THE PICKET GUARD.


San quiet along the Potomac" they say,
"1Gxcept now and then stray picket
Is shot, as he walks on his beat, to and fro,
by rneman hid In the thicket.
TTls nothIng private or two, now and
then,
WIN not count in the news OF the battle;
Not an officer lost--only one OF the men,
Moaning out all alone, the death rattle"
All quiet elong the Potomac tonight
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dream
Ing:
Their tents in the rays OF the clear autumn
moon,
Or the light Of the watch-nrcs cleaning,
A tremulous sigh as the gentle night-wind
Through the forest leaves softly Is creep
ing;
While stars up above with their gllttering
eyes,
Keep guard-for the army Is sleeping.
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's
As he tramps from the rock to the foun-
And ne thinks Of the two In the low trundle-
bed.
Far away IN the cot on the mountain
Hts muslset falls slack; his face, dark and
grim,
Grows gentle with memories tenuer,
AB he mutters a prayer for the children
asleep,
For their mother-may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems to shine just as brightly as
then,
That night when the love yet unspoken
Leaped up to his llps--when low, muir
INJURED vows
Were pledged to be ever unbroken.

And gathers his gun closer up to its place,
AS If to Keep down the heart-swelling.
Tie passes the fountain, the blasted pine
tree
The footstep Is tagging and weary;
Yet onward no goes, through the broad belt
OF llEht,
Toward the shades Of the forest 80 dreary,
Hark! Was It the night wind that rustled
the leaves?
Was Il moonlight 80 wondrously flashing?
1t looked like a rifle: Ma! Mary, good
by!"
And the lre-blood is ebblng and splash
ing,
All quiet along the Potomac tonight
No sound save the rush Of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face of the
dead
The pickets Off duty forever.

is simply to collec. the bottles promis-
cuously, get them all into a tub Of
soaped water of some character, wash
one bottle after another with the same
brush, put them in rinse water all to-
gethcr, then into the cases, and put the
dirty covers down, leaving the bottles
open and giving opportunity for the
dust and dirt from the covers or bot
toms Of the old cases to drop into the
bottles.
With just a little more trouble and
with but very slight expense the bot
Ties can be so handled that there need
be no trouble whatever from any of
the objections offered in the line of the
bottles being possible carriers of dis
ease germs. Every dairy, no matter
how small, is incomplete without the
use Of steam, and when n dairy is
equipped with this it is but little more
expense to have n sterilizer built. This
need be only a simple wooden struc-
ture, and be made to suit the space at
hand. 1t can be so arranged that, as
the bottles are brought in, they can i'm
mediately be put in the steriliZer, care
having been taken that the bottles have
been carefully rinsed at the places
where they have been collected, by the
customers. After the bottles have been
steriized they can then be washed in
the alkaline hot water and then rinsed
IN two other waters, great care being
taken in the last rinse water used; this
should be frequently changed.
After the bottles are Iirsed they
should again be placed in the steriize.
and subsequently aired and summed just
as milk cans are treated. A system by
which the dust is kept out and the air
allowed to circulate freely is by the
use Of a rack as shown in the cut This
bottle rack may be so made that it can
be run right into the sterlizer; thence
the bottles can be easily put in good
circulating air and then brought to the
most convenient place for filing. This
rack may be made to hold 400 bottles,
or less or more if necessary, With
these precautions the possibility of CON
veying disease through the medium of
the bottles is very slight, and the dairy
man will find that the increased con-
fidence placed in him by his customers
will help his trade materially.-Rural

A WAR DUEL.
An Exciting incident of the Dnttls
of AppOmnttOA Court-House
"A DrnVe Man.

long pistol range Of a section OF a bat

out from another piece of woods about
200 yards IN its rear, and was pour

FIRST SOUTHERN TORPEDO.
1t Was Used by Confederate Otiicer
In the James River After the
battle of Seven Pines.

The story of the first torpedo, which
was invented and used by Gen. Gabriel
Rains during the war with the Seminole
Indians, April, 1910, ended in the fight
ing of 16 soldiers (who had gone with
Capt. Rains to investigate the cause OF
the eXplosion) with some 100 or more
Indians, and among the casualties the
wounding of the captain and his being
carried to Fort King in the arms Of his
men. Another and second torpedo had
been previously placed at the post by
him, and soon after the fight 1000 or
more troops were collected there, and II
became such dread to the whole army
that soldier guard was put over il
until Capt. Rains was able to go and
take it up.
Suppose, said one officer to another
high in rank, that the captain had died
of his wound, what would you have
done?" II thought" said the second
officer, "of firing at it with nine
FOUNDER at a safe distance, and thus
knocking it TO pieces"
The occasion of his first submarine
torpedo was as follows: Soon after the
battle of Seven Pines, Gen. Lee, COM
handing, sent for Gen. Rains and said
TO him: THE enemy have upward Of
100 vessels in the James river, and we
think that. they are about making an
advance that way upon Richmond; and
if there is man in the whole southern
confederacy that can stop them you are
the man. viii you undertake it?'
81 will try" was the answer, and OBJ
serving that ironclads were invulner-
able to cannon of all caliber used, and
were really masters OF rivers and har-
bors, it required submarine inventions
10 checkmate and conquer them, so an
order was issued forthwith putting Gen.
Gabriel Rains in charge of submarine
defenses, and on James river bank, OPP
posite to Drury's bluff, his first sub
marine torpedo was made-the primo
genitor and precursor of all such in
ventions, now world renowned, as civ
ilized nations have each torpedo corps.

