REFRIGERATOR CRATE.

it. This, perhaps, saved space, but did
not carry the fruit in so good condition.
The idea in the newest pattern seems to
be that the ice is distributed over the
entire upper surface Of the crate, thus
cooling the whole evenly, and as cold
air settles, it goes all down through the
crate uniformly. The berries in these
crates seem to arrive in fine condition.
The construction is pretty well shown
in the illustration. This crate meas
ured, outside measure, about two feet
two inches by two feet six inches by
two feet seven inches. 1t held four
layers of quart baskets, 16 in each lay
er-64 in all. AS shown, drain pipe
extends from the bottom of the crate
up nearly to the bottom of the pan,
and a spout from the latter drains of
the water from the melting ice. The
ice-pan can be lifted out to get at the
berries. There is ventilator through
the middle of the crate, as shown. The
whole is solidly built. The cover is
fastened on with bolts set stationary
in the crate, projecting through the
corners of the cover, and fastened with
nuts. The latter cause good deal OF
trouble to receivers, as they are sunken
in the cover, and it is difficult to get at
them with an ordinary wrench. Most
of them hold five tiers-s0 quarts. The
artist drew 64-quart one.

HE WAS DISAPPOINTED.
The Unsatisfactory Experience OF .
Farmer Who Planted squash
Crop on Muck Land.

A number of years ago broke up a
tract located Just back of the horse
barn. The soil is jet black, the location
low and during the winter overilowed.
IL is too soft at any season OF the year
to team over, but during the summer Is
sufficiently dry for tillage crops. jim
Lane "a hardy, tough lrishman, who
has rested from his earthly labors now
for many years., and | tapped u cess
pool which bordered on the meadow,
and carried the night soil on handbar-
rows to each hill, manuring very liber-
ally. As the season advanced the vines
started off almost on the run, for with
the nitrogen in the night soil added to
the nitrogen of the rich meadow they
had mighty dose of it. The rank vines,
with the ends of their runners lifted
into the air, and their tips bent just un-
der, looked for all the world like tam
gle of green serpents straining to free
themselves, The crop was large one,
of large Hubbard squashes, of u PEE
culiar rich, light green color. With the
exception of few which grew along
the borders of ditch which ran
through the meadow, that were more
or less eaten by muskrats, the crop was
safely housed before the first frost. The
final result was anything but satisfac-
tory,f the quality of the squash proved
to be quite inferior; they were rather
punky in their structure and soggy in
their make up both of which character
istics helped them on to an early and
rapid decay, The two lessons l learned
from that experiment were, first, tokeep
squashes off muck unless it had first
been heavily treated to sand or gritty soil,
"a hundred loads to the acre, to supply
the silica which is wanting in all mere
ly vegetable deposit; second, to use min
eral manures, such as unbleached wood
ashes and dissolved bone, rather than
those strong in nitrogen on a soil that
is already rich in that circumstances

stricken comrade. The day was fast
passing away into darkness, dark
ness that seemed to enshroud this val
ley of death. The terrific cannonad-
ing on both sides that had lasted for
hours from the surrounding hills (Mal-
vern hill being the central point of at
tack by the confederates) was sup
plemented by the booming of artil-
lery and the bursting of shells from the
gunboats on the adjacent James river.
Nature seemed to revolt at this scene
of blood and carnage. Thunder and
lightning and an avalanche Of rain
came in quick succession with such
great force as to cause the stoutest
heart to quake. This great battle was
the seventh days fight to capture the
city of Richmond. 1t was not an or
binary battle, but demons fight, and
the final encounter between those two
giants of war, Robert f. Lee and
George B. Mcclellan. 1t gave the lau
rels of victory to the southern chief
tain, believed with the tears of broken
hearts.
Without stopping to consider what
I, alone, could do for the dying youth
amidst the chaos and increasing dark
ness of the night that prevailed, I

who had swoonel away from loss of
blood, and was glad to know he was not

horse to hold, I tore the sash from
around my waist to bandage his torn
and bleeding limb.
The boy was praying, and calling
down Gods blessing upon me. His
petition to Heaven seemed to be heard.
The storm of wind and rain, although
still high, was ahating. Naught but

out the surrounding forest could now

Poultry md Plum Trees.

