The attendant who enters the stable
to milk COW with a pipe in his mouth
is not the proper man to perform that
duty. Milking should be regarded as
the cleanest and most important work
on a dairy farm, as milk not only alb
serbs odors, but is also quickly af-
fected by any foreign substance.
Hundreds Of horses are ruined every
year because they are not given watel
when they require it. There may be
regular times for watering, but rules
cannot safely be made to govern the
duty On warm days, when the horses
perspire freely. they give off from
their bodies large quantities of moist
ure, and should be watered often even
if allowed but a small quantity at a
time.
The young animal pays more than
the adult because it grows and in-
creases rapidly; the younger the ami
NAL the lower the cost of production.
A pig narrowed in early spring and
marketed late in the fall will give a

man being assessed according 20 his
pay. Up to this time we had badgered
the newer regiments good deal, insln-
uating that the government had to sup
ply the men with milk instead of hard
tack and bacon. A few days after the
sutler business had been settled we met
the Sixty-third Illinois, and some of the
boys shouted, Hello, kids; where are
your COWS? Instantly came the an
swer, We left them in a suffers store
down at Jackson to cut their eye teeth
And for once the men of the Twentieth
had no remarks to submit. A hundred
times after that they were greeted with
the cry, 'Sutler, sutler; who pays the
sutler?' And they ceased to inquire aft
er the cows"
THAT story said the Colonel, ere
minds me of one the boys used to tell
of Colonel Alexander Won Schrader, Of
the Seventy-fourth Ohio. The Rev.
Granville Moody accepted the colonelcy
of the regiment on condition that some
thorough soldier be made Lieutenant
Colonel, and Won Schrader, who had
seen twenty years service in the Ger
man army, was appointed. He was
strict discfplinarian and was given to
emphatic use of tangled English. On
one occasion he insisted that the men Of
the Seventy-fourth should march in the
deep mud of the road instead Of taking
to the fields on either side, as did the
men of other regiments, saying, Keep
to the road, men, keep to the road like
soldiers
I'm the meantime, Won Schrader let
his horse pick it's way along the road
side path near the fence. So absorbed
was he that he did not notice that the
path he was following ran out at the
top Of hill and that the fence came
sheer to the edge of the steep incline.
The boys below were watching the
Coloners absent-minded progress, hug
ging themselves in glee. Finally, as the
horse stopped abruptly, the Colonel
realized his danger and looked about
dazed and angry. Then the men thirty
feet below yelled in derision, Keep to
the road, man, keep to the road like
soldier
'Then Won Schrader arose in his
wrath. His own men were yelling at
him, and he in danger. He rose in his
stirrups, and, shaking his fist at his
noisy regiment, prepared to hurl at
them his bitterest words. One of the
officers at headquarters was in the habit
of saying, when surprised by some I'M
looked for development: BY criminy,
the longer a man lives the more he finds
out This came to Won Schrader's
mind and he roared: The more lives
the longer finds, by criminy, oud.' This
increased the tumult below, but as Won
Schrader's horse became unmanageable
dozen of the boys scaled the high
bank, threw down the fence and turned
the horse into the field. After that Won
Schrader could not pass any regiment
of the division without some one shout
ing, The more / lives etc."-Chicago

CITY Troops We're The Tous hest.

81 noticed an article concerning the
mortality among the German members
of the G. A. r." said Captain William
7. Haskell, of Washington, D. c., to
a reporter, land was struck by the
facts it presented. l have not hitherto
paid any attention to this question,
but since the matter has been called to
my notice 1 recollect that the deaths
among the German veterans Of my ac-
quaintance have been frequent during
the last few years Another point in
regard to Grand Army mortality which
[ have studied with some care is the
fact that the death rate of those who
originally came from the country far
exceeds that of the city men. 1t is
generally supposed that country life
is conducive to health, but as far as
the records of the War Department
prove anything, the contrary is the case.
''When in the Army of the Potomac
1 served in regiment recruited in
.he city Of New York. Stoddard's Yer
mont brigade was in our division, and
it was a remarkable fact that those
stalwart mountaineers, men Of large
size and great muscular development,
were far more subject to disease than
our city boys, and died like sheep in
the Chickahominy swamps, while the
death rate among the city regiments
was very low comparatively. Since the
close of the war, and especially during
the last ten years, the survivors Of
the country regiments, at least in the
East, for l know nothing of the West,
show a much higher mortality than the
metropolitan troops, and sickness is
much more frequent. l have heard
from French and German officers that
the same state of affairs prevails in the
armies of those countries, and from all
these facts I am inclined to believe that
the general impression that city life is
unhealthy is entirely false"

THIRD PART.

