Turnips and MILK Flavor.

When strong favored foods, like
turnips, are to be fed, it should be
after milking and not before. The
controversy over the feeding of tur-
nips has simmered down to this. In
the past many men have refused to
feed turnips, asserting that it gave
the milk a turnip taste. 1t has finally
come to be recognized that the flavor
gets into it through the air that is
in the stable at milking time, or, at
least, if the flavor does go through the
cow, it is eliminated before the next
milking time comes around, provided
the feeding is done after and not be-
fore or while milking.-Farmers Re

GOOD ROADS PLANKs.
Republicans and Democrats VIII BE
Asked to Insert Them in Their
National Platforms.

Wheelmen, through their national
organization, the League of American
Wheelmen, are to be factors in the ma
4ional republican and democratic con-
ventions. The officers of the organiza-
ton have decided to use every means
to secure the adoption of good roads
plank in both platforms, and they are
sanguine of success.
The work of securing the pianks has
been entrusted to the highway i'm
provement committee, of which II. B.
Fullerton, of Brooklyn, is chairman.
This committee has among its mem
bers the most experienced good roads
workers in the country. They are men
of influence and will have no trouble
in securing an audience with the party
leaders.
The decision of the L. A. W. in this
undertaking is directly in line with its
policy to nationaIize the good roads
movement. Previous to the beginning
of this year the work of the league has
been confined to municipal. county and
state agitation. The dignity of a ma
tional movement was reached with
the introduction of the bill in con-
gress, by Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania, in behalf of the L. A W., asking
for an appropriation of 5000, 900 for
highway improvement. The insertion
of the planks in the party platforms
will further dignity the good roads
movement as being of national impor-
lance.
The League of American Wheelmen
contends, and justly it seen2s, that
there are very few matters of more
vital Importance to the entire coun-
try than the one of good roads. When
a government official, instructed to in
vestigate the economical side of the
question, reports there is an annual
loss of 100000, COO to the country be-
cause of bad roads, it certainly APP
pears the matter is worthy of the Sc
rious attention of the political parties
and congress.
The L. A. W. has been very success
full in persuading agriculturists of the
economy of improved highways, and
there are some of the strongest farm
ers' organizations in the country now
working in sympathy with the wheel
men. These will be asked to lend their
aid to the request for the platforms
and will be potent factors in the re-
suits.
In past undertakings the L. A W.
has accomplished many difficult tasks
in behalf Of whee1men, and it will in
this case, if necessary. show its full
strength; but it is not believed this
will be necessary in proposition of
such evident value.

dry cart. Next will come banker and
then a bod carrier, and then druggist,
and a millwright, and a baker, and a
butcher, and barber, and so on
through every walk and trade in life.
And it is just this class of citizens that
goes to make up the juries of the Unit
ed States. You may go to every other
land on the face of the globe, and you
will not find such an average group of
intelligent and fair-minded men as you
can find in any county seat in your
own country. But even from this gath
ering of ordinarily intelligent men
careful sitting is made; first by the
judges who pass upon the general fit
ness of the jurors, and then by the at
torneys who are to try the causes.
This examina alton of the judge ofttimes
proves an instructive lesson, and is the
means of bringing out queer phases
and traits of human nature. After
general summons has been served the
court proceeds to select his panels.
''All those who have been drawn as
jurors says his honor, twill step for

There is a shutting of feet and 80 or

Here they are!' and rushed on with a
sharp demand for surrender.
1.-The confederates were so tired and
sick that they offered no resistance
One of them said, with easy indiffer-
ence: You needn't make such a fuss.
We surrender. There are our guns
and our one man picked up three guns
and brought three prisoners into
camp. These prisoners told US such
stories that we knew that Bragg's
whole army was in striking distance,
but as tagged as we were. The next
day we left the main road and marched
asrapidly as men couldlmarch to little
town west or south of Louisville. We
didn't know where we were going, but
suddenly as we emerged from the
woods a great river was before US, and
beyond it farms and houses, peace and
prosperity.
''Some one shouted: The Ohio!' and
10000 voices were raised in cheering.
We were at Westpoint, on the Ohio,
where full rations were issued. Every
enc was so hungry, from the general
commanding the division down, that
there was little formaIity about TAX
ing rations. AS our company ran up
to the lines of barrels and boxes
smallish man was looking over a barrel,
his head and shoulders hid. Now every
man knew that the choicest crackers
were in barrels, and one of our boys,
a rough sort of a wag, struck the man
bending over the barrel a smart slap
and said: Get out of the way, pard;
you are too slow The head and Shout
ders of the man struck up with a
jerk. and before US stood Gen. Ammen,
commanding the brigade.
'The man who had done the spank
ing started to the rear, and explained
to the men coming up that he had
spanked a brigadier and was trying to
get out of the way. AS the sun went
down fully one-half the men in the
division threw off their clothes and
jumped into the river, while the other
half stood guard. The next day we
marched into Louisville to be received
with such cheers and enthusiasm as
rarely greeted an army. The di1 ty.
footsore men of the army of the Ohio,
after few days rest, turned on their
old enemy, and before the middle OF
November had driven him back to Muir
freesboro and McNIinnvilIe.'

