General Grants Cigar Case.


Private Harmon Brown of Cincin-
natl, one time military secretary to
Gen. Grant, has in his possession a
cigar and cigar case which Gen.
Grant carried over forty years ago. A
package arrived at the generals head
quarters one day, and Brown opened It
in the presence Of Grant. In the top
Of the package was a box of choice
cigars, and with it was fine cigar
case.
Grant looked at both for second,
and then said, with q smile, "Fill it,
Brown" His military secretary filed
the case win cigars from the box and
handed them to the general. He start
ed to put the case In his pocket and
found his own already there. Extract
ing the old case, which still contained
one cigar, Grant handed them to his
secretary and said, Take the case and
have smoke" Brown took them, but
instead of smoking the cigar carefully
preserved both. He has them now

make the proper growth of clover.
If one wants crop of rye or oats,
then one should leave the clover out,
but if the clover is wanted, then the
seeding of the nurse crop shculd be
very light, only enough to furnish the
necessary protection to the clover. A
bushel or even less an acre of rye OF
oats is sufficient for seeding with the
clover; then if we occasionally pillow
under a good crop of clover we are
adding humus to the soil which will
enable it to do much for future crops.
Introduction of the Peach.
There is an interesting story about
the introduction of the peach into
america more than 200 years ago. In
Maryland there is an old estate called
of the historical Robins family, who
came from England. One of the fam
lily, Thomas Robins, was great
traveller and roamed all over the ac-
cessfble regions of the world. In Per-
STA he found the peach, a fruit then
unknown in England and America.
and brought back some peach stones
which he planted ON the Robins es-
tate. When the trees blossomed the
flowers were so much admired that
the name of the estate was changed
from Arcadia to Peach Blossom. A
stone tablet once gave the date of the
planting of the peach stone, but it
has disappeared in the general wreck
and ruin of the place, the glories
which departed many years ago.

The most profitable growth of any
animal is that made early in life.
When the dry spell comes don't let
the young stock fall off in flesh, for
it is hard to get them started again.
1t is better to pay 81 per dozen for
eggs that you know to be from thor
oughbred fowls than 80 cents a dozen
for scrub eggs that come from your
neighbours hsn-house. But be sure that
you know your dealer.
Can a farmer afford to buy hay? In
deed, no. All through the middle
West prices are from SIC to $50 for
timothy, $50 for pea hay and $12 for
oats straw. A farmer might as well
think of buying eggs and butter.
The Garden Magazine, of Boston,
whose editor knows all about grass,
says the best way to kill the dandelion
and other weeds is to crowd them out
with grass. Lime and land plaster
will help some, by making the grass
grow better.
Emmer, commonly but enormously
called ''speltz," is regarded as fine
crop in the Northwest. 1t was intro
duced by German-Russian settlers, al
though the department of agriculture
has since imported a large amount of
this seed. 1t must be sown in the
spring.
Some Northern farmers have no
ton that grass will not grow in the
South. North Carolina has grown
more hay per acre IN the last ten
years than the State Of Iowa, yet Iowa
grows million tons for every hun
dred thousand that North Carolina
grows. Grass grows all right ia the
South, but the trouble is, farmers
down there keep cotton and tobacco
so close to their eyes that they cannot
see anything else.
Those great schemes for co-opera-
ton among farmers are still being
pushed. AS rule they are advocated
by men who have little standing at
home, and who could not combine
with their own neighbors. Their prop
osition is too large. 1t is like
starting to build a great house with
out making sure that all the little
joints are tight. We have little hope
for those great combinations until
farmers first learn how to combine
with neighbors and friends. The
Grange, or the local farmers club,
may grow into larger society, but
the big one will not build up the small
er one. Education grows up-not
down.

Australian Breeds of Mutton.

Consul General Bray at Melbourne,
Australia, writes an interesting re-
port on lamb and sheep exports from
Australia. Special attention is given
to breeding lambs particularly for ex-
port. The Shropshire breed for ex-
port is increasing and lambs of this
sort are considered very profitable,
their carcasses being plump and
feshy, thick legs and shoulders, we'll
covered with fat, which, however. is
not laid on In excess. They are fair
ly hardy and extremely prolific, fat
tening rapidly and maturing early.
In case Of slump in the export
trade, SO that lambs are left over,
while they are Improbable as wool
producers, they are easily marketable
in the following year as mutton. Con-
sui Bray states that the cross be-
tween the Shropshire ram and half
bred Lincoln eve is the best lamb for
meat purposes, and brings from about
1878 to $475.

Letter In Gun Stock.


Calvin III. Childs, a member of E.
D. Baker Post, GA, G.. A. R., of Clinton,
has a relic Of the Civil War which he
has valued as such for a number of
years, says the Boston Globe, but
which he now considers more valuable
because of recent discovery that the
firearm has hollow stock in which a
Johnny Reb concealed some letters and
mementoes of the times.
John Bennett, of South Lancaster,
at the time Of the war, went to Peters
burg, Va, in search of his brother-in-
law, Horatio E. Turner, news Of whose
injury had been received. He did not
find the man and it was ascertained
later that, being wounded, he was cap
tured and died in the prison pen.
While on the battlefield at Peters
burg Mr.. Bennett picked up Confed-
crate rifle and brought it home with
him. He retained possession of it I'M
til his death, and few years ago his
widow gave the gun to Mr.. Childs.
A few days ago, the latter was en-
tertaining his nephew, Fred Corliss, Of
Palmer, who, noticing a popularity Of
the stock, made an examination with a
screwdriver and secret compartment
was disclosed in the wood.
Included in the contents was letter
dated Richmond, Va, Jan. s, 1867"
as follows: my dear friend John:
How are you getting along? 1 wish 1
could see you. l hope that when we
meet again we shall be one. will
send you my picture and hope I shall
be better farther on. The Yanks are
coming this way, but we will fix them,
SO keep good upper lip. We will
make things ring when we meet
Good-by, love, from your dear Little
Mary Lee" And then the usual fem
mime postscript, by the way, we are
going to send you turkey; we should
before, but the Yanks stole them all,
and 1 tell you If these Yanks come
here they go back right smart in
hurry
Other articles in the cavity were
three copper cents of 1927, 1887 and
1851, some wartime scrip and a pen
ell.

For Fattenin2 Fowls.

In fattening poultry for market be
sure and produce, as nearly as Is pos
sible, the color of flesh desired. Ii
the market demands fowls with white
flesh, feed during the fattening period
q mixture composed Of two pounds
Of ground oats, two pounds Of ground
buckwheat and one pound of ground
corn. Use skim milk for mixing, and
make to the consistency of thin por-
ridge. If a yellow flesh is wanted,
feed rations Of two pounds of ground
corn, one pound Of ground oats and
one pound of ground buckwheat. In
either ration small quantity Of salt
should be added to give flavor.
In the absence of skim milk for
mixing the ration, use water, but in
clude with the ground food a little
meat and a few finely chopped vege-
tables. No matter what the breed
of fowl to be fnttened, care should
be used not to feed too much corn.
for it will not be possible for the
birds to relish 1t long, hence they will
not eat greedily enough to fatten
them quickly and pro6tably
