BURNED A G, A. II. UNIFORM.

BIrlnin CHAM, Ala, April 24.--Grand
Army circles are greatly stirred up over
the burning in effgy at Moulton last
night Of a prominent veteran. Moulton
is the county seat of Lawrence county,
The single county in Alabama which is
dominated by Republican population.
The contest for postmastership at Moul-
ton has consequently been heated. Among
the applicants was III. J. Remington, a
Northern-born Republican and member
of the Grand Army, against whom bit
ter fight was directed, as his friends as
sert, because he is "a Yankee"
1t was finally agree to settle the mat
ter, so far as the candidates themselves
were concerned, by primary election
in which only Republicans were to take
part in. The election occurred yesterday,
and Remington was defeated after an
aggressive campaign. Last night in the
glorification over the result, he was burn
ed in effigy in the public square. The
straw man, supposed to represent Rem
! ington. wore what purported to be q
! Grand Army uniform, which fact has
| aroused widespread indignation ainonf

said will publicly denounce the indlgnity

Mr.. Charles B. Root, of Raleigh, was
the donor, and the. picture is q b yea

with the Senators and other prominent
personages present. The Senate cham
Der at the time, OF, the picture was the
room now used by the United States SUI
preme Court, the only change that has
been made being the removal of the
gallery. The engraving is an excellent
niece of work, the individual pictures of
the Senators portraying the truest like
ness. The engraving is highly appre-
ciated by the Society and students gen.
orally. and great crowds congregated
about it to-day to see the faces OF the
distinguished statesmen of years ago.
The official programme for commence

there will be the annual Alumni banquet
at which Col. Thomas S. lKenan, presi-
dent OF the University Alumni Associa-
tom, will preside.
DR.. Battle on yesterday delivered the
annual address at the closing exercises
of Damascus High School near here. His
address was elegant in its style and the
forcible Illustrations Of the Professor of
History impressed his words on the
minds of the great audience present.
The baseball team left this afternoon
for Charlottesville, Va, where, on Mon
day, they play the second game of the
series with the University of Virginia.
If Virginia wins this game and Georgia
docs not force them into a game they
will be the champions of the South.
However. Carolina stands a good S.
to win in Charlottesville. Pat Stanley
has gone back to his old position at short
STOP and Belden is playing second base.
The team is in better condition than at
the first Virginia game, Notwithstanding
the fact that several men have sore
hands that are giving them great trouble.
Last years team had a record hard to
beat, and this years team have lacked
much in coming up to the standard set
for them.
The Tar-Heels here, up to date, played
twelve games, scoring 90 runs against
102 runs by opponents. Out of the II
games they have played one tie game,
lost seven and won only four Though it
is true that they have won four, these
with the exception of the Lafayette
games. were nothing but schools and col
leges of the State, Oak Ridge and Wake
Forest, the former was defeated by the
Varsity by score of 10 to O, and the
latter by score of Z to 2. the score up
to date stands as follows.

Young Trees Are Best.


The question is often asked: "Will
not the continued planting Of peach
trees ruin the business?' Experts say
no. There are" says Central States
Fruit Grower, natural limitations on
the industry that will prevent this.
They are the extreme winters, frosts,
yellOws, lack of cultivation, failure to
thin fruit, by which the tree oyerpro-
duces, poor fruit, and last, a fact not
sufficiently known, viz: that the prof
liable crops are the first seven. 1t is
better after a tree has borne seven
annual crops to remove it, as business
investment, putting a new tree in it's
place, rather than allow ii to occupy
the ground on plant tree in some other
place and use this ground for other
things. A good many growers will
agree with this statement, but the best
fruit is from young trees, and the best
gets the money. It is not disputed that
the trees will continue to bear after the
first seven years, and many times with
profit, but if you are in business for
gain year in and year out, the above
holds gOOd.'

Early Radishes.

Soak some good radish seed in water
for twenty-four hours; then put in a bag
and expose to the sun. In the course Of
a day termination will commence. The
seed must be sowed in well-manured
hot-bed. and watered from time to time
with luke-warm water. By this treat
ment the radishes will in very short
time acquire a sufficient bulk and be
good to eat If you wish good radishes
in winter, during severe cold, an old
cask should be sawn in two, and one
half of it filled with good earth. The
radish seed, beginning to shoot as be-
fore, may be then sown. and the other
half of the barrel put on top of the full
one, and the whole of the apparatus car
ried into the cellar For watering, luke
warm water should be used as before.
In the course of five or six days the
radishes will be ready to eat.-Rural

Measurements.

