funny as the fact that in 1862 Blenk- CTS division of the Army of the Poto. mac, comprising nearly 10000 men with three batteries of artillery, got lost going from near Manassas Juno tion across the Shenandoah valley to join Gen. Fremont. It was lost so long was so completely swallowed up, that Gen. Rosecrans was finally sent out after several weeks with large body come of the division.
 ''You could hardly believe that was true, but there are plenty of men to substantiate the statement that near. ly 10000 men of our forces were abso- 1utely lost to the main army for over two weeks, and neither the war de- pertinent nor the commanding officers in the field knew where they were. It was about this time that the move. ment on Richmond was checked for the purpose of attending to Stonewall Jackson's operations in the Shenan- doah valley. He was 20 miles from Strasburg and we had 45,OOO men on his flank and rear within striking dis tance. We outnumbered his force two to one or more.
 "Our object was to capture him. You remember that?''
 The 13 listeners nodded. The four teenth continued:
 "He didn't appear to care a rap about our object. We did recapture Front Royal, which he had taken from us, but then after that we were set down in the sun and allowed to bake there while Jackson leisurely moved away from us. was in Shields divi. sion, which finally early in June was sent after Jackson, or at him, to effect his capture. Brig. Gen. Carroll was the one who got the famous order from Shields to save the bridge at Port Republic, the one across the Shenandoah, which in his flight it was feared Jackson would destroy.
 ''When Gen. Carroll got to the Port Republic bridge Jackson was across it and in the town with his wagon trains. His troops were on the oppo- site side of the stream. Carroll real ized the situation at once, and he or dered his artillery into position, where they could command the bridge, and directed the officer commanding his cavalry to take possession of the bridge. Capt. Reid aided in the execu- tion of this command, and the bridge was taken. In accomplishing this one of Jackson's staff officers, Lieut.. Doug las, was captured.'
 ''I saw him wounded and then brought in,' said one of the group.
 'sWel,'' said Hasey. Capt Reid or dered him to sit down at the west end of the bridge until the fracas was over, and then his wound would be attended to- Just then a mounted officer came along, wearing a hanging overcoat and riding from Port Republic across the bridge to it's west end. He stopped his horse and asked Capt Reid in a short, gruff manner:
 "'What are you doing here?'
 "Capt. Reid thought he was one of our cavalry officers, First Virginia men, and he answered:
 "'I'm attending to my business, d. you, and you had better go to your command and attend to yours.'
 ''The officer excused himself and rode off the west end of the bridge, putting spurs to his horse and gallop- ing up the hill. Just then Capt. Reid noticed the prisoner having a hearty laugh to himself and asked him what it was about.

The finest butter does not come by
chance. There must be no mistake, no
neglect, from the time the milk is in
the pail till the butter is in it's package.
There must be, first Of all, the most
scrupulous cleanliness both in the sta
BILE and the dairy, for milk, like man,
to whose needs it ministers, is very
prone to be overcome Of evil. If it's
purity is to be retained, it must be kept
out Of bad company. No matter how
clean the stable is kept, get the milk
out of it as soon as possible-not leave
it there in temptation.
Be sure, too, your milk will find ev-
cry den of vice in the seams of pail and
can, and veritable den of vice every
seam and corner will be if they have
the slightest chance All dairy utensils
should be made with just as few seams
as possible, and the man ought to have
a rushing business who will make them
with no seams at all. But if new
seams are bad what will we say of the
patches and blotches of solder on old
dishes? Yet too often such dishes are
used for milk.

KEEP OF DAIRY COWS.
What They Cost Per Year For Feed
and Attendance.

and Attendance.
Professor D. H. Otis of the Kansas
station publishes some figures as to
the cost of keeping a cow year. 1t
was found there that the herd aver
aged to consume 6,166 pounds Of rough
forage and 1850 pounds of grain per
cow in the year, when they were given
all they would eat Of a balanced ra-
ton. This cost there $29.S6.
Practical dairymen reported time re-
quired to milk and feed, clean stables
and wash the milk utensils and they
averaged 125 hours per COW in year,
which at 10 cents an hour would be
$3.50. The average value of the COWS
is $40, interest at 8 per cent, $500.
Loss by failure to breed or loss of calf
and by accidents is risk that is esti-
mated ut 1915 a year. This leaves
$1S.45 above the $29.S6 that the calf
and milk should yield before the owner
obtained profit.
He finds a part of that in raising the
and having it worth $40 then. For the
eastern dairy we should add one-half
to cost of labor, making it $1S.75, says
The American Cultivator, and one
third to cost of hay and grain, making
it $40, reduce the interest to 6 per
making total cost Of keeping the COW
one year $63.90, to be balanced by val
lie Of calf, milk and manure

RAISING DAIRY COWS
REASONS WHY n is PREFERABLE TO
BUYING CATTLE.

Lessons the Danger of Introducing
Disease Into the Herd-First Cost
Is Cheaper-NTore Likely to Be Free
| From Tricks
| A speaker at the meeting of the
Pennsylvania Dairy union gave four
objections to the practice Of buying
dairy COWS and four reasons why the
dairyman should raise his own COWS.
We will unite them, as they are simply
the reverse Of each other, says The
American Cultivator.
II one raises his own, he knows the
ancestry of it and can raise his calves
from his best COWS and from the best
sire that he can get the use Of If not
absolutely sure Of getting one better
than its mother he stands a good
chance Of doing so, while if he buys a
COW there are many chances that she
will not prove as good as he was led to
expect by the representations of the
seller.
II he keeps his animals under good
sanitary conditions, he need have but
little fear Of disease, either contagious
OF inherited, while from COW bought
and put in the herd there may be some
disease introduced that will cOntami-
nate every animal in it. This is of i'm
pOrtance in these days of tuberculosis.
If one raises a COW, she should begin
to be self supporting or little more at
years old and should be useful and
n Of hot
while the majority of COWS that are
brought in for sale are from to 8
years old and often sold for some
fault, SO that the purchaser gets but
one years service out of them.
He figured that he could raise heif-
er to 2 years old for a cost of $32.5
after which it becomes source Of
profit, while the average price of a
good cow brought into that state would
be $50, and there would be chances Of
her not being very good at that.
To his reasons we will add some 9TH
ers which we think scarcely less i'm
pOrtant. The man who raises a cow
properly from a good parent never
need have one with those faults usual
ly called tricks. She need not be a
kicker or cross in barn or pasture nor
breachy, either tearing down or jump
ing ever fences, while we have known
men to buy cows with one or more Of
these faults.
A cow bought and placed in a new
spot among a strange herd will sell
dom do her best unless for some fault
she has been changed around so often
that she expects to change hands ev-
cry season OF Oftener.
The man who raises his COWS cannot
only breed for the type he wants-but-
ter, beef Oh quantity of milk-but he
can feed for that particular type and
bring out the best there is in it if he
understands his business. These are
good reasons, but we will add another.
A we'll bred calf we'll cared for be-
comes what some one said the pig
was, 'poor mans savings bank"
where he puts in a few cents day
without feeling it and after awhile
draws out his investment when it is a
welcome amount to him. 1t is like the
man who raised the colt and at years
old he said it had not cost him any
thing for if he had not raised it he
would not have had cent more money
than he had when he had the colt.
