THE NEW MEAT FREEZER.

the bone, so that while there is shell
OF frozen, and, therefore, well-preserved
meat on the outside, the inner portion
near the bones is not frozen. AS the
freezing process goes on this heat is
driven further inward, and this is the
cause of all the trouble. To overcome
this difficulty two New Zealand invent
CTS have devised a method of freezing
the meat from the center so that the
heat is driven outward.
The apparatus consists of hollow
steel shaped like the scabbard of a
sword, But divided internally from the
hilt to near the point by a steel parti-
ton. The brine or other freezing agent
enters this from the supply pipe
through the tube to the hilt of the in
strument, passes up one side to the
point, returns down the other, then
passes out through the second tube to
the exhaust pipe and is returned to the
refrigerator to be recooled. Sometimes
this steel is inserted in the bones them
selves, and so reaches the center of the
meat; and in other cases alongside the
bones. To withdraw the Instrument
the freezing agent is cut off by triple
cock, and warm fluid passed through
In its place, which instantly releases the
adhesion between the blade and the
meat.-Chicago Record.

and we moved forward, and by sunrise
we were fighting, and the unfortunate
officer who had ordered Jim to be placed
under arrest was borne from the field
a corpse after the fight was over. The
affair was forgotten amid the stirring
scenes that followed.
Seeing that the end was near, found
an opportunity to send General to the
rear, and placing him in n cage, started
him on the long journey to the home of
nephew in Georgia. He had not been
long on the farm before he began to
pine and droop, and the family thought
that he was disconsolate on account of
being separated from his comrades.
This might have been all fancy, but
he lived only short time, and when
he died my nephew and the boys of
the neighborhood gave him a regular
military funeral.
Il suppose that his is the only grave
of rooster in Georgia. The tiny stones
that mark his last resting place can
be seen on the old homestead near Dali
ton to-day. On the headstone is rudely
carved the name General with the
date of his death and the names of some
of the most important engagements
through which he passed during our
comradeship among the battlefelds of

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Every farm has place for sheep
that no other stock can fill.
In all farming it is an item to keep
the manure near the surface.
Teach the young horses to walk well
and a good foundation is laid for the
faster gaits,
Thorough grubbng is the surest
way of getting rid of elder, sassafras
and persimmon.
Always keep the pillow sharp, it makes
better work and is easier for both the
team and plowman.
One advantage in using the drill or
seed sower is that the seed will be dis
tributed more evenly.
A light daily feed of oats can nearly
always be given to the weaving colts
at this time with benefit.
When the tools and implements are
stored away be sure that they are
properly cleaned and painted.
The best systems of cropping are in
variably those which call for the
most thorough preparation of the soil
Feeding, watering and grooming
regularly will aid materially in keep
ing the horses in good, thrifty con-
dition.-Farmers' Union.

THE NOTING PERIOD.
Time of the Year When Hens Re-
quire Close Attention.

Time of the Year When Hens Re-
quire Close Attention.
The greatest care must be taken to
keep fowls in good condition during
the noting season. 1t is a drain on
their vital powers to furnish the ma
terial for a full coat of new feathers.
There is apt to be a laXity of attention
to their feeding during this period on
account of their cessation of laying,
when in fact there should be more care
taken. 1t is a good plan to select all
the fowls that it is desired to winter or
keep for breeding, and market the bal
ance. This will cut down the expense
of the melting season. Hens which will
mott early, if they are in good condi-
ton and comfortably housed, will near
~ always make the best winter lay
ers, while the later molters will rarely
lay until spring. These latter should
have place where they can keep warm
and dry, and be given an abundance of
nutritious food.
The period of Noting may be short
ened by careful attention and supply
of food rich in muscle, bone and feath-
er-forming materials rather than fat
making foods. Always provide pure,
fresh water and keep the quarters
clean. Wheat, oats, linseed meal, bone
meal, meat scraps and fresh ground
bones make better food at this time
than corn or anything that may be
considered fattening ration. While
it may not be best to feed the chickens
all they will eat, in nearly all cases lib
eral feeding and the supplying of Il
good variety will be found the most
desirable thing to do. The hens need
to take sufficient exercise to be healthy

ing interest, 1t contains a unique col.
lection of manuscripts and of original
scores by the composer. Many of these
show the corrections, two or three
times made in some instances, in the
nervous, grabbed writing of Beethoven,
There are some among them that were
written after he had become deaf, and
as the deafness increased-the dates
bring that out plainly-the corrections,
too, increased. Besides, there are hun.
dreds of letters from him and to him,
letters written when boy, a youth, a
young man and soured, cynical old
man. These letters alone tell the whole
story of Beethoven's life, of his lonely.

