reatine Flour al the Bic Mills.

1t is surprising to note the difference
that exists between the various brands u
flour. 1t all depends on how the flour
is milled and on the kind of wheat from
which it is made. Flour made from hard
spring wheat will give from twenty to
forty more loaves OF bread per barrel

of gluten and absorbs more water. The

MAJOR ANDERSON render the fort"
was the reply of the commandant, Maj
Robert Anderson, to the messengers Of
Beauregard. II shall await the first
shot and if you do not batter me to
pieces, l shall be starved out i'll three
days"
There We're at the time of the at
tack upon Fort Sumter no provisions
but a barrel of salt pork. But Maj.
Anderson had determined to fight it
out to the very last before he would
surrender.
When his ammunition was so low
that his men could only fire once in
every ten minutes, and when he had
realized the total futility of his OPP
position to the fire of the confederates,
he agreed to surrender if all his men
should have the privilege of saluting
the flag, of taking it with them and
of being placed on board the govern
ment vessels outside Charleston har-
Dor.
When the news of the fall of Fort
Sumter was carried through the land
the news of the logged courage of the
commandment of the fort was also car
ried: the noble determination of Robert
Anderson did as much for the cause of
the nation as a half-dozen victories;
for valOr has ever been greater than
strategic ability and patriotism than
military proves.

GINSENG CULTURE.
Sensible and Timely Warming Given
by Secretary Wilson.


by Secretary Wilson.
Secretary Wilson very wisely tells
the farmers that ginseng culture is a
delusion and a snare and advises them
to let it alone says the Practical Farm
er. But the leyel-hcaded farmers do
not need to be warned against these
crops that some make a furOre over
every now and then. The men who
rush into a crop of which they know
nothing are generally the men who are
unsuccessful with the crops they do
know something about. What we need
is not new crops, but better farm
ing with the old ones. The men who
are always ready to turn their atten-
ton to these odd crops that some one
tells them there is a fortune in are
generally the men we cannot get to
attend the farmers institutes or to
take and read a farm paper. They
find that farming as they have been
doing It does not pay, and instead of
trying to learn how to make farm
ing pay they imagine that by the grow
ing of some new thing they can re-
deem all the folly and waste of the
past.
1t has been well said that all the
ginseng that China imports could be
grown on one seventy five-acre farm
if it grew as the promoters promise
and what is TO be done with the crops
that are being planted and nursed
through a series of years, if they all
grow, it is hard to say. Doubtless
there are some making money out of
ginseng but they are those who are
selling the roots and seed to those
who would seek a fortune from the
sale of the roots to the Chinese. No
matter what rosy tales these people
get into the papers, we urge farmers
to stick at their farming with the
crops they are familiar with and let
those who want to get fieeced rush
into ginseng and other side crops that
simply interfere with good farming
and in the end probably will be a fail
ure.

you of.
All Of us had had only middling
luck. None Of the party had made a
big strike in the way of finding mug

Of. We were making fair wages, and
that, in the long run, is better than
making big haul at one time, and
then laying off and running through
the whole of it in less than months
time, as l have known plenty of fell
lows to do
One day the camp was all astir like
a hive of bees which somebody had
thrown a rock into. One of our chaps,
fellow by the name of Joe Garland
( had made a ten-strike. He had hit
upon the biggest nugget of gold that
had ever been found in the region of
/ Tear-Shirt. 1t was good one, worth
couple of thousand at least, and the
boys all gathered about 1t with greedy
eyes. They envied Joe his good luck;
still they We're all glad that he had
got it. A more delighted fellow than
he was you never saw. He Rugged
The chunk and petted it, and it seemed
that he would never tire of teastlng
bis eyes upon it,
After the first excitement was over
Joe was left to his treasure, and the
boys turned 10 digging again, each one
hoping that he might soon be as fortu-
nate as Joe had been.
Joe had half mind to set off for
Frisco with his treasure at once. The
express only ran once week, and it
lacked three days of the time of going
again. He was afraid that in some
way he might lose the nugget before
it was got to place of safety. Still,
| don't think that there was In the
camp a person of whom he was sus
picious. 1t would have been hard to
have picked out fellow who was not
called all right
Joe carried his nugget to the camp,
but he would not stow 1t away with
the rest of the treasure, He would
hide 1t for himself If the rest was
was going to save his.
Two or three times a day Joe would
leave his work and go and see that
the nugget was safe We used to tease
him about it, and tell him he was los
ing flesh at the rate of ten pounds
day, and that if the treasure was not
sent away soon, there would be moth
ing left of him but skin and bones.
The third day after the finding of
the treasure, about the middle Of the

CAPTAIN COGHLANS COMPANION

DEAR-ADMIRAL COGHLAN, Comman-
N dant of the New-York Navy-Yard, is one
of the fun-loving officers of the navy good
story is told of him and witty lrish1nan EN-
ployed as one of the ticket-choppers at the
Staten Island ferry
1t is a custom of the ferry company, when
selling tickets for a passage on the boat and
on the elevated road on Staten Island, to
give to the passenger ticket with an attached
coupon, the ticket to be taken up at the ferry
entrance and the coupon to be retained for the
railway ride.
One day, when Admiral Coghlan was only
a Captain and in command of a cruiser then
living off Tompkinsve, he purchased his
ticket and coupon, and not being familiar
with the route, as he passed through the
ferry entrance he dropped both ticket and
coupon into the ticket-boX.
The ticket-chopper, observing the mistake
and not knowing Captain COghlan from one OF
the wealthy residents of Staten Island, as
he was in civilian clothing, looked up and
said in a good-natured sarcastic manner
"Misther ger tleman, what did ye dhrop
both tickets in the box for? Sure yeH
have to paw another fare when We git to the
island"
Captain Coghlan at once realized he had
made mistake, and as he knew that he
couldn't get the coupon, the Irishman having
chopped" it down, he replied in a good
humored way and with wink of his eye
Zone was for myself and the other was for d
blessed fool"
well, yer can't get it back, fer I've chopped
it in; it'll have to do fer both of yez, re
sponded the tcket-chopper.
Captain Coghlan passed on to the boat
paid the extra fare on the railroad and then
went to his ship The following day he made
the trip down at about the same time, and
the same ticket-chopper was at the box, but
as the officer passed through the lrishman
noticed that he tore off the coupon and dropped
only the ticket in the box, and he looked up
with a smile and said:
HE isn't wild we this time, is he?"
mo, | left him at home to-day as a punish
ment for his costly ignorance" responded
Captain Coghlan, and then he handed a cigar
to the ticket-chopper saying. Have one
on me"

the ways of the unadu1terated aborigines
in those days.
The following day more than two
hundred Sioux were on hand with stacks
of good robes to trade. Sitting Bull
came with them, and was in a clever, even
jolly, mood. Nothing was said on
either side about the running off of Bon
homme's mules. The incident was APP

races with Bonhommes men, and appar-
