DECORATION DAY.
THE GRAVES OF CONFEDERATE DEAD
COVERED WITH FLOWERS.
A Large Crowd IN Attendance--The Speech
of the Day by Hon. Polk Laffoon.

A large crowd attended the cere-
monies at the cemetery Wednesday
evening, the occasion being the OBJ
servance of : onfederate Decoration
Day. Dinner was served by the la.
dies of the Memorial Association at
Moayon's Fall, where numerous Wis
itors, many from Tennessee, were fed,
after which the procession, with many
carriages, marched TO the cemetery,
where the ceremonies attending the
decoration took place. Ned Meri-
wether Bivouac of ex Confederates,
had the ceremonies in charge. Many
veterans from elsewhere were present
and took part in the exercises.
A band OF music led the way to the
cemetery and the veterans followed
on foot. The graves of lOl unknown
soldiers, buried under the Latham
monument, were decorated with flow
ers and detail WAS appointed to dec
crate the graves of soldiers in other
parts of the cemetery.
Capt. G. D. Bell was master of
ceremonies and introduced Hon. Polk
Latfoon as the orator of the day. His
address was eloquent, patriotic and
appropriate. At it's conclusion Miss
Hattie Lee Johnston, the young au-
thoress, recited the following poem
from Father Ryan, in a very happy
and graceful manner:
Let our dead together sleep.
Gather the sacred dust
OF the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag our nations trust,
And died for me and you.
Wherever the brave have died.
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled side by SIDE
Why should the hand Of death divide
single heart from heart?
Gather them each and all
From The private to the chief.
Cmae they from cabin or lordly hall,
Over their dust let the fresh tears fal!,
OF nations holy grief:
NOmatter whence they came,
Dear is their lifeless clay
Whether unknown or known ia fame
Their cause and country were the same
They died--and wore the gray.
Gather the corpses strewn
Ger msny a battle plain;
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name and without a stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
And the dead shall meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep;
For the men who Lee and Stonewall led,
And the hearts that once together bled
Should now together sleep.
The ceremonies concluded with
some stirring selections of music.

DAIRY NOTES.

Milking COWS should be practiced
according to the following prescrip-
tions:
l. Work rapidly; slowness causes
loss Of cream.
2. Milk thoroughly, tc the last drop,
because the last milk is the best.
8. Milk ct the same time every day.
4. Milk crosswise, that is to say,
one fore teat on the right and hind
test on the left and vice versa; tho
milk thus flows more copiously than
by parallel milking.
8. Milk with four fingers and not
with index and thumb, q fault toe
common with mixers. -~
6. Do not employ any kind of milk.
ing machine. -~
Z. To milk young, restive COWS,
raise one of the fore feet. Never strike
them.
8. Always keep the hands clean,
and also the cows udder and dairy
utensils.
8. During the milking avoid dis
tracing OF disturbing the COW.
Those who neglect any of these pre-.
scrlptions infallibly lose milk.
One of the regulations of the Illinois
State Board of Health is that dairy
COWS shall be cleaned every day.
The best farm institutes are held in
the dairy sections. That speaks we'll
for the intelligence of the dairymen.
Thirty-two States in the Union now
have laws prohibiting the sale of oleo-
margarine when colored in imitation
of butter.
New York City consumes over three
fourths of million quarts of milk per
day. Last year the daily average was
76S, $50 quarts.
Good feeding should not be gov
erned by the price of dairy products.
Neither should the enthusiasm of the
dairyInen fuctate with the market.
Constancy is needed in both cases.
The makers of oleomargarine claim
that they have as much right to color
product as have butter makers. This
is all fallacy, for butter is not colored
in imitation of any other product.
Considerable excitement has been
caused in Ohio by the enforcement OF
the ELECTROMAGNETIC law. The men
engaged in tho sale of that product
have been arrested and fined, but still
continue to transgress the law.
An unfailing test of an easy mixer
is fiat ends in the teats. Cows having
fiat-ended teats milk easy, the outlet
being large; those having pointed ends
to their teats milk hard, because the
outlet is small, and much squeezing il
done to force out the milk.
Don't hire ut any price q man who
has bad temIAr; he will ruin you
COWS. Don't hire one who is not {
good milker; he will dry off YOU
COWS. Don't employ man or bo!
who is not willing TO learn or carry
outyour instructions. kansas Farmer

SWEET CORN FODDER.

Walker McKeen, Secretary OF Maine
State Board OF Agriculture, says:
"Preyious to having O silo we fed
quite largo quantities of sweet corn
fodder cured, with excellent results.
The lest way TO manage this after it is
cut is to shock carefully and allow it
to dry thoroughly, then dray to the
barn and pack, preferably in bay, in
alternate layers with oats, wheat or
barley straw. Make each layer not
more than one foot thick. The straw
takes mp the moisture, prevents mold
ing, and is made better for feed by
contact with the corn fodder. We
never packed corn with ears on in this
way, but see no reason why it would
not work equally we'll; the only objec-
tion we can think of would be the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed from every day with
plenty Of oats about the premises, we
should not fear much damage from
this source. II you do not care to try
this plan, stand as closely as you can
in some sheltered place, being sure to
have it placed in such manner that il
will remain standing. When feeding,
if you have large proportion of corn,
you will probably get better results by
cutting or shredding before feeding.
If you have but a small proportion
you will have no trouble in feeding il
by using small amount each day
along with other folders. Animals vii
do well on this fodder. One of the
finest and largest herds 1 know of KEEP
for selling milk in city is fed largely
in winter on this dried corn with ear,
on, their owner using n large cuttei
and two-horse power, cutting week.
feed ahead aud allowing it to hea
slightly. For our own use, however
we should prefer the silo, es there viii
be a saving of labor and succulen
food"