Multiply helength, breadth and depth
in feet. and that product by four; cut
off the right hand figure, and those at
the left express the number of bushels
of corn if the ears were Shelled. Add
one-half of this amount and you will
have about the quantity Of bushels Of

ure pile of wood, multiply the length
by the width, and that product by the
height, which will give the number of
cubic feet. Divide the product by 1923
and the quotient will be the number of
cords. A standard cord Of wood, it
must be remembered, is four feet thick,
that is, the wood must be four feet long.
Farmers usually go by surface measure,
calling pile of stove wood eight feet
long and four feet high a cord. Under
such circumstances thirty-two feet

Notes on Hog Cholera.

1t is almost impossible to cure hogs
after they are once sick. The only way
to be successful is to secure a stock of
hogs which are thoroughly vigorous
and healthy. To do this avoid breeding
young, immature stock, and do not prac-
tice close inbreeding. Feed healthful
foods and give a variety. Always have
the water pure. Infection is carried
more largely by water than by any
other method. Give plenty Of salt,
ashes, rotten wood, broken tile, mortar,
soft coal, etc. Have these where the
hogs can get at them at any time. Feed
aples, pumpkins and the like, whenever
they are obtainable. Ii disease should
break out among the animals, take
away the we'll ones and put them into a
lot that has never been occupied by
hogs. Disinfect the quarters of the dis
eased pigs and give extra care and at
tentiOn.

Milking Machines.

An authority says that it is mis-
take to say that the tubes Of milking
machines cannot be kept clean. The
machine / was familiar with could be
fitted up to milk the two hundred-coW
dairy in five minutes, instead Of over
six hours, and there is no difficulty in
keeping everything about it sweet. 1t
is also complete manipulation. The
calf's bunting is thoroughly initiated.
1t is so simple that a boy or girl Of fif-
teen could work it. It is manufactured
in Scotland, and is a decided success.
Every large dairy should have one, as
it saves the cost of itself in a short time.
The milk keeps longer, as it does not
get contaminated with bacteria, being
in an alright bucket. It can be car
ried and cooled over the refrigerator
ready for shipment inside of an nour
for the whole performance.-New York

Stray Hints.

The pail Of water that has stood in
the kitchen over night has absorbed all
the impurities and doors Of the atmos-
Dhe~e. Don't use it for the morning
coffee or tea, but have a fresh pailful
drawn.
If you have no fresh eggs, you can
make icing for a cake by taking gill
of sweet cream, favoring it with lemon
or vanilla, and then stirring in enough
powdered sugar to make 1t thlck
enough to spread easily.
Next summer, when the clover is in
full bloom, gather q large quantity of
the heads. Dry them in paper bags III
a dry, cool room, and use them Tor
clover pillows. A brown or ecru linen
embroidered in clover design makes a
pretty cover for such pillows.
Starch has good deal to do with
ones success i'll doing fine laundry
work. It should not be too thick. or
there will be hard, white, shining spots
on the garment when it is ironed; about
the thickness Of ordinary gravy is right.
It should boil at least seven minutes
after being made, to prevent it from
being sticky. Anything requiring extra
stiffness such as cuffs, collars, and shirt
bosoms. should be dipped in hot starch,
thoroughly dried, and then dipped in
cold starch. Freezing takes out the
starch, and in winter starcheG clothes
must be dried indoors.

