LOW COST GREENHOUSE.
Of Particular Value to Those Living
on Rented Land, ns 1t Cnn he
Easily Removed.

A serviceable greenhouse may be
erected at low cost by using sashes
which may be accumulated by any
one doing extensive hot-bed work.
such a house can be put up by any
handy man, and the sashes made to
do eight instead of three months
service during the year.
The greenhouse 1 use is a three
quarter span, 1914 feet wide, running
70 feet northeast and southwest and
heated by four lines of four-inch
hot water pipes, which had previous
ly done duty as boiler tubing. All
the frame is of two by four inch
lumber. The roof rests on four rows
of posts set on two by four inch
hemlock sills. These posts are sawed
off to give the roof a pitch of about
20 degrees, or drop of two feet for
each six-foot sash.
Plates are nailed on each row of
posts and gutter boards wide enough
to cover the top of each wall. The
sashes of the roof are fastened to the
plates by screw bolts, and the joints
and peak covered by painted canvas,
or, roofing paper. Every third sash
of the middle row serves as a venti-
lator, by being hinged at the top end.
The back wall is double boarded
with building paper between, and an
occasional hole is sawed out to ia

may be changed from one window to
another. In coolest weather, plants
should be set in the living room to
prevent freezing. The uses and ad-
vantages of such window garden
are many. 1t is a good place for
foliage plants to develop their beau
tful forms and colors; seeds may be
prepared for outdoor planting early
in the spring; dying or backward
plants around the house can be kept
together for individual care, and
carpets and the surface of tables
around the house are no longer de-
stroyed or marred by flower pots

the ordinary house gives sufficient
heat for moderate weather, and a
small lamp provides necessary
warmth for quite cold spells.-C. B..

A PRAYER BRIGADE.
startling Incident of n Protrncted
Peniod of suppLication for Water
in AndersonyiIIe.

Among several thousand others
Dave Day was prisoner at Ander-
Sonviile, says the Denver News. Since
an occurrence which he relates in the
prison he has had great faith in the
power of prayer. The little sluggish
stream from which the prisoners
were supplied with water became un-
fit for use in 1863, at the time Dave
fell INTO confederate hands, and they
were not allowed to get water from
outside. He says the suffering thou
sands organized what they called
prayer brigade, consisting of about
500 men. Dave was member.
Among his comrades he was noted
more for his bravery than his piety,
and they argued that a good soldier
must of necessity be a good Chris
tian away down in his breast, where
sits his "bosom's lord" Dave was
elected as lieutenant of one of the
praying squads, who were on Two
hours and off four, as in regular
picket detail. He says the boys went
to work with a will and made bust
ness of praying for water, never di-
yerting either to the right or to the
left. They prayed from early morn
ing until their shadows heightened
out across the prayer ground to meet
those of the setting sun. The prayer
brigade was joined by volunteers,
until at length nearly every miser-
able prisoner in the cruel stockade
was down on his knees praying for
water.
For % days the work was kept up.
never backslider showing up in the
force. 1t was water or death, and
death seemed to look over and mock
the solemn scene. But still they
prayed. Some went crazy-stark,
raving mad-while many died on
their bended knees! The dead-wagon
came in every morning and hauled
away the poor victims-dying for
want of water, and while praying for

REvIvING YOUNG TREES.
A Hint from Australia which Might
Be Tried with Success in the
United States.

When young trees have been out
of the ground few days, either in
transit from the nursery or other
wise, and not properly cared for, the
bark becomes shrunken; and, al
though the roots may be in tolerably
good condition, there is great danger
that the tree may die after it is
planted. This may be prevented by
burying the trees wholly for u few
days. To do this, dig trench as
wide as the tree is high, and about
eight inches deep at one end and 16
inches deep at the other, and long
enough to hold all the trees to be
buried, when laid in the trench, five
or six trees on the top of one an
other. Place the trees in the trench
with the roots at the deep end of
it, laying them straight and packing
them closely together. But do not
pile them up above the level of the
ground. Now cover the trees, tops
and roots with - inchs to Is inches
of earth If the ground be very dry,
a few buckets of water should be
slowly spriniled over the soil after
the trees are buried. In four or
five days they must be taken out, and
transplanted Immediately; care be-
ing taken to cut back the tops. We
have known trees thus buried when
taken from the pit to look as fresh
as when dug at the nursery.-Aus-
tralian Country Journal.

Cause of MottIed Butter.

