asks if some one of the writer's Of the
Tribune Farmer will please tell him if
fine sawdust from the sawmill Is in
furious to the ground or crops that
are raised on the ground when used
as bedding for horses and cows? The
sawdust has lain out in the weather
for h last two months. The reply
was as follows: During the many
years that we have used sawdust lib
orally for bedding we have used many
tons of pine sawdust, and never with
anything but the best results. HARD
wood sawdust is preferred, however,
for two reasons-first, wnen decom-
posed it will furnish more fertilizing
material in the soil, and, second, it
being usually finer, absorbs liquid to
better advantage and will become In
corporated with the soil sooner Still,
we hesitate to use sawdusr
from any wood. The pine sawdust
which Mr.. Champlin speaks of is in
admirable condition for use. During
he two months it has lain in a pile
it has undoubtedly heated and dried
out, and by this process the decay OF
the fibre of the wood mas been begun.
1t will thus act more readily as an
absorbent and will the sooner decay
in the SOIL,
If Mr.. Champlin will use the saw
dust first under his horses, then put
the mixed horse manure and sawdust
in the trench behind his cows, in adj
dition to what he may use to keep his
clean, he will save practically
all of the liquid and will have no loss
from fire fanging. If it is not con-
venient for him to mix the manure
from the horse and COW stables he
can prevent injurious fire fanging or
the horse manure by keeping the
heaps leveled and tramped, or mois-
tened with water. The exclusion of
the air is what prevents the heating
in either method. We very much pre-
fer tramping to wetting, however, as
it accomplishes the same result, and
does not add to the weight of the
manure.-G. Walker McKeen, Frye

There have been more inventions Is.
sued for agricultural implements and
machinery by the United States patent
office than for any other class of de-
vices. This accounts for the superior
ity of American farming methods over
all others. These improved imple-
ments and u%p-to-date machinery are
exported to all parts Of the globe, and
their equal is not produced in any 9TH
er country. The Yankee farmer does
not continue using Anticipated machin-
cry when he can procure more mod
ern devices which will assure him a
larger output with the expenditure Of

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.

In order to cur good prices for
calves, as well as any other product
OF the farm, there is a great deal In
knowing just how to put them on the
market. The Chicago Trade Bulletin
gives some very good advice in re-
gard to dressing calves for market,
in which it say hat calves from
three to six weeks old, and weighing
about 100 pounds, or say from 80 to
120 pounds, are the most desirable
weights for shipment. The head
should be cut out, so as to leave the
hide of the head on the skin. The
legs should be cut of at the knee joint.
The entrails should all be removed,
excepting the kidneys: the liver,
lights and heart should be taken out.
Cut the carcass opel from the neck
through the entire length-from head
Of Sc bumgut. If this is lone tney are
not so apt to soul and spoil during
hot weather. Many a fine carcass has
spoiled in hot weather because of
its not being cut open. Don't wash
the carcass out with water, but wipe
out with a dry cloth. Don't ship u n
til the animal heat is entirely out of
the body, and neve tie the carcass
up in a bag, as this keeps the air from
circulating and makes the meat more
liable to become tainted. Mark for
shipment by fastening a shipping tag
to the hind leg. Calves under fifty

liable to be condemned by the health
Officers as being unfit for food. Mer-
chants, too, are liable to be fined if
found selling these slunks, for VIOLA
ton of the law. Heavy calves, such
as have been fed on buttermilk, never
sell very well in the Chicago market,
as they are neither veal nor beef.

tube acts as an inlet at one end and
an outlet at the other, with valves to
regulate the inflow and outflow. Mod
ern, up-to-date hotels and apartment
houses, where every possible want is
provided for, would find this device of
advantage. Connections could be made
with the steam heat radiators to sup
ply heat to keep the bed warm, while
in the hot summer days ice water OF
cold air could be supplied, as is done
in a number of the latest, improved
theaters. The idea is more practical
than appears at first sight.

Sword BaIaam Had in Mind.

General w. w. Blackmar, the new
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, was talking to
a group of soldiers in Boston when a
faker came up and held out for in
spection a rusty old sword.
Look at 1t, gents" he said. "Ex-
anime it close. 1t is the sword what
Lee surrendered to Grant. You can
have it for So"
Go along with you," said one OF
the soldiers, sternly. Go along with
you. You can't fool u.s."
The faker hurried away, and Gen
eral Blackmar said:
THAT was, indeed, an impudent
fraud, wasn't It? 1t reminds me OF
the frauds that were practiced in the
old relic shows that used TO be a fea-
ture of country fairs. In my youth
1 visited a show devoted almost en-
tirely to biblical relics. ] wish yo1
could have seen the faded cloth, the
rusty nails and the brass jewels that
did duty severally for a piece Of Sob
omon's robe, an earring Of the Queen
of Sheba, Absolom's hairpin, David's
sling, and so on. In q place Of honor
hung a sword, and the Snowman said:
This Is the sword that BALKAN was
going to kill his ass with
But l interposed. L thought that

Stewart and Z e Maffress.

