Gen. Lees modestx.

A month or so after his surrender
Gen. Lee went one day to the store
near his home in Powhatan county,
Va, which served also as the post of
fee. Everybody in the town was in
stantly eager to see him, and in few
moments the store was crowded. The
general was talking with the proprie-
tor about crops and other matters, and
appeared utterly unconscious Of the
fact that the gathering OF the resi-
dents was due solely to his presence.
Suddenly he realized that everybody
was watching him and modestly said:

your many customers. Pardon metz

EGGS FOR MARKET.
Excellent Goods Must BE Furnished
Invariably to Hold FIrst-CIass
Customers.

For most OF US 1t pays better to raise
eggs for market than to raise fowls or
broilers. In raising eggs one has a
long, steady market, but for fowls and
spring chickens the same is not always
true. Besides, after we have raised a
chicken for eggs, and she has done the
best she can in laying eggs, we can kill
her and find market at some price for
her. The question of profits then is
merely relative matter of cost of feed
and price for eggs. If good prices can
be obtained for the eggs large profits
are realized, but low prices probably
mean loss. Consequently we must fig
ure out how to get good prices. One To-
Gated a long distance from a good mar
ket, where land is cheap and plenty,
would find egg raising as profitable as
breeding fancy fowls or spring chick
ems. The eggs that come from a great
distance are generally marked seconds
or culls, and they sell at such low prices
that the producers cannot receive much
for them. Only bakers and confection-
ers will buy these poor eggs, and they
are sold by the case, and not even by the
dozen.
Fresh eggs are just as knotty prob
lem with the consumers as with the pro-
ducers. In the first case it is how to get
absolutely fresh and reliable eggs, and
for the latter it is a matter of how to
reach the consumers directly. The mid
dleman usually comes in and spoils the
efforts of both sides. He mixes the alb
solutely fresh eggs of one shipper with
those of another, and supplies his Gus
toners with the mixed product. The
consumer in time begins to distrust
everyone, and when a dealer tells him
that his eggs are absolutely fresh he
takes it with a grain of salt. The only
way for the producer is to market his
own eggs or cooperate with others, so
that representative can go to the mar
ket every day and sell the eggs directly
to the different purchasers. Of course
this class of customers will be found
only among the wealthy, who can af-
ford to pay fancy prices. The fancy
eggs in large cities sell as high as 40 and
so cents per dozen among choice Gus
toners, and if farmers could receive
this they could well afford to peddle
them. Ten or 20 producers in one To-
cality could afford to send one of their
number twice week to market with
the fresh eggs from their farms, and
they would make more profits in this
way than if they shipped them in the
ordinary way. It would not be difficult
to increase the list of first-class custom
ers year by year if excellent goods were
always supplied. In order to retain as
well as secure this trade the very best
of eggs and service must be ungrudg-
ingly given.-Anne c. Webster, in
American Cultivator.

looking for TO-" a curious mollusk

but recent rains had flooded and mud

the miles between myself and supper

the first hotel I saw, the Morgan inn.
The name aroused my curiosity, and
it was not long before learned that
it was in memory of Capt. John a.
Morgan. and that the inn, formerly
the civilians mansion was the
scene of the final act in the life of the
notorious raider
It was early in July of 1863 that
Morgan, with his 1000 men, swan
their horses over the Cumberland ON
their way to the Ohio. The raids of
the preceding year, when Morgan
made life miserable to the union
forces in Kentucky, had trained the
tough Kentucky cavalrymen for the
desperate work now on hand. The
novelty of carrying his. warfare OF
plumber and robbery into the rich
country north of the Ohio appealed to

of the rebel sympathizers in Kentucky,
and his command was, nearly doubled
by eager recruits from the blue grass

The fun began as soon as the Ohio
was crossed, but for a, time it was all
on the side of the raiders. They
whipped a few small bodies of 'home
guards" without much trouble, plum
dered farms, levied tax on stores
and snapped their jaded horses for
the best in the farmers stables. OF
course they cut the telegraph wires
and ripped up railroad ties; and, as
Morgan had a telegraph operator with
him, he took advantage of various
occasions to send misleading messages
about his movements.
But meantime the pursuit was hot

and Morgan's bold riders began to feel
the wear and tear of hard rides and

in this region had tacitly established

on both sides popped at each other oc-

was in Greenevil1e, and on the night

forward in line we swept down the resi-
dence of an old fellow who was very
proud of his white house and his picket
fence that covered the front of the regi-
ment.
''As we swept forward the old gentle
man came out on his porch, and, throw
ing up his hands, shouted: Don't spoil
my fencel' The answer was that as the
line struck it the fence went down its
full length, with a crash, and the boys
swept on, except one sergeant, who
stumbled over a scared turkey, and who
caught it up hastily, threw it under the
fallen fence, and rushed on with his
command. After the engagement and
after the confederates had scurried
away, the sergeant came back to where
he bad left the turkey, lifted the fence,
took possession of it, and marched off.
''The confederate cavalrymen were
just ready to eat breakfast when we
opened on them with furious fire.
They left their breakfast spread out
on fence rails, on logs, and on the
ground, and after we had driven them

FIRST DISCOVERY OF HAWAII
One of the Islands Had Been Landed
Upon 200 Years Before Capt.
Cooks Voyage.