Notified butter is sometimes
caused by the salt not being well
worked into the butter. What are
known as white specks may be due
to setting milk in shallow pans. the
cream drying ON the top and becom-
ing hard. Another cause may be the
crosm standing too long, curd being
formed in the milk, which becomes
mixed with the butter. This hap
pens mostly when the milk is in deep
pans, and straining is the best
methodof preventing the difficulty in
both cases.

good work went on. They were
Knocked from the outside, but the
prayers went on until the very stencil
of the awful prison was turned into
incense, floating away to Heaven,
which seemed to deny their appeal.
On q beautiful June morning, while
the boys were forming for prayer, a
great stalwart skeleton of prisoner
mounted a platform in front of the
brigade, and shouted out at the top
of his shattered voice: "There is no
God!' The men stared, speechless,
at the speaker, who repeated the ter
rible sentence, which was drowned
amid a volley of prayer and song.
Over there, on the highest ground in
the prison, at this moment burst
forth from the parched earth a
stream of sparkling water, which
was named "Providence Spring" and
to this day its waters continue to
flow, and seem to say to the trav-
elcr as it did to the poor prisoners:
aye that are ,athirst, come"

A dispatch comes from Creston,
Ia, that Hazard Dunn, living a short
ways west of there, has recently lost
13 head of yearling calves from too
much feeding on dry and musty fod-
der. All the calves but one that were
taken sick died and reports come
from other parts of that country
that there have been many more cat
tie dying there from the same
cause. The wet weather has been
such that much of the fodder this
season is unfit for feeding except in
small quantities, and then the closest
watch must be kept on the cattle
fed. 1t now appears that the enor-
nous loss of cattle reported from
the east end of that county some
weeks ago is attributed to this same
cause.

a lieutenant and five men, wearing
the uniform of union soldiers, crept
out of some of the houses of the
town where they had been hiding,
and delivered themselves up. When
they made their appearance before
Gen. Jenkins the following conversa-
tion occurred, relates the American
Tribune:
Jenkins-Hello! who are you, and
where did you come from?
Lieutenant-We belong to the
union army, or did belong to it, but
we didn't wish to fight any longer
against our southern brethren! So
when our forces left here we stayed
behind, and to-day we came our to
be paroled.
what did you say about southern
brethren? If I thought 1 had a
twenty-fifth cousin who was as white
livered as you are, l would kill him
and set him up i'll my barnyard to
make sheep own their lambs. I'll
show you how parole such pules as
you are. You are too miserable to
be paroled in military style"
So saying, he ordered a detail Of
six men and sergeant-"good lusty
fellows with thick boots"-who pa
rolled the recreant federals to the
west border of the town, where the
paroling process ceased, and the de-
tail and the crowd returned, highly
pleased with Jenkins mode of parol.

souri, and was mighty hungry. He
went up to a little house that stood
all by itself and where he spotted a
man sitting on the stoop smoking a
pipe. He told the smoker that he'd
be grateful for bite to eat, and he
was ready to pay for it.
Imagine Grants surprise when
the smoker drawled out that Gen.
Grant, of the union army had in
passing by earlier in the day with
some of his men dropped in on him
and had eaten all that he could get
hold of. Why said the man on the
stoop, Grant had a fine appetite, and
he didn't leave anything untouched
except pumpkin pie, an L s'pose he
didn't gobble that cause all his in
nerds were choked up 'afore he saw
it. That pies at your disposal, my
friend.
Grant saw at once that an officer
who had preceded him on the march
with small body of men had passed
himself off as Gen. Grant and had
Jared well by doing so. Grant bit his
lips and, handing the farmer n 25-
cent piece, muttered: You keep that
pie till | send for it,
We'll, at the parade in camp that
evening the adiutant read to the
troops drawn up in line an order
which said:
"'Lieut. Wicllfeld having on this
day eaten everything in Mr.. Sell
vidge's house at the crossing of the
Trenton and Pocahontas and Black
river and Cape Girardeau roads eX-
cept one pumpkin pie, Lieut.. Wick
field is hereby ordered to return
with an escort of 100 cavalry and eat
that pie
THE order was signed u. S. Grant,
Brigadier General, commanding. OF
course that order had to be obeyed
and that pie was eaten by Wickfcld.
''Now, if anyone can say, after
hearing that incident, that U. S.
Grant had no sense of humor | don't
know what humor is"

Preparing Soil for Orchards.

Many an apple orchard proves to
be failure because it is put on land
without the ground being put into
suitable state of preparation to
bear an orchard. Drainage is one of
the first requisites for successful
orcharding. This is especially true
on heavy clays. 1t is an error to
suppose that hillsides do not need
drainage. We have known gradual
slopes that required drainage to per-
NIT the water to drain away from
the roots of the trees in a reason
able time after heavy rain. Some
soils are of such texture that the
water will be held around the roots
of trees for days after heavy rains.
Such conditions must not be allc we'd
to remain.-Farmers' Review.
