A Rnmor from Shiloh.

During Tie war it was not safe in
Kentucky for Southern sympathizers
to rejoice over Southern successes A
certain old secesh from the hills of
Tate's Greek in Madison County had
been frequently admonished by Judge
Turner, of Richmond, KY, that If he
was not more cautious he would land
in Camp Chase or some other Northern
prison. One day the Judge observed
his old friend glancing anxiously into
his office as he passed and repassed the
door. Calling him in, the Judge asked
him what was the matter. well, y
said the old man, "Jedge, if you'll lock
your door I'll tell you.'' After assuring
himself that there were no listeners he
proceeded:
"Jedge, / learn as the rebils an the

Farm Separators.

Butter makers kick on farm separa-

of the butter makers are making live
ly kick against the introduction of the
farm separator. They might as well
kick against a stone wall, for kicking

one thing that will check its rapid in
PRODUCTION, and that Is better skimmilk
from the creamery. Farmers are get
ting more and more determined to
raise good calves, and they propose to
do this with separator skimmilk. If
the butter makers don't clean up their
pumps, pipes and tanks and give the
skimmilk~a thorough pasteurizing the
farmer is certain to lend an attentive
ear to the farm separator agent, sep
arator will be installed on trial, and
you can count on it's staying. 1t will
then be too late to protest, for after
farmer pays 500 for separator he is
quite apt to find a factory that will
take his cream. Dairymen Of expert
ence have found that the best of calves
can be raised on good separator milk,
and every intelligent butter maker
knows how to return it in good condi-
ton

What an awful disappointment it
must be to calf to wake up some
morning and find it's mother missing
and no warm breakfast waiting. and
how disguised it must feel when the
farmer comes in little later with a
pail Of skinned milk, straddles the
calf's neck, inserts his finger in its
mouth and tries to convince it that
drinking is the proper method of feed
ing from that time on. Happy would
be that calf il the farmer would pro-
vide it with the feeding arrangement
here shown, and happy would the far
mer be if he did not have to waste his
time in teaching the calf to drink. The
calf seems to get along fairly we'll un-
til the farmer undertakes to withdraw
his finger and make the calf go it
alone, but then rebellion rises and an
upset pail Is the result in some cases.
Once introduce the calf to this device
and he may bunt to his hearts con-
tent without upsetting the milk. The
arrangement consists of reservoir,
suspended from the wall, with tube
leading to a block underneath, on
which is mounted a rubber nipple. AS
the nipple Is screwed on the block it

killing Brush.

We see much said in our Western ex-
changes about the value of the AngOra
goat to destroy brush. If that is their
strong point we do not want them. 1t
used to be the fashion to advocate
keeping sheep to kill weeds and briars.
They will surely do that il kept on
them, but we never knew any one to-
start with sheep with that as his main
incentive, who did not come to the
conclusion that there was no profit in's
sheep. If we want good wool and NUT
ton the sheep must have something be-
side briars to feed upon, and II they
choose to take few briars Or weeds
as sort of condiment with the other
food, we'll and good. So we think IL
Angora goats are kept to kill brush en-
tirely they will furnish but little mo
hair and poor flesh. Give us the old
plan for killing brush, NOW in July,
burn in August, and then letsheep pick
few of the tender sprouts it they
want them the next spring.-Amerhcam

pose that land must grow poor when

all income for the sake Of keeping up

about the composition of the soil, we
know that productiveness depends in
great degree upon the presence of or

stable manure or commercial fertiliz-
ers. The ideal condition would be one

Care of Horses.

Before the horses are put to work
very hard in the spring after winter
of comparative idleness their grain ra-
tons should be gradually increased,
and the work should not be too hard or
the days too long at first, and this last
is good rule for man as well as beast,
but the man should have sense enough.
to look out for himself and his team.
See that the harness is properly fitted,
clean and oiled until'it is soft and plia-
bic, that it may not chafe anywhere
and thus avoid sore shoulders and sad
die gals. A little water at the middle
of the half days work will always be-
.felished and may prevent drinking too
much at one time and thus lessen the
danger of colic.--A merican Cultiyator.