GRANT WAS CONFIDENT.
The Fight Was Going to BE on Land
and He Thought He Would
WIN.

Col. Harry S. Swords, deputy col
lector of customs and ergeant-at-arms
of the republican national convention,
lately told story at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, says the New York Press.
I'm 1874 said Col. Swords, when
Grant was a candidate for the presi-
dency and the liberal republicans put
up Horace Greeley, there was a move
ment TO nominate Rear Admiral Porter
He was gallant sailor, had served in
engagements with Grant at Vickshurg
and elsewhere in the civil war. and
many thought it would be a good politi-
cal move to head the democratic ticket
with Porter, a war hero, as was Grant.
a delegation waited on the admiral
and preached the subject to him. He
said he would think it over.
''He and Grant were close friends,
and Porter was at the white house a
great deal. One day he told Gen. Grant
all about the proposition that had been
made to him, and asked:
50 What do you think of the idea, gen.
eral?'
Grant took his cigar from his mouth,
thought minute, and then said, slow
y:
"'Dave, I guess you'd better not do
it. You and have fought together,
and if we'd been on opposite sides I
guess you would have beaten me if the
fight had been on the sea. But this

Jones has pull with the politicians"
he grumbles, as he goes down to the
courthouse, fixing up all kinds of eX
scuses to get off. If he happens to be
resident of Cook county there is about
zone chance out of two hundred thou
sand of his ever getting on the jury at
all. If that chance fell to him and not
to Jones that isn't Jones fault. Some
body mas to serve on the juries. The
causes must be tried. That is why the
present system was formed. In the old
days it was a comparatively easy mat
ter to get three or four men in the jury
box who would be favorable to a GER
tain cause. Now such a thing is prac
tically impossible. But the average
man who receives a notice that he is
wanted for jury service has little or no
idea of the manner in which his selec-
ton was brought about. tall happens
IN this way:
Three jury commissioners are ap-
pointed by the judges and clerks OF
record-one for three years each year
The first step of the commissioners is
to take the names from the registra-
ton lists and verify them by the city
directory. These names are all writ
ten on cards and carefully classified in
alphabetical order in cabinets in the
rooms of the commissioners. When
ever a man is incapacitated for jury
service, or whenever he has already
served, a record to that effect is made
on his card. and it is filed away in the
proper place. Each year when new
lists are prepared the names are COM
pared with those on file, and, if a man
has already served, or if for any reason
has been incapacitated, his name is
omitted.
The law requires that one who has
already served as a juror shall not be
called upon again until all the other
names in the county have been ex-
hausted. There are 100000 names on
file to-day in the office of the Cook
county jury commissioners. When it
is necessary to impanel juries at least
$4,000 of these names are put into
box about 21a feet square. This box is

you see we have not time to explain the
words as we go along. The persons
whose causes are on trial have right
to expect that the jurors who hear
them can give their full attention to
the points at issue without stopping to
think out the meaning of the words.
Words, you know, are the tools with
which jurors work. You may step
aside, please"
The next man answered the educa
tiOnal requirements. He knew what
all the words meant. Then his honor
asked him:
Are you prejudiced against any race
or class of men?"
81 am afraid L am prejudiced against
some, your honor"
what class, for instance?"
81 don't like the Poles
"Any others?''
II don't like the English
'Any others?''
''Well, to be frank with your honor,
I haven't much use for the Beers.
can't stand the Turks, and the Norwe-
gians set my teeth on edge. I am lit
tie prejudiced against negroes and
Cinnamon, and hate southerners."
What nationality are you your
self?" asked the court.
Il am an American said the man.
''And how about the Americans?'
'Oh, just fair to middling.'
You appear to be at variance with
nearly everyone. We will excuse you
from service"
After that it came easier, and two
panels of jurors were soon formed who
were to report to the judge every day for
two weeks. Now when the lawyers
got through with their sitting proc
esses it is safe to say that the cause on
trial was in fairly competent hands.
So, you see, after all, you do owe
little duty to your county, and Incl
dentally your country, and should
be willing to serve cheerful1y as
juror when called upon.

according to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
but they kept in good spirits and came
to take every sort of adventure, mis-

turned this way and that: we lowered
about wagon trains milesin length; we
stood in line of battle sometimes for
hours. and then went to the right CT
left when we thought we ought to go
forward, and all the time we didn't
know where the confederate army was.
But one day one of the boys off on a
visit to one of the other divisions was
making a short cut home through a
cornfeld when he came upon three
footsore men in gray. He was so star
tied that he resorted to the worn-out
scheme pretending that he had other
men with him. He turned and shout