1t is good plan to scatter trash, with
little oats and corn in it, among the
plum trees, where the chickens can
scratch at it early in the morning. A
flock of chickens can destroy more de-
structive insects than all the concoc-
tons ever made. This scattering should
commence two or three weeks before
the trees are in bloom, and continue
until the plums are as large as peas.
Plum trees should always be planted in
groups. For one thing, they fertilize
each other, and the industry mentioned
above can be followed with ease. 1t is
well known that nature plants her
plums in thickets.-E. B. Heaton, in
Farmers Review.

men were killed and much damage was
done.
In time a committee of three officers
of the regular army, belonging to the
ordnance department, appeared at
Memphis to investigate and place the
responsibility for the loss of life and
property. Young Pride was the most
important witness. He told the COM
mittee what he had said to the steam
boat people. Upon his testimony 'the
blame was fixed and the company had
to pay large sum.
The officers became much interested
In the little fellow, who had made their
task comparatively easy, and asked
many questions about him. They
learned also how efficient he was in the
Memphis ordnance department and OF
his general good character and con-
duct. Just before leaving the city
they called upon Capt. Pride and in
formed him that If his boy would go to
West Point and become an officer in the
ordnance department they would see
that he was given chance to enter
the popular military school. The cap
tain, who had been in the army four
years, made up his mind that he did
not want his boy to make soldering
his lifework and declined the offer

REPORTED AT LAST.
An Old Ex-COnfedernte's Brief Blu
Interesting story OF
the War.

''I heard an old ex-confederate down
in Green county tell good story not
long SINCE" said southerner who
stopped over in Louisville en- route to
Frankfort. '"The old Johnny Reb said
the officer commanding the regiment
in which he was battling for the south's
rights sent an aid out before the battle
Of Murfreesboro to ascertain the force
of the enemy and to pick up any in
formation of value. The colonel never
saw the captain before or after the
fight, and wondered what had become
of him. The officer, of course, thought
the brave young southerner had met
his death while on duty.
"While the colonel was presiding as
mayor of town in Tennessee three
years ago n one-legged man walked
into the Office one day and said:
Colonel, have to report, sir, that l
found the enemy in force The stran-
ger was the captain who had been sent
out to reconnoiter 26 years before. He
had been wounded, captured by the
Yanks and had his left leg amputated.
He was sent to his home in South Caro-
lima when exchanged, and had never
had an opportunity to see the colonel
before. Having heard that his superior
officer was in the Tennessee city, the
loyal 'confed.' decided to report."

UNsEAsONED TUBS.
Large Quantities of Really Good But
ter Are Spoiled by Their Use
All Over the Country.

A great many unseasoned butter tubs
are being marketed by one or two
firms, which ought to be in better bust
ness, but which somehow in the COM
petition between them do not exercise
the care they formerly manifested in
all their manufactures. Of course, it
will be said of the guilty concerns that
it is some one else that is turning out
such fresh material, but Investigations
show that the concerns in question
ought to be in better business if they
desire to maintain any sort of reputa-
ton for honest, decent goods. In writ
ing on this phase of the question to the
New York Produce Review, a Mr.. Dodge
says among other things: "All the
trouble that l have had in the past three
years has been from sappy green wood,
and the trouble can only be overcome
by having the wood thoroughly dry and
fit for use. There is nothing manufac-
tured, that is made out of wood, until
the wood is properly seasoned. see
no reason why this should not follow as
regards butter tubs" No reason what
ever, except the rapacity and narrow
greed of some of these manufacturers
1t makes great difference in the price
of butter that is not packed in first
class and thoroughly seasoned tubs OF
those raw and fresh. Tubs may look all
right on shipment, but after the butter
has been in transit to market, the de-
fects become apparent and the goods
are reported as off, affecting top quo
tations. Butter-makers should eXer.
else the greatest care in such matters
and if possible make such concerns
sign a contract to make good any losses
sustained through want of properly
seasoned tubs. There is no excuse for
It any more than there is for any other
kind of fraud. Prairie Farmer.