CHAPTER IL
A maid so sweet that her mere sight mad
glad men SorroWing

A maid so sweet that her mere sight made
glad men sorrowing.
Nevertheless the man in the bush
doesn't get her,,
Time has run on a little bit since the
professor suffered many agonies on GER
tain raw February morning, and now 1t
is the Both of May, and glorious fin
ish, too, to that sweet month.
Even into this dingy old room, where
at a dingy old table the professor sits
of manuscript, knee-deep, scattered
around him, the warm, glad sun is steal
ing; here and there, the little rays are
darling, lighting up a dusty corner here,
a hidden heap of books there. It is,
as yet, early in the afternoon, and the
riotous beams, who are no respect
err of persons, and who honor
the righteous and the ungodly alike, are
playing merrily in this somber chamber,
given so entirely up to science and its
prOsy ways, daring even now to dance
lightly CD the professors head, which
has begun to grow a little bald.
The golden sun, in splendor likest heav' n.
is proving perhaps little too much for
the tired brain in the small room. Either
that, or the incessant noises in the street
outside, which have now been enriched
by the strains of a broken-down street
piano, causes him to lay aside his pen
and lean back in weary attitude III his
chair.
What a day it is! How warm! An
hour ago he had delivered a brilliant
lecture on the everlasting Mammoth Ca
fresh specimen just arrived from ST.
beria), and is now paying the penalty of
greatness. He had done well-he knew
that-he had been interesting, that sur
est road to public favor-he had been
applauded to the echo; and now, worn
out, tired in mind and body, he is living
over again his honest joy in his success.
In this life, however, it is not given us
to be happy for long. A knock at the
professors door brings him back to the
present, and the knowledge that the
landlady-a stout, somewhat erratic per-
son of fifty-is standing on his threshold,
a letter in her hand.
''For you, me dear" says she, very
kindly, handing the letter to the pro
fessor.
She is perhaps the one person Of his
acquaintance who has been able to see
through the professors gravity and ind
him young.
''Thank you," says he. He takes the
letter indifferently, opens it languldly,
and-well, there isn't much langour after
the perusal of it.
The professor sits up; literally this
time slang is unknown to him: and re-
reads it. That girl has come! There
can't be any doubt of it. He had almost
forgotten her existence during these
past tranquil months. when no word or
hint about her reached him, but row,
here she is at last, descending upon him
like a whirlwind..

Twelve tablespoonfuls dry material
equal one cupful.
Two cupfuls equal one pint.
Four cupfuls equal one quart.
Four cupfuls of -four equal one quart

Two cupfuls graduated sugar equal
one pound.
Two and one-half cupfuls powdered
sugar equal one pound.
One pint milk or water equals one
pound.
One dozen eggs should weigh enc and
one-half pounds.
Skim milk is heavier than Whole milk
and cream is lighter than either, while
pure milk is 3 per cent. heavier than
water
The following table Of proportions is
also valuable. Use:
One teaspoonful of soda to one cup
full of molasses.
Three teaspoonfuls baking powder to
one quart -four.
One-half cupful yeast or one-quarter
cake compressed yeast to one pint
liquid.
One teaspoonful extract to one loaf

One teaspoonful salt to two quarts
-four.
One teaspoonful salt to one quart
soup.
One scant cupful of liquid to two full
cupfuls of flour for bread.
One scant cupful of liquid to two full
cupfuls of flour for mullins.
One scant cupful of liquid to one full

One quart water to each pound Of
meat and bone for soup stock.
Four peppercorns, four cloves, one
teaspoonful mixed herbs for each quart
of water for soup stock.

Dairy Dots,

A really good dairy cow can DE prof
itably kept until she is eight years old.
Don't allow your cows, young cattle
or sheep to be pinched III their feed dur
ing the winter.
Do not expect a good milk cow to be-
come beef fat while she is yielding y
good flow of milk.
AS a rule, a profitab BILE cow is a good
eater, but some cows have eyes larger
than their Stomachs, like some men.
Cows kept in comfortable quarters in
winter eat less, thrive better, and give
more milk than if exposed TO cold or
storm.
While it is best to keep water where
this cannot be done conveniently, the
hest plan is TO see that they have all the
n,1,e. fresh water they will drink regu-
larly twice day.
The COW likes regularity, and when
the regular routine of her life is dis
rurbed she resents it by giving less
milk. She is not very particular
whether she has three meals a day or
two but she wants what she does have
regularly.
Those who have had much experience
know that there is a great difference in
salts. A sample should always be
thoroughly tried before buying large
quantities, no matter what inducement
may be offered. If it does not suit it is
not wanted at any price.

40 pounds. The crane, or basket and
hook holder, rotates, or may be shifted
to either side of the operator; will sup
port 80 pounds of fruit in basket with
ease, and the legs all fold in when re-

stand, and at the same time increase
the facilities of the operator in picking
fruit, pruning trees, ETC., giving him the
full use of both hands and placing the
basket within easy reach of the same,
thereby saving time in Transporting the
fruit from the tree to the basket. The
fruit can also be handled with less dam

Nut sandwiches are excellent served
