Some TnrecOgnized Heroes.

"Some fellows Of war times said
an old locomotive engineer, who were
not soldiers saw hard and dangerous
service. These were the engineers and
firemen who ran the army or soldiers
trains. There was J. T. RedmOn, for
example. He was an engineer on the
Little Miami Railroad in 1868, when
John Morgan raided through Indiana
and Ohio. On the 14th of July he was
in charge of a train carrying 300 re-
cruits to Camp Dennison. The train
was held at MorrowtOwn to await de-
velopments as to Morgan's whereabouts,
but. the recruits becoming impatient,
Redmon volunteered to run the train
through They had gone only four
miles when Morgan's cavalry fired on
the train. Redmon and his fireman
opened the throttle, dropped to the foot
board. and the train went through the
Rebel line. Distractions on the track,
however, derailed the engine, killed the
fireman, and crippled the engineer.
Neither Redmon nor any other locomo-
tive engineer. so far as [ know, ever

Cream left to itself will become sour
spontaneously. This is the result of
the growth of Tactic acid bacteria,
which feed upon the milk sugar, and
as a final process convert it into a Lac
tic acid. Other forms of bacteria are
always present in cream some have
little or no effect in the ripening proc
ess while others, if allowed to de
velop, produce undesirable and often
obnoxious havors. To cultivate and de-
velop these wild germs is called

In Germany some interesting expert
ments have recently been made in fine
protection of orchard trees against
night frosts by means of fumigation. A
part of an orchard in bloom was thus
successfully guarded against an April
frost by the dense smoke of naptha-
lene. But the experiment was very ex-
pensive. fifty Kilograms of napththalene
being consumed by seven flames in one
hour. Later new preparation of chem
icals was tried, producing a compare

Winter Wheat.


The Importance of the winter wheat
crop becomes more apparent when we
consider that the annual production Of
the country is from 100,000,0O0 to $780,
100000 bushels greater than the annual
yield of spring wheat, and that about
twentyfour states and territories grow
winter wheat exclusively, while only
eleven grow spring wheat, and eight
produce both crops together, Some OF
the advantages in growing winter
wheat over raising spring wheat are
more convenient distribution of farm
work; the conservation Of soil fertil-
ity by the growing crop during the time
the land would otherwise be bare;
better development of the crop, as it
generally natures before the dry and
hot weather of summer, and the pro-
duction usually of heavier yields. The
average yields per acre in the states
growing winter wheat only are not
generally as large as In the states pro-
ducing spring wheat exclusively, but
the better yields, as a rule, in the re-
gions where both crops are grown are
obtained from winter wheat.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

Anthrax and Earth Worms.

From recent experiments it is Ger
tain that earth worms are responsible
for conveying the spores and anthrax
from various buried carcasses to the
surface of the earth and thus bringing
about a reinfection. This process of re
infection was urged by NJ. Louis Pas
teur, but without success.
