Airs Fair In War.


my conscience has always hurt me
just bit about little thing that hap
pened at Helena. Ark, during the
war;" said q white-haired veteran,
while musing over some of the side
lights of the COS, ''and do not mind
telling you in a confidential way that I
have prayed over it good many
times. Price was skirmishing round
in the hills back of Helena at the
time. The Confederate lines were in
bad shape. They needed provisions,
clothing and few other things. There
was a certain merchant in Helena
who had been doing q deal of Snug
Cling, and I had been keeping pretty
we'll up with him. Here was my
chance. told him he could sell
scme goods down below town IL he
could get out of Helena with them,
and I offered to help him do IT. He
had large yawl which he has pressed
into service before, and it did not
take me . great length of time to con-
vince him that we could use this yawl
to advantage. He fell right into the
plan. One night we loaded the boat
down with IN assorted cargo. clothing,
food. and other things which the mer-
chant had In stock. At that time you
couldn't hardly get away from the sol.
diers, but we managed to ge: out into
the river without making much noise.
It was . very dark night.
When we had reached the current
of the stream I suggested to the mer.
chant that we lay down in the boat
until We had drifted down below the
city. We allowed the current to drive
us several miles below the city, in
fact, - far down rs I wanted to 10,
for I knew exactly where the Confed.
crate soldiers were camped. We
pulled into . small bayou and started
to tie up. Suddenly . squad Of men
swcoped down on us and placed US
under arrest. Then they began to un.
load the beat. The merchant did not
seem to care 50 much about the 5000
worth of goods he had in the yawl and
which the soldiers had confiscated. He
told me We we're in great danger of

ramed to watch US until daylight.
About .. m. nudged the merchant
and told him the soldiers were asleep
and we could get away. At 6rst he
was afraid of being shot, but I per-
suaded him that It was safe. and We
never cav . man run
90 in my life, and was so tickled al
the while that I could scarcely keep
from letting the cat out Of the bag.
up to this day that fellow feels
that he owes his life very largely to
me, when I had deliberately laid the
scheme to rob him OF . b0atload Of

Conn, civil war veterans have year by
year on Memorial Day placed . wreath
to the memory Of Private George
Waterhouse. The records show that
he was shot in 1864 while fighting for
tie Stars and Stripes in Louisiana.
He left IN aged father and mother
and younger brother. Frank. when
he went to the front with the Twenty
fourth Connecticut volunteers In 1863.
The regiment was assigned to Gen.
Banks command and was in the Red
river campaign. Frank Waterhouse,
since the death Of his parents, has
kept up the old homestead. He was
aroused by q knock at the door one
night last week.
Frank Waterhouse, let me I'M"
called . voice. shaking with emotion.
Il am your brother George"
Frank opened wide the door. De-
spite the silvered hair of the man who
entered Frank recognized the big
brother to whom he had waved good
by thirty-eight years ago, and their
hands clasped. George said that he
had been left for dead on q Louisiana
battlefield, but some negroes found
him, and. observing that life was not
extinct, they changed his uniform for
one of gray. took him to cabin. and
nursed him back to health. He
changed his name ana drifted to Tex
as, where he started q cattle ranch and
became prosperous.
Later he settled in Pennsylvania.
There came to him recently . longing
to see his old home. He will spend
several weeks with his brother. and
will then return to Texas to inspect
his ranch.
Wearing Gen. Lees Socks.
The discipline of Gen. Lees socks
was an institution" peculiar to our
hospital. Mrs. Lee, 1t is well known.
spent most of her time in making
gloves and socks for the soldiers. And
she gave me, at one time, several
pairs of Gen. Lees old socks SO darned
that We saw they had been well worn
by our hero. We kept these socks to
apply to the feet of those laggard "old
soldiers" who were suspected of pre-.
ferring the luxury Of hospital life
to the activity of the field. And such
was the effect of the application of
these warlike socks that even . threat
OF it had the result Of sending Q man
to his regiment who had fingered
months in inactivity. 1t came to be
q standing Joke in the hospital, in
finitely enjoyed by the men. II poor
wretch was out of his bed over .
week he would be threatened with
Gen. Lees socks" and through this
means some most obstinate cases were
cured. Four of the most determined
rheumatic patients. who had resisted
scarifying Of the limbs, and what was
worse, the smallest and thinnest Of
diets, were sent to their regiments
and did good service afterward. With
these men the socks had to be left on
several hours, amid shouts of laugh
ter from the assistants" showing that
though men may Withstand pain and
starvation they succumb to ridicule.-

Temperature in Cream Ripenino.