How was il with Silas alone in his
own private apartment his heart
filed with emotion as he sat medita-
ting upon the past, present and fu-
ture-the future of his own BELOVED
child-the broken link in the chain
of his lifelong happiness
John Hawkins, thought he, that
white handed. pale-faced Jim Dan
dy dude of village chap, who didn (
know the use of hoe from a shovel,
nor a plough from a cultivator, that
poor Sails hopes should be centered
in such one for Mays future. He
thought of how he had toiled to rear
and to educate his only child. II
Robert Reed was a little rough in
his manners, &c., he was daily ut
his post and well prepared for set
ting up for himself and something
more. And May could get used to
his ways and learn TO love him, and
in the end be far happier. To sleep
was out of the question. He rolled
and tumbled all the night long, wish
ing for chanticleer's signal, though
he dreaded for day TO come, little
thinking what the morrow would
bring forth.
The clarion notes Of chanticleer
was the sweetest music Silas had
heard for many years. He sprang
from his bed with the agility of a
cat, hustled around and found cold
snack and was the busiest farmer in
the neighborhood that morning.
Madam Dean was also up bright
and early. She and May alone took
small collation. and went about her
plans for dinner, and dinner il
was. Silas was SD busy that he had
to be notified, and when he entered
the dining-room was struck with
amazement.
why. Sal,'' said he, '.I've not
sat down TO such a dinner for five
and twenty years. What's up, Sal ?
Expect company"
"Yes, Mr.. Reed, perhaps. /"
mo. no, Mr.. Hawkins, you mean.

Dean.

'Hawkins-R Reed -Haw kins Reed
-Hawkins-Reed- Reed Keed-
Hawkins I" thundered Silas.
''Pishl Some one at the door,
mother" said May.
Reed, guess, mumbled moth
er Dean, as Silas advanced towards
the door by the way of the last lick.
well, bless me ifhere haint Andy
Peters own boy, Sal. Walk right
in, Andy, and make yourself at home.
Extremely glad 70 see you. Mamma
and sister, Andy; you hahn Z forgot
emf"
~ hope not, pap; never forget
such good friends !"
Hawkins and Reed were dropped
for the present, and mother Dean
was glad that she had unconsciously
prepared such d nice dinner.
Andrew Peters was an adopted
son of Mr. and Mrs. Dean, his pa
rents having died, leaving him an
orphan in his infant years, now
grown 70 manhood, had unexpected
~ come to pay thema visit He was
OF a mechanical turn Of mind, and
after seven years apprenticeship
was now master Of his trade. Pc
ters soon became the delight Of the
home circle. Silas took him in con-
fidence, and among other things told
him Of all that had happened regard
ing Mays young gallants, both as .
imeans OF restoring peace and bar.

SO, Johnnie Hawkins wants our
girl, Silas, and what do you think
Of IL - said madam Dean as she was
busily engaged in drying the dishes
Silas was busily enjoying his pipe,
from which volumes Of smoke went
forth, as he sat meditating how best
70 evade her question. Silas was q
kind husband, bur he could be lit
tie blunt when things did not ex-
actly suit him. But the time had
now come. their views being 50
widely different, fhas silas for ouz.s.

dering ON indignation. Mrs. Dean
was not to be evaded. Again she
put the question more forcibly, ad-
ding that as wife and mother she
wished To consult him in matter
that should alike concern them both.
Silas, laying aside his pipe and wip-
ing the perspiration from his brow
as he arose from his seat with all
the dignity of judge, quietly asked
Mrs. Dean IF the gentleman in
question was her choice. and did
she mean to ask his consent in the
matter ?"
IF he were my choice, Silas,
don I see how you could object to
him.
Il asked, madam, did you wish

I'm sure that Johnnie Hawkins
would be good catch for anybody
in our hundred. He's industrious.

and looks on himself, and
i asked you plainly, madam, do
You wish my consent?'

telligent, clever young man as John

girl could refuse him. For my part,
l should be but too glad il May

tion: please answer yes or no?"

inc ! see IN now comm from church

six and forty year ago. How could

both happier also" wrote madam
Dean.
Silas glanced at the volume, as he
called it, scratched his head and
asked why in the world did she
use SO many words when two or
three letters would have been suf-
ficient. y
Madam Dean was a good house
wife, but she, too. could be little
sarcastic when she had o mind to.
Silas had at first evaded her ques.
tion, and she decided to get square
with him. Besides, she was deal
doubtful and shy, and wanted to
face up the young gentleman as best
she could in round about away, in
order to draw Silas in compliance
with her own views.
