1t was some time in the afternoon when
l reached the home of my friends where
expected to stop. There were many young
men who were conscripted and scouting,
and | was welcomed among them. None
of them had ever been captured, and they
woii..1,d sit for hours and eagerly listen to the
story of nv experience, OF my capture, dc
sertion, Imprisonment. and suffering IL
my final escape from my regiment.

Life in the dismal gloom of these old mount
aims grew more and more monotonouS.

doing. To continue this would drive me

IN DIFFICULTY AGAIN.
just at this time we learned that there
had arrived in the neighborhood young
Confederate officer from Virginia, who was
recruiting for the artillery service. The
idea at once struck me that would see him,
state my caSe,-simply tell him the whole
story,-and if he could, under those cir
cumstanceS, accept me in his company,
take me from that country, and protect me
from my old regiment, | would enlist and
go with him, and as soon as we would get
in reach of the Union army, / would make
my escape into the lines. / expressed
my purpose to my companions. They
vigorously protested against it, did all they
could to induce me to remain; but my mind
was made up to get out of those mountains,
and away from the dangers that sur
rounded me there. l at once addressed a
note to this young officer, whose name
was Oliver, and sent it by a friend, stating
that on the next day at a certain hour /
would be glad to meet him at a certain
place, provided he would come under a
truce, unarmed, and alone.
He answered by the messenger, saying
he had heard Of me; would meet me, and
would comply with all the conditions men
toned, and would expect me to do the same.
AS he was a total stranger, and stated he
had heard OF me, felt little nervous, for
fear he might take advantage of this OPP
portunity and capture me; and then, again,
| thought that if he was Captain of artil-
lery, he would not violate his word under 4
truce. So on the next day, when the hour
came, We met in the woods at the place
agreed upon, and | got myself into more
trouble.

Variation in Cow Weights,

From Farmers Review: AT the
beginning of each month for the past
two months the dairy herd OF tne
Kansas State Agricultural College mas
been weighed for three consecutive
days, and the weight of each amman
determined by averaging the results
of the three days weighing. During
the first weigh period the herd did not
lave access to water until after they
were weighed, but during the secoho
period they were allowed to run to the
watering trough in the yard oe1ore
weighing. To one unaccustomed to
fluctuations in animal weights the Iol-
lowing results may appear astonlsh-
ing:
Cows Giving Milk: The average
weight of thirteen head was 1,O4S ana
LOGS pounds, respectively, for the first
and second weigh periods. During the
first period the minimum variation Oh
any one individual was 4 pounds, and
the maximum variation 90 pounos'
with an average for the lot of IL
pounds. During the second per lod'
where the herd had access to water
the minimum variation was POUNDS
and the maximum 80 pounds; but our
ing this period certain individuals
gained at the same time that others
lost, so that the average variation Ior
the lot was only 8 pounds, the Same
as the minimum variation of Any one
Individual In both periods the great
est variation took place with animals
that weighed 900 to $50 pounds
Dry Cows-The average weight OF
twelve head was ], 113 and 1,l25 POUNDS,
respectively, for the first and secoSo
weigh periods. During the first perlou
the minimum variation of any single
individual was pounds, and the max
imum variation 80 pounds, with an
average variation of pounds. Dur
ing the second period the minimum
variation was 4 pounds and the maxi
muDs 40 pounds, with an average 1or
the lot OF pounds. In the first period
the greatest variation was with 96O-
pound COW, and in the second period
with 1,3OO-pound COW.
Young Stock-This lot consisted
of five head, whose weights ranged
from 400 to 600 pounds. During the
first weigh period the minimum varia-
tion was Z and the maximum ~
pounds, with an average for the lot OF
% pounds. During the second PERIOD
the minimum variation among the in
dividuals so balanced each other that
the average variation for the lot was
only 2 pounds.
Calves-In four calves weighing from
IS to 165 pounds the variation was
from to 5 pounds, the average for
the lot for both periods being about
2h pounds. The greatest variation,
however, was with the smallest calf
Bull-This pure-blood Guernsey had
an average weight in the first period
OF 1,342 pounds, with a difference be-
tween his highest and lowest weight.
of AZ pounds. In the second weigh
period his average weight was 1855
pounds, with a variation of 10 pounds.
The above notes show that con-
siderable variation may take place in
consecutive daily weights of the same
animal without any apparent cause.
When a person is particular about get
ting an accurate weight of an animal
it should be done by averaging at least
three daily weighings.

Parentage In Poultry Breeding.

Keeper Now it cannot be denied that
it is desirable to secure absolutely per-
feet birds in all respects of both sexes
if possible; but, alas, every amateur
knows too we'll the scarcity of such
aud the above fact therefore becomes
of great importance in selecting a
breeding pen. For instance, a cock
may have been Matched late in the
year. and therefore be decidedly under
the proper standard in point of size,
and inferior for a show pen; bat if his
color, piumage, comb, and other points
whatever they may be-are perfect,
and he be active and lively, he may
make a first-class bird for breeding
when mated with good hens. A hen,
again, if of large size and good shape.
is not to be hastily condemned for
faulty feather or two, or even for
defective comb, if not too glaringly
apparent-JhOuSh the last 1aulL Is
serious one in either sex; but a very
bad colored or faulty combed cock,
however excellent in point of size, or
very small or ill-shaped hen, how
ever exquisite in regard to color, will
invariably produce chickens of very in
different order. 1t is also to be OBJ
