The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-06-21

Tic i'm told OF ex President Ratherferd
B. Hayes that while attending school
aS Kenyon college he was in the habit
oc taking daily walks into the country.
These trips were shared by two init
mate companions, who were Of q fun
loving disposition which frequently
got them into trouble. On one occasion
they more than met their match i'm an
old farmer, whom they met on the
highway. The long white beard Of the
farmer gave him alpatriarchal appear
ance, and while he was approaching
the students they arranged to give him
a ''jollying."
One of them dotted his hat with great
reverence and respect as he said,
"Good morning, Father Abraham"
The second saluted the old farmer
andsaid, Good morning, Father Isaacl'
Mr.. Hayes, not to be outdone in
affability and politeaess, extended his
hand as he said, Good morning, Faith
er JacobI|
Ignoring the o~utstretched hand Of
Mr.. Hayes, the old farmer replied,
Gentlemen, you are mistaken in the
man. I am neither Abraham, Isaac
nor Jacob, but Saul the son Of Kish,
who. was sent out TO seek his fathers
asses, and lol I have found them

SIX POINTS IN GOOD DAIRYrNe.

First.-A good farm, producing good
hay and grain crops, and having good
pasturage; the last / should say, IL
very important, and in the pasturage
must be good running water.
Second. = Select COWS especially
adapted to the line Of dairying to be
pursued; il for butter, n class-the
butter producing class-if for cheese
making, another class.
Third-Have well arranged, thor
oughly- built and thoroughly ventilated
barns. / would prefer not to have q
cellar under the cattle if that cellar is
to be used for storing the excrement.
A dry cellar is beneficial. I should
much prefer having the excrement run
away from the barn to be stored in 9
water-tight cistern 80 that it would
lose none Of its tertilizing properties,
and still be out from under the barn
roof.
FOURTH would have q silo, and
I'LL it with the best Of the corn crop.
Hubus-A UUbUCE ~ " 10 "hU0S i
would have the most modern appli|
ances, the economical and thorough
centrifugal cream separator, up-to-date
churn, butter worker and printer. I
would secure customers for all my but
ter product, and market it in prints, as
there is always q market at several
cents above the highest quotations for
butter delivered weekly or semi weekly
in prints and packages. Inthis village
of about g. 500 inhabitants, there are s
or 10 dairymen who bring their butter
in this way, and contract it for % cents
per year; what ia done here, can be
done in every manufacturing village
in the country. There are q few who
get more than % cents per pound, get
ting 90 and 80 cents by the year.
Sixth would raise the heifer calves
which can be economically and easily
done il the cream be separated from
the milk while it still retains the ami
NAL heat, and feed the separated milk
at once before it has time to cool.

already too far influenced by those other
people. When I saw her shortly before
she died said to her: Margaret, do you

II did not introduce Margaret to the
Home of Truth" Mrs. Muchmore said.
"She met the matron of the San Francisco
branch at Santa Monica and was intro
duced by her I did not know until few
days before her death where Miss Hull
was, and then I intended to see her on
Sunday. but 1t was too late. 1t is an I'M
fortunate manner of death for such love-
ly girl. She made her home with me for
a long time and was treated by me as a
daughter and had 1 only known of her
whereabouts or condition in time matters
might have been different"
DR.. Gresham. the only physician who at
tended Miss Hull. said: II was called into
the case the Sunday before the girl died.
She was suffering with acute tuberculosis,
or galloping consumption. Anything that
might have done at the critical stage in
which she was in would have been super
luous. 1 Judge from the symptoms that
she contracted the disease from exposure
or severe cold of some kind, which settled
in her chest 1t did not appear to be of
long standing. AS a professional man
will not say whether or not she might have
been cured if attended to in time"

the man got inside, and portion Of a roll
Of leather had also been burned. The
blazing box was thrown out into the street
and soon extinguished.
1t bad at first been thought that the fire
might have been caused by some over
Jealous citizen who had taken that I'M
derhand and criminal way to retaliate
upon Rehwald for his fancied slight to the
nag earlier in the day, but brief investi-
cation does not go to prove such theory.
Rehwald was seen in the saloon opposite
MS shop between 1870 and IL o'clock last
night, and he wore a brown overcoat The
man who was noticed lettering about the
shop is said by several people to have also
worn brown overocat. No one could
positively swear to the identity of the man
who entered the place, and whether the
circumstance Of Rehwald in Motifs saloon
and the man with the same colored over
coat have any bearing on the affair re-
mains to be proved. It is. of course, pos
sible that if Rehwald went into the place
he might have accidentally thrown
match into the box and the material caught
fire after he had locked the door and gone
away.

REHwALD NEARLY BURNED OUT
A Fire Discovered in His Cobbler's
Shop Last Night

There was a sequel to the demonstration
against L. Rehwald, the German cobbler,
and it was of fiery nature. Some one is
thought to have tried to set fire to the little
shop at 205 West Fifth street about 1890
this morning, but fortunately the blaze
was discovered in time and extinguished
before any damage was done.
1t was about that time when member
of the National guard, who was standing
on the northwest corner of Spring and
Fifth streets, called the attention Of p.
W. Hamrick, the hackman, to a man who
was lettering in front of the cobbler's shop.
"Pll bet," said the guardsman, that the
old fellow is there to tear down those
American flags We expected 1t, and l
have been told to keep lookout to guard
against such an act"
The guardsman had to step away for an
instant, and he requested Hamrick to
watch the man across the street. The
hack driver states that he saw the man un-
lock the door to the cobbler shop, enter
and strike a light and leave in very short
time. small light was noticed in the
place after this, but nothing was thought
of the occurrence until young man came
running to Hamrick and told him that
there was fire in Rehwald's shop. Ham
rick and several others hurried across and
found the door locked The window was
opened, and young man got inside and
there discovered that the blaze was In a
