GOOD COM Es OUT OF NAZARETH.

There are those who fought IN the
great ~in,ernecine strife Of the COS who
still have hearts filed with bitterness
against all who were their mortal ene-
mics in those trying times, and these
are found among those who fought for
the Southern stars and bars as well as
among those who ba,tled for the stars
and stripes. 1t ought not be that way.
The majority Of those who faced leaden
rain on historic battle fields have an
swered to the eternal roll call beyond
the stars, and brotherly love should he
between those who yet remain on earth.
As a noble and memorable exponent
Of this sentiment, the act Of Captain
Sam Brown, Of Pittsburg, P~earsylva-
mia, is worthy Of mention. Mr.. Brown
was a federal soldier, and a gallant ore.
After the war be lived for some time In
Memphis where he was engaged In bus
mess. Presenting upon his interest in
his former home city, Mr., A. B. Pick
EFT, chairman OF the finance committee
for the Old Veterans reunion, wrote
and asked him for a subscription. Fol-
lowing is Mr.. Browns response:
Yours OF the 9th at hand and noted.
l certainly am In on the subscription
Mr.. Pickett requests and you cat put
me down for $500. which l think is
about my share. or ii the general sub
scriptions bulge out and you need more.
why | must do more too. Wish you had
said what you thought would be right,
but it occurs to me that If all your good
merchants will come up with anything
like my subscription you will have
enough to keep the pot boiling at the
camp fire while the old boys spin their
yarns and fight over the old battles OF
long ago. | can only say, God bless
the old veterans" II they we're mis-
guided they were an honest. honorable
foe and should have a place in the heart
OF every true American"
II there were more men like Mr..
Brown there would be less sectional
strife and more good feeling among
those who in former days stood up TO
be shot by their enemies. This letter
is commended to the consideration OF
some veterans on both sides.

JOHN sHARP's REPUTATION.

An eastern exchange says: Several
gentlemen were recently engaged In
conversation in the room Of a promi-
nent U. S. Senator, when the conversa-
tion drifted 10 the subject OF the
brainiest men in The House Of Repre-
sentative.
''If" said the Senator referred to,
- ''you will go tomorrow to the capitol
and get the first twenty Representatives
you meet, without any regard to their
politics to write down the names of FIVE
OF the brightest men in the House OF
Representatives, / will make a wager
that the name Of John S. Williams, of
Mississippi will be on every list
handed you"

WRIT A WINS.

The famous back tax cases instituted
by State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
against the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
railroad have at last had a hearing
before the supreme court of the United
States. Those cases passed upon by
the supreme court involve about $685.
900, OF this amount the state, and the
various counties and towns through
which the road runs, will receive
eighty per cent. The state revenue
agent and his attorneys get the re-
naming twenty per cent. Other
similar suits are pending which make
the total amount involved about ST.
100000. These suits were brought
for back taxes from 1855 TO 1892, the
railroad company claiming exemption
by reason OF a clause in. its charter
granting such exemption for II certain
number of years. This charter was
granted to the Y. & NJ. V. as an
independent road and upon its absorb
tion by the Illinois Central the revenue
agent claimed that the exemption
clause became null and void. The
highest court In the land has upheld
his contention and the state treasury
will be considerably enriched as a
result.

