Ventilation Very SD.

a high army officer, whose fad was
ventilation, was one day making an
inspection of a frontier post which was
very much in need OF repair. In some
places the roof showed the blue sky
overhead and the walls we-3 ornament
ed with gaps.
The brigadier general was escorted
through the building by the colonel in
charge, sergeant going on before,
as is the custom, to warn the men to
stand at attention in honor of the gen
eral.
AS they proceeded the general asked:
"And how is the ventilation, colonel?"
Before the colonel could reply, the
old sergeant, with a familiarity born
of long service, said:
Sure, general, an the ventilation is
bad, sorr, verra bad, sorr. The place
is all full of holes, sorr. detroit Free

the signatures were almost fac-similes.
When the officer of the guard came
around to Sherman to get him to sign
that nights passes, the latter met him
with:
"'What in thunder do you want me
to sign passes for when you can do it as
we'll yourself?'
"No passes would Sherman sign that
night nor the next, nor the next; but
the passes were presented just the
same, in the same mysterious manner.
The pass question bothered the colonel
good deal, but it was finally decided
to have Division Gen. Porter sign them,
which he did with fine bold hand and
with red ink, which the others could
not counterfeit, although they tried
it hard enough. The battle of Bull Run
came up then and knocked all thought
of it from our minds.
at was found out, though, that there
was one man in our regiment who knew
Sherman's handwriting, another who
knew Quinby's, and another who knew
Schoeffel's, and that they had prac-
ticed them until they could initiate
the writing of each to perfection, after
which they proceeded to flood the
camp with the passes. IN. y. SUM-

"I'll be at Smith g. Hanscom's dry

1t was three minutes after IL when
Jared drove up to the appointed place
of meeting. The widow had stepped
into the sleigh and he was tucking the
robes in around her when she said:
There, Jared, I'm just like other
women; I've forgotten something"
"What is it?"
Il forgot to go around to the post Of
fee. / know that there's nothing there
for me, because one of the Stone boys
brought my mail out last night, and
there's no mail trains in until noon; but
poor old Jane Carr came over just be-
fore l left and wanted me to be sure
and see if there was letter for her.
Her daughter is very sick out west, and
she hasn't had letter for a week, and
she's half wild. couldn't bear to tell
her I'd forgotten to go to the office"
"I'll drive around that way" said
Jared. st won't be three blocks out of

Two or three boys stood idling in
front of the post office, and Jared said
to one of them he CHANGED to know:
"Say, Jimmie, run into the Office and
see if there's any letter for Mrs. Jane
Carr. You needn't ask for me, for I've
been around and got my mail"
"You might look in box 1884," said
Mrs. Darby. "Mebbe there's drop let

The boy came out a moment later
with very large square white envelope
in one hand and small blue envelope
in the other. He grinned as he handed
them to Mrs. Darby. She glanced at
the blue envelope and said, joyfully:

POTATOES FOR STOCK.
Whether Fed to Cattle or Horses the
Tubers Should he Given with
Considerable Caution.

When a farmer has a big crop of po-
tatoes on hand and the price goes away
below any fair compensation for the la
Dor involved in growing them, he nat
urally wants to feed to some kind of
live stock. 1t then becomes interesting
to know what their relative value for
that purpose is. Fjord found in the
low countries of Europe that four
pounds of potatoes were worth one
pound of grain for pig feeding. Henry
i'll this country found that AS pounds
of potatoes was worth 100 pounds of
corn meal for pigs. For pigs the po-
tatoes should be fed with skim milk
or some other foods fairly rich in pro-
tein. Counting cornmeal worth SIS
per ton, potatoes would be forth 13
cents per bushel for pig feeding. If
cornmeal isworth SIG, potatoes would be
worth II cents per 5ushel.
While l caution your reader from
undertaking to reduce pig feeding to
a mathematical science l think he
would not be far wrong in estimating
the amount of gain TO be derived from
potatoes judiciously fed with middlings
and skim milk as three pounds of gain
to the bushel of potatoes. In other
words the bushel of potatoes added to
the skim milk and middlings will pro-
duce three pounds more of gain than
the skim milk and middlings would
have produced if fed alone. Potatoes
have been fed to dairy cows and TO
horses. A French chemist estimate
that 100 pounds of hay could be re-
placed by little less than 300 pounds
of potatoes. Whether fed to cattle or
horses, potatoes should be fed very
cautiously C. ID. Smith, Mich

a regiment who was going to retire.
The soldiers, who all liked him, sub
scribed together and bought him o
beautiful silver jug.
An old sergeant was appointed 10
make the presentation, and also 10
make long speech, which lie WAS to
learn off by heart.
When the appointed time arrived, the
colonel was sitting at table with some
of the officers.
The sergeant came rolling up to the
table. with very confused hook and
to the astonishment of all present he
stammered out:
"He-here's the Jug" handing 1t to
the colonel, who was so dumfounded
that he stammered out: "Oh, is it?"-

She burst into merry laugh as she

when he had gone back to his comrades
