.Doin.. the Confederates.

The tendency OF the Northern soldier
to do Confederate is we'll illustrated
in the practical jokes that were played
on some of the southern farmers. One
farmer drove into Union camp with a
forty gallon barrel of cider, which he
sold by the quart to the men over the
side of his wagon He was astOnished
to find that his barrel was empty after
he had sold only about twenty quarts,
and on investigation he discovered that
while he was engaged in peddling the
cider over the side board some soldiers
had put an augur through the bottom
of his wagon and into the barrel and
had drawn the rest off into their can
teens. Another trader lost the contents
of a barrel of brandy which he had
stored in a shanty over night, in sim
liar manner, while several farmers con
cluded it was in vain to go to the Yam
kee camp with wagon loads of apples
or other fruit, unless they had a de
tachment to guard every side Of the
wagon, for while they dealt fair over
one side. their stock would disappear
over the other. One who had suffered
in this way came to the conclusion that
''the Yankees could take the shortening
out of gingercake without breaking the
crust''-Detroit Free Press.

Poultry Notes.

Clean the droppings from under the
roosts frequently.
Grit is the hens teeth. Provide her
with plenty of it, so that she may di-
gest her food.
If you expect the hen to lay freely,
YOU must feed her the kind of stuff
that will make eggs.
Buckwheat is excellent for both
young and old poultry.
A laying hen should have constant
access to lime or gravel.
Feed only what the hens will eat up
clean. Any kind of feed left from one
day to another is apt to start disease.
Watching the incubator carefully is
the way to get the best hatch. little
carelessness is sure to produce disas-
trous results.
Charcoal or burned corn occasionally
is a good conditioner for the fowls 1t
prevents indigestion and other diseases
to which they are heir.

Making Butter on the Farm.

Making Butter on the Farm.
There are two prime essentials in
making butter on the farm a profitable
have plenty of pure, cold water, and
then good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out Of every
ten farm homes is they are not equipped
to take care of milk and cream. When
one goes into this work to make
money, better put up a milk room,
where pure water may be had from
pumping or from a spring Concrete
floor and walls may now be built as
eheaply as with lumber, and it is
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here. A barrel churn and a butter
maker will be necessary in turning out
uniform product 1t looks easy
till the butter comes. and sailing, and
the trick is done. That is where so
many fail. The cream must be churned
at the right temperature; it must be
neither too sweet nor too sour. Work
ing and sailing butter to secure uni
form color and flavor is very nice art.
Don't try to learn to do it infallibly
in two or three weeks, but by all means
don't practice ON your customers. That
means loss. 1t is better to wait two or
three months before you seek custom
ers. And, before you ship, find out
how your commission man or private
customers prefer to have their butter
a difference of two or three cents
pound

Color of Eggs an Asset.

One of the most potent factors, per
haps, that should be considered when
selecting a breed for producing eggs
for market is the demand of the mar
ket at which the eggs are to be dis
posed Of says The Outing Magazine.
Some markets, notably New York City
and cities Immediately adjacent, pre-
fer white-shelled eggs, and the best
trade in these markets will accept none
other. Boston prefers brown eggs, and
pays a substantial premium for them ;
and, taking the country over, the pref
erence is for brown eggs by a large
majority. However, in many markets
no preference at all is expressed; in
fact, those just mentioned are practic-
ally the only markets in which the
color of the egg receives attention to
the extent of influencing prices. Where
there is preference, and whichever
the preference is, one should keep va
riety of fowls that lay eggs Of the pre-
ferred color.

Loss of Fertility by Leaching.

LOSS of Fertility by Teaching.
Land kept constantly as q garden
loses much of its fertility by teaching.
A clover rotation is the best preventive
Of this There should be at least two
or three garden spots on each farm
kept rich enough so that one years eX-
ira manuring will bring it into the
finest possible condition for garden
truck. If farmers could always plant
gardens on twoyear clover sod they
would raise better crops and with less.
stable manure and other fertilizers
than they now require. The clover
does much more than furnish green
manure to ferment in the soil. Its
roots reach down into the subsoil, thus
not only saving and bringing to the
surface plant food that would other
wise be wasted. but also by enltvening
the subsoil, allowing the roots of crops
to go deeper. Glover sod to begin with,
if we'll enriched is best for such crops
as cucumbers and melons, that are al
ways most likely to suffer from
drought. 1t is quite impossible to make
a good garden crop unless the land has
previously been enriched by Il series of
heavy manurings. The fertility lost by
teaching must be constantly renewed.

ty consisted OF four companies Of the
First Tennessee and a company Of
bushwhackers, something over 400 men
in all. We found twenty eight of their
men wounded, and were told that thir-
teen had been killed We lost one man.
THE next day General Mitchell, who
had heard of the fight, came down to
visit us. He looked over the ground,
examined the bridge and approaches,
and complimented us for our gallant
defense, saying that we had saved his
line of communications. Then he add
ed: Well, boys, l suppose, if you had
had a commissioned officer with you,
you would have surrendered; but as
it was, you didn't know enough to sur

two uprights and the cross-piece ON the
top are of locust. All the rest is Of
cedar. Parts Of the smaller branches
have been left on the pieces that go to
fill up the gate. A gateway like this
would not prove effective against pigs

Idaho Man Finds New Wheat.

A new variety of wheat has been dis
covered by a farmer living near JUL
eta, Idaho He says he found a few
kernels of the wheat growing wild in
Alaska. and being struck with their
Dlumpness, hardness and other appar-
ent good qualities, he brought home a
few kernels and planted them. From
those few kernels he harvested enough
the first year to plant several square
rods of ground the second year, the
Weld from this planting being at the
rate of more than 100 bushels per
acre, well-filled heads; the kernels are
large. plump and hard and millers say
it makes good -four.

saw to cut the tree, the end opposite the
handle is supported by the cord in the

With the employment of this guide the
necessity of an extra man to manage
one end of the saw is eliminated.