SPRAYING AND FERTIL1z1NG ORCHARDS

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In order to get the most from the
orchards there is nothingIlike thor
ough spraying every season and lib
eral fertilizing with ashes and COM
meroial and barnyard manures. No
surer protection against bights,
droughts and other injuries a be
conceived. The force of this is not
always appreciated. Some times 1t
is necessary to have a lesson brought
straight home. Well, if n wishes
to learn by experience, take two
orchards or two parts of the same
orchard, and spray and fertilize n
and neglect the other. Keep at it
for two or three seasons, in order to
make sur of the results. If this
does not convince one of the value of
spraying and fertilizing, then you
are justified in giving up both prac-
tees. Some times exceptionally
good seasons will not make the diff
ference between care and neglect of
an orchard very apparent. When
the blights and insects r not around
in the orchards much, and the sea-
son is we'll adapted to produce good
crops of fruits, even the neglected
orchards will show a fair yield but,
then, every orchard in the country
is full, and it is no sign of farming
that n has raised a good crop.
1t is the off season that tells.
When all other fruit trees are in
jured by the blight, insects or dry
weather, then is the time that your
trees will pay the most if full. It is
in the off season that the experienced
horticulturist makes his greatest
profits. He has fruit to sell when
nobody else has, and the high prices
he receives for it make his profits
large and satisfactory. It costs to
fertilize and spray the trees every
season; but the work will pay if
done thoroughly and economically.
The spraying should be so thorough
on every tree and on every side and
part of the tree that no insect is
missed. Only in this way will the
tree be absolutely guarded against
The fertilizing with ashes
and manures should be conducted in
the same thorough and economical
way. Not a load of either should be
wasted. Only SO much as the trees
and vines need should be used, and
some years the soil may get so full
that nothing but a little stirring and
will be needed. We do not

HANDLING DAIRY PRODUCTS IN HOT
WEATHER.

WEAIhEh,
Co-asDordanc of The Progressive Farmer.
A good deal of the success of dairy
ing in hot weather is knowing how
30 handle the milk, cream, butter
and cheese so that there will be no
waste through spelling. A success
ful dairy should have it's liberal sup
DIV of ice, and the dairyman who
fails to make provisions for this is
pretty sure to lose in the end. Very
few diaries are so situated that they
cannot Law in a stock of ice in winter
which will meet all their require
ments in summer. When milk IS
first obtained it needs chilling as
soon as possible and a low tempera-
ture maintained continually. Now,
if we can check the growth of bac-
terra sufficiently the milk and cream
can be kept indefinitely. Yet some
will have their cream spelling with
in ten hours after milking, and they
will attribute their loss to bad luck.
But absolute reliance cannot be
placed on ice. This is not the only
way of saving the milk and cream
that the farmer has placed at his dis
posal. Ice is necessary, but there Is
something else more necessary, and
without which even ice is of little
use. That other thing is cleanliness.
Now, to some the idea of cleanliness
acting as a preserver of milk and
cream may seem a little absurd, but
nevertheless there is nothing so i'm
portant in the dairy as this. When
the cans and milk pals are not thor
oughly cleaned and sterlized from
the last milking tens Of thousands of
bacteria will Turk in the cracks and
corners, and when the new milk IS
poured in they will swarm through
out the mass. The bacteria are the
direct cause of the milk and cream
souring. We chill the milk right
after milking in order to stop their
multiplication. Heat nourishes them
and makes their growth rapid. When
the bacteria are left in the unclean
milk utensils thousands of them are
Immediately mixed with the new
milk, and they begin TO cause the
fluid to sour, no matter how soon
the chilling process may begin.
There are only two absolute meth
DDS of handling the dairy products
successfully in hot weather, and by
observing them one is almost assured
of no loss. The milk should when
first obtained be aerated and chilled.
This should be done as quickly as
possible, and in the most cleanly
manner imaginable. After aerating
and chilling, the milk and cream
should be stored in the dairy where
the temperature is kepta 1t a uniform
~ low figure. Beware of opening
the door to this storage room more
than necessary. Outside draughts
of air will cause a warmer current
to pass over the milk and injure is.
The next requirement is to see that
absolute cleanliness is observed in
the dairy, and that every pan, pail
and kettle is washed thoroughly in
hot water after each milking, and
just before using any one of them
for the new milk sterilize it. This
is simple enough. Put all of them
in boiling water, and then any
germs, bacteria or microbes of air,
dairy room or old milk will be de-
stroyed, making the utensils abso.
lutely fresh and clean.