Four veterans who saw service on
the gunboat Naiad during the Civil
Val me- at the Briggs House and
clasped hands for the first time since
they were mustered out. They were
DR.. Charles III. Leeman, n. r. Harris,
John Eberhart and Benjamin r.
Watrous. Since the war one has
turned dntist, one merchant, one an
officer in the Pittsburg reformatory,
and the other a farmer. After the
first greetings were over the q~uartette
sought a secluded corner Of the hotel
and began to exchange "reminiscences.
Presently Mr.. Harris told this STORY
Of Quartermaster Stewart and the
Mattress"
ION the morning of June 10, 1864"
said Mr.. Harris, 1--WE weighed anchor
off Charleston and moved down to-
ward Prophets Island to clean our
boilers. We left behind us the gun
boat General Bragg. Hardly had we
got our fires drawn before we heard
heavy firing, and knew that the Bragg
had been attacked. We fastened to
get up steam and started to her as
s~istance. AS we passed Grape Arbor
a concealed battery on shore sent a
shot into us which cut the tiller rope
and left us helpless, so far as steering
apparatus was concerned, and we
began to float downstream and into
the very jaws Of the enemy. AS we
came within range of the rebels guns
they sent a shot into us which tore
away part Of the upper bridge. The
next shot came very near killing Quar-
termaster Stewart. He had been feel
ing badly, so vas lying in his bunk.
When the shot struck it hit the mat
tress on which he lay, tore it from
under him and sent 1t flying up against
the wall, letting Stewart drop down
upon the Stats OF the bunk. When
some Of us who saw the shot strike
ran to where Stewart was we expect
ed to find him dead or dying. Instead
Of that we found him lying there with
his eyes rolling. He was shaking like
q leaf. AS he caught sight of us he
exclaimed: II guess the rebs thought
1 was taking it too easy, so they took
away my mattress"
after that the fighting was very
fierce, and when we finally silenced
the rebel battery twenty-seven shells
had pierced us through and through"

Bull Run. Erected June 10. 1885,"
In a bit of. cedar woods by the rail-
road cut at Groveton there is another
little Union monument I'm Memory
Of the Patriots who fell at Groveton,
August %, 20 and 80, 1862"
There is no Confederate monument
on the battlefield.
Bones taken from the Confederate
lines Of the second battle are buried
on a knoll at Groveton.
As the position Of the armies often
overlapped, it is safe to believe that
Northern and Southern soldiers are
mingled at Arlington and Manassas.
Identification Of the bones at Grove
ton was not difficult, for, while the
Confederate dead were buried In
deep trenches. the Union soldiers who
fell near the "cut," the place Of great
est slaughter, were not given sufficient
burial. Earth was simply shoveled
over the poor corpses where they lay.
The first heavy rain washed away the
earth and exposed the remains. This
statement is made on authority Of
Mrs. Dogan, who, ordered from the
field by Jackson's men as the fighting
began, returned to her farm before
the removal Of all the wounded or the
burial Of the dead.
Reminders Of the lighting are ever
coming to light. Hunters often come
upon skeletons in woods Tar from the
field. These are the bones q men
who, wounded, struggled on and died.
With each spring blowing bones Of
men and horses, bucklcA canteenA,

Dow certain hat the contractors who
are engaged in the work of construct
ing the diversion dam and inlet canal
on the great irrigation project near
this place, for which the secretary of
The interior has set aside 81, 100, 600, win
not be able to complete the work with
in the time fixed by the contracts.
The contractors have been necessarily
delayed by excessive rains during the
summer and fall and by the cold wealth
er which has been experienced at I'M
tervals thus far this winter. This has
resulted in the stopping of work on Il
considerable portion of the inlet canal.
Work was discontinued during the cold
est days, with the intention of resum-
ing again when conditions were more
favorable. but when the weather had
temporarily moderated and efforts We're
made to resume work it WAS found
that the earth a been frozen to such
II depth that it was almost Impossible
to proceed.
AS It result. most of the teams and
laborers on the main portion of the
canal have been aid off. and indica-
tons are that so far as work on the
main portion of the canal is concerned
it will not be rcsurncd again i'll fun
force until the frost is out of the
ground neX spring.
The work. however. is now quite well
advanced. and as the contractors have
been granted an extension of time in
which to complete the work, two
months of good weather in the sprine
viii enable them to practically com
plete the inlet canal. Work is still
progressing with the steam shoNels in
the cuts, and ii is hoped and believed
they can be kept in operation all win
ter.
An accident To the steam SHOVE
which is at work in the big sat neal
what is known us Giles ral<h has ne
ccssitated hauling away .'ne dirt by
team for the present. TIE cable of one
of the cars broke, letting the car rol
back into the shovei. but Fortunately
without doing great damage or cius
ing the loss of life.
The work OF hauling material for tht
completion CT the diversion dam is pro
crossing very satisfactorily, and by thu
time sps1ng opens up all the necessar,
material for its completion will be OF
the ground. About one-half the ON
crete work has now been completed
out it is probable no further attempt a
concrete work will be made until mex
spring. The contractors who have thi;
part of the work IN the great irriga
ton project also have been granted al
extension of time in which to complete
the work provided for in Thea. contract
