age
when they usually bring the highest
figures. OF course. care must be taken
of them SO that good, thrifty growth
can be secured. Some breeders make
the claim that raising mules can be
done only on scale sufficiently large
to pay the farmers for making extra
good fences in order to keep them con.
fined.
The difference in the cost between
good mules and poor ones is the differ
ence in the cost of service. 1t will
usually cost more for the service of a
real good jack than it will cost for a
poor one, and all other things being
equal, the difference in them is a small
item in comparison with the value of
the mules when they are ready to sell.
II they are fed SO as to be kept grow
Ing steadily, in good. thrifty con-
dition. the cost is the same, or nearly
the same, whether the animal is a
good or poor one, and to secure the
most profit the best must be raised, and
il the best is raised it is very essen
tial to have the mares bred to good
jacks.

Nine. Melba. the prima donna, has

hers to protest against boomers. Rest
assured" she exclaims, that the bicycle
Is simply a pretext. 1t is much less
for motives of convenience than for
more mysterious reasons that the skirt
Is sacrificed to ample trousers" 1t is
a fact also, Nine. Media. that some SLAM
derous females do not wear boomers
from the very fact that they have not
mysterious reasons" enough to war
rant it. 1t is not always modesty, but
sometimes discretion. that prevents the
