Coffee of Castor Beans.

At GEORGETOWN, Ga, during the arm
istice between Generals Johnston and
Sherman. we lay on our arms and were
to be furnished rations from rebel
town two miles away, with orders to
stop foraging. l was at the time real
hungry soldier, and persuaded a COM
rade to 60 with me on an independent
scout, contrary to orders, Of course,
but I was Just determined to get some
thing to eat. We found a big wild hog
in a swamp, weighing nearly ZOu
pounds. which 1 killed with my gun.
We each took a hunk of bristler and
FASTENED back to camp. The next morn
ing I thought l would go down to an
old house and barn near by and see II
I could find some beans to roast for
coffee. something we had not INDUCED
in for a long time l was overjoyed to
see in the cracks of the old barn floor
some white beans and with my camp
knife [ dug out a right smart lot. L
hurried back to camp, roasted and
pounded them fine, and with my old

every man of US heard:

His manner and his words thrilled

To Make Good Corn Drag.

Any farmer handy with the ordinary
tools on a farm can make corn drag
attachment for his cultivator that will
pay for itself many times in one sea-
son, if properly used, says an expert
enced agriculturist. The common farm
harrow is too heavy and unwieldy for
narrowing corn after 1t is up, except
under the most favorable conditions of
soil and weather. To make, get oak
one and one-half inches by three. Make
in two sections of thl &c bars each. Let
each section be long enough to cover
all of space between two rows. Brace
same as other harrows. No. 60 wire
spikes make very good teeth. Set teeth
a little slanting and as close as will
work in your soil without clOgging. At
tach to beams of corn pillow. Arrange
so that the drag will cover all the
ground when you wish by connecting
the two parts. You can, with this ar
rangement, adjust the drag to suit.

The recognized formula for bordeaux
mixture for use on potatoes is six
pounds of copper sulphate, blue vitriol,
four pounds unslacked quicklime and
fifty gallons of water The copper sui
phate is dissolved in one barrel and the
lime in another. Add to each twenty
five gallons Of water and then mix
thoroughly. When to be used strain
through a wire strainer, preferably
one of brass.
Spraying should be started when the
potato plants are six inches high and
be repeated every ten days or two
weeks, according to the weather,
throughout the growing season. If bugs
are to be destroyed, add one pound of
paris green to each fifty gallons of
bordeaux mixture, but the bordeaux
mixture should be used alone until the
bugs are noticed.
When it is figured that the cost of
spraying does not exceed 81 an acre,
and it is often less, while experiments
have proved that the value of the crop
was increased three or four times the
cost for spraying, it certainly pays and

Old soldiers could tell you of many
cases in which men who were supposed
to be brave and stout hearted behaved
like frightened schoolgirl at the first
sound of the enemy's guns. [ have
story of that kind to tell you, but it
is of boy, not of man, and you will
read it with no less interest when l say
that it is true.
l was captain in the army during
the Civil War, and among the members
of my company was a boy Of sixteen,
who had obtained the consent Of his
parents to enlist, that being necessary
ON account of his youth. He was a
strong, sturdy fellow, full of life and
spirit, and obedient, intelligent and
faithful in the performance of his duty
l noticed him often, chiefly because
he was the youngest member of the
company, and also because he showed
great aptitude i'll learning the duties
of a soldier. He seemed to take a posi-
tive interest in every thing connected
with camp life, and l frequently told
myself that Johnny Bates, as he was
called would soon win promotion and
distinction.
One night this little idol was shat
tered into a thousand fragments. We
had been ordered to the field, but had
not yet had an engagement with the en-
envy. A soldiers first battle is a try
ing episode in his life. l believe that
seventy five men out of every one hun
dred would turn and run at the first
vOlley from the enemy were it not for
the moral support given by the presence
Of their companions.
But Johnny Bates gave way before
his first battle came. Our regiment was
encamped we'll toward the front of our
line, and we knew that the enemy was
not far off. In fact, we were gradually
approaching each other and a great
battle could not be delayed much longer.
About - o'clock one night the long
roll was sounded and our regiment was
reused and soon formed into line of
battle, where we were to await further
orders A sentinel on one of the out
posts had fred his gun and we thought
the enemy was upon us.
That was my first experience of the
kim, too. and | shall never forget the
strange feeling that came over me.
There we stood in the darkness and 81
lence, not a man daring to speak, wait
ing for the expected order to march to