at a word from him the guns would
have been trained on me where | sat.
He, too, seemed to appreciate the fact
that it was an individual fight, and
manfully and CALAMITY forebore to call
for aid; so lowering and unlocking my
pistol, l replaced It in my holster, shook
my fist at him, which action he cor
daily reciprocated, and then turning
away l rode back into the woods.
About this time the enemy's artillery
ceased firing, and again rode rapidly
to the edge of the woods, just in time
to see the guns Timber up and retire
down the wood road from which they
had come. The lieutenant in command

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

The English ivy does not harm tree
on which it grows.
See if little less water on irrigated
land will not be better.
Fruit when placed in cold storage
should be firm and hard.
Sprinkling plants with water, when
frost is expected will protect'them.
Pears to be put in cold storage should
be picked before ;hey begin to ripen.
Watermelons ought not TO be grown
on the same ground oftener than three
years.
The grape vine trained to a single
stake has never done its best in our ex-
perence.
Tomatoes are so hardy that they may
be transplanted even after the fruit
begins to set.
If grapes have been planted too close
ly and become too thick, better take
out every other vine.
The man who gives plants of all
kinds plenty of room and herocally
Trims his fruit, will get the best re-
sults.-Western Plowman.

Mo nrIgndIer GcncrnIs.

This story is told in Boston of Col. T.
w. Higginson. He was travelling in the
south few years after the war, and
CHANGED TO fall into talk with an old
farmer, who had engaged number OF
old soldiers to help in the haying. "You
see over there where those four men are
worlIing?" asked the farmer. "Well, all
of EN- fought in the war. One of 'em
was a private, one of 'em was a cor
poraI, one was major, and that man
way over there in the corner was a
colonel" "Are they good men?" asked
Higginson. "Well," said the farmer,
shat private's a flrst-class man, and the
corpoml's pretty good, too" "But how
about the major and the colonel%'
"The majors $685." said the farmer
"But the colonel?" "Well, don't want

A PANTOMIME DRILL.
An Artillery Company's Instruction
ant the Start OF the
Civil War.

One OF the first artillery companies
organized in the west at the beginning
lof the civil war was formed at st. Jo-
,seph, Mo. 1t was known as long as any
lof the organization were left as Coon
,,Tbornton's artillery Thornton was n
humber merchant in the town. He was
Ia Yankee Prior to the war he was
Ciisregarded socially. The community
WAS suspicious of the eastern man, es-
pecially one from New England. But
when he espoused the cause of the
south he became fayorte. When he
organized n company to fight the union
lie was IA hero.
There was not cannon in the town
lwhere the company was organized. 1t
was considered advisable to drill be-
fore going to the front. The only pub
Llic hall in the town was used for this
purpose A local artist who had seen
pictures of cannon chalked out the out
line of one on the floor of the hall. A
man who had been in the Michigan war
land bad a book on tactics was drill
master. The evolutions necessary to
lfamiliarize the company with a
cannon were made about the chalk out
lines. In other words, the drill was a
lpantomime. But the men were as
earnest IN the motions as if they had
a great gun.
From some unknown source there
came a cargo of Roman swords. They
were exact copies of those worn by
Caesars legions, Where they had been
stored and for how long no one knew,
unless it was the donor, and he kept
mis- personality in the background. But
when Coon Thornton's artillery COM
Nany went into camp with the state
guard il went armed with Roman
swords and no cannon. The company
never had a cannon until it went into
the first fight. 1t was attached to the
regiment of a Missouri colonel, who
ordered Thornton to drop a few shells
into a thicket, where federal squad
was seen to go. Thornton said he would
do it if he had the gun. There was a
brass field piece in a wagon in the COM
m;ssary department, and twas brought
out. II was swabbed, rammed and fired
in accordance with the chalk drill, and
did effective work, Coon Thornton's ar
tillery made an effective record dur
ing the war. The Roman swords were
never brought into requisition, how
ever, except when raids were made on
hen roosts or on fugitive porker.-

: MILK BOTTLE RACK.
How 10 DO Away with the Possibility
of Conveying Disease by Mems
of Bottles.

There has been considerable talk in
Philadelphia relative to the efforts Of
some to have the bottllng Of milk
stopped and to return to the old Dip
milk system of delivery. The objec-
tions advanced were that, as the bottles
go from house to house, and as disease
and communicating influences may sur
round the bottles in some Of the many
places where they are delivered, they
might be the carriers of disease, This
objection is by no means bad one,
and everyone handling milk in bottles
should see that proper precautions are
taken to avoid trouble from This source.
At least 90 per cent. of the MIX handled
in bottles to-day runs considerable risk
in this direction, as the general custom

Art of Milking Cows.

In the first place, brush off the cows
bag dry and clean, but gently. Next
see that your own hands are clean; use
soap and warm water. Do not wet the
cows teats, certainly not by dipping
your fingers in the milk as you proceed.
1t is a bad and intolerable habit. DO
not converse with anybody, especially
another mixer; it will hinder you, OF
both, and it disturbs the COW. Never
strike COW; speak low and gently to
her; she is responsive to kindness
Never feed her just before milking;
that is to say, while you are milking.
Feed her before milking, and wait un-
til she is done feeding; she will stand
quieter. One thing at time. Milk
her as quickly as possible and as clean
as possible, but be careful not to hurt
her teats. Give her name and always
call her by that name. These are small
hints, but it pays to heed them.-St
Louis Republic.