Although one of the Hawaiian islands
was discovered by Gaetano in 1912, the
fact seems to have been forgotten, by
the commanders of the Spanish gall
Icons, as well as by the pirates and cir
cumnavigators, if indeed the discovery
had ever been known by them. What
ever the secret archives of Spain may
have contained. it is very certain that
Spanish navigators did not know of the
islands for over two centuries. Evident
" Capt. Cook knew nothing of them,
nor any of the geographers, chart
makers or navigators of his day. The
memory of Columbus is honored as
fully as if he had been the first to find
America, as if he had been the first to
deem it possible, or probable, that by
sailing west the other side of the east
might be found. So with regard to
Capt. Cook, who was a hired sailing
master blowing in the Pacific a straight
furrow from south to north, from the
previously discovered South sea isles to
the fur-seal lands of Vitus Behring,

land.-Bancroft, the New Pacific.

LOCATING THE WELL.
Upon 1t Very OFTEN Depend the Lives
and Happiness of the Farmer
and His Family.

A very large proportion of our dis
eases come from the water we drink.
The farm well, in which all repose so
much confidence, is frequently the
cause of much evil that might be
avoided by close attention to its prop
er location and construction. Usually
our wells are too near barns and water
closets, to say nothing of sink -spouts.
People forget that below, the ground
lies a water level, that is, a level to
which body water comes. The barn
yards and closets drain down to this
water level and the impurities are car
ried laterally sometimes for great
distance.
The process is shown in our illus
tration (taken from a government bull
letin). The water level is seen near
the bottom of the cut. The water

THE GENERALS IoKE.
A civil war Incident which Illus
trates the Humor of Certain
Situations.

"Gen. Gordon said Capt. Ludwig,
'Stells some capital stories to illustrate
the good fellowship that existed be-
tween the officers and enlisted men of
the confederate army. Reading the his
tory of the operations of the union
army gives one the impression that
there was no such familiarity and fell
lowship between officers of the regular
army like Thomas and Mcpherson and
their men. But remember an incident
at the crossing of Big Black river in
January, 1864, that shows Mcpherson
in his true character.
''The Twentieth Illinois had reenlist-
ed as veterans on the understanding
that the men were to have a 30 days fur
Tough in their own state. But few
days after reenlistment, when the Six
teenth and Seventeenth corps started to
tear up the railroad from Jackson to
Meridian, the Twentieth was ordered
forward on what the boys knew was to
be long campaign. They were natural
ly disappointed and irritated, and when
they marched down to cross the river
there was a good deal of grumbling and
swearing.
''When they came to the river Gen.
Mcpherson, always the superb soldier,
was supervising the details of crossing.
He was one of the best engineers in the
army, and he had way of looking after
bridges and pontoons himself. As the
boys caught sight of him, just as they
were about to step on the pontoon
bridge, they began to shout: Thirty
days in your own state. Yah, 80 days in
your own state Mcpherson turned and
said, somewhat sternly: What does
this uproar mean? What are those men
talking about?'
Zone man in the ranks, holder than
the others, said: General, we relisted
with the promise of 3O-days' furiough
in our own state, and here we are or
dered off, with no chance of getting in
to our own state. Is that fair?' The
general smiled, and said: 'Reenlisted,
have you? That's good. In what state
did you reenlist?' Some man answered:
Mississippi 'Ah,' said the general.
that's all right. 1t looks, boys, as
though you were going to get a 30-days'
furlough in your own state; that is, the
state in which you reenlisted. But the
other matter will be all right, men;
every man in this command will be
treated fairly And away the boys
went, laughing over the generals joke
and strong in the faith that Mcpherson
would see them through.
''It was on this same march or raid
that Forces brigade, with the Twen-
tieth Illinois in advance, was sent to de-
stroy a bridge. We struck suddenly
brigade of confederate cavalry at break
fast, and we charged on them in a way
to stampede the whole command. The
story of that engagement is told very
graphically in the history of the war,
but there is one incident that is not

Carrots as a stock Food.

Carrots can be sliced with root cut
ter and be made serviceable for all kinds
of stock. Horses can eat them with
out preparation of the food, but cattle
are liable to be choked by any kind of
roots unless the food is cut or sliced.
With the root cutter carrots may be
sliced and chopped at one operation
into very small pieces, so as to render
them serviceable for poultry of all
kinds. Eurnips, beets, potatoes and
parsnips may be sliced IN the same
manner.

DESTROYING MINKS.
A Simple Method which Has Been
Used with Success for a Num-
Der of Years.

To destroy minks, get wide boards
and place them all around the inside of
your yard Tor on the side the minks en-
ter), leaning against the fence and
about six inches out from the bottom, so
as to leave a ''run' behind. Place the
boards butt to butt, making loose joints,
and at intervals of two or three boards
make small hole opening into the yard
under the edges above. Directly behind
these holes place your trap, using a steel
trap and covering it well, as covering a
trap carefully is very important. Make
hole just deep enough to leave the trap
level with the surface Of the ground
then cover the jaws and springs with
sawdust or light earth, making every
thing look natural, and drop carelessly
a dead leaf on the ''pan" so as to cover
it well. Care should be taken not to get
Jumps of earth under the E'pan." See
that your chain is fastened firmly, or
you may lose your trap. Be careful not
to make the holes under the boards too
large, as some inquisitive bird will get
his neck squeezed. The trap can remain
set both day and night without danger
to the fowls. A mink or weasel will not
climb over the boards when they can
travel on the ground or under. A plan
that can be tried in an open yard is the
following:
Around the fowl-house make piles of
roots, sticks, rubbish, etc., say three or
four, and so arrange them as to leave a
small hole in each. Set your trap, well
covered, just in the entrance of the
holes, and the mink viii be caught
