GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Cultivation in the orchard is given to
keep out the weeds and make a loose
mulch.
A little trimming every year is far
better than heavy trimming once in
three or four years.
Walnuts, chestnuts, hickory nuts,
peach seeds and all this kind of seeds
should be planted before they get too
dry.
Be sure to provide good drainage for
fruit trees. They cannot live long or
thrive well where there is super
abundance Of water, especially during
the winter.
Grow some cultivated crops in the or
chard. Small grain crops of any kind
are Objectionable and should never be
allowed to grow close up around the
stem Of the trees.
In storing sweet potatoes for long
keeping dry earth is the best packing
material. Keep them in warm, even
temperature. Pack none but sound
potatoes, or they will surely rot.
When trees are set out in the fall il
will be advisable to draw up a small
mound of earth around the stem. This
helps to hold the tree steady in storms
throws off the surplus water and large
ly prevents injury by field mice.--St
Louis Republic.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The cow likes variety of food; graf
fly her as often as you can.
A good point in dairy cow is to have
the milking habit well established.
An expert says that popular taste
does not require as much salt in butter
as formerly.
Scrub" cows average not more than
100 to 125 pounds of butter per year.
Double this yield.
Smothered milk is term applied to
milk which has been closed in cans be-
fore it has sufficiently aerated.
The contented cow is the only profit
able one. The best cow in the world
will not do her best if discontented.
There are many ways to test the rich
ness of cows milk besides the churn;
every dairyman should have some milk
tester.
When the creams of different cows
arc mixed together great care should be
taken to see that the whole is thorough
ly mixed and ripened.
This is the time of year when cows
teats become cracked and sore. Much
trpuhle may be avoided. bE seeing that

length desired, using two or more
sashes for the top. Such hotbed will
always present an attractive appear
ance, will maintain a more equable
temperature than one of board, and will
always be in readiness to be "fred up"
A hotbed can be made to do more for

for the winter production of many a

MEADE AND HIS MEN.
The Commanders Frank Answer to =
Complaining Doctor.


General Horace Porter relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of General Meade in his
Campaigning With Grant" in the May
Century:
General Meade was most accomplished
officer. He had been thoroughly educated
I'm his profession and had complete
knowledge of both the science and the art
of war in all it's branches. He was well
read, possessed of vast amount of inter
esting information, had cultivated his
mind as a linguist and spoke French with
duency. When foreign officers visited the
front. they were invariably charmed by
their interviews with the commander OF
the Army of the Potomac. He was dis
ciplinarian to the point of severity, was en-
tirely subordinate to his superiors, and no
one was more prompt than he to obey or
ders to the letter In his intercourse with
his officers the bluntness of the soldier was
always conspicuous, and he never took
pains to smooth any ones RULED feelings.
There was an officer serving in the Army
of the Potomac who had formerly been a
surgeon. One day he appeared at Meade
Headquarters in high state of Indignation
| and said: General as / was riding over
here some of the men in the adjoining
|. camps shouted after me and called me
( 'Old pills, and would like to have 1t
STONED" Meade just at that moment was
] not i'm the best possible frame of mind TO
| he approached with such complaint. he
seized hold of the eyeglasses, conspicuous
" large in size, which he always wore,
clapped them astride of his nose with both
/ hands, glarcd through them at the oiicei
! and exclaimed: "Well, what of that'
How can prevent it? Why, hear that
when rode out the other day some OF the
men called me id old google eyed
swapping turtle and ! can't even stoI
that! The officer had to content himself
with this explosive expression of sym
pathetic fellow feeling and to take bis
chances thereafter as to obnoxious epithets

NANSEN'S SLEDGE JOURNEY.
The Arctic Explorers Course In This Par
ticulsr Warmly Defended.

That Nansen did not endeavor to find his
ship, bCt left her In the Ice while he laid
his course homeward, has led certain crit
les To censurc his conduct. General Greedy,
"a renowned arctic explorer, asserts that
Nnnsen "thus deviated from the most "a
cred dusy devolying on the commander OF
IA naval expedition.
Nansen's sledge journey was part OF
his cckoninR. He had provided a second
in command, apparently better trained
navigator than himself, To care for the
ship. At least four other members OF the
crew were by quality and training able to
take charge of the vessel To have retreat
cd toward the Fran would have entailed
certain grave dangers and limited the work
of exploration in an important measure.
Owing to the irregular movements of the
drift, the place of the vessel at the end of
two months, which would have elapsed,
could not have been determined within u
range of 90 or 90 miles. If by chance the
ice had opened, she might have steamed
away on her journey. 1t was useless TO
think of following the trail of the sledges,
for 1t might have been effaced by fall OF
snow.
If Nansen had tried to discover the Fran
and had failed to do so, he would then
have found blmself Win MS proNislohs
nearly gone and his dogs worn out. The
issue showed that in this case he and his
companion would most likely have perish
ed. Moreover, by pushing southwardly he
made long journey across a field that had
never before been traversed and may not
be seen again for centuries. There can be
no valid suspicion that this independent
movement was taken with any idea OF
abandoning the party. The project indeed
had been freely talked over with all his
companions and as freely accepted by
them as the fit thing to do. The idea thai
the crew of the Fran would be in any kino
of danger was not likely to enter the minds
! of these stout fellows. 1t would be quite
as reasonable to accuse a forlorn hope o
deserving the army which it led as 1t would
be to charge Nansen with abandoning hi
ship.-Professor N. S. Shaler in May AT
