THE CONFEDERATE RE
UNION, DALLAS, IN APRIL.

The Confederate Veterans
who go to the Annual Reunion at
Dallas in April via the Queen 81
Crescent Route will be able to
see at the crossing of Pearl River
in the eastern outskirts of Jack
son, Miss, a relic Of the late war.
The Railroad Bridge which in
1868 spanned the river at that
point was destroyed by order of
General T. S. Grant; the piers of
masonry were shot down to a foot
from the surface of the water.
Afterward, the Railroad Co. then
known as the Southern Railroad
built wooden bridge at this
point supported partially by
piles and partially by timbers
supported by the remains of the
old Brick Piers.
This wooden bridge has just
been replaced by a firm steel
structure a few feet to the north
of the old bridge.
The remains of the old Piers
are still in existence, however, and
mark one of the many points of
interest to the Veteran travelling
through Mississippi.

Pushing Young Pigs,

The best food for pushing pigs is
milk mixed with shorts placed in a
trough close to the pen, where the
mother cannot get at it. The little pigs
quickly learn it is for them, and as
soon as they eat it up entirely add a
little cornmeal with it, and when three
months old l put as much oats ground
fine as [ have shorts and cornmeal.
Then soak shelled corn and feed it for
Stops. Make the slop thick, just so it
pours readily; put little salt in it; it
aids digestion and is relished more by
the pigs. AS a substitute for milk I use
oil meal, old process and soak s1op for
twelve hours. 1 can get more growth
from this mode Of feeding than any
thing 1 have tried yet. Pigs, when be-
ing pushed heavily, should have lots
Of exercise.-EXchange

A GOOD MILKER. a general rule the
dairyman must rely upon the common
stock of the country on the one hand
and the thoroughbred bull on the other
for the base Of his operations. 1t is use
less to talk about the exclusive intro
duction Of pure thoroughbreds to meet
the present wants Of dairymen. The
animals would be altogether too ex
pensive, even if it were possible to find
Them. Again, it may be doubted
whether any advantage would be gain
ed in the mere production Of milk over
crossing Of common stock with thor
oughbreds. The grade animal as a
mixer may prove equal to or even bet
ter than the thoroughbred. The only
course for the most Of dairymen is to
start with a good herd Of native cows

be low for cattle, good prices may pre-

some animals reject will also be util-

Roof Window in the Barn

There are thousands of barns scat
tered throughout the country, the roof
space in which is but little, If at all,
utilized, largely for the reason that the
roof space is inaccessible. A barn was
secently seen in which this difficulty
was solved by the insertion of a roof
window similar to that shown in the
cut. This gives chance to unload hay
into the loft from the outside, either
by hand or by hay fork, and where
as the loft before was dark and poorly
ventilated, it is now light and airy.
The style of window that is shown is
much better than the pitched roof dor
mer window that is sometimes put up
on roofs. The style shown admits of
having a large square window in front
especially useful if hay fork is to
be used
The advantage of thus changing a
barn is that the loft can be fiOOred over
and the hay and straw stored in the
second story, utilizing the space clear

Passing of Sailing Banks.

Not many years ago the East river
water front was a forest Of masts.
Today a dozen smokestacks take
their place. Poetry has given place
to the dullest and driest Of prose. An
illustration of the sorrowful pass to
which sailing vessels in the merchant
marine have come was related last
week by the son of once wealthy
sliipowner now dead.
II was present in my youth, said
he. "at the christening of one OF my
fathers barks, quarter of century
ago. The vessel cost about $4,000.
In her maiden voyage to Australia she
cleared a net profit of more than $685.
OOO-more than paid for herself, in
fact.
Not long since, while settling up
NV fathers estate, $50 was offered
TO me for an eighth interest in an
other bark which he had owned. 1t
cost him $4,000 / took the offer. 1t
was a question of taking $50, or pay,

was not empowered to spend money

nroft if I did. l took the cash. New

Hints for the Table,

Candied fruits add delicacy and fla
vOr to many dishes.
IT'S said that the proof the pudding
is in the eating. but half its appetizing
quality is in it's appearance.
Oysters, fried or scalloped and
Drowned, are much improved with a.
ring of toasted oyster crackers.
OF the garnishing dishes too little is
thought in ordinary households; but.
trifiing expense and some care will
make many dishes agreeable to the eye
as we'll as the palate.
Stoned olives, PIN olas, capers, rad
ishes thinly sliced or cut like flowers,
all assist in garnishing salads. Always
harmonic the color of the dish and
it's contents-What to Eat
The large French or Italian chest
nuts, shelled. boiled and served hot,
make a very nice dessert, these be-
twixt and between days. They are
very delicious mixed in a stuffing or
poultry. Boiled, chilled and grated,
they make a novel garniture for lamb
chops.

Care of Roots.

Not only those who expect to sell
their surplus of potatoes and other
roots. but those who intend to use the
careful to guard against the cold
weather. When it gets so cold that
frost can be seen upon the inside of
the cellar walls, it is too cold in the
cellar for nearly all roots, but espe-
cially for potatoes and such others as
may be intended for seed purposes. The
Cooper system Of cold storage places
the proper temperature of potatoes in
storage at 81 degrees, or two above the
freezing point, while carrots may be
kept at 33 degrees, onions and parsnips
at 80 degrees, or just at freezing. We
have seen onions kept well at much
lower temperature than that, but an
essential requirement was that they
should thaW out gradually, ana with
out any exposure to sunlight or artifi-
cial heat. How onions so kept would
have proved if they had been set to
grow seed we do not know, as we never
tested them. But it is said that the po-
tato which has been in cold storage,
and even not lower than "a degrees,
has been so chilled that it is unfit to
use as a seed. It's vitality has been re-
duced, and while we have had sprouts
come from potatoes that were partially
frozen, the yield was not such as to
lead US to advise any one to freeze
their seed potatoes. We are also told
that a long term Of chilling at tenn
perature near the freezing point is
worse for them than an actual quick
freeze.-American Cultivator.

Soaking Corn for Hogs.

The West Virginia Experiment Sta
ton tested the value of soaking corn
for hogs by dividing some cross-breed
hogs into two lots, alike as to size,
breed and sex. They used Western
corn and for one it was ground into
meal, mixed with water and fed as
mash. For the other lot corn was
soaked in water until soft, the supply
being kept up as needed. Both lots
had all that they would eat up clean.
The lot fed on soaked corn consumed
2, 1873 pounds of corn and gained $50