Oscar Err: In the ripening of
cream We prefer to separate cream
very rich, about 30 to IS per cent, and
thin. down to % per cent. with a clean
favored starter. theoretically we as
sumo that the more OF the tainted
skimmilk We can &c: out Of the cream
and replace 1t with q starter. the bet
ter results We will have. This plan
bears out well in practice. A certain
temperature for ripening cream seems
to have little effect on the favor, pro-
vided the cream Is ripened above 80
degrees and below 30 degrees F. The
ripening Is. however. much FASTENED
by high temperature. A satisfactory
temperature is from 65 degrees to 20
degrees for summer. and from 7e de-
grees to so degrees for winter. The
cream should be stirred occasionally
during the ripening process. This is
essential for several reasons. IL
aerates the cream, insures eyenness in
ripening. prevents the surface from
drying-which is one of the causes of
mottled butter-and furnishes FREQ
oxygen to aerobic germs. which seem
to play part in the ripening process.

Storing Seed Corn.
A Communication from the Iowa

A communication from the Iowa
Experiment Station says:
Owing to the extremely vet season
followed In many sections BY IN early
frost, the problem Of seed corn for
1908 IL Of unusual importance. These
who save seed corn from their own
fields should take unusual precautions
to thoroughly dry and store In . well
ventilated place. There are many diff.
ferent methods Of storing seed corn.
but the experiments which have been
conducted by the station indicate:
1st. That II Is not advisable 20
harvest immature corn and place In .
warm room. rs there Is danger that
the corn will begin to eerminate . .
result Of the moisture and warmth.
ind. That corn intended for seed
should be allowed to Thoroughly ma
ture on the stalk or in the shock BE-
fore husking.
3rd. That the best results are Oh
tanned when stored in q dry and thor
oughly ventilated place.
4th. That cold does not injure the
vitality of corn when It is thoroughly
dried AMI kept dry, but on the other
hand, II allowed to gather moisture,
freezing will reduce the vitality and
may destroy 1t entirely.
5th. That II Is unwise to store seed
corn In barrels or boxes. rs It will gath-
er moisture. Corn often contains .
great deal Of moisture. even though It
appears to be thoroughly dry. This Is
especially true during the fall and
early winter months.
The one thing that seems to be the
most esential in the storing Of seed
corr is thorough ventilation.

After Separating.


J. ". Newman: Every butter
maker should see that his separator
runs smoothly and with regular speed,
and that as near rs possible to the
speed intended for that particular ma
chine. which Is usually stamped ON
the bowl It il not wise to run any
separator much faster owing to the
danger Of injurins the bearings or
bursting the bowl As soon as sepa-
ration II complete the separator
should be thoroughly washed. get.
ting every particle out of the crew.
ices. and then have 1t thoroughly
blown out with live steam, SO that
al parts coming In contact with milk
or cream will be perfectly sterile
The heat absorbed by the bowl will
then cause all dampness to vaporize.
thus leaving all parts dry and free
from danger Of rusting.
Immediately after separation the
cream should be cooled down to
about 20 degrees. Always have ready
. good pasteurised skim-milk starter
to put into cream when separation is
finished 50 rs to set up the desired
fermentation, and to overcome the
evil effects Of any injurious forms of
bacteria that may have been in the
milk. Cream Is ripened to improve
the yield. favor and keeping quality
Of the butter.
A good starter Is q boon to sue
cessful butter making. 1t hastens the
development Of Tactic acid. allows the
cream to be ripened at . lower tenn
perature. and to . great exten. con-
trolls the favor of the butter. II is
important that the starter has q good
favor.

In England. ct al. have fully estab-
lished the scientific facts: ID that

Is actually accomplished by microscop-
ic organisms called bacteria which live

plants. there are also different species
of nitrogen gathering" bacteria.
Many investigations have also been
conducted to determine the amounts
of nitrogen which can be fixed by diff
erent lesuminous plants. but these ex-
perimeEts have actually been carried
on In pure sand cultures under condi-
tions which necessitate that all nitro
gen which the legumes secures must
be obtained from the air. There Is
Of evidence that legumin-
GUS plants secure some nitrogen from
the air when grown in ordinary soil.
ii they are provided with the bacteria.
Indeed. the presence Of the tubercles
upon the roots is one of the evidences
that free nitrogen is being fixed, and
evidence Of that fact is found |
in the beneficial effects Of clover and
