The Cow to Eliminate.

H. r. Wright: In selecting COWS to
be kept for milking purposes 5000
pounds of milk and 200 pounds of but
ter per annum is q standard which the
profitable COW ought to reach or ex.
ceed. II is plain that the value Of
the cows product must be measured
by the value of her butter added to the
value Of the skinned milk: and that
COW that gives less than 5000
pounds Of milk might easily make
more than 200 pounds of butter or,
vice versa, depending upon the test
Of the milk. A very little labor ex-
pended in ascertainirg which of the
COWS ere supporting their owner and
which ones are being supported by
him. will be q source of great profit to
him A number of late investigations
have clearly shown that cows in the
same community return all the way
from soc to 81 for each dollars worth
Of their feed. Eliminate the soc COW.

The Park Of chieleamauoa.

The Park Of chjehamauoa.
From the observation tower On
Snodgrass Hin Tits upper platform
seventy feet high) the entire park Of
Chickamauga may be seen. and an ex-
cellent idea gained Of . battle, which
has not IN equal in the annals Of war;
though now tourists in tallyhos and
citizens In carriages and traps Of
every description ride where cavalry
charged and cannon roared. The
bugle's sound breaks again upon the
ear. but It is the blue uniform only
that answers, not Joe Wheeler's gray
clad men nor A. p. Stewart's invinc-
ible riders. The troops of the Seventh
ride and drill. The regimental band
makes martial music. On the great
parade the scene is now all life and
beauty in lieu Of death and desolation.
Chickamauga presents interesting
features to the student Of military his
tory. No battle field in the world is
SO accurately marked. yet no battle
field In the world ever presented or
ever viii present the confusion of such
swaying, fighting lines, the face to
face. hand to hand conflict of its
ground. This absolute accuracy is due
to the careful cooperation of the par
ticipants on both sides. North and
south have united In preserving q
correct history Of the encounter. And
to the skill and ability of the courteous
Everard e. Belts. engineer In charge,
much is also due.
Leaving the park you may take
R0secran's route to Chattanooga,
where he entrenched himself after the
battle, and where Grant succeeded to
the command of the army. Fine old
trees In different parts Of the town
shade the homes marked ''headquar-
ters" Of the various officers. With
this exception the foliage all over
town and suburbs is Of Few growth.
For this We are indebted to the SOL
dier boys. They swept town and for
ests clean In that bitter cold two
months between the battles of Chicka-
mauga and Missionary Ridge.

fearful fields of all the war, Indiana
raised her starry banners high. She
had thirty-nine organizations repre-

fired the last shot: she captured and
held the only Confederate battery that
met that fate; she at one point saved
the Union army; she gave OF her most
distinguished sons and many went to
their last rest upon this field: she lost

Strange Battle Experiences.

strange battle experiences.
Governor Tod" said the colonel,
organized as many new regiments in
his two years in once rs any other
state executive. He contributed great.
" to the good of the service by ap.
pointing to the new regiments omcers
who had seen service in older regi-
meuts. For example, Capt. Opdycke
of the 41st Ohio was made colonel
of the 125th Ohio. which became
known in our division rs Opdycke's
Tigers. And they were good fighters.
That reminds me that one of the Ii
gers received what he called q Jolt,
that put him out of the Tiger business
for half an hour.
This was at Buzzard's Roost, May
II, 1864. The Tiger had just raised
his Springfield rife to his shoulder,
and after taking aim was just ready
to pull the trigger when a musket
ball fired from . rebel gun entered the
muzzle Of his own rifle. The effect
was to paralyze his arms and his rife
dropped to the ground. On the same
day julius Byers of Co. X. SD Ohio.
was struck by . musket ball which
passed through both elbow joints, the
shock to the brain producing instant
death. The doctors regarded the case
as one Of the strangest in their ex
perience.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

In the creamery the care Of skim
milk By the farmers is Of prime i'm
portanee to the creamery managers
Il n all very well for the patrons to
say that il not the creamery mana
gers business to tell them how they
should handle their skimmilk, but II
is nevertheless his business to . very
considerable extent The manner Of
handling the skimmilk will directly
Affect the quality Of the sweet and
whole milk delivered to the creamery.
This may b put down as . constant
principle. When one hundred patrons
haul home skimmilk In their cans
some Of them are morally certain to
leave It In the cans for hours and to
imperfectly wash out the cans after
the skimmilk Is removed. Unless this
skimmilk has been pasteurized, IL will
be developing bacteria during all this
time Of waiting. II the cans are al-
lowed to contain skimmilk ten or
twelve hours the good and bad bac-
terra viii be multiplied BY the mil
lions. The cans will be washed out,
but indi6erently, and will then be
used to convey the new milk. On the
way to the creamery this new milk
Will be given . starter" from the
seams Of the cans where the sour, bit
ter or putrid milk bacteria had lodged.
II out Of the hundred patrons only
two or three farmers thus handle their
milk the damage il yet great. The
milk Of all is contaminated by the
milk OF the few careless ones. The
bad havors ripen in the cream and
the favor Of the butter Is "Off."
So 1t is the business of the cream
cry manager to see that the skimmilk
II properly taken care Of. Some have
suggested that at every creamery where
whole milk Is received there should
b IN arrangement for feeding the
skimmilk to swine instead Of sending
It back to the farms. This is done in
some places and that successfully. IL

Pear Trees and Blight
A non-bligAting pear tree u . thing
greatly to be desired. Blight is more
common On the pear tree than on any
other tree bearing largo fruits. 60 d.
structive has It been that IN many
states farmers and orchardists have
almost despaired Of raising pears prof
itably. This n particularly the case In
illinois, Wisconsin and adjacent states.
Some Of the pear growers In the
states named declare that every bush
el Of pears they have sold has cost
far more than they were able to get
for It At every meeting In which
peargroWing - discussed the Que0-:
ton OF blight u the most engrossinG
one. II some one win 1nd Q proven
tive for pear blight he viii revolu-
tionize the pear-growing business in
the United States.
There are . good many experiment.
ers at work On the problem. Some are
attempting to develop Seeding pear
trees that shall be blightless. Others
are endeavorlkg to ind seeding pear
trees that have been able to resist the
blight tin old age, which II considered
. good promise Of blight resistant
properties In trees developed from
their scious. Among pears that have
held out great promise Of being blight
resistant are the Seckel. the Lincoln
and the Sud6uth. II was for . long
time believed that the Seckel was ab-
solutely blight proof. A man in Indi'
ana some years ago told the writer
that he was about to set out $1,000
Seckel pear trees. ~ he knew they
were absolutely blight proof. He ex-
pected to make . fortune OF them.
Though this immunity was claimed for
the Lincoln pear tree. It II reported to
have blighted quite badly In some 10
calities. The Sudduth yet remains
to be tested, over wide areas. It has
proved 10 be blight proof in its native
location. In SangAmon county, MI
;nois. where the parent tree has stood
for upward Of 80 years. Some Of the
trees developed from its scions have
stood the test for about 60 years. We
have strong hopes that this pear may
prove to b absolutely blight proof.
Up to the present time we have heard
no bad reports concerning It. II demon
strated to be absolutely blight proof
It win prove . great boon to pear
growers.
The work Of producing seedlings
should also be carried on extensively.
Out Of the millions Of seedlings grown
may come at least one that win be
hardy enough to resist al attacks Of
fungi.-Farmers' Review.
