COY TELLS OF
BALLOON TRIP.
Shouted Happy New Year" from
the Clouds LANDED in a Corn
field Enjoyable Trip.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. '3:AAfter a
highly successful aerial flight of
eighty miles, j. c. Mccoy and Alan
r. Hawley, members of the Aero Club
of America, arrived at union station
yesterday morning, twenty hours af-
ter their departure from st. Louis in
the big racing balloon, L'Orient.
They came from Pearl, ILL.,, which is
thirty-five miles east of Louisiana,
Mo.
The aeronauts describe the trip as
one of the most delightful they ever
made. They landed at 4.30 o'clock,
Tuesday afternoon in a cornfield near
Cliffdale, Calhoun county, ILL.,, and
then drove and walked over muddy
roads to Pearl, a distance of eight
miles, arriving there at 11.30 o'clock.
Mr.. Mccoy said: "On Wednesday
we passed over St. Louis at an alti-
tude of about 1000 feet. Soon after
ward we assembled above the clouds
and remained there for some time.
We then assembled to an altitude of
1900 feet and for two hours hung
between upper and lower strata of
clouds. We did not see the Mississippi
when we crossed it, nor did we see
any of the bluffs on the Illinois shore.
1--WE next saw a party of men husk-
ing corn in a field and decided that
it would be a good plan to descend.
The balloon came to earth easily and
was quickly debated. We landed on
! George Refers farm. The men in
| the cornfield were kind to us and rem
| dered us every possible assistance in
| packing the balloon for shipment.
During the entire trip we threw
| over but three bags of ballast. We
could easily have stayed up all night
| If we had been prepared for it.
"Along the journey we amused mr.
selves by shooting Happy New Year
tphone. We must have frightened
! some of the natives of Calhoun county
out of their wits. No doubt some of
them thought the angels were flying
through the air and shouting New
Year greetings down.
I'VE did not attain a higher alti-
tude than 1900 feet, and the coolest
weather we encountered was thirty
nine degrees above zero.
1.-THE gas proved to be perfect for
ballooning. The test satisfies us that
we have made no mistake in selecting
st. Louis as the starting point for the
great balloon races next fall

20 q poor widow. whose husband died
fighting for the confederacy, and
whose son was also "a the army I
fed the roasted skin TO my horse. and
be ate Ct in double-quiok time.
This reminds me of a fayorite story
Gen. Bankhead Magruder used to tell
about a dinner he had while he was
serving In the army Of northern Vir-
ginia- That army was not much more
than 10000 strong, / reckon. and it had
to do some right sharp work to stand
off three wellfed, well-equipped fed
eral armies. each Of them nearly twice
as large. Well. one day Magruder
was out reconnoitering with his stan
In the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across likely looking plan
tation.
He sent his orderly of on the jump
to present his compliments to the mis-
tress Of the mansion and tell her
that he and the officers were powerful
hungry. WoAid she be kind enough
to give them some dinner? Of course
she sent back Eord she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow-haired young
soldier right after that, and he tells
her the same thing. It seems he was
on his way to join his regiment, and
was covered with dust and looking
tired to death.
My young friend, I'm doing my
best to get up a good dinner for Gen.
Magruder and his stan. Get down and
come In, and If there is anything left
after they get through you shall have
It, said the hospitable lady.
The young chap was hardly out OF
his teens. and 1t happened that he
came from one Of the finest families
in Virginia He dismounted and went
into the house. Just naturally he
knew how affairs were conducted in
the olc plantation households, and
when Magruder and his stan arrived
he did some pretty tall scouting
around the dining-room. As soon as
dinner was announced he marched In
at the head Of the procession and took
a seat next to Magruder. The geaera
looked at him pretty savage for min
ute. and said:
Sir, do you know with whom yog
are diningg

Not all COW keepers deserve the
title dairyman.
The milking shorthorn was not
much in evidence at the large fairs
this fall.
After the milk is once contaminated
no amount Of "doctorirg" will restore
1t to its pristine purity.
In Cuba the COWS are driven from
house to house and the desired quaint
ty Of milk is drawn in the presence Of
the purchaser.
Pure, wholesome milk is a food rel
ished alike by infants, invalids, and
strong men The impurity Of the
product is what men most object to.
Many farmers living close to cities,
large or small, could develop profit
able business in supplying fresh milk
to the townspeople. Try it and be
convinced.
A cooperative creamery run on a
large scale is a money maker for its
patrons. Dairymen should pay more
attention to the principles of co-opera-
tion. Cooperative creameries and
cheese factories are excellent indica-
tions OF the superior intelligence 81
the communities in which they are
found.
We are glad we do not live in a city
and be compelled to take chalk and
water as a substitute for real milk
On the farm we can have the rea
article in any desired degree of rich
ness. One reason more milk is moi
consumed ia large cities is because
people cannot get the unadulterateC
article.

The milk within the cows udder Is

dirty COW, in a dirty, dusty stable, by
a dirty man with dirty hands and
clothes is sure to be unclean. From
the COW there falls a shower Of hair,

Of chaff and straw, and particles, II
not larger pieces of COW filth. The
mixer of uncleanly habits, may con-
tribute collection of disease germs

content Of milk produced under such
conditions may be imagined.
It has been found that on an aver
age a loose hair, falling into the milk
from the cleaner parts Of the cow, car
