liable Ring.
When the batteries of Ingear were
taken the first soldier wha entered. per-
ceiving a Russian colonel lying dead
upon the ground, pluc1ed off his gloves
and appropriated d valuable diamond
ring which was upon his finger. Know
ing, however, that il would be inpossi-
ble very long to keep secret the posses
sion Of so valuable a prize, he showed his
usbashi, or captain, his treasure and re-
quested permission to keep it.
The usbashi told the man that he was
quite right to bring the prize to him.
and that henceforth it should be trans
ferred to the finger of the said usbashi.
The soldier, not satisfied with this ar
fangement, referred the matter to the
bimbashi, or major, who said that both
he and the usbashi were highly eu1pab1e

superior officer, and that he wautu
therefore relieve them of the subject of

ABOUT eRItsE Sailing.
The Practice Largely Avoids the Risl
of Overwhelming.

The Practice Largely Avoids the Risk
of Overwhelming.
There are at least two advantages in
brine sailing of buttSE in preference to
dry sailing, one is that there is little OF
no danger of oversalting, and the other
is that the risk of overworking is large
" avoided. Rather more salt will be
needed by brine sailing than by dry
sailing. Use quite strong brine and let
the butter remain in the brine for some
time, half an hour at least. No more
salt will enter the globules of butter
than is needed and the overpius can be
readily drained off. Very little work
ing is needed; in fact, only the amount
necessary to work into proper shape
to send to market will be necessary, and
this avoids the necessity or risk of
working the butter into salvy condi-
ton in order to get the salt distributed
through the butter evenly. By this.
plan there will be no streaks to work
ont, time and labor is saved in handling
and getting the butter ready for mar
ket, while there is little or no risk of the
grain of the butter being ruined. A
good per cent. of the butter sent to mar
ket is seriously injured by too much
working, first to get the buttermilk out
and to get the salt in. Working the but
termilk out and brine sailing largely
does away with this, and secures bet
ter quality of product--Grange Bull.

FARM AND GARDEN.
convlcT-MAoE ROADS.

A Letter from r.. w. McCInughry,
Warden of Joliet Penitentiary.
What might be practical in one state
would prove entirely impractical in
another. The roads of Illinois are dirt
roads. They are easily repaired, and
as easily damaged by rains or heavy
teaming. We Will never have satisfac-
tory roads in this state until we spend
vast amounts of money in macadamiz-
ing or paving them. In our large cities.
the work of macadamizing is done large
IL by the use of machinery, and this ma
chine must be handled by men well
trained in its operation To place our
prisoners upon Illinois roads during the
short time of the year in which they
could work at such labor, to feed, clothe
and guard them would. in my opinion,
be far greater expense than any coun-
ty in which they worked would care to
incur Especially when the most they
could do would be to repair the roads
without permanently improving them.
l1f we were to take the stone in this
vicinity and break it for use upon the
highways for macadamizing, no county
could afford to pay the freight on the
stone 20 miles from the prison, even
though it cost nothing for breaking and
loading.
The most serious objection to>working
prisoners upon the highways is the
moral effect upon the community. The
people of Georgia, some years ago, drove
the prison gangs back to the prison at
the muzzle of the shotgun. The specta-
Gle of chained gangs working upon our
roads, followed by the horde of disrep-
utable people who make up the camp
followers of such an army, would be
entirely too repulsive for any civilized
community.
Bills have been introduced in our leg
islature looking to the employment OF
convicts upon the roads, or in manufac-
turing material for building roads, but,
so far, no practical measure has come
TO light. Prisoners in some localities
might be profitably employed in manu-
featuring a suitable paving brick for
use on streets and roads, if free labor
could be induced to handle them, but
SO far organized labor has refused to
handle building and paving material
by convict laaar.
A perussil of the above will indicate
that nay views in brief, are against the
employment Of convict labor on public
roads. Personally would be glad to
see prisoners employed in any way
which would least conflict with outside
labor, bat do not care to have the peace
and quiet of my home disturbed by the
prison gangs. attended with the horde
of friends and allies of the prisoners
who seek their release. 1t seems to me
that the only proper place for the pris
eners is within the prison walls.-Good
Roads,

IN DREAMS.

In dreams revisit the scenes of my youth.
When friendship meant friendship. and
truth meant truth
When hearts We're wide open. and knowing
no guile,
And life flowed as broad and as deep as the
Nile;
When Johnny" and Charlie and '.Rilly'
iToed the mark like brave fellows. and act
ed like men,
And would look in your face in the morn or
the night
With eyes that were truthful and kindly
and bright.
And there was sweet Katie" the pride of
them all:
And Jennie so graceful, SO stately and
With voice like an angel. OF twitter of
birds,
Whose soul was forever expressed in her
words.
Sweet Fannie" the registering, frolcsome
girl,
Kept hearts in a flutter and life in
whirl,
While her songs in the school room and
laugh on the stairs
Could Danish all sorrow and scatter dull
cares;
And her waltz in the ballroom attracted ali
eyes,
Like stars that glowing in bright sum-
mer skies.
What millions I'd give to live once again
In the light of her eyes, and stroll down
AS we did when our life and our love were
so lucky,
When we kissed in the moonlight of dear
old Kentucky.
But the years that are fed shall never
again
Fiji my heart with pure pleasure, sorrow
or pain
= Yet my soul now awakes like magical
song.
Or the notes of a lutte that our hearts loved
so long
That sounds DER the years like a SYM
phonic strain,
And never on earth shall enchant me
again

CONCLUSION OF CREAM IN5CHURN.
fail to get the proper conclusion, and
sometimes the cream swells enough to
almost or quite fill the churn, when, of
course, there is little or no concus-
sion, and then comes the oft-repeated
complaint of difficult churning-"
Leave room to get proper concussion.
A churn too small will waste enough
butter in a short time to buy a larger
one.
l. In Fig the shows the extreme
height the cream should reach in the
barrel churn. If filed up to B there
is not room for proper conclusion and
the cream will often swell so as to near
ly fill the barrel. Quick churning leaves
more or less fat g1obules in the cream.
More time would bring them together
more uniformly. Thirty minutes is
quick enough when conditions are all
right. =
Fig. is the old-fashioned wooden
dash churn. If you use this kind have
three-quarter-inch hole at the bottom,
as shown, to draw off the buttermilk
and washing water. When the butter
reaches the granular stage set the