the night attack Here and there, down
the line, l heard man cough, but no
other sound broke the stiffness.
Suddenly, right behind me, l caught
the sound Of boyish voice whimpering
and crying. Amazed beyond expression
l turned and saw Johnny Bates. He
was crying like baby. When l stern
ly ordered him to stop, he burst out
worse than ever, apparently overcome
by uncomfortable fear. He begged me
most pitifully to allow him to leave the
line, claiming that he could not possibly
stay there; and that he was i'll, weak,
tremDIing like a leaf and utterly una
BILE to perform his duty as soldier.
1t never occurred to me to pity the
boy; on the contrary, | blaZed out at
him with all the vigor of a man fairly
beside himself with Indignation and an
ger | told him that if he did not stop
his blubbering instantly l would have
him shot like a cowardly puppy. That
threat, or my manner, perhaps both,
had the effect of quieting him. In half
an hour or so word came that the alarm
was false and we were ordered back to
our quarters
The next day l sent for Bates to
come to my tent When he entered his
face was full of shame and repentance.
That softened me somewhat and [ de-
termined to lead him on to frank
expression of his feelings. Let it be
sufficient to say that fear Of the ex
pected battle had wholly unnamed
him and turned him into a baby. He
did not believe that he was coward,
but he had found it impossible to sub
due his fear as ne stood there in the
darkness waiting for the fire of the
enemy's guns.
I really felt CORY for the boy, but
for the sake of discipline l had to pun
ish him and I did so in the presence of
the company. l don't mean that /
thrashed him as a school teacher does
a refractory pupil, but l imposed a
task that carried some degree Of ig-
nominy with it.
A week passed, and we had not yet
had the conflict that we had been eX-
pecting. Then, one evening, between
supper time and taps" orders came
for us to be ready to move against the
enemy early the next morning. WE'LL
we "moved'-and got into one of the
hottest battles that were ever fought
Before our part of the line the en-
emy had thrown up breastworks of
earth, and from behind them they
poured volley after volley into our

Making Fruit Pulp.

Hard fruits, such as apples auc
pears, are cut into small pieces With
out being peeled or having the cores
or seeds removed, and placed in cold
water containing 1.5 ounces of salt to
the gallon to prevent discOloration. The
fruit is then boiled to pulp ana
strained, a yield of about one-fifth the
original weight being obtained. Plulns
and soft fruits are treated in practical
ly the same manner With plums the
strained pulp is sweetened with about
As pounds of sugar to each hundred
weight of fruit and the boiling contin
ued until the pulp is thickened sutti-
GENTLY to hang from the spoon without
dropping. With raspberries and straw
berries the boiling must not be pro
longed and the pulp need not be
strained through so fine sieve as in
the case of plums. The chief points to
which care should be devoted are the
processes of boiling the fruit. The first
boiling should be continued only SO
long as the consistency of the mass is
such as will enable the pulp to pass
through the sieve for strainfng-

A Battle with the Sea.
News.