REFRIGERATOR CRATES.
Shipping Strawberries from Flor
ida to Northern Markets.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker describes what he says is the
favorite style of refrigerator crates now
in use for shipping strawberries from
Florida to the northern markets:
The improvement is in the manner Of
supplying the ice; the latter is in a
shallow galvanized tray fitting in the
top, and the full size of the crate. One
old style that 1 saw this morning had
narrow, upright receptacle for the ice,
which formed a sort Of partition
through the center of the crate. An
other had a shallow ice-pan i'll the CEN
ter of the top, of a size that allowed
row of berry baskets to be set around

John f. Hurley, of this town, enlisted
as private in September, 1861, at the
age, of II, and served in the Manning
battery. Mr.. Hurley was a clever gun
ner, and several years ago the following
tale was told Of his skill. He was ac-

the enemy in one engagement, and his
captain came up and said:

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A BAD EXPLOSION.
How 1T Resulted from CnrelessnesS
in Handling Army AM
munItiOn.

"There Is q lawyer who had close
call for West Point" said Milwau-
keean as he pointed out Charles A.
Pride.
When Pride was lad of Ia his father,
who was captain of company |, Forty
sixth Illinois, on duty as ordnance Off
Ger at Memphis, allowed him to visit
him. He remained in the ordnance
department until October 1865, and
soon became valuable in the depart
lnent. Indeed, aside from the ord
nance officer himself and the chief clerk
no one was better posted on the numer-
GUS kinds of ammunition--shot shell,
shrapnel and canister for all sizes of
cannon, the small arms ammunition for
dozen different kinds of guns, car
bines and revolvers. Within a month
he knew right where each kind was,
could tell every caliber, for cannon as
well as rifles, by the size and color of
the boxes. He was trusted to fill
acquisitions for vast quantities of ord
nance stores.
Capt. Pride had on hand large
amount of percussion ammunition for
cannon at the close of the war. He
was afraid that u box Of it might be dis
turbed and explode, thus endangering
many lives and property valued at mil
lions of dollars. He sought and was
given permission to ship it to the
arsenal at Rock Island. The men un-
der the captains charge knew that
their lives depended upon handling the
stuff with care, and it was placed on the
Memphis wharf without accident.
There it was turned over to the steam
boat people, the Memphis g. st. Louis
Packet company, and their roustabouts
began to load it. The boy was sent to
the landing to look after the goods I'M
til they were out of the hands of the
ordnance officer. He did that and still
fingered. He was there when the col
ored men began to carry the boxes on
to the boat. They handled them
roughly and carelessly.
"Men, you can't throw those boxes
of shells about like that; they will ex-
plode and kill you," said the lad.
go way, chile, we dun knows our
business" answered bulky negro.
Then the boy hunted up the mate
and warned him of the danger of the
rough manner in which the negroes
were handling the boxes. "You will
get some one hurt il it is not stopped"
II guess we can get along without
your help, sonny"
He called upon the clerk and captain,
with no better results, and then ran to
the office of the agent of the line, sew
eral rods from the boat, and begged of
him to make the men do their work
right.
boy, you go on; this is not the first
time those men have had to load stuff
like that"
Before the boy could protest again
one of the boxes fell and exploded.
Many others followed. Three or four

EPISODE OF THE WAR.
The Last Night Of n Southern sOldleB
on the Battle Field of Mall
Vern Hill.

"Don't leave me, captainl Oh, don't
leave me!"-the words came to me with
an agonized shrek from bleeding and
dying confederate soldier on the even
ing of the great battle of Malvern hill,
July /, 1862. He was mere boy Of
II years, and lay in heap, gasping
for the breath which was fast leaving
him, along with the rays of the sun
light, on that sad and memorable day.
I, for whom that piteous cry was meant,
was staff officer of the brigade to
which the Louisiana regiment, the
boys regiment, was attached.
Well mounted, l was galloping back
across that bloody field to report the
duty 1 had performed, when suddenly
arrested in my course by the voice of
despair and woe coming from my