nephews and friends. But there is also

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in

played, and his musical education was
begun by his father, and continued by
the court organist who introduced him
to the works of Sebastian Bach and
Handel. He soon attempted compost.
ton, and showed wonderful facility in
improvisation. About 1890 he settled
in Vienna, where Mozart quickly recog
nized his marvellous powers. When
about 40 years of age he was attacked
with deafness, which became total, and
lasted through life. He became, gradu.
ally, the victim of morbid irritability,
and hopeless melancholia, ending in
confirmed hypochondria, and, finally
dropsy and delirium. He continued to
compose, however, long after he had
ceased to hear himself play, and re.
ceived homage and honors from all
parts of Europe. He died, unmarried,

Df more than ordinary importance is
the fact that Beethoven first saw there
Che light of day. And, to commemorate
Beethoven's claims to immortality, the
whole population of Bonn has joined for
many years.
Every summer or late spring there is
a music festival at Bonn, occupying
about a week, during whose continu-
ance nothing but Beethoven compost
tons are rendered by the most re-
nowned instrumentalists, vocalists and
orchestras. A large chorus of male and
female voices is trained for the purpose
of taking part in these musical fetes
and this chorus is made up of the most
distinguished people of Bonn. The
compositions chosen for the occasion
are, as a matter of course, among the
finest and their manner of rendition
has become, in the course of time, SO
perfect as to outvie anything elsewhere.
This year, a couple of weeks ago, the
NeOnore symphony, for instance. was
played with such exquisite skill and
finish, and the participants were all
such masters of their instruments, that
from all over Germany the lovers of
pure music went as to u pilgrimage,
masch as is done to the Wagner perform
ances in Bayreuth.

ances there is a Beethoven Memorial So

There was more than one deeply in

some new question to ask the lad. Child

hospital, where it was common for men
to feel that they could not die unless
they listened to a hymn or prayer.

Why the Bee Moth Should BE Fought
with Utmost ViSOr.
Bees are capable of taking care of
themselves, under ordinary circum-
stances, if the colonies are strong, but
if they become weak in numbers and
the food supply diminished towards
the starvation point, owing to an un-
favorable season, or for any other
causes, the enemies of the little work
ers find access and encroach upon all
that remains. The bee moth is one of
the enemies most to be dreaded These
insects may be seen flying about in the
evening and are attracted by the light
of lamp or candle and may be de-
stroyed to some extent by making a
lighted trap. If not carefully guarded
against, they will deposit their eggs in
favorable conditions about the hives
which soon hatch out brood of worms.
These worms form the pupa or chrysalis
state, by inclosing themselves in a
silky web which may be found about
the empty combs and the joints of the
hives, ready when the time comes to
again change to the butterfly stage of
transformation. These insect enemies
of the bee should be destroyed, if pos
sible, whenever any evidence of their
presence appears,-Farmers' Union.

Genius is honored everywhere. The

The society is made up of the elite
of Bonn, OF the wealthiest and most

chancellor, Bismarck, and the present
one, Hohenlohe, as well as many names
of the highest aristocracy.
Vienna, where Beethoven lies buried
in the largest communal cemetery,
has been rather derelict in its duty OF
taking care Of the remains and Of the
grave. 1t was not many years ago that
the exact burial spot of three great
musicians-Mozart, Haydn, Schubert
had to be determined at the cost Of
much trouble and pains, they beng
also near the grave Of Beethoven, and
II was with some difficulty that
Beethoven's last resting place was dis
covered and suitably cared for. Vienna
has always been careless of its dead,
even of its great dead-there are too
many of them in the Viennese ceme-
teries-and a large and busting city,
with its myriad Of interests and its
numberless cares Of the hour, has al.
ways been rather ungrateful to the
great men who died within its shad-
ows. The smaller towns, whose people
feel personal pride in every point of
interest, are more considerate and more
thoughtful of their dead, as is seen
notably in the case of Weimar and its
tributes in bronze and stone to Schiller
and Goethe, who were denizens Of that
quaint, pleasant town.

cult in Bonn is the memorial museum