No engagement of the Civil War was
carried on with more heroism and en-
durance than that fought by the Forty
ninth United States colored troops af-
ter hOstiiities were over. The Magazine
of American History contains an &C
count of the tussle in which the black
soldiers bore themselves so bravely. The
steamer Merrimac loaded with cotton,
left New Orleans for New York, carry
ing, besides her regular passengers,
thirty officers and nine hundred colored
privates.
For several days all went we'll. Then
the vessel sprung leak, fires were
dampened and the alarm spread. 1t
was found that the iron supply pipe
through which the water for the con-
denser was taken from the sea was
broken, and the place of leakage could
not be reached. The passengers were
panic stricken. One small, fat German
went about wringing his hands and cry
ing:
"Ach. We are at the bottom of the
sea! If we gets pack to New Orleans
will dey gif me pack my mOnish"
The water gained fast, The only hope
lay in keeping afloat until a vessel
could be sighted. The colored troops
were pressed into service, and proved
themselves the heroes of the occasion.
A line of men was established from the
hold to the deck, and buckets were pass
ed as rapidly as hands could move. On
deck another line stepped back and
forth with Well-trained military tread.
The work below was most eXhausting.
The men at the bottom could not hold
their position more than three minutes
at a time. They were blinded and half
strangled by the smashing sea water
and bruised by the Jumps Of coal which
dashed about.
But no one faltered, and high above
the noise rose the clear, sweet voices
of the workers, now singing an army
song, now a CHEEKY negro melody. The
music brought new hope to the hearts of
the passengers. Hour after hour the
men worked and sang, and the sea did
not gain on them.
Two days passed, and the drinking
water gave out. Then they could no
longer sing, and their parched threats
were eased only by scanty supply of
oranges and lemons. But still they
worked. On the third day the lights
OF a steamer were seen only half mile
away. Rockets were sent up, and with
great difficulty, on account Of her wet
ammunition, a gun was fired. To the
dismay of all, the steamer passed on.
Quickly the soldiers formed a line once
more and the wearisome labor began
again.
After sixty-five hours Of bucket pass
ing a steamer was sighted which re-
sponded to the call for help, and the
water-logged Merrimac was towed into
harbor.
The men who had sung so cheerily in
the midst of hard labor and in the face
ct death were thoroughly exhausted,
but they had not lost their light-heart-
ed gaiety.

The Moth Pest.

Westward the gypsy moth takes its
way. 1t has caused millions of dollars
worth of damage in Massachusetts, has
escaped to New Hampshire and Con-
necticut, and now the invasion is turn
ing toward New York State. This in
teresting information is conveyed in
letter Of warning just issued by E. P.
Felt, State Entomologist.
The brown tail moth is a more recent
Introduction, and, unlike the gypsy
moth, flies readily. 1t is not only
very destructive leaf feeder, but the
barbed hairs of the caterpillars cause
very severe irritation upon the I'M
protected skin.
Two rows of warts down the back of
the gypsy moth caterpillar make it
easily distinguishable. 1t is about two
inches long and the ten anterior warts
are blue, the twelve posterior red. The
gypsy moth will eat anything in the
tree OR shrub line, and on the slightest
disturbance leap on passersby and cling
to clothing.
Brown tail moths have white spots
on each side and a single pair Of red
spots near the tail. They prefer wild
cherry, pear, apple, maple, elm and
white oak leaves, and have barbed
horns, which, breaking off or blowing
from the cocoon, produce an intoler2ble
irritation the drown tail Itch
Caterpillars of both species, says Mr..
Felt, may be destroyed by spraying
with an arsenical poisoning, preferably
five pounds Of arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons of water, though the gypsy moth
caterpillars, especially when nearly
full grown, are quite resistant to pois-

stroyed by treating the egg masses with

weeks indicated that keeping off the
flies did not affect the mIlk yield. As
somewhat similar results were obtained
by experiments at the Connecticut Sta
ton. it seems fair to concede that the
injurious effects Of the fly pest have
been exaggerated During the fly time
the feed in most pastures is growing
poorer every day and the COWS natu-
rally shrink then, but it is probably II
mistake to blame the flies for much of
the shrinkage. For all that, it is
worth while to use the mixtures to
keep off the flies for the peace and
quiet obtained in the stable for both
the COWS and for the milkmeu.