Lawn Grass.

While most of the seed stores sell
special lawn-grass mixtures, which,
perhaps, contain half-dozen or more
varieties of grass seed, we doubt if any
of them will give better results than to
mix one bushel of Kentucky bluegrass,
a half bushel of clean redtop, or a
bushel in the chaff, one peck of sweet
vernal and one pound of white clover
the above being amount for one acre.
The bluegrass is earlier than the red
top, and the redtop resists summer heat
better, while the fragrant, sweet vernal
is good both early and late. Have
the ground thoroughly pulyerized and
made rich with about six hundred
pounds lawn dressing per acre, which
has more nitrogen and potash than the
usual superphosphates, and SOW in
spring as early as the ground can be
well worked, or sow in August We
prefer the artificial fertilizer to the
barnyard manure for lawn, as being
free from weed seeds. The above mix
ture is also good one for permanent
pasture.-New England Farmer.

posed them to cold and hard usagel
The box stall or pen is better for the
breeding animal than closer cenfine-
ment, and as much good food as they
will eat better than scanty ration, but
it should not be what is called carbon
aceOus or heating and fattening food,
but such as to produce muscle and
growth of frame. Out-of- door exercise
is needed, but that does not mean
standing still in a cold wind or storm
until chilled through, or being turned
out to drink ice water to chill the in
ternal organs and the unborn offspring.
Massachusetts Ploughman.
Early Pasturage.
The first grass in spring is watery and
has very little nutrition in it, partly be-
cause it is usually to be found OH the
low lands, where the better grade OF
grasses do not grow Yet we used to-
like to get cattle and sheep into it as
soon as it was large enough to give
them fair bite, as such grass is poor
at the best, and almost worthless after
it gets tough and harsh. But we never
depended much upon it as food for
them, excepting for its succulent quail
ties. We fed as much hay and grain
the morning before we let them into
pasture as If they We're to remain in the
yard Then we took them in early, and
at night they were fed at the barn
again. The green grass loosened the
bowels, and perhaps we had little
more milk, or little thriftier growth,
but it made the change from hay to-
pasture more gradual, and they seemed
to relish it, especially if the roots were
all gone, as they usually were likely to-
be at that season. That was before the
days of the silo, and if we had one
we'll filed we might think it better now
to feed ensilage, and let the bog grass
grow to be used as bedding, or to be
used as a covering for strawberries or,
spinach, or as a mulch for some other.

Time hes not quenched yet
The fire that's in her.

Flows pure Arabian blood
mats from her mothers side
Old Blackhawk Morgan was her sire,
Hence her great endurance

When the war broke out
My Will, respondin' to the call of dooty,
Went with the boys in blue
TO defend our country's dag,
And with him Black Beauty.
His sweetheart-as he called her;
No soldier e'er found one truer,
And she never had a rival
When bearing Grants dispatches,
Straight into rebel ambush rode our Will,
And, but fer this good steed
He must hev fallen by rebel bayonets
She fer an instant stood stock still,
AS though to comprehend, when like

She leaped the hedge of glitterin' steel,
And shot away like mad.

While in the thickest of the fray,
She rescued him, by fghtin'
Back the enemy with tooth and hoof,
Thus keepin' them at bay
Till the tide of battle turned.
Three poor fellows fell
Before her steel-shod hoofs.

There was blood upon her hide
And bade the surgeon hasten
To attend his sweetheart first,
Though he'd bullet in his side.
You see this scar across her breast
Twas from a rebel saber.
When the war was DER and ended
She bore him home again.
But for this gallant mare,
Who loved him like woman,
He'd hev been among the slain.
No wonder that she's dear to us,
And seems like she's human.
But foe was on his track.

From which he shortly died,
And she bore him to the grave.
From that day to this, though It's thirty

When I'm gone, and when she dies
Bury her beside me-" And it's my duty.
