THE OFFICIAL TIME.
1t Was Carried by the General and
Had to Be Recognized
as Such.

The necessity that there shall be only one
man who "has the say" in military com
mand is thoroughly recognized in the United
States army. A story is told of Gen. Shat
ter, commander of the American expedition
ary force for the invasion of Cuba, which IL
lustrates the punctilio of the regulars in this
regard.
At certain frontier post at which Shafter,
who then held an inferior rank, was com
mander many years ago, a discussion arose
among several officers as to the exact time
of day. A captain, with his watch in his
hand said:
at is now exactly three o'clock"
"Oh, no." said lieutenant, "by my time
it's eight minutes past three"
A third officer drew his watch out of his
pocket. 81 know my time is exactly right,
he said, "and my watch says two minutes
past three"
At this juncture Maj. Shafter looked at
his silver watch.
Il don't know what your watches say" he
remarked, but l wish you to understand
that in this command it is five minutes past
three"
Then the young officers remembered that
the authority of the commanding officer ex
tended even to the time of day.-PlttsDurgh

VALUE OF sEPARAToRS.
They Can he Used to Advantage
wherever Five or More Cows
Are Kept.

AS the economy in using the sep
Arator in the dairy becomes better un-
derstood the number used will in
crease. 1t is a recognized fact that to
secure the largest per cent. of fat in
the milk there must be speedy sep
aration. Here is one of the principal
advantages of the separator. The
cream is taken out of the milk before
it has had time to cool and before the
milk has had time to be subjected to
any considerable extent to deteriorat-
ing influences.
Milk so readily absorbs any odors
that may be in the air after it cools
that it is quite an item to get the
cream from it before there has been
an opportunity for the milk to come
in contact with foul odors of any kind;
Then, a good separator will take the
cream more thoroughly out of the
milk than is possible by any system of
milk setting for cream raising. Any
cream left in the milk is direct loss
that cuts into the profits.
Of course, getting practically all

the only one. Taking the cream out
| before the milk has cooled gives it al
ways sweet and there is much bet
ter opportunity of ripening it uni
| formly; and in making of good butter
uniformity in ripening of the cream is
| as important item.
1t is essential to use the waste prod
ucts to the best advantage. Having
the skim milk perfectly sweet and
| fresh, as it is when the separator is
Used, affords a much better opportun-
| ity of using to the best advantage.
| The sweet skim milk is better to use
in cooking and to feed to all kinds of
| young stock, so that more can be made
out of it.
To this may be added the saving OF
time and labor, which helps to reduce
| the cost. Fewer utensils in handling
the milk are needed and it is less work
to properly care for separator than
for a creamery with the cans and
| other vessels when the cream-raising
| plan of management is followed.
| Whenever five or more cows are
kept and it is an item to make the
most and the best butter from them, a
| good separator can be made to pay.

New Mother-in-Law Story.

A Cleveland man who went east to spend
his vacation brought home with him what he
thinks is a new mother-in-law story, Moth
er-in-law stories are a drug on the market,
but this one seems to oe a little less druggy
than usual. A man and his wife went TO
Europe and the mans mother-in-law went
along. Up to this point there is no novelty
in the story. On the voyage the mother-in-
buried at sea, and so the usual canvas sack
was made, but instead of an iron weight to
sink the body they used big bag of coal. In
commenting on the arrangements afterward
the bereaved son-in-aw, who suffered bad
ly, said: "I-always knew where m-m-m

It's pretty tough tale they tell on
the Kentucky man who went to big
banquet out of the state. He had been
invited to respond to the toast ken
lucky" and was expected to glitter
and glow. The feast proceeded in
great shape, one wine following the
other-punch galore-heaven knows
what else-and the gentleman from
the state imbibed with cheerful per-
sistency. His speech did not come till
the close of the banquet, and finally
the toastmaster rose and said: mfr.
Bluegrass will respond to the toast
Kentucky" He made some graceful
remarks and looked around. Alas!
Mr.. Bluegrass was not visible.
Where's Kentucky?" he demanded
of his fellow guests. Where is Ken
tuclSy?"
Kentucky is under the table," was
the reply, and, sure enough, he was re-
posing under the mahogany, where
not wave of trouble rolled across his
peaceful breast.-Louisville Times.

And now our thoughts are all of peace and
home. There are, too often. people to be
found who have no home, and it is to them
these few words are addressed. If you real

you should act at once before the relapse
from the war puts prices on the advance.
In Marinette County, Wisconsin, the very
finest farming land is to be had now at a
most modest figure. Excellent home mar
kets are at hand to take whatever the farm

AVOIDING COLDS.
Betting Heated in ChanEeable Weather
II Something to be Carefully Avoided.

Betting Heated In ChRnEeable Weather
II Something to be Carefully Avoided.
Avoiding colds is an art which
should be acquired by every individ-
ual, as it usually requires only proper
precautions. Colds are often the re-
suit of some condition of the constitu-
tion, or manner of living, or a lack of
mental hygiene. In the latter case,
people frequently encourage colds by
expecting and looking for them every
time there is a change of atmospheric
influence, such as often occurs daily.
Good mental resolutions and alb
sence of undue fear of colds will do
something towards avoiding them;
but mostly the art is secured through
Increasing the resistance of the body.
Colds are frequently caused by
draughts of air striking sensitive por-
tions of the body, usually the back of
the neck. abdomen, feet and legs, as
these portions are perhaps the most
susceptible. To avoid this tendency
the skin should be toughened, so that
1t will bear cold air better; this is done
by daily cold sponge bathing better
than any other way. If this habit is
taken up during the warm weather,
and kept up during the entire year, it
will do much towards exempting indi-
viduals from colds.
People who have not acquired this
resistance will have to exercise more
pains to adapt their clothing and ex-
ercise to the condition of the climate.
Getting heated in changeable weather
renders the individual very much more
susceptible to taking cold. Practical
adjustment of clothing, exercise, rest
and protection, during the seasons
when colds are prevalent will often be
temporary measure against taking
cold, while, on the other hand, con-
stant worry about ones inability to
adjust these conditions may be cause
for it's development.-N. Y. Ledger.

ROADS AND VEHICLES.
The Relation They Bear to Each

Machinery is always constructed
with reference to the conditions under
which it is to be used, and its separate
parts are of such material and
strength that no one part will unduly
wear or injure any other part. The
plan of the deacon, in constructing
his celebrated chaise, is followed as
far as may be, and each part is made
just as strong as the rest.
The American Machinist calls at
tention to this principle and shows
that it is not observed in building
wagons, these vehicles not being con
